SOME USEFUL HOUSEHOLD NOTES

When cleaning pantry shelves fold
together at least three sheets of news
paper the longest way of the full
sheet. Place the fold to the front of
the shelf; fit carefully, and when next
| clean papers are needed slip a silver
!. knife in the fold of the outer sheet,
! cut along the entire length and remove
| the soiled part. In this way your
shelves may be cleaned often and with
little labor.
When canning fruit, put two rub
bers on the glass jar and there will be
no possible chance for air getting IN.
Sometimes there are sharp little edges
on the jar that seem to cut the one
rubber. The next rubber on top of
this viii keep out the air, even if the
lower one be cut. The tops can be
screwed on tighter as well.
To save space in the refrigerator put
all LIQUIDS, such as milk, soup or cold
drinks, in glass fruit jars with cover
on. Keep a glass jar of drinking
water also. You will not need ice in
it.
Dressmakers save time, when cutting
ont two corresponding pieces of pat
tern by not pinning the pattern to each
piece separately in order to mark all
the tucks, but instead place a piece
of carbon paper under the two pieces
of material. Then with a common
lead pencil mark all the perforations
Thus both pieces are marked exactly
alike in half the time usually re-
quired.
Unless very much soiled a white
macintosh may be cleaned by wash
ing it with soap and water, but if it is
exceptionally dirty dip it first in cold
soft water and then lay on a clean
table or board. With soft scrubbing
brush scrub with yellow soap on both
sides until the dirt is removed. Then
dip in three or four waters until the
soap is removed entirely, and hang it
out without wringing it. If the mud
stains around the bottom have been
in long and are obstinate, it is just as
well TO send it to a cleaner.
Fruit that is cooked with the skins
on. such as plums or cherries, should
never be plunged into boiling hot
syrup. as this will tougher and wrinkle
the skin. 1t is better to cool the syrup
before adding it to the fruit.
When stretching curtains, especially |
those beginning to show little wear,
put a sheet on the floor and tack the |
most worn curtain down first, using |
bank pins to tack each scallop. Then
hook the other curtains on the same
as on stretchers. This method takes |
much less time. The curtains will be |
straight and of uniform size, as four
curtains can be put down at once and
they viii wear twice as long. Tack
them down; do not pin them, because
when pinning the pins must be re-
moved for each curtain and pinned
back. Bank pins are sold by the
pound in all department stores. They
win not bend in lacking and can be
lsed a number of times.

TO REMOVE FISH oDoR.

One of the exasperating problems a
careful housewife has to deal with is
removing the odor of fish from silver.
Cooking utensils also retain this odor
in a most tenacious way. Washing with
soap and water is Of avail. Here is a
reliable remedy:
Stick knives and forks into a pot Of
fresh earth and let them remain for
about a half hour. If frying pan or
the kettle gives out the fish odor, scat
ter them thickly with fresh earth.

FEW WOMEN KNOW
WHEN TO REST

tt is strange that a woman must
make a great effort to learn how and
when TO rest. 1t comes naturally to
most animals. but the human animal
defes this law from the cradle to the
grave. :,
Sleep is better than medicine, all
agree; and yet woman will take a
tonic or pills or stimulants instead OF
deliberately going to her room after
supper or dinner and going TO sleep.
She win prop her eyes open until 10
o'clock and then strain her aching
nerves and muscles rather than saerl-
fee the evening hours. OF course she
i ALWAYS tired. She is never equal to
the vital occasions.
She always brings half her powers
10 perfect any piece of work. She
Is the woman of a hundred ventures
and one achievement.
She needs sleep and she needs rest,
but she takes company. the theater,
supper party or a trolley ride instead.
Ifen she wonders why other women
dp so much in the world and why she
never has time for anything.
kShe should learn to keep books and
balance her rest and work accounts
every Saturday night. She would be
the richer by it and she would make
all her family the happier.

THE NEWEST SANDWICHES.

If housekeeper has grown tired of
the conventional sandwiches she should
try those made of salmon. They are
most palatable.
The salmon is faxed and moistened
with mayonnaise, and then put as fill
ing between two extra thin slices of
brown bread with the crust cut off.
Sweet sandwiches are also in fashion
for luncheon and after-theater parties.
The newest ones served by clever
housewife have a filing of candied
cherries, chopped fine and moistened
with orange juice.

EGGS AND MUSHROOMS.

Drain one can of mushrooms and
wash them well in cold water; put
them in q stewing pan with two ounces
of butter, one-haif of a teaspoonful of
salt and little white pepper; stand
them over the FIRE until thoroughly
heated. then turn into a shallow bak-
ing dish and break over them sufficient
eggs to cover, being careful to keep
the yolks whole; sprinkle over the top
stale bread crumbs, dust with salt and
pepper and bake in a quick oven for
FIVE minutes. Serve with buttered
toast.

REMOVING ICE CREAM STAINS

If ice cream happens to fall on any
delicate fabric such as crepe de chine
the grease spots must first be removed
by placing between two pieces of blot.
ting paper and applying to them a
warm iron. This should not be so hot
as to destroy the color. After the
grease is extracted, rub with chloro-
FORM and if the color has faded it can
generally be restored by touching
lightly with a weak solution of am
monia and lukewarm water.

CURRANT PUNCH.

Cook three quarts of water and one
cup of sugar together for five minutes
Take from the fire and add two half
pint tumblers of currant jelly, using
the homemade jelly if possible. Add
three lemons and three oranges sliced
as thin as paper and set away to chill.
Serve by pouring over cracked ice in
a punch bowl.

