To Clean Raq Ruqs.

A rag rug, after months Of hard
usage, should be thoroughly beaten,
then hung up on the c,othesline and a
full force of water from garden hose
should be turned on it. After the
rug is well dampened, washing pow
der must be rubbed into the tufting
and the water continued until the
water that runs off begins to look
clear. Let it drain well, then turn on
a third stream for final rinse. Leave
it on the line until dry. Unbleached
cotton and linen can be bleached in a
similar manner and save much labor.
Pin the cotton securely on the line,
drench it thoroughly with the hose
and leave it hanging; as soon as it is
dry renew the spraying.

THE succuLENr MINcE PIE.

Weigh after it is chopped three
pounds lean, tender beef, Add to it
pound and a quarter of suet, chopped
and freed from strings, six pounds
tart apples. preferably Baldwins or
greetings, chopped. six pounds sugar,
four pounds seeded raisins, three
pounds currants washed and dried,
one-half pound citron cut In thin
shreds, three pints sweet cider, one
quart of stock in which the meat was
boiled. three pints cider boiled down
thick, three tablespoonfuls powdered
cinnamon, two tablespoonfuls cloves.
one teaspoonful each mace, allspice
and nutmeg, two tablespoonfuls salt,
one teaspoonful white pepper, one pint
molasses, three pints jelly and as.
much more juice of preserves or jelly
as the housewife may elect. Brandy,
sherry or rose water may be added
at the last if desired. Chopped prunes
are deemed better than currants by,
some cooks, while candied orange or,
lemon peel, a little cold tea or coffee
may always be added with advantage.
This mince meat may be scalded be-
fore putting in the brandy or simply
canned in glass jars or stone pots
without cooking, its richness insuring
its keeping. For the fiat dweller, with
no store room facilities, this amount of
mince meat might have to be halved
or quartered, but with a good cellar or
cold storage room the amount will be
found just about right to last the win
ter for the average family with normal
appetites.

TO SERVE WITH ROAST BEEF.
New England Yorkshire Pudding q
PalatabIe Accessory.

l often wished to have on my table
the famous pudding which accom-
panies the roast beef of Old Eng
land" but in my modern American
kitchen 1 had no way of suspending a
roast over the batter while cooking.
Besides, my taste ran to light fluffy
things made with baking powder, and
my one attempt at using the old Eng
lish recipe for Yorkshire pudding
turned out heavy, soggy affair. One
day l used a little ingenuity with my
recipe and since then the pudding has
been welcome addition to a roast
beef course in my home. 1 take a
pint of sweet milk, pinch of salt,
three beaten eggs, teaspoonful OF
baking powder, and enough flour to
make batter of the consistency of
pancake batter. l pour about one
fourth Of a cupful of hot gravy from
the roast into a hot dripping pan,
put the batter in, letting the fat gravy
spread to the sides of the pan, and
then 1 scatter more gravy over the
batter in little puddles, and bake it
20 minutes in a hot oven. Cut into
squares with a heated knife and serv-
ed with the roast beef as hot as posi-
BILE, it is very palatable- e-Housekeeper.

POSTAGE Stamps.

1t is often desired to separate post
age stamps that are stuck together
without destroying the gum.
This can be done by dipping the
stamps in water for a few seconds
only, shaking of the excess of water
and heating with a match as much
as possible without burning.
The heat expands the water between
the stamps and separates them 50
that they can be easily pulled apart
and are ready for use.

ing borrowed from his friends or acquaint-
ances, he could get little or nothing. He
was a worthy man and an honest one. He
made the mistake of borrowing dollars, even
half dollars, from friends, touching" dozens
of them before he finally got on to his feet
again. He could have borrowed $25 or $50
from one or two but the fact that he bor-
rowed paltry sums cheapened him with them
all.
After he was firmly on his financial feet
again he started out to establish line of
credit. He borrowed from everybody. He
borrowed from friends, acquaintances-
everybody he met. He repaid promptly.

