The development of the Brazilian
Amazon valley must in time amount
to untold wealth. In the states of
Para and the Amazonas and the fed
eral territory of Acre there are near
the waters edge 100000 rubber
bearing trees of the Hevea variety.
These trees if properly tapped will
live indefinitely and steadily increase
their yield. The state of Para is con-
siderably larger than Texas, and much
of it will grow excellent cotton.

Green Corn Eritters.

Green corn fritters are one Of the
delectable dainties of this season. Use
either cold boiled or uncooked corn,
grating it from the ears and making
it into an ordinary griddle-cake bat
ter. Fry on a griddle and serve very
hot. One recipe calls for two cupfuls
of grated corn, half cupful of milk,
a tablespoonful of flour, an egg, a lit
tie salt and a teaspoonful of baking
powder. The egg may be omitted and
another tablespoonful of flour used.
More milk or water may be used if
the batter is too stiff. Knives come

COMBINING LACE AND BEADING
Slight CareIessness or Lack of Prepar-
alton Sufficient to Mar the
Result.

When lace and beading are to be
sewed to thin materials, such as mus
lin dresses or underwear of any kind,
it must be carefully and thoroughly
done to produce good results. Lace
edging nearly always has a stout
thread in the selvedge which serves
admirably as gathering thread. Pull
this thread and stroke the gathers to
make them even. Roll the edge of the
material and. holding the lace and
edge together with the thumb and fore
finger of the lett hand. with the lace
nearest you, overcast the two together
with firm even stitches. When sewed
to straight edge insertion can be
sewed in exactly the same manner, but
to let insertion in, to form a design.
first haste the material on the right
hide to form the desired design. and
hem it down on both edges. Cut the
material from underneath the inser-
ton, leaving narrow strip on each
side of the insertion. Crease this
strip back from the insertion toward
the material and turn as for a hem.
Overland this, taking stitches close to
the line OF the hemming.

Healthy Girls.

1t is not longer fashionable with the
fair sex to feign delicacy, nor are the
girls of the coming generation actual
ed by an insane desire to appear frag-
lie and genteel. at the expense of
health. The scores of buxom, bright
eyed young ladies one will meet in any
of our public thoroughfares any after.
noon is ample evidence of the truth OF
the assertion, says Womans Life. No
longer do the fair ones seem wan and
pale to look upon, nor is their style of
locomotion suggestive of effort: but,
on the contrary, nearly all seem strong
and 1.-THE of limb, and with cheeks suf-
fused with the rudy glow of health.

far less sickness among the sex than
had formerly been the case, and this

SERVING TABLE A GREAT HELP
Most of Them Contain Tray That Can
Be Lifted Out and Save One
Many Steps.

The woman who does her own work,
yet wishes her table daintily served,
must either detail one OF the family
as waitress or must depend upon a
serving table close at hand.
Any table can be used for this pur-
pose. but very convenient is one on
wheels, that can easily be moved from
kitchen to dining room, heaped with
everything needed for serving.
These tables can be bought in con-
venient form, some with single tray,
others with a shelf beneath, on which
can quietly be placed soiled dishes
at the end of course They are light,
easily handled, with neat japanned
finish, and can be either square or
triangular in shape.
Most of them are finished with re-
movable tray that can be lifted to the
sink and save many steps. Plain linen
dollies can be made to fit the top of
each tray to make it more attractive
when used during a meal.

PRODUCED AT HOME
NECESSITIES THAT CAN BE MADE
IN THE HOUSE.
Baking Powder Is Made of Bicarbon'
ate of Soda, Cream of Tartar and
Corn Starch-Recipes for Pol
ish, Soap, Etc.

The housekeeper who objects to COM
mercial baking powder can easily
make her own. Get one-half pound of
the best bicarbonate of soda, one pound
of cream of tartar and one-half pound
of the best corn starch. Mix thorough
ly, sift three times and put up in small
covered tins. This is the purest bak-
ing powder that can be made.
A homemade tooth powder is made
of seven ounces of precipitated chalk,
three ounces of bicarbonate of soda,
two ounces of powdered CASTLE soap
and 80 drops each of oils OF winter
green and sassafras. Sift all togeth-
er and keep in glass preserving jar.
This powder is both cleansing and
hardening to the enamel of the teeth.
A polish for stained wood floors Is
made of eight ounces of yellow bees
wax, two quarts OF spirits of turpen-
tine and one quart of Venetian tur-
pentine. Cut the wax in small bits
and pour the spirits over it. When
dissolved, as will soon happen, bottle.

the polish and apply it with a soft
cloth
An excellent hard soap for the laun-
dry is composed of these things: Five
pounds of clean grease, one can of pot,
ash. one heaping tablespoonful OF
borax, two tablespoonfuls of ammonia
and one quart and cup of cold water
Dissolve the potash in the water, then
add the borax and ammonia, and slow
ly stir in the grease, melted and luke
warm. and continue stirring until the
mess thickens; then pour it into a pan
to harden, and when firm enough cut
it into cakes.
Grease which is unfit for frying can
be used for this soap, but it must be
strained carefully to get out all par
ticles of food. The provinces Of old
grease is no objection, for the soap Is
white when made. 1t must be kept
a month before using.

FASHION EASY TO FOLLOW
Additions in Dress Accessories That
Are Well Within the Reach
of All.

There Is late fancy among some
Partisan costumers for making the
belts of the more elaborate gowns Of
a color in contrast TO the whole color
scheme of the garment.
This girdle, though differing in its
tone, is Of like material, and is mere
ly new touch-a little oddity-and
more evident because of the attention
bestowed on the waist line at present.
A dinner gown of sapphire blue,
trimmed with crystal embroidery, is
given an old rose girdle, and the com.
bination could win its way anywhere,
so knowing and artistic was the choice
of shades.
Not in years has there been a sea-
son when small accessories could add
so Iluch to the general style OF a cos
tune as do the neck and wrist frills
worn with the tailor-made suits of
every color. design and material. Such
frills may be developed Of wide lace.
