What Women Want to Know.

Never keep the toothpicks on the
table. Have them handy and in sight,
where they can easily be found with
out asking for them.
Cocoa butter will make the skin
yellow, and if used on the face and
hands should afterwards be washed
with water containing lemon juice.
Cut cucumbers into cubes, let the
pieces dry, then soak in water and use
the liquid to whiten the skin.
A good dentifrice is baking soda
mixed with powdered camphor, or
soda and powdered cinnamon, just
enough of the latter to make a pleas
ant taste in the mouth.
Biting the nails is almost a sure
sign of nervousness and there is a
grave trouble ahead unless the dis
ease is corrected. 1t is very wrong to
slap or punish a child in any manner
for this fault, for in practically every
case doctors have discovered nervous
ness bordering or nervous collopse,
st. Vitus' disease and even locomoter
attaxia. Youth no proof against dis
ease.

VOCATION FOR GIRLS.
Advertising Offers Lucrative Field
for the Woman Of Ambition.

In discussing the question After
College Days, What?" in The Delin-
Gator Ruth Cranston suggests ad-
vertising as vocation for the girl
who desires a business career. She
says: Advertising is field for the
college girl who has had experience
in writing limericks, couplets and
catchy little verses during her COZ
lege career. Writing lads" is a fas.
cinating business for one who has
ideas, ingenuity and patience. One
woman earns FIVE thousand a year
in this way, but the average salary
of the advertising clerk of an estab-
lishment is from fifteen hundred dol
lars to two thousand dollars.
Perhaps the big department store
offers the most interesting field for
the "ad" writer's genius. Certain
ly it offers an infinite deal of work
and demands wide knowledge both
of the business and of human nature.
But the clever advertising manager
of big store may make herself in
dispensable to the firm and thus Sc
cure an assured position and an ex-
cellent salary. There are many
branches of this work for which wo-
men are fitted; the main thing is to
get an opening with some firm and
then through originality and strict
attention to business, to push the
interests of the employer by the clev-
crest work of which she is capable.
A good way of forcing ones work
upon the attention of a large con-
Germ is by submitting to them adver-
tisements of their business. This
brings the writer into contact with
the employer and prepares the way
for further negotiations. This is an
honorable business, and one which
frequently brings fame as well as
high salary to the women engaged
in it.

About Bread and Flour.

Soda may be used in bread TO pre-
vent its souring without lessening it's
food value.
Yeast is a minute fungus which
grows in nutritiye material when it
is in a state of moisture.
Marcaroni and spaghetti are made
by mixing hard wheat -four and hot
water into a stiff paste, which is then
nodded and dried.
Hard wheat yields large amount
of gluten, soft wheat yields less glut-
en- and more starch. Hard wheat
flOurs hold a larger amount of water
than soft wheat fiours, and they there
fore make a larger loaf.
Flour in the United States is seldom
adulterated.
After baking, bread should be
placed on Stats or sieves so that the
air can circulate about it. This makes
crisp crust. Wrapping a steaming
loaf in a towel, as is usually done,
makes the bread damp and clammy,
and subject to mold.
To test good -four note its color
1t should be white, with a faint yell
low tinge. If pressed in the hand, it
should fall loosely apart; if it stays
in Jumps, II has too much moisture
in 1t. 1t should not feel too smooth
between the fingers, but rather in
rough particles. Flour SHOULD have
sweet, nutty favor.

MAKING SANDWICHES.

The housewife who learns the art
OF making sandwiches is always well
fortified against problems when serv-
ing an informal luncheon to guests.
Close-grained bread should be used,
for coarse bread Will crumble. And
bread baked in round tins is prefer
able to that cut into slices and cut
with a biscuit cutter, since the baked
edges preserve the shape. Very moist
nllings should be laid between lettuce
leaves, and by buttering the bread the
moisture can not penetrate it, making
it soggy. Melted butter can be used,
II 1t is not soft enough to spread. A
salmon sandwich is a tempting arti-
Gle of food and should be half mixed
with chopped boiled egg and very
thin slices of olives and pickles. The
wise hostess will make two different
kinds of sandwiches, some with the
mixture moistened with vinegar or
lemon juice, others without, for many
persons can not eat acids. Practically
all meat sandwiches are extremely
rich and strong condiments are no.
ticeable in the filling, especially mus
tard and catsup. While white meat
makes a delicate sandwich, yet the
darker meats, mixed with mayonnaise
and other relishes, are more appetiz-
Ing in every way. When hot sand
wiches are served at a MONDAY lunch
con at home. the contents of the sand
Wiches are placed between the layers
OF bread and fried, or the bread is
toasted and covered with a cooked
meat filing, then covered with but
tered toast and served hot. Peanuts
mixed with mayonnaise and sliced
egg make a good sandwich. They
make fruit sandwich which is we'll
liked by those who are very fond Of
fruit and bread. The filing consists
OF chopped dates, figs, lemon juice
and ground nuts, lightly mixed with
tart jelly. The bread is buttered for
this. Candied fruits are often used,
but often the sandwich Is a bread
cake, more of the angel food cake
variety, filed with fruits and moisten-
ed with cherry juice or the liquor
from preserved pineapple or peaches.

Household Notes.

