KITCHEN ECONOMIES.
Odds and Ends of Soap Utilized to
Save Pennies.


The housewife who squanders all
her odds and ends Of soap should learn
a lesson in thrift. She is reckless, be-
cause these bits, no matter how small.
can be utilized In a way that saves
more pennies than one would think
If you are one of those who are care
less in this respect, mend your ways.
Gather together once week all the
ends of kitchen and laundry soap into
one jar and all the ends Of toilet and
household soap into another jar.
AS most housewives use the same
there will not be much of a mixture
1t will make no difference if there is.
as the result will be much the same.
1t might be just as well to label each
jar in a clear manner. On one put
Kitchen Soap;" on the other, Toilet
Soap"
When you have both jars full go to
work in some idle hour and shave
these pieces Of soap with a sharp old
Kitchen knife. Have two pans or bowls
for the purpose, and when you are
through with the soap pour into each
pan two or three pints of boiling
water.
Keep this water at the boiling point
until every particle of the soap is dis
solved, stir it with a clean wooden
spoon. and when it becomes soft and
thick pour back into the jars while hot
and cover each one.
Put them away to cool, and when
this is done you will find each jar is
full of smooth. even, clear jelly.
This will keep for any amount of
time. The kitchen jar is left in the
pantry, and the toilet jar is put in the
bathroom.
This soap jelly is just as good to use
as cake of soap Some women pre-
fer it. For shampooing the hair it is
far ahead of lather.
A tablespoonful of it may be put into
bottle of boiling water with little
bay rum if one likes the odor, then
shaken into thick froth and used on
the head.
Half the bottle is used at first to
cleanse the scalp, and when this is
rinsed off the other half of the bottle
is used to wash the hair itself.
Clear hot water is used for rinsing.

any community, state or nation and,
finally, are an index to the intelligence.
prosperity and activity of the people.
All these points are in legitimate
support Of the construction and main
tenance Of good roads, says the South
ern Cultivator. Many other reasons
might be cited in their favor. 1t does
seem anomalous that, amid all our
boasted national progress, this great
necessity Of modern civilization should
be kept so far in the background.
The nation needs better and more
substantial highways, and it is hope
full to see indications that this subject
will soon receive more attention from
our national and state lawmakers than
heretofore. The Importance of good
rural highways is being more thor
oughly recognized by business men and
legislators than ever before, and the
farmers need no argument to convince
them that better roads will improve
their business materially.

HER HOUSE IN ORDER.


Housekeeper's Heart.
One of the first things that the house
keeper to be thinks of when she has
finished ascertaining the bare necessi-
ties of the household life is the china
closet and its contents.
Few are the women who do no;
pride themselves on their china closet
Well arranged and full of handsome
wares, it ranks among the best orna.
ments in the house. But a common
trouble is that each meal finds it de
pleted for the table and the harmony
Of its arrangement destroyed. Now
silver of any sort has no standing III
the china closet. 1t should be kept in
separate boxes in the buffet drawer
and purely ornamental objects of sill
yer, silver-gilt and cut glass ought to
be confined to the buffet, for properly
the china closet holds only china, glass
and heavier clay wares.
In at least half the houses it is built
into the wall This disposes of loca-
ton. But it is imperative to have
good shelves and plenty OF them
Sometimes it is possible to make the
very high shelves answer by screwing
hooks on the under sides and hanging
there cups, mugs and little pitchers
Hang the saucers against the wall
back Of the cup by means of fat wire
china racks. There may be a double
or even treble row of the racks. In
filing them study colors as much as
possible. With saucers put the big
ment disturbs the color scheme Leave
the shelf surfaces plain and cover
them with heavy linen cut to fit and
ornamented with line Of drawn work
Heavy butchers linen is best, and IA
pad Of the same will safeguard the
glassware shelf
Claret jugs can be hung from the
shelves. A corner position is best for
them. Salvers and other fiat things
may go in racks at the back. In that
case the shelf needs a padded linen
at the back. like the shelf proper. Test
hanging things by swinging them, so
as to make certain they will not strike
anything else.
Keep plates carefully sorted and
piled, size and pattern together Give
big platters room on the lowermost
shelf. If it is not properly grooved for
them tack strips of lath along it and
cut the linen for it wide enough to go
in and out. Stand the platters on edge.

high shelf space they look prettier on

ting smaller toward the sides.
Make the most of every good bit and
set In a row in front of the fiat ones.

Big BOOST FOR GOOD ROADS
Plan to Hold Monster Meeting In St.
Paul In December.


Unless something unforeseen occurs
st. Paul will probably entertain some
time next December the biggest good
roads meeting ever held in Minnesota
or the surrounding states. George w.
Cooley, state highway engineer, is
planning on such a meeting, and if the
necessary arrangement can be made,
as now seems probable, it will be held.
The idea of holding a monster good
roads meeting was conceived BY Mr..
Cooley after the meeting recently held
in st. Paul. to which the county COM
missioners as well as others interested
in good roads were invited This meet
ing showed the widespread interest
taken in the matter throughout the
state. He expected between 100 and
200 to attend. but the attendance grew
to about 500, says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press. The same feeling has been
shown in the meetings which he has
addressed In the smaller towns
throughout the state, the farmers COM
ing in to attend the meetings in large
est in the good road problem.
eff the meeting is held it will cover
the field thoroughly" said Mr.. Cooley.
1T will be an exposition of roadmak-
ing machinery and materials, with
practical talks by men of wide expert
ence in the various details of the work.
In large meeting of this kind much
better results can be obtained than by
the smaller local meetings because in
such q meeting as we expect to hold
the manufacturers will have exhibits
of all kinds of machinery used In road
making, and we can have speakers of
wide experience at such a meeting
which is impossible for all of the
smaller meetings. A question box
would be feature, and through this
means any one confronted by special
problems in rcadmaking would be
able to get the advice of the men quail
fed to give 1t.
II have not yet decided definitely on
the plan, but there is a general de-
mand for such a meeting, and if it
can possibly be done the plans will be
carried OUT
Mr.. Cooley's plan is to eliminate the
''hot air. talks about good roads gen.
orally and to make it an instructive
meeting by having men go to ST Paul
who know about the practical details
Of roadmaking. Those who will go
will do so for the purpose Of learning
something about the building of good
roads, and it is the intention to meet
this expectation fully. The meeting
will probably last one week The ex-
hibits will over stone crushers, road
rollers, steel and concrete bridge work,
culverts and all sorts of machinery
and material used in road building.

of road. and It is the object of the

and worked regularly with the road

Points In Legitimate Support of Build

Good roads are benefit to the farm

Of farm products easier; they facilitate

humane in that they tighten the draft

Mr.. Wilson a Drawing Card.

Perhaps not again in many years

the case when James Wilson, Secre-
tary of Agriculture, goes to Sumter

As already stated in this correspon-
dence Mr.. Wilson promised Congress-
man Lever several days ago that he
would 60 to Sumter. At first he de.
clined- saying that his pressing en-
gagements would not permit him to
leave Washington while Congress is
in session, and that besides if he ac-
cepted one invitation he would be
wanted at all the school commence
ments to come off this year. Mr..
Lever, however, would not take no
for his answer. he used every ar
gument to persuade the secretary to
visit South Carolina and was finally
successful.
This visit is really no ordinary. mat
ter. Mr.. Wilson consistently declines
all such invitations, and has promised
to 60 to Sumter only because of the
friendship that exists between him
self and Sumter's representative in

these needed Improvements as much as

forth will be awaited with considerable in
