Getting After the Tariff.

One OF the best signs OF the day is

fair student and supporter OF the

DELICIOUS USES FOR HONEY.
Is an Excellent and Wholesome Sub.
stitute for Sugar.

Honey should take the part Of
sugar on bread, as sweet that chill
dren so crave Il would also in this
manner supply The craving for candy.
People who have cultivated taste for
honey in their coffee and tea as a
sweetener declare that 1t gives a fine
flavor.
Honey is far more wholesome in
made dishes than sugar, and if any Ill
effects follow the use of sugar honey
will be found an excellent antidote.
White clover honey has the finest
flavor. Buckwheat honey is darker,
less attractive and rather cloying.
Honey will not become tiresome
sweet if used in many different ways.
An excellent relish is made by dip
ping half slices of stale bread into a
mixture made Of a cupful of milk,
one beaten egg-as for custard-a
pinch of salt and two tablespoonfuls
of honey Dip the slices of bread in
this and brown quickly on both sides,
using bacon or ham fat to fry In.
Serve with honey or butter.
For an omelet nothing can compare
with honey. Make plain omelet,
using water in place of milk, as 1t
always makes an omelet more ten.
der, Cook in the usual manner, pour
over It a stream of honey while piping
hot and serve at once. As hot grid
die cakes are served, spread each with
honey and fold over like an omelet.
Honey may take the place of sugar
Almost entirely in cake. To cupful
of flour use two tablespoonfuls Of
sugar and three of honey. This
amount of sweetening will be equal
to the usual cupful of sugar allowed
to a cupful of -four in cake making.
With this difference only, the cake
recipe selected may be copied in full.
A delicious filling for layer cake or
short cake is made with honey, Blend
half cupiul each Of sugar and honey
with two tablespoonfuls of water,
Heat over The fire and stir in the
stidly whipped white of an egg,

Another provision In the law Is
that before a county can draw it,

LIGHTING THE ROOM
A MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN
THE HOME.
Side Lights Increase Apparent Size OF
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Still Used
for Reading lamps-Fernery
for Dining Table.

OF the various problems of furnish
Ing a house, the question Of lighting is
an important factor. For rooms Of
some height il is generally agreed
that the invisible source of light is
the best. This means concealed lights
high above the eye, that reflect upon
the ceiling and then throw soft light
down over the whole room. High cell
ings. however, are not built in the
ordinary house. and. therefore, would
be impracticable for domestic use. The
apparent size OF rooms in an apart
ment or house may be considerably
increased by using side lights instead
OF the regulation chandelier, \ pair
may be placed near the piano, another
over a corner seat or against book
case. and SO on, TO give light where
specially needed
Some consider. however, that a
house is not properly lighted where
side fixtures alone are used. Low cen
tral lights are often a necessity, and
these requirements are best met by
lamps or dror.liChts. Even where
electricity and gas are used, kerosene
is still popular, II provides steadier
and softer light for reading. Many OF
