VARIETY FOR suBuRBANIrEs

Whether the suburbanite is a poultry
keeper on a small lot, has a neat little
income bearing farm, or is fortunate
enough to own country estate, he
cannot choose a better fowl for his
purpose than the White Orpington.
Where quarters are very limited these
birds will make fine profits. They are
easily contented if they are given a
scratching shed to work in for their
feeds of cracked and whole grains, and
some bits of green food are grown in
their yards where they can get to it
occasionally. Better table poultry than
that afforded by the White Orpington
cannot be grown in limited space.
have shown that under all conditions
they are easily the peer of layers. They
will not disappoint their keepers no
matter where located. If a fowl is
wanted for private estates and gem
tlemen's country places, the White Or
pingtons will make the best possible
use of the time and money and care
put into them. Many an estate is
sending to it's town house the very best
of poultry and eggs for table pur-
poses, and in this capacity the White
Orpingtons are in a class by them
selves. Their lordly carriage and de-
pertinent, the purity of their suits of
feathers have much to do with the
beauty of any country place. Then
there is the sport of the poultry ex-
hibition showing which no true outdoor
man would miss.

THE HoME-BuILDER

Any home builder. entering upon a
building project for the first time, is
not fully alive to the need of good
business methods and habits In his
dealings with architect and contractor.
There are many occasions when misun-
derstandings arise which may be avoid
ed through very simple means. The
most frequent cause of trouble is due
to the fact that Instructions are given
verbally by the owner to the architect
over the telephone or IN Office CONVEX
sations. If instructions could always
be in writing and the owner retain
copy, the chance of trouble would be
reduced to a minimum. For women,
this requirement would be not only
irksome but often impossible of fulfill
ment The best way to proceed, in case
the owner finds it impossible to keep
record of his instructions, Is to always
request the architect to confirm a tel
ephone message, a conversation or even
a written communication by letter as
soon as possible after receipt of in
structions. This increases the work
for the architect. but he would gen
erally prefer to add to his labors II by
so doing he can feel in perfect accord
with his client and place himself on
record regarding his understanding OF
his clients wishes. Sometimes a client
is disappointed because a certain hnlsn
or q color is not what he expected
There is one good way to guard against
this difficulty and that is for the owner
to request samples and to sign his
name on those he wishes to have fol-
lowed. If the finished result is not like
the sample the contractor will be

REMOVING PAINT oDoRs

The vapor of turpentine being
poison and affecting some persons who
are sensitive to it's effects unfavorably,
it is well to be careful in regard to 1t.
A very sensible precaution during the
painting season for those to take VINO
are compelled to endure the nuisance
is to leave bowls of water in the fresh
ly painted rooms. Some, at any rate,
of the paint emanations are thus alb
sorbed, as will be seen by the oily film
on the surface of the water so exposed.
An even more powerful absorbent Is
fresh milk which reduces the smell OF
paint in a room in a remarkable way.
The poisonous effect of paint emana-
tions do not appear to be connected in
any way with the lead contained in the
paint, the collie of painters being due
to the actual contact of the person
with the substance of the paint.-The
Lancet.

IN THE ICE BOX

Fish, corned beef, roast meat, high
ly seasoned left-overs and so on re-
quire to be covered with a damp cloth,
but fruit keeps better covered with
paraffin paper.
1t requires quite a set of different
sized napkins for this purpose; use

ing.
Lettuce bags, too, are a speciality,
made from old table linen, with the
name worked on it. Cheesecloth may
be used, but it will not keep damp SO

once in the bag that has been dipped

A FEW HOME ECONOMIES

Use left over grease for soap max

save 1t until you have enough TO use
for this purpose.
Make your own baking powder. Two
parts cream of tartar, one part baking
soda. one part cornstarch; slit to-
gether ten times. This Is just as good
and cheaper than the high priced bak-
ing powders. NJ
Use the despised left overs. Put
bones into the stock pot. use lett over
meat for croquettes or timbales; even
well made hash is not to be despised
II is more trouble, but it will pay.
If you have fruit growing on the
place or can buy it cheaply put up
plenty for winter use. Even In Los
Angeles 1t will save when fruit ana

AN OUTSIDE DINING ROOM

If you have no secluded porch large
enough for a dining room, no much
priced pergola, you surely nave some
little arbor that may be screened from
the street by shrubbery.
You must have a table that can be
LEFT to the weather despite the morn
ing and evening dews, chance fogs or
rain or sun.
Saw horses may be used for legs
with smooth boards lai dacross them
The whole may be stained garden
green or left to weather. This makes
a solid table that can be taken apart
at a moments notice. Use chairs that
can also brave the weather.
The great beauty of such room Is
taht it Is always ready for use with
no permanent table and chairs. If a
dining room has to be constructed ev-
cry time 1t is wanted it will not often
be called itno requisition, but such q
one as I have described is source of
perennial delight to the whole fam
lily.
