TO MAKE SECURING BALLS.
Two Methods of Preparing These Use.
full Aids to Housewives.

Not every housekeeper knows how
to prepare securing balls. The follow
ing is good method: Mix fuller's
earth and strong suds of white cas-
tile soap to stiff paste, then work
this into balls about the size of a
hens egg and allow them to dry.
To use, first remove all surface
dirt with a brush after shaking, and
sponge the soiled places lightly with
tepid water.
Then rub gently but very thoroughly
with one Of these balls. The garment
should be hung In a dry place for a
day or so, then the dry earth brushed
off, After this, it is ready for press
ing.
Another way of making these balls
Is to use five ounces of pipe clay.
three ounces of powdered French
chalk and three ounces of alcohol.
This paste should be nodded into
small balls and set aside to dry.
If a housekeeper has any leisure
time on her hands after the autumn
housekeeping, she would find II a
great help to make a lot of these
securing balls and have them on hand
for any emergency.

salt and three tablespoonfuls of sugar.
When these are dissolved stir In we'll
sifted warm flour until a dough is
formed sufficiently stiff to turn out
from the mixing-bowl on the mould
ing board in mass. The amount Of
flour required to do this is about three
quarts. To this -four may be added a
large teaspoonful of lard; the result
is excellent. Knead this dough, add
ing, II necessary, a sprinkle of flour
from time to time until 1t becomes
smooth and elastic and ceases to stick
to the fingers or the board Then put
II into a well-greased earthern bowl,
brush lightly with melted lard, cover
with wooden cloth or blanket, and
set to rise in warm place for two

METHODS OF COOKING MEATS.
Water Destroys Flavor of Roast Lamb
For SteWed Chicken.

Never pour water into the pan In
which you roast lamb. Rub the meat
with salt and pepper and scatter flour
lightly over the top. Then cover with
the leaf" of fat which comes with the
roast. Cover with second pan of
same size and haste with the juices
of the meat. Water destroys the fla
vor.
When ordering Hamburger steak,
select the meat. Do not permit the
butcher to put In tailings and dis
colored scraps. Fresh rump or round
is best. Have 1t first ground, then
laid on the meat block and the onion
chopped into it with a cleaver.
To get best results In stewing chick
en- according to the good old-fashioned
methods, disjoint the fowl, wipe each
coming to a boil. Cover tightly and
set back on the stove to simmer very
gently. When about half done add
salt. When the meat is just ready to
drop from the bone you will find your
stock greatly reduced. Add an equal
quantity of milk, thicken with flour
and then add pepper and parsley
chopped fine. Serve on crisp toast. :.
If you intend to serve cold ham
whole parboil and then bake 1t.
Scrub the ham thoroughly and soak
over night in cold water. Next morn
ing wipe off clean, lay in cold water
in a granite iron pot and bring just
to a boil. Pour off this water, add
more cold and bring to boil the Sec
ond time; add handful of bay leaves
and some whole cloves. Simmer for
two hours, remove from the pot, peel
off the skin, lay in a dripping pan
In which you have poured cup Of
water and one of sherry. Cover with
bread crumbs and pepper. bake until
golden brown.

Mud stains may be removed from
tan leather shoes by rubbing them
with slices Of raw potato. When dry
polish in usual way.
Finger marks on paint can be cas-
lily removed by rubbing with a clean

II muslin curtains are needed in a

they can be washed, slightly starched,
shaken hard. pulled into shape and
hung up without ironing.
Sheets, pillowcases, towels. table
cloths-all folded linens-should be
laid upon the shelves with the open

round folds outward. The effect is
neater TO the eye, and articles are
more easily taken out.
Small punctures in hot-water bags
or rubber gloves may be replaced by
applying a small patch of tailors'
mending tissue; moisten with common
chloroform, lay on a second patch
and moisten again, until four or five
patches have been applied. The chic

MUCH RICH LAND IN MINDANAo
Big Island Has Millions of Acres Now
Lying Idle.

Americans have taken the acquisi-
ton of the Philippines as matter OF
fact. The islands are so far away,
and there is so much of pressing inter
est right at hand, that the manner OF
arranging our new responsibilities
and discharging our new obligations,
is left absolutely to the government at
Washington, says Army and Navy
Life How many American people
know, for example, that Mindanao is
a little virgin empire, with millions or
acres of the richest land in the world,
now idle and fallow, but capable OF
enormous production? An American
officer who has just returned from
there calls it the pearl in the gold
en- setting of the archipelago, the
promised land for the toilers in the
east"
A while ago there was circulated
through the islands petition praying
the American people TO grant the same
trade privileges to the Philippines
that have been accorded to Porto
Rico, which island, after getting what
she wanted and what she needed,
jumped her export trade with the Uni
ted States from SS,500,000 TO $2S,OOO,-
900 and her imports from $9,6OO.0OO
to $29,0O0.000 annually! Porto Rico
is only dot on the map in COMPARE
son with the Philippine archipelago,
and the benefits accruing to American
consumers of her products are slight
in contrast with those which would
come with the extension of our Gus
toms To include the PhiliDpineS.
