heat the bag quickly by placing 1t in
the oven or even on the top OF the
stove. After once using this you will
never attempt to warm the feet or

holds the heat long time, and the
bag can be tucked up to the back with

plan to make two or three OF the bags
and keep them on hand, ready for use
at any time when needed.

A Business That PAYS,

Women are, as a rule. most success
full in decorative work, and It is a
matter for establishment that compar-
atively few have so far gone in for
this branch Of money making.
There are numbers of girls with
powers Of discrimination who might
pick up curios and antiques at a rea-
sonable price. though, of course. even
In the depths of the country, the SUD-
ply has been steadily declining for
years
Not alone that, but cottage owners
OF old china and oak have become
more wary, and articles of what Mrs.
Malaprop termed 'bigotry and virtue"
are not to be bought up for a mere
song.
Still, there is a good field for the
woman collector. In furnishing and
decorative work feminine ideas are
hardly to be surpassed, and many a

Perverse, But PIausIbIe.

When the house cleaning season
comes 1t has always been customary
to start from the top Of the house and
work down until the cellar is reached,
but there is a show" housewife who
does not carry out this plan. She
first cleans the top room of the house,
then the cellar, finishing with the first
floor.
Her reason for doing this Is be-
cause in cleaning the cellar. the dirt
from the coal, etc. works its way
up through the registers to the floor
above. and when the first floor is
cleaned before the cellar, she is com
PEELED to go over 1t again, owing to the
dust that settles on carpets and fur
niture.
This is plausible and sounds like
good reasoning.

Clean Watches with Bread.

Perhaps the most novel use 70
which bread 10 put may be seen in the
great watch factories at Elsin. nj.
where more than 20 loeves OF frssh
bread are required each day. Super
intendent George e. Hunter OF the
watch factory Is quoted a. saying:
From the earliest time In the his
tory OF Matchmaking It has been the
custom OF watchmakers to reduce
fresh bread to the form Of dough. This
is done by stssming and knaadinx.
They then use this dough for reraov-
Ing oil and chips that naturally ad
here In course OF manufacture =
pieces as small AZ the parts OF 4
watch. There are many parts Of q
watch, by the way. that are 90 small
as to be barely visible to the naked
eye. The oil IL absorbed By this
dough and the chips stick to II and
there Is no other known substance
which can be used as a wiper without
leaving some Of its particles attached
TO the thing wiped. This accounts
Tor the continued use OF bread dough
In the watch making industry.--

Art In Ice Cream Molda.

1t IL almost an art now to design
molds for ice cream. Often the Gus
toners Of the large shops suggest
what forms they wish the cream or
ice for a certain occasion to assume.
and the caterer arranges to have the
idea carried out. In this way many
odd molds are acquired. Flowers and
fruit are always a favorite One may
have roses to match the color scheme
Of the table decorations. There are
also tiny automobiles. Teddy bears"
and dolls.

Look Undar Foot

The lesson which life repeats and
constantly enforces Is look under
foot" You are always nearer the d.
vine and the true sources OF power
than you think. The lure of the dis
tant and the difficult is deceptive.
The great opportunity is where you
are. Do not despise your own place
and hour. Every place is under the
stars, every place Is the center Of the
world-John Burroughs in the Allan

of our two fleets we must have strong

and Manila
Another authority, speaking on the
same subject, says
Built and building, the United
States has twenty-eight first-class bat
tleships, several of which are being
modernized
THE senate has committed itself to
a policy of authorizing two new bat
tleships annually. This would mean
twenty-four more. or a total of forty
eight. in twelve years, or by 1920, but
~ that time some of the ships now in
commission will be entirely obsolete.
1T is obvious that the achievement
of the two ocean standard by the
time the Panama canal is completed
1915, will require the construction of
more than two ships a year. Four
annually at least will be needed in
addition to the auXiliaries, in which
the United States is sadly behind the
other great naval powers.
"The completion of Panama canal
will be worth many battleships. Main
tenance of the two ocean standard
without the canal means the constant
presence of a sixteen battleship-fieet in
each ocean. With the canal built, the
ships can be modified, thirty-two in
number, on either the Atlantic or Pa
cific coast with assurance that the
other coast can be reached in from
twenty to thirty days if occasion should
arise"
