What to Do With Faded Dresses.

In looking over my summer dresses ]
came across several pink and blue linen
and gingham dresses that [ could not
wear because the colors had faded un-
evenly. I wanted some white dresses,
so I began to think of how [ could bleach
these faded dresses white. Here is my
recipe which bleached all my colored
dresses white and proved very satisfac-
tory. Although the dresses won't stand
very much wear afterward, still they
will come out like new. Boil the dresses
in solution of one ounce of chloride
Of lime, a teaspoonful of baking soda
and couple of gallons of water; rinse
very thoroughly in pure water and dry
in the sun. The dresses should not re-
main in the solution long and it should
be renewed as the dye colors the water.

ity of the material. A friend has a
round lunch cloth made of imitation
cluny and linen. The insertion is placed
about it's width from the edge and the
linen cut out after it is stitched, the lace
being sewed on the outer edge. Be sure
and shrink both lace and linen before
making up as she had to make hers all
over because the lace shrunk more than
the linen, causing it to puff. E.

A Good and Inexpensive Cake.

Cream together two othirds of a cup of
sugar and two heap1ng tablespoonfuls
of butter. Add flavor to taste, and
two thirds cupful of sweet milk or wa
ter. Have ready two cupfuls of flour
teaspoonful of baking powder and level
teaspoonful of salt. Stir in half of the
flour and then add two we'll beaten eggs
and the rest of the flour. This may
be baked in plain loaf, in layers to
which are added jelly, frosting or any
other filling preferred, in patty pans for
tea cakes, or it is equally good as
foundation for quick fruit cake which
is made by adding any suitable kind
of fruit to the batter. By adding choco
late to one-third of the dough and drop
ping spoonfuls of it into the pan when
filling with the white portion, a pretty
marble cake can be made.
To make good boiled frosting use
one cupful of sugar to one-half cupful
of water and let it boil until it threads
from the spoon, or will form soft ball
when a little is dropped in glass of
very cold water and then rolled in the
fingers. Have the white of one egg
beaten stiff and pour the hot syrup into
it slowly while an attendant beats it
with the egg-beater. Rub a little flour
over the top of the cake to keep the
frosting from running, and spread the
warm frosting on the cold cake. Any
flavor preferred may be added after the
syrup is beaten into the egg. This makes
very reliable frosting and will not
crackle when the cake is cut unless the
sugar is boiled too long. Some -four
swells more than others so a little vari-
alton may be needed in the amount of
flour needed for the cake. If the cake
seems too dry there is too much flour
in it and less should be used next time.
1t is well to put TIN of water on the
crate over the cake when it is first put
in the oven, as the steam from the hot
water will keep crust from forming
before the cake has risen enough, and so
prevent the top cracking open. This
may not be necessary in an oven that
can be perfectly regulated but is wise
precaution in the average stove. A pa
per cut to fit the bottom and sides of the
cake pan, and long enough to crease
down over the sides, will prevent scorch-
ing and help in taking the cake from the
tin. R. E. Merryman.

To Prepare a Quick Breakfast.

The day before prepare cereal in a
double boiler or other porcelain lined
vessel and let remain so all night. In
the morning heat the cereal, make some
toast and cook some eggs. This, with
fresh fruit is sufficient for a good meal.
Another time for change cook hominy
just little soft, the night before, and
in the morning broil steak
Put the coffee in the coffee pot and
set the table, and there will be little
to do. A handy cook can in this way
get breakfast in twenty minutes.

To Remove Mildew.

The best method to remove mildew
from white goods is to wiring the cloth
out of strong soap-suds and lay on the
grass in the sun. If when dry the mil
dew is not entirely removed, repeat this
method. A black and white shirt waist
which seemed to be ruined has been
made to look like new by doing this, and
the black did not fade. Mrs. G. F. M

Health and Beauty Notes.

To harden the system and to prevent
taking cold easily battle the throat and
chest every morning with cold water.
Dash it on plentifully and then rub Wig
orously with bath towel to bring the
blood to the chest.
During the winter months the tips of
the fingers are likely to give much
trouble, and sometimes they become so
chapped that they crack and leave deep
seams To remedy this the hands must
be kept out of water as much as possi-
BILE, and the fingers should be soaked
every night for ten minutes in a little
warmed olive oil or oil of almonds. Wipe
them and paint the cracks with colo
dion to keep out water Repeat the
treatment till they are healed.
A sharp instrument should never be
used in removing dirt from beneath the
finger nails. Take a toothpick, or bet
ter, use an orange wood stick with a
dull point. If the dirt is obstinate,
dip the point of the stick in cold cream
and insert under the nail. Let the cream
remain for few minutes to soften the
accumulations, and then soak the hands
in warm water for a few minutes be-
fore attempting to finish them.
A raw apple is one of the best sweet
eners of the breath.
After eating onions or other odorous
vegetables, small piece of charcoal
chewed we'll and swallowed will absorb
the flavor and act as cathartic as
we'll.
A cup of black coffee without sugar
is an excellent aid to digestion, if taken
at the close of dinner.
A cup of hot water slipped half hour
before breakfast is great aid in curing
Indigestion, and where one is suffering
from an attack, one should drink as
much of it and just as hot as can be
borne.
After brushing the teeth, wash the
brush we'll with cold water and hang up
where it will dry. At least once week
the brush should be thoroughly washed
with pure soap and water. A piece of
soap should be kept for that purpose
alone.
Use glycerine and lemon juice in equal
proportions to whiten the hands

To Thread Needle Easily.

Gut the thread on the bias with scis-
sors; this does away with the aggravat-
ing small fuzzy strand which you have
to contend with when the thread is bro
ken or bitten off.
This also holds good with darning cot
ton, tape, etc. Try it; it's magical and
saves not only time, but patience.

A report had been circulated that
