ADVICE ABOUT COOKING

Many women. who ought to know
better, throw potatoes in kettle OF
cold water just as soOn as the fire is
made. They do the same with cab
bage and beets, even slicing the latter.
1t is no won Ter that their cooking
tastes as if it were all prepared in
the same saucepan or that the family
suffers from indigestion, but the ma
jority realize that eternal vigilance is
the price of good cooking and take
pride in serving the most simple meal
in the best possible way. To have
the water boiling before pouring over
the vegetables requires no strenuous
effort, but the result is far different.
Potatoes drained as soon as done and
then shaken in the cool air will be
white and mealy. Cabbage to have a
fine, delicate flavor should be cooked
in an open vessel and drained i'm
mediately. Beets should never be cut
as the juice will run out leaving the
tough, hbrous part. Wash, leaving
roots on, boil until tender, plunge in
to cold water an instant, the skins
will then slip off and they are ready
to serve any way you wish. 1t is just
these little things that make a differ
ence in the flavor and nutritious
value of foods. Have a clock where
you can see it, find out about how
long it takes for different things to
cook, then you will know when to
put them on they Will all be done at
the same time without being cooked
to "mush.'

Do farmers eat the proper
sort of food?

The farmer of today buys much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
lis a good thing that this is so because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results IN
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount Of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81

in, let soak at least half hour. Work
it with the hands or with washer.
Put through another. water which
contains some melted soap. Rinse in
water of the same temperature, using
no blue, little soap instead. Do not
wiring. Put on line aud stretch into
shape. Choose a sunny day for the
work. Borax is fine for all kinds of

ABOUT YOUR CURTAINS

Instead of buying cheap lace cur
tains with large flowers in them buy
goods by the yard. Make into cur
tains that come just below the sill.
Plain material with figured paper,
and striped, figured or lowered with
plain walls. Don't forget the color
scheme.

TO WORK BUTTON HOLES

In working button holes in thin fab
RIGS mark their size. sew crOsslength
from one side to the other twice, cut
cloth betW cen, then work as usual. A
much heater and also a more service
able button hole will be the result.

Now the busy house cleaning time

repapering or tinting. Before decld-
ing your color scheme notice the ex-
posture of your rooms bearing in mind
that rooms facing north should be
done in warm yellows with a touch of
brown; east In any colors not too
bright; west, green's and tans; south
gray, blue, cream, and white. Reds
should be used cautiously. Color has

TEN. Experiments were made with
insane people. When put into a red
room they become violent, in blue
room Respondent, in a green room
they become quiet and very we'll be-
haved. Plain paper looks much the
better in the best room generally
speaking. 1t is more restful and
pictures show to better advantage.
However, if you have to use figured,
let the pattern be small, delicate rath-
er than gaudy. Your rooms will look
larger. If the room is low, use strip
ed paper and let it run to the ceiling.
Use a holding or narrow border at
the top. Be careful about putting
enlarged pictures of your people In
the best room. Strangers will be apt
to notice only how homely they are.
Not any really look natural, and If
you loved them it will make you feel
bad to know that the likeness is not
appreciated. Use rather pretty
landscape. There are many calendars
whose picture is we'll worth frame.

ASTRONOMY FOR MAY

Early in May beautiful, blush col
ored star will rise in the N. n. soon
after sunset. This is Vega, the
brightest member of the constellation
Tyre, and one of the four brightest
stars that we see. 1t can be seen
some time during the night through
out the entire year, but is most at
tractive between nine and ten O'Clock
during July and August. 1t will then
be almost directly overhead. Vega
belongs to the sun type and gives
ninety times as much light as our sun.
1t requires twenty nine years for its
light to reach us. There is little
star of the same color revolving
a round it. Owing to what is called
the procession of the equinoXes, Vega
will be the polar star LOCO years from
now. After another period the same
length, our North star will again oc-
cupy the same position it does
now.

view Of state Of trade tomorrow will say:
Gross currents in demand render gen

20 expand. Travellers on the road are
sending in better orders. The outlook for
the future in those lines is optimistic
Retail trade following the activity en-

ufacuriHg industry IS very busily en-
pioyed. with large orders ahead.
Outdoor activities are naturally linz
tied by midwinter weather conditions.
and country roads are in poor shape.
Milder weather has made ii possible for
transportation companies 10 catch up
with the business hitherto delayed by
storms, and there IS less anxiety as to
coal supplies proving sufficient, but there
IS still much congestion at and west of
Chicago. owing TO the blockade Of traffic
caused by earlier bad weather and the
Northwestern switChmen's strike
There are some evidences that a spirit
Of conservatism is being engendered by
the breaks in securities and cotton. the
talk of government prosecutions of al
legged unlawful combinations and the
widespread revolt against high food
prices
Evidences Of this are found in the
hesitation reported in some branches Of
the iron trade and reflection OF the last
mentioned development is had in a very
general reduction Of prices of live
