Cleaning Carpet

System is more important than any
thing else in cleaning carpets. Ingram
carpets should be taken up every year.
If Brussels carpets be properly swept
it will not be necessary to take them
up more than once in two or three
years.
Attend to only one room at a time,
TO avoid having the rest of the house
all torn up, dusty and generally disor-
derby.
Have two strong sheets made of IN
bleached cotton. Brush all the fur
niture and remove it from the room.
Brush the pictures and cover them.
Take down all the draperies and
shades.
Now remove the lacks from the car
pet. putting them in a cup. Fold the
carpet lengthwise, roll it up and put it
in one OF the sheets, which tie. Put
the Innings in the other sheet
Take both sheets into the yard, or
some field nearby. and after spreading
the Innings, sweep them on both sides,
pile them up ana cover with the sheet
Spread the carpet and beat with a
rattan or long switch Sweep IL, then
turn il over and beat again. Let il lie
on the grass wrong side up until the
room Is ready.
After sprinklinE wet sand or sawdust
on the floor sweep. and take up the

from the doors. windows and base
boards. Pin a piece Of canton flannel
on a broom and brush the ceilings and
walls.
Sweep the floor once more and wash
with hot water Wiping very dry. Next
wash the paint and windows. Lay the
Innings on the floor, putting a small
tack here and there to keep them in
place.
Put the carpet on the floor, unrolling
ii in the direction in which II is to be
laid. Begin TO tack II at the end Of
the room which is the most irregular
If there be a fireplace or bay window
IN the room, fit the carpet around these
places first.
Use large tacks to hold the carpet
temporarily in place. They can be
Withdrawn when the work is finished
When the carpet is fitted to a place
use small tacks TO keep IL in place.
Tack one end of the carpet stretching
IT well; then side then the other end
and finally the other ends.
Be careful TO keep the lines straight
and TO have the carpets fit tightly. If
a carpet is left loose II viii not only
look bad, but Will wear )out twice as
quick.
When the carpet is laid, pour little
naphtha on any sOiled places and rub
with piece Of flannel until the spots
disappear.
Always have a window open at such
times, TO allow the gas to escape. Put
about six quarts of warm water in a
pail and add four tablespoonfuls of
ammonia. Wiring a wooden cloth out
Of this and wipe the carpet carefully.

WEEKLY COOKING LESSON
COMBINATION OF MEAT AND VEGETABLES
By CoRNELIA C. BEDFORD.

When planning meals. such combina-
tons of meat and vegetables should
be made as will please both eye and
stomach Our natural taste may err
now and then yet a majority of good
combinations have been the outgrowth
of the real needs of the body. Take, for
instance. the Irishmans meal Of butter
milk and potatoes; the latter supplied
starch. bulk, bodily energy, while the
former was rich in just those constitu-
ents which were lacking in the potato.
For a roast beef dinner. take for the
spinach, chard, Brussels sprouts, string
or lima beans. With boiled beef take
turnips or carrots and plain boiled po-
tatoes followed by a green salad. Boil
ed rice and stewed turnips so with
boiled mutton, in early summer peas
or asparagus With roast turkey have
potato crOquettes and boiled onions
With boiled fish serve plain boiled po-
tatO balls with parsley sauce and Gu
cumber mixed with French dressing
Broiled fish requires French fried pota-
: toes. Plain boiled potatoes go with
baked fish, also stewed cucumbers with
a butter sauce.
Fricandeau of veal should be accom-
panied by macedoine OF vegetables
several varieties, such as turuips. car
rots and peas cooked separately then
drained ana mixed IN good Drown
sauce. With ducks. brown turnips and
grape, while macaroni and an orange
salad goes with wild ducks.
All made dishes of oysters, clans. or
fish should be accompanied with Gu
cumber sauce and plain rolls or bread
Something acid, such as cold slaw or
tomato salad goes with fried oysters or
soft shell clans with PANIED rabbit,
stuffed potatoes and scalloped tomatoes,
A dish which combines in itself all
the elements necessary for nutrition is
macarOni with cheese and tomato sauce,
and IL is nutritious and most appetiZ-
ing when well made
Chicken fricassee should be accom-
panied By dun plings, either baked or
steamed in the meat pot. rice so pre-
pared that il is dry and light. and. in
season, fried tomatoes. Peas and mush-
rooms go well with sweetbreads- Fried
corn meal mush is generally served with
brOiled mackerel. A crown roast Of
lamb or mutton should have, as side

requires a sharp mixture. such as sauce
VifAaig rette, or tomato sauce to which
considerable worcf stershire has been
added. With mutton or venison. serve
currant jelly. sour grape jelly with duck

when accompanied with a sharp horse
radish sauce.

Perspirmg Hands

When hands perspire too freely it is a
Sign Of nervousness. Note how a nerv-
Gus person keeps the hands constantly
In motion. although by no means is this
the cause of the affliction. Too much
moisture on the hands will soil dainty
sewing, ruin gloves, and is really dis
agreeable IN many respects To dip the
hands in very hot water. then cold. rub
bling alcohol and boracic acid into the
palms, is one good remedy for the
trouble. Powder does little good while
an astringenr Is always beneficial.

Ironing Of FlOnneIS

After drying, the flannels may be I'm
ished by folding evenly, or, If preferred.
by ironing with cool iron.
This without doubt gives them a
much better appearance. But as the
warmth Of flannel depends to a great
extent on its soft, woody surface, IL is
pity to deprive IT of this by ironing,
especially in the case of garments that
are worn as underwear
Ironing presses the soft fbres into the
material. making il less comfortable
They should instead be well shaken and
pulled into good order, folded evenly.

A Pretty Development
Of Shelma Cloth

One Of the simplest and yet most art

from shelma cloth IN that Undesirable
shade known as cadet blue. It's pecul-
iarly soft gray-blue tones are empha .
sized very effectively by the creamy lice
of the guimpe worn under the shield
bodice. A novel trimming IS the gold
sOutaehe braid applied 10 the piplngs OF

The myriad forms in which the
jumper idea has been developed to sat

latest expression In this pretty new
manner. These over-garments that are

material as the skirt, either Of linen or
wooden goods or silk. or they may be
made as a special and distinct acces-

To Sir Smooth TRIckenmg

All housekeepers appreciate the a.
fcultIes OF mixing perfectly smooth

One of the best methods f. success
is TO take a new wire dishclOth with

stirrer. Half a dozen whisks with this
and your thickening is all mixed much
smoother than you could possibly do II
with a spoon.

For The HouSekeeper

When running brass rods through win

over the end that is being pushed