TO REMOVE RUST.

Have a teakettle of boiling water on
the stove; take a garment dry; cut a
lemon in two and squeeze juice on the
spots and hold over the steaming spout
of the kettle. The spots of rust viii
soon yield to the treatment

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1903.
TwlcE.A.wEEK NEWS RECORD.

Beginning with the new year the
News Record vii be published twice
a-week, the first number being dated
Saturday, Jan. 2, 1909. 1t will ap-
pear regularly thereafter on Wednes-
days and Saturdays of each week,
going to press on Tuesday and Fri
day afternoons, as long as the pre- ).
ent mail schedule continues.
In addition to being issued twice
instead of once a week, there are a
number of other changes and, we be-
lieve, improvements, not all of which
can be announced at this time. One,
however, is the addition to the Satur.
day edition of a colored magazine
and comic supplement.
Enterprise is advancing by leaps
and bonds. Probably no town ir
Oregon is growing and improving il
every way more rapidly than th)
capital of Wallowa. Certainly no
own has a brighter future. In max
ing these changes, the News Record
feels it is only keeping pace with
the towl and county. The changes
involve large additional expense,
but we have fait1 that the change
will meet with favor and the patron
age will warrant the venture.
The price of the paper will neces-
sarily be increased, but paid in ad-
vance subscriptions at the present
rate will be accepted until after the
changes go into effect.

NORTH COAST R. R.
RENEWS FILINGS
ENGINEERS AGAIN ON GRANDE
RONDE RIVER BELOW MOUTH
OF WENAHA.

There are persistent rumors that
something will be doing in railways
along the northwest and north border
of Wallowa county in the spring
There is no longer much doubt the
surveys from Walla Walla across
the mountains and down the Wenaha
or Little Salmon river to Troy, while
ostensibly by a Walla Walla trac-
tion company, were really made in
the interest of the North Coast
road. And back of the North Coast
is said to be the Chicago and North
western, the great Vanderbilt prop
erty, with now over 10000 miles of
trackage west of Chicago, gridiron-
ing Wisconsin, Minnesota, the two
Dakotas, Northern Iowa and Nebras-
ka, and extending as far west as
Caspar in central Wyoming.
1t is believed spring will See the
Northwestern building from Caspar
to the headwaters of the Lemhi, in
eastern Idaho, and on across the
state by a water grade route down
the Lemhi and Salmon rivers to the
Snake at or near Eureka in this
county, down the Snake to the
Grande Ronde, and up that river
to the Wenaha, and up that and
across the Blue Mountain divide
at an elevation of 2SOO feet, Civ
ing both the shortest route and
east grade of any transcontinental
railroad.
The North Coast has already the
best pass through the Cascades, and
terminal facilities on Puget Sound
md in Spokane, besides the right of
way nearly across Washington. That
it is laying plans for work east of
the Blue Mountains is proven by its
renewals of filings along the Grande
Ronde as told in the following from
The Asotin Seltilel
Along with the report of a few
days ago that the Hartman system
intend building and completing the
Huntington-Lewiston Snake river line
If railway during the next two years,
the people should not lose sight of
the fact that only about two weeks
ago the North Coast Railway engi-
leers visited Asotin again, and went
On to the Grande Ronde river and
renewed that company's water fill
ngs at two different points on that
stream, that were located and filed
ipon during the early spring, and the
same were placed of record. This
would indicate that things are to
be doing in this locality before long.
Then, also, the completion of the
o. R. & N. line to Enterprise and
Joseph, and the report that the work
is not to stop at that point, leads the
people to suspect that there may be
something doing along the Grande
Ronde river in the nature of railway
activity. Surely the outlook is good
tor this immediate portion of the
great Northwest, and we believe that
1t is not going to be misleading
either"

III Health is More Expensive Than
Any Cure.

This country is now filled with
people who migrate across the con-
tinent in all directions seeking that
which gold cannot buy. Nine tenths
of them are. suffering from throat
and lung trouble or chronic catarrh
resulting from neglected colds, and
spending fortunes vainly trying to
regain lost health. Could every suf-
ferer but undo the past and cure
that first neglected cold. all this
sorrow. pain. anxiety and expense
could have been avoided. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for
its cures of colds, and can always be
depended upon. Use it and the more
serious diseases may be avoided.

NEW YORK, July 9-The stock market
developed reactionary tendencies today.
and during the greater part Of the busi-
ness session prices ruled we'll below yes
'erday's mean levels. At the opening Of
business further gains were established.
hut these gave way quickly under the
weight of the heavy profit realizing sales
which were conducted in practically all
quarters of the market There was little
or nothing in the mornings news OF in
the events of the day which might be
named as accounting for the tendencies OF
the market.
AT the same time il may be noted that
The railway share list has enjoyed four
consecutive days of net advances, willie
The Industrial and miscellaneous stocks
have moved similarly for no less than six
lays. Such protracted advances imply re-
action. il for no other than merely tech

The London stock market was sluggish
and irregular and operations here for for

volume. Tho bank of ISngiand's rate Of
discount was left unchanged. at 2is per
cent. but the banks weekly statement
showed a sharp recovery in the ratio Of
reserves to liabilities. the figures rising
to 1873 per cent. as against Hat per
cent last Week.
The days advices respecting weather
conditions in the west were indecisive, but
further sharp advance took place in
wheat.
Money market conditions showed little
no alteration.
While there was no evidence Of any
change in the political situation, there
appeared to be common disposition to
await some definite news from Denver