Deviled eggs are ofttimes filed with
French peas, small pieces of sweet
pickle, olives and the yolk of the egg
softened with butter and hot vinegar
The peas are not mashed into the egg
1t makes a delicious egg salad to be
served on crisp lettuce leaves.
To quickly prepare eocoanut OF
horseradish, pare for seraping and les
sen the task and the usual crying
when grating the hoTseradish, by run
ming the foods through the chopping
machine. All hard and fbrous pieces
of horseradish should be pared before
running the roots through the ma
chine.
When scraping new potatoes they
will invariably blacken the hands.
There is nothing better than piece
of lemon for removing the blemish,
and when obstinate, If a pinch OF
powdered pumiee is placed on the
lemon, it will instantly remove the
stain.
Be careful where you place your
dressing table and mirrors. Sunlight
will destroy the finest bevel French
plate, and II Is impossible 10 restore
the backing without considerable ex-
penss. Dampness viii destroy ii in
the same manner.

SELECTING LINENS.


It matters not how fine or how
humble is the first little home, the
bride naturally wants dainty linen
for the dining room and her beds. It
seems to be natural pride, dating
back ever and ever so long ago when
grandmothers planted the fax, gath
cred it and spun the cloth for these
very articles. No bride of that period
ever went to her new home without
these luxuries, but of course today the
articles until necessity demands them,
then the eager search for what Is
best Perhaps a young woman had
best take an experienced person with
her when shopping, for the uninitiated
Is liable to purchase something just
as good" paying the price of the very
best There are some absolutely new
designs in damask table covers and
napkins. A beautiful one has the
snow drop center, with garlands of
out of straight lines, and we see
square table covers with baskets OF
flowers in the corner, a departure
from more conventional patterns.
Medallions, the horn of plenty, cupids,
grapes and the like have taken the
place of smaller figures, The Cupid
table covers are quaint and pretty
and this is one case where Cupid can
''be laid out fat if harmony is not
the best in the sacred precincts of
bride would not have her ideals so
quickly shattered if she could gaze
on the little god of love while Jack
roasted the first breakfast o.
oranges, lithia water and unnamable
hot cakes. For luncheons and all in
formal dinners, the doilies are round.
These doilies come in different sizes
and are to be used on the highly pol
fshed tables. They are expensive lit
tie trifles to launder, but most women
do the work themselves. / once
heard a woman make the remark that
she would have died Of loneliness the
first year if she had not had super
abundance of chair tides to wash and
iron to kill time until her husband
returned from work. English en-
broidery, combined with eyelet, fash
ions some of the extravagant luxuries
for the dining table.
Bed linen can be bought ready for
use, and it is really as cheap if one
must. hire the sewing done. Sheets
have rows Of lace and hemstitching,
and some of the very finest are even
ruffied,. that is, the upper one, but
this seems a bit superfluous even for
good taste. Of course, the pillow
cases match the upper sheet and show
the deep scalloped edge. charming
bed cover is the pineapple spread,
soft null with a pineapple design,
a beading of lace through which rib
bon is run and very dainty flounce.
A touch of lace is always permissible,
but it must be exceptionally good.

For Acid stomachs.

Acidity of the stomach is one OF
the most distressing of humanity's
minor complaints.
1t may be caused by poor teeth and
imperfect mastication of food, by
rapid eating which produces the same
result, by overeating or by food which
is not wholesome.
The remedy for most of these con-
ditions is quite within the power of
the victim Eat slowly, eat sparlngly,
and use only perfect food which has
been well cooked.
Avoid eating fats, cakes and can
dies all at one meal.
Soda is most universally used
for this trouble. but it liable to pro-
duce disagreeable effects if it's use is
continued.
1t is said that a slice of lemon in
hot water, or teaspoonful of vinegar
in a wineglassful of hot water will
effect a cure If used persistently, and
without any unpleasant results.

Third Avenue Railway, vice president
of the academy, presided.
ON almost all of the hearings be
fore the committees of congress con
sidering the tariff the consumers
have not been represented" said
| Mr.. Wheeler. at is well that an in
fuential association like yours
should espouse their cause. 1t is in
the little additions to. the cost of liv'

on the poor girls who earn less than
So a week that make the difference
between comparative comfort and
positive privation.
Take sugar for example. The in
crease in the price of this important
article due to the proposed tariff,
would be SO for a family of six. We
can afford it, but how about the poor
man? The same principle Of judg-
ment is applicable to gloves, stock
ings, collars and cuffs, cotton and
woolen goods. Notwithstanding the
dullness of business and trade in the
past year, the cost of nearly all ne
cessaries of life has gone up. The
cost of living has increased and now
the tariff is to make it even higher.
The pretense that the American
workman is not able to compete with
the foreign workman without the
aid of prohibitory tariff, is prepos-
terous"
Byron w. Holt, chairman of the
Tariff Reform Committee of the Re-
form club, declared that in order to
spread the gospel of protection
throughout the country the rich men
who benefit by high tariff have made
it heresy for a college professor to
free trade ideas in public.
For years our colleges were out of
harmony and touch with our political
said Mr.. Holt "The sell
fish protected interests established
and maintained harmony by retiring
some professors, by pensioning 9TH
ers, and by more careful selection
of instructors. Outspoken free-trad-
ers have been for years practically
debarred from positions as teachers"
