HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Little Things Of More or Less Impor

In the Household.

There is way OF broiling that Is

ployed where there are no Goals, as in
cooking with gas, gasoline or an oil
stove, or by electricity 1t is done on

When carefully done it has almost the
flavor of steaks or chops cooked over
the Goals, although not quite equal.
II loaf of bread has become stale.
hold 1t under water for one second;
then place in a brisk oven for quar-
ter of an hour. !. 1t will taste like new
bread.
To mend an umbrella take a small
piece of black sticking plaster and
soak it in water until quite soft. Place
this carefully under the hole inside,
and let dry. This will be found to
be better than darning, as it closes
the hole neatly without stitches.
When you are ironing any dark me-
terial do not put linen cloth under
meath, as the lint will come off on the
stuff and you will have great difficulty
in brushing it off again.
Wash white silk gloves at night in
warm suds, rinse we'll and dry. Dry
Ing them in daylight causes them to
turn yellow.
Don't fill saucepan which has
been burned with soda water. for
though this will remove the burned
food it will make the saucepan liable
to burn again when next it is used.
Instead of soda water fill the sauce
pan with salt and water and leave till
next day, then slowly bring it to the
boil. In this way the burned particles
OF food will come off and the cleaning
of the saucepan will cause no bad
after effects.

BE Practical.

One of the first requisites for the
sewing room is a long counter on
which to cut and that household which
Is not overburdened with tables should
count itself lucky. Here lies the
chance to supply long, plain wooden
counter for the family cutter.
All work in the sewing room, wheth-
er it be that of the merest amateur
or the heavy professional, is rendered
far more rapid and accurate if the
material be not allowed to slip from
the table every few moments.
Men do not work without proper
implements; yet it would seem a COM
mon habit with even the most sys-
tematic women to "scrfmp along some
how" Don't do it.

Bad Roads.

There is a matter that makes bad
roads factor of loss. That Is in the
sale of the farm. A farm ten miles
out on a road impossible for five
months in a year has five-twelfths of
its usefulness impaired, and Is GER
tainly worthy of 33 1-3 per cent. in.
trinsically less than it should be were
the roads not so bad. Bad roads are
a deterrent to settlement, thus dri-
Ting an additional value away from
farm land due to increasing popula-
ton. They act as repellent force
TO drive the boys and girls and de-
sirable citizens from farm life. Bad
roads tend to pessimism, to unhap-
piness and make an added argument
for those. who would contend that
marriage is a failure and life not
worth living.

SAFEGUARD AGAINST Moths.

Moths dislike turpentine. 1t is,
therefore, a good plan, when storing
books or clothes to put with them
several small pieces of paper or rag
which have been saturated in turpen-
tine. Leave them for day or two,
and then remove, but the smell will
still remain. This process should be
repeated two or three times during
the course of the year and will be
found a simple and efficacious remedy
against the ravages of these tiresome
Insects.

Not that this was the case with all of the company. In Edgar Jones as stephen Ghent Ina Brooks as Ruth Jordan, and A. Will lard Grass as Phillip Jordan, the au- dience saw three characters well pDs trayed. This was especially so in the case of the first two mentioned, who took the leads. Except in rare in stances. however. the rest of the cast proved weak. The story Is that of a william and a hero in one. who. buy. ing the woman he makes his wife from rufiians. proceeds to work for her and make her wealthy. while she sfespises him.

STEWARDS OF THE GRAND CIR CUT HOLD ANNUAL CONFER ENcE IN DETROIT.

DETROIT, Jan. 1.-The stewards of the Grand Circuit assembled here today for the first annual meeting they have held outside of New York city in many years. The business of the meeting is the assignment of duties and the making of other arrangements for the coming racing season. Owing to the conditions that have surround ed the racing game for more than a year past more than ordinary interest centers in the meeting.
 Though last year was a very unsat- isfactory one for the Grand Circuit especially the eastern meetings. it is not believed there will be many changes in the circuit for next sea son. ReadvilIe and Hartford, in the east, and Detroit, Syracuse. Cleveland, Columbus and Kalamazoo are regard. ed as fixtures. There is talk that Buffalo may be dropped and that Poughkeepsie may be refused read mittance. In the latter event one of the metropolitan tracks. possibly Brighton Beach. may be taken in. Bal timore is expected to make applied ton for dates, but is likely to be turned down. Grand Rapids and Terre Haute, it is understood. would also like 10 try their luck in the big cir cult if the necessary arrangements could be made.
