TO RENovATE THE CARPET.
Treatment That Will Make II Almost
Like New.

Many a perfectly good carpet be-
comes shabby and worn-looking With
out being actually old. The figures lose
their brightness and the grain is
rough and unkempt looking Here Is
a simple process by which the carpet
or rug will once more look present
able, and as good as new. II is vouch-
ed for by contemporary.
Cut an ounce of yellow soap into
squares, and with them make a lather
with a pint of clear boiling water Add
TO this lather a quart of hot water and
an ounce of boraX. Place the mixture
on the range, and bring the entire
preparation TO boil Remove 1t. set
1t to cool, and when quite cold add one
ounce each of alcohol and ammonia
and half an ounce of glycerin.
Wipe over only small portion of
the carpet at a time, and rub vigor-
ously with a clean flannel (which
should be repeatedly turned as il be-
comes soiled) dipped into the mix,
ture, until finally all the spots are re.
moved and the color revived
The result will be surprising. for
the change and improvement are re-
markable.

used either side up, and gain much
wear.
Cold water, tablespoonful of am
monia and soap will remove machine
grease when other means would not
answer on account Of colors running.
If few drops of glycerin be added
to the starch for linens, 1t will be
found that the iron will not stick and
that the linens will have a beautiful
gloss after they are ironed
Use a clean brick TO stand the iron
on when ironing instead of the usual
ironing stand. 1t has no holes under
meath to admit the air and the irons
will retain their heat much longer.
New shoes often do not take good

Satisfy FRITTeRs ARE GOOD.
Will Prove Excellent Substitute for
Fried Oysters.

Scrape and slice a quart of satisfy
roots and simmer in boiling sailed
water until tender If they are to be
used for dinner at night they should
be put to cook early i'm the afternoon
Let the water boil off instead OF drain
ing, in order to preserve the fine oy-
ster flavor of the plant. Press through
a coander. Sft into a bowl a pint of
flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der and one-half teaspoonful of salt
Beat two eggs thoroughly and add to
them enough sweet milk to make a
good muffin batter when added to the
dry ingredients. Drop in the satisfy,
season with pepper and more salt if
necessary. Have ready a frying pan
In which is a tablespoonful OF good
pork drippings or olive oil. and when
smoking hot drop in the fritters from
the point of a spoon. When brown on
one side, turn with a perforated Iadle,
rest for a moment on soft paper to
absorb all grease, and serve hot.
These are almost as good as fried
oysters.
