Soup-Making Hints

When making soup. chop or crush the bones and cut the meat in small pieces that the nutriment may be more easily extracted Always put the pieces in cold water. If the mixture Is skinned care fully just before the boiling point is reached the scum will not be carried down into the stock. When vegetables are used do not add them until after the boiling point is reached.

A Soap Economy

It is difficult to impress upon people the true economy of buying soap, especially laundry soap, in large quantities and let ting 1t harden well before using. If housekeeper does this, always keeping at least six months supply ahead, she will find that she will use a third less than if the soap is used as it comes from the store

The Iron Glue Pot

Many times the cost of a small iron glue pot could be saved in course of a year were there one at hand in the house for use in mending loosened chair arms and rungs or weak places in pieces of furniture. These pots are like a double boiler, the inner receptacle being for the glue, which is melted by means of the heat from the boiling water in the outer vessel. A stick is more frequently used for applying the mixture than a brush.

The Peripatetic Milliner

q heard the other day. said a clever and practical woman, "of the way that one plucky woman has of earning a living. Perhaps more women than this one are supporting themselves this way, but this particular care came under my observation, and I was struck with it's novelty and practical results.
 You ask what is this especially inter- esting thing that this woman is doing.
 Well, I call her a 'peripatetic milli- ner.' She is a charming and attractive woman, who suddenly found herself com pelled to earn her own livelihood. She had never been a wage-earner and when she discovered that she was up against it., so to speak, she didn't sit down and cry, which would have been most femi- nine, but she quietly gave herself a rigid cross-examination to see if there was any one thing tn she could do better than another. Somehow she centered on her hats. She remembered that they had always elicited admiration, and as they reflected her own taste and nearly al- ways her own handiwork, or arrange ment. she became quite taken with the millinery idea.
 This was her opportunity. She straight way went to her mil1iner and told her she wanted to serve an apprenticeship so as to learn the fundamental principles of building hats As she had always been a good customer, as we'll as most agree able one, the milliner was very kind in giving her some very valuable instruc- tions.
 ''These principles were soon mastered and very soon the new wage-earner had told her friends that she would trim and make hats at their own homes for a consideration.
 "very soon all the time she had was filled with engagements. She is giving

INGRAM NOTES.

Our promise to write for The Times
Promoter still holds good, but an al
most continuous chain of circum-
stances has prevented our making
the attempt ere this. The story once
went the rounds of a fellow who got
tangled in the brush during high
water and prayed, .'I've never trou-
bled you before, and if you will just
help me out of this scrape I'll not
bother you any more" True, I've
never written you before, but will
not promise never to do again, even
should this fail to find place in the
columns of your paper. Before this
happens, however, wish to congrat-
ulate you on your fine success as an
editos. Your field of usefulness is a
broad one. bid you God speed in
your efforts to better the condition of
your town and common country.
According to my way Of thinking,
there is no better agency for better
ing existing conditions in the county
of DeSoto than that of the first-class
local newspaper published in her
bounds. It's respoa oasibilities are great
for it is constant visitor into our
homes and moulder of sentiment
for good or bad, and seeting it is com
passed about with SO great cloud of
witnesses, what manner of persons
ought editors to. Enough along this
line.
Our pastor, Rev. J. w. Rapier,
preached an excellent sermon on
character building at Fountain Head
the fourth Sunday in February and
all who heard him went away feeling
greatly benefited.
We are of the opinion that if we
are getting next to nothing in the
way of public roads with the modern
road machinery and eight mules to
single machine, we would surely get
nothing with two plug mules and al
split log drag.
Mr.. @. M. Downer, formerly of
Lewisburg, who recently moved into
our midst, is wearing broad smile

Tennessee's prohibition is not trou-
bling us in the least. We believe the

THE STORY.

IT was in the long. long ago, when the
4 good King David ruled in the land
of Israel, and the Jews had become a
mighty nation, possessing wealth and
safety at home and holding the fear
and the homage of the nations far and
near. In accordance with the custom
of those days the magnificence and
the power and the glory of the kingly
office was indicated by the number
of women of the royal household, and
David the king had number of
wives, and at the period of our story
there was none more beautiful, or one
who enjoyed the kingly favor to such
degree as the fair Bathsheba.
She 1t was Who dwelt in the most
beautiful of the palaces She it was
who enjoyed daily communion with
the king. and shared with him i'm the
