Iace Curtains.

Cut strips of strong muslin about
one and one-half inches wide, the de-
sired length of the curtains. Baste
strips to the plain edges of fine cur
tains with long stitch. Pin curtains
into frame the usual way and when
dry the stitches can be easily ripped
(while still on the frame) with sharp
scissors. BY this method the curtain
edges are perfectly straight, thus
avoiding the points always made by
pinning into the edge, The same
strips may be used year after year.

HARD TO PLEASE
Regarding the Morning Cup.

ION, bow hard 1t was to part with
coffee, but the continued trouble with
constipation and belching was such
that finally brought myself to leave
It off.
Then the question was, what
should we use for the morning drink!
Tea was worse for us than coffee;
chocolate and cocoa were soon tired
Of; milk was not liked very well, and
hot water we could not endure.
About two years ago we struck
upon Postum and have never been
without 1t since.
I'VE have seven children. Our
baby, now eighteen months old, would
not take milk, SO we tried Postum,
and found she liked 1t and it agreed
with her perfectly. She is to-day,
and has BEEN one Of the healthiest
babies in the State,

one-third milk and teaspoon Of su-

Easy to Wash Bed Quilt.

Make your quilt in four large
squares and bind each square and sew
them together with over and over
stitch, the same as seams in sheets.
Stitch them across back and forth on
your sewing machine, but leave the
presser foot up--it will run very fast
and you have a quilt made in very
short time. When you wish to wash
them it is very easy to rip out the
stitches and put together again. If
you make them in three or four strips
it will easily pass through the

Suggestion For Fireplace in Summer

Suggestion For Fireplace in Summer
A very pretty way to arrange the
fireplace in summer is to have a car
penter make a box of one-half inch
plank, having it narrow in back and
broader in front to fit the fireplace,
and have the bottom pierced with
holes. Paint dark green and fill
with earth. Plant ferns and arrange
them, having long graceful ones fall
over the hearth and small ones be-
tween. Use green moss to cover the
earth and you will be very pleased
with the ffect.-Mrs. M. A. Capen,

Take pad of cotton rag soaked in
glycerin, and rub the glass all over
inside. Then take piece of clean
dry rag and lightly polish the glass
until the glycerin is invisible, but not
entirely rubbed away. DO this when
the glass is fairly warm and dry, and
you will get brilliant windows, no
condensation and a great saving in