have another friend who was annoyed
by the laundryman coming around once a
week to collect small sums. He let his bill
run over a week, and the collector was after
him every minute. He paid and let the
next bill run little longer, and then paid
that. Now he lets his bills run two months,
and the collector never thinks of coming
after the money. The laundry knows he Is

The principle of doing business on cash
basis is declared by business men to be
bad one-and II 1t is bad in business 1t GER
tainly is bad in private life. 1t is stated
that there are only two big concerns in Chi
cago that attempt to do business on cash
basis, or buy goods for cash. The others
want their ready money and object to hav-
ing huge capital tied up In stock. They
use the money, and the wholesale houses
that sell to them wait willingly for the quar-
terly settlements.
So recognized is the principle that sixty
days time is expected and is counted as
cash payment in many lines.
The man on a salary should, Of course,
pay his bills promptly and to the full limit
But he should be in debt. Debt is recog-
nized by the greatest authorities as being
one of the best incentives to work on the
rart of any man. With a bill to meet at the
end of the month the household economies
are regulated to the emergency and saw
ing results, showing that debt is a good
thing Meantime the debtor has had the
use of the money in hand and the opportu-
nifty to turn 1t over to some advantage. He
has asked no more of the tradesman than
the tradesman asked of the wholesaler, or
the wholesaler asked of the manufacturer
and why should he pay cash when all
these are doing business mainly on credit?
But the main and chief advantage OF run
ming bills-and paying them promptly-is
that 1t establishes the individual in posi-
ton where he can be certain of credit for
a short time at least, should he happen to
need it-and those times come all too often
in the lives of salaried people who are do

7 is a strange thing that the man who
pays cash for all he gets cannot get credit,
while man who runs bills habitually
get about all the credit he wants. The
higher the bils--the better his credit-un
til such time that he may fail to settle He
may even keep the tradesman waiting for
the money for weeks and then drop In cas-
ualy and pay up. which-paradoxical as
it may seem-simply strengthens his credit.
Nothing will shake the credit Of the ha-
bitual bill runner or borrower, except abso-
Lutte failure or refusal to pay what he owes.
Yes, by all means get into debt.
Every man who Is not already in debt.
every householder who does not owe bills
to grocer, laundryman. liveryman, dry goods
merchant. or other tradesman,, should at
once start to run up bills at their houses.
1t is even the part of wisdom to borrow
money from friends and acquaintances.
Experience has proved that the cash basis
salary. He should be in debt for two rea-
sons: first and foremost, to establish the
credit against the time that he may need
credit, and. second, to lay the foundations
for reputation for honesty and honorable
ness.
No one knows whether a man who pays
care-but the man who comes around reg
ularly and pays his bills at once is estab-
lished as an honest man.
Many young couples starting housekeep
ing make, the mistake of paying cash for
All inexperienced people do.
The wise young couple, as soon as they
haze settled down in their cosy fiat, begin
to order groceries and have them charged.
They should pay promptly at the end of
each week for a time. In this way the
tradesman comes to know them, and know
that the money is good.
In like manner they should run bills at
laundres, dry goods stores, drug stores, flor
lists, with doctors, liverymen, and others
and pay up promptly. This course of pro-
cedure will gain them acquaintance and
force many people to remember who they
are.
After paying up promptly for a few
months they should begin to run larger and
larger bills, letting the laundry. milk, ond
grocery bills run over week or two They
should never do this unless there is money
in hand TO pay these bills at any time, SO
that, If payment is demanded, you can get
angry and hunt up new tradesman.
Then, II misfortune or loss OF employ
ment or sickness, anything of that nature
should happen, the couple will have credit
to tide them over the financial stringency.
Compare this with the condition of the
couple that never have asked for credit but
paid cash for everything. The first time
they ask for even a days credit they arouse
suspicion. They always have paid cash and
the fact that they now seek a little credit
is a confession that the supply of money
is short-so the tradesman shes and they
are refused goods
