KITCHEN ECONOMIES.
A Substitute For the Fish Kettle and
Other Makeshifts.

If you have no fish kettle tie the
fish in a piece Of coarse muslin before
cooking it, so that there may be no
delay in lifting it out en- done.
Rub it slightly with vinegar or add a
little to the boiling water. as it whit
ems the fish and makes 1t firmer.
Small mustard tins make good spice
boxes if a neat label is placed on the
front Of each tin. An earthen pan is
the best receptacle for keeping bread
fresh, but if this cannot be obtained
large tin with good lid makes Il
capital substitute.
For the cutter which is used for
stamping out. rounds of pastry use
lids of tins, tops of tumblers or Wine
glasses. a good set of weights and
scales should find place in every
kitchen. Quantities may sometimes be
guessed pretty accurately. but there
are many things which must be weigh
ed.
A salamander is used to impart Il
brown color to any preparation. The
instrument is made red hot and held
close to the preparation till it is
Drowned. A fire shovel made red hot
will do as well. If you have no tongs
for turning steaks and chops, this can
be done with two spoons.
Every housekeeper knows that by
using fork the Juice runs out and is
wasted, and the meat will look white

Covering Furniture.

An original idea for covering furni-

cessful by a woman who wished to
have some unsightly chairs in her fur
nished fiat improved. She bought a
lot of Roman blankets with wide dark
blue and red stripes and had an up
holsterer cover her sofa and chairs
with them. just as though he We're
using tapestry or velours. These look
ed so we'll that she has had her bed
room chairs also covered with blankets
having alternate pink ard floral strircs.
She has had portieres and inside cur
tainS made of blankets matching those
on the chairs, and the effect is really
charming. and, as the blankets are
very cheap. they cost much less than
one would suppose. She says that ev-
erything depends upon the color of the
blankets chosen. or course very pro-
nounced stripes would he ugly upon
furniture. but the more subdued or
delicate colors give most satisfactory
appearance to Il room. Here is an 0p-
portunity for the amateur upholsterer

The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, lone of the
objects of the law is to inform the
consumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount of
chloroform, opium, morphine, and
other habit forming drugs be stated
on the label of each bottle. The
manufacturers Of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy have always claimed
that their remedy did not contain
any of these drugs. and the truth of
this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one of the
safest, but one of the best in use for
coughs and colds. Its value has
been proved beyond question during
the many years it has been in general
use. For sale by Evans Drug Co.
