Hints.
HOT COFFEE FOR OUTINGS.

HOT COFFEE FOR OUTINGS.
The greatest luxury, as we'll as the
most difficult thing to obtain is hot
coffee for luncheon in the park or the
woods. Make, and season as desired,
the coffee at home, and while boiling
hot put into q can or jar or pail that
can be securely sealed use milk bot
ties, standing them In hot water while
pouring in the coffee, and sealing them
with the little paper covers used by the
milkmen. Wrap the bottles tightly,
while they are still boiling hot, in several
thicknesses of wooden cloth, then In
newspapers, and tie closely. 1t Is on
the same principle as the fireiess cooker,
and the more closely it is packed the
better the heat Is preserved.
wARDRoBEs UNDER THE BED.
In a small house where there are no
closets or other places enough to
put away things, my husband has made
two boxes to fit exactly under the iron
beds; each box has two handles like q
bureau drawer; and the effect is that of
two drawers under the side OF the beds.
The top of the box is in three sections,
the back section being stationary, the
other two having hinges; the boxes can
be pulled out one-third of the way and
the first section of the top opened, or 1t
can be pulled out two-thirds Of the way,
and the front section of the top folded
back on the other section, which Is
opened, giving access to the back of the
box.
The boxes are stained and finished
like woodwork In the rooms, and look
we'll besides being the most convenient
kind Of wardrobes. They are fitted with
small glass slides or casters, and are
easy to pull out and push back again.
FRAME ON WHICH TO COOL CAKE.
A handy thing to have in the kitchen
is q frame upon which to cool cake.
The frame can be made as large as the
maker chooses to have It. Stretched
across and fitted tightly to 1t there
should be wire netting, and at each
corner small support should be placed,
to raise the frame q couple Of inches
from the table.

ANNOUNCES HIMSELF IN FA 'z"s.ss; s:s
OF PRACTICABLE PROJECT
WOMAN With
Her THROAT CUT
WILL SURVIVE
(By Associated Press J

LOS ANGELES, Oct. Mrs.
George Staehle, whose throat was
cut Sunday night while she was
asleep in her bed at her home at
SIS Gladys avenue, is said today 10
be in such a critical condition that
her death is probable.
Detectives Murray and McCann
today went to the Westlake hospital
where Mrs. Staehle is a patient, TO
obtain further information from her
regarding her assailant.
They found her very weak and
unable to converse. They were di-
ricted from the room by the doctor,
who regards the condition of Mrs.
Staehle as being too serious to per-
nit her even to try to talk.
Mr.. Staehle is accorded the privi-
lege of sitting in the room with his
wife at stated intervals, but ever
he is not allowed conversation. He
told the detectives, however, that
she had talked little yesterday and
despite the deep wound in her neck
was able to enunciate distinctly.
Mrs. Laura A. Sim, the neighbor
who has been in custody at the po-
lice station for two days, subject to
inquiry, probably will be held an
indefinite period.
