It is stated that in their eagerness
to curtail expenses number Of the big
ailroads have cut down their allowances
for the operation of the block signal
systems on their lines below the danger
point and that they propose to take
chances until accidents on their lines
create a public demand that will force
them to return to the approved
methods Of signaling again. Past ex
periences should have taught the rail
way managers that this kind of econo-
my is the most expensive in the long
run for any road. A railroad would
have to have extraordinary luck to
show any reduction in the totals of it's
expense account on this kind of a plan
for ordinarily what it saved in operat-
ing expenses would be more than
balanced by the increased expenses of it's
legal department in fighting damage
suits and paying claims for accidents
on it's line.

English Beef.

Four or five pounds of beef, scatter
little fine salt on bottom of roaster;
the salt makes browning for the
gravy; put in the beef with three
strips of beef fat on top; put in oven,
baste often, no water; time, one hour
and fifteen minutes. When partly
cooked, turn, season, pepper and salt.
When done put on hot dish, have drip
ping jar ready, pour off not quite all
the clear fat without the brown; you
have dripping for future roast or fry
ing, thus saving on your lard. If you
like gravy thickened, dust in a little
dry flour in the pan, work well with
spoon, then add boiling water, sea
son, boil up and strain. All meats
and poultry are far superior cooked
in the above way, as water extracts
the flavor

Cause of Muddy Complexion.

Girls who are troubled with muddy
complexion and moth spots will usual
ly find the cause due to a sluggish
liver. The best possible remedy for a
sluggish liver is lemon juice. Take
the juice of half lemon in just
enough water to weaken the acid and
with no sugar the first thing on ris-
ing. A brisk morning walk will do
much TO improve the condition of the
liver and the general health A ten
minutes walk in the fresh morning
air before breakfast will brighten ones
spirits and health and will improve the
appetite for breakfast.

SOME USEFUL HINTS
WORTHY OF FASTING IN THE
HOUSEHOLD ScRAPBook.
Bran as a Material for Cleaning Not
Always Properly Appreciated
Changing Bed Linen TO
Rejuvenate Shawl.

Few people know how useful bran
is for cleaning. For painted and var
nished woodwork it is invaluable, re-
moving the dirt without destroying
the finish.
Colored goods, which usually fade
when washed, will not lose color If
washed in bran water. 1t is excellent
as scalp cleanser and is good for the
hair, making it glossy.
Used instead of soap, it whitens
and softens the hands.
To prepare bran water, fill small
bag-an ordinary salt bag is excellent
for this purpose-with bran, place it
in pail, cover with boiling water, and
1t is ready for use.
Arrange to change the bed linen on
the day you sweep your bedrooms.
The soiled sheets may thus be drawn
over the newly-made beds to keep the
dust from the spread and pillows. 1t
will take but few moments to re-
move these sheets and shake out of
doors before consigning them to the
clothes hamper
To prevent mating from becoming
yellow on the floor, wash off occasion
ally with large coarse cloth which
has been dipped in strong solution
of salt water This will not only pre-
vent it from becoming yellow, but will
give the various colors a fresh and
new look.
The woman who finds her knitted
shawl soiled after the summers wear
can make it look soft and clean by US
ing cold water and white soap.
She should fill a tub full of cold
water with a quarter cake of pure
white soap melted in it. Into this
lather she should put the shawl,
washing it well between the hands,
rubbing the soiled spots between her
thumbs.
The shawl should then be rinsed
thoroughly in clean cold water and
hung to dry without wringing
All the time it is drying it should
be shaken occasionally. Before it is
entirely dry it can be pulled into
shape, pinned to the bed or a large
chair. When it is quite dry it
might be folded into squares with a
little satchet between and laid away
until it is needed
If you cannot afford to pay so or
rs cents for place cards get the de-
sired number of cards in any pre-
ferred size and decorate one corner
of each card with artistic flowers. The
little forget-me-nots, tied with blue rib
bons, are just as dainty as can be.
Get only very small flowers. If one
is giving a birthday party it would
be clever idea to tie a birthfower
to the card.

To Lift Hot Pots.

A good way to remedy an iron han

to make a slit in one end of a cork
and slip it on to the finger hold. In
this way the handle may be removed
from the iron without danger of burn
ing the fingers.
