HOUSEHOLD NOTES
BY Maude E. cilIey.

Linens require a long soaking to re-
move any stain.
French chalk will clean a slightly
soiled white chip hat
Peach stains are removed with a
weak solution of chloride Of lime.
Turpentine will he found very good
for cleaning an enamel or porcelain
tub
Buttering bread or cracker on which
cheese is to be toasted improves the
flavor.
The addition of pinch of salt to the
coffee improves it greatly to some
tastes.
Spreading a little -four on top Of a
cake will sometimes prevent icing from
running.
Mix grated horse radish with lemon
Juice: it will be found a pleasing
change from vinegar.
Vegetables for salad must be dry, or
the dressing does not amalganate, and
It loses its flavor.
When using melted cheese on sand
.wiches. remember to melt it in a hot
oven and serve Immediately.
To clean an oil paiting, rub a fresh
ly cut slice of potato. dampened in
cold water, over the surface.
The most obstinate coffee stains can
he removed by a solution Of lukewarm
water and the yoke Of an egg.
Pure alcohol can be used with Won
derful success as a means of cleaning
black Spanish ,or Chantilly lace
Feathers that have grown grimy can
be given a bath in alcohol. after which
they are shaken until dry.
A weak solution Of oXalic acid, used
for stained fingers, is good. For minor
stains. lemon juice is helpful.
If brass candle sticks are disigured
with verdigris. try rubbing them off
with a cloth dipped in ammonia.
When next making fudge, add some
chopped raisins and nuts to the syrup
just before be~'nnig to beat il.
A spoonful OF oxgall TO a gallon of
water will set" almost any colored
fabric If soaked in its before wash
ing.
For white spots on the nails. a so
luton Of turpentine and myrrh in
equal portions is an excellent remedy
The addition of little sugar to the
water in which turnips arc boiled will
improve the flavor of the vegetable.

Rioe cnstard-

A good way to use up leftover rice
is in rice custard. To two cupfuls of
boiled rice allow scant quart of
milk, four well-beaten egg yolks. a
cupful of sugar and a fourth Of a cup
full Of butter.
Mix all thoroughly, and bake in a
slow oven. The pudding may be
favored in way desired.
Grated lemon rind is very good.
A meringue may cover the top of the
custard-or custards if it is baked in
individual molds-and should be brown
ed in the oven. To make IL still more
festive layer of jam may be spread
over the pudding before adding the
meringue.

DETROIT GIRL GIVES
IDEA OF SUFFRAGE

NDEfN VI OF FNfNA-
A high school girl in Detroit has
written. in good faith. the following
compositions
Woman suffrage is that form of
government that creates a confusion
in some of the larger cities of the
world. AS in London, the women are
continually being arrested for their
revolutionary habits. The women in
those parties are either rich or seek
advertising through the papers or have
some personal grudge against the gov
ernment.
ANY government should pass ordi-
nay ces that no woman should hold "A
Tolitical position, as this is detrimen-
tai TO her and helps to make her
masculine. This doesn't mean she can
not be interested. but merely that she
must not hang around in public places
where men swear, make and do nu-
merous other disagreeable acts. The
place for women is in the home. and
there to make it cozy and happy for
meE. their husbands, Who do hold po-
litical positions"
