How to Save a Burned Cake.

When cakes do the most trying thing
TO the baker-burn on the sides and
Dottom-iusiead OF moaning over your
loss. seek TO repair il. Unless the burn
Is deep it will not alter the taste Of the
cake. though perhaps it will be lit
tie drier in consequence. 1t IS so I'M
slightly that it must be covered up at
any cost. Instead of cutting Off the
edges of the cake with knife. as is
usual. try removing the black with a
fine crater. This removes all the dark
er portions and leaves smooth sur
face for icing, Clean. fine sandpaper
can be used in the same way. The
cake must be handled delicately and
not until cold. or it will fall and turn
soggy. Ice on the brown side, and If
burnt on the edges as well as bottom.
particularly In small cakes. cover the
sides as we'll as top with icing.

How to Clean a Gas Stove.

When cleaning your gas steve you
will find that u cloth nniStpntd with
Kerosene oil will remove grease and
dirt more easily than one wrung ont
in soap and water. 1t is essential to
keep the air mixers. or lungs" Of the
stove clean. for If they are cOESed
with bits Of food or dust the fresh air
cannot minge freely with the gas
When the fame burns yellow or red
instead Of bright blue it Is an iAGica-
ton that much heat is being lost for
want of air. A bicycle pump will often
clean out the burners quickly. When
giving the stove thorough cleaning
boil the CRATES and burners in pan
of water in which there is plenty of
washing soda. II a clean newspaper
Is folded to tit the galvanized tray I'M
der the burners 1t will catch great
deal Of refuse The paper may be
removed daily. and such practice will
save much scruLbing of the tray.

Vice Consul ". Washington Bruins
wick furnishes the following infOrma-
ton concerning experiments made in
Chemnitz with a German anti-dust
sprinkler:
During the last summer extensive
experiments we're made with anti
staubit" to prevent dusty roads in
ChemnitZ. The material was bought
by the city from potash works at
Aschersleben and cost $26.1S per met
ric ton Of 22,Oi6 pounds. The anti
:staubit is sprinkled over the road by
nneans of the ordinary street sprinkling
cart. After carefully cleaning the
street and moistening the material
with water it is thus strewn when
first applied. and for each square me-
Ter about one kilo (2.2 pounds per 1O.S
square feet is required. All subse-
quent sprinklng is done with solu~
ton of 90 per cent water. According
TO the experience Of the Chemnitz
street cleaning department. the dust
preventing effect u anti-staubit lasted
from twelve to twenty-four days. ac-
cording to the amount Of traffic and
the general condition Of the streets.

How Upholstered Pieces Can 30 Clean.
Cd by . Simple Method.
It is not always possible to take up.
holstered furniture into the open for a
thorough cleaning and beating. In
cities or where there Is neither yard
nor porch for such work many house.
keepers make this lack an excuse for
letting furniture get into a condition
that would horrify them could they
realize the germs and dirt concealed.
This Is the less excusable as even
heavy tufted furniture can be kept
clean indoors without raising tornado
Of dust.
Here Is a simple plan:
Wiring out of warm water a cloth
that is large enough to cover a large
portion of the furniture. The cloth
should not be linty and should be just
damp and not wet.
Beat the cloth well with a rattan
beaten. When one side has become
dusty the cloth can be turned. Some
times it Will be necessary to use sew
eral cloths on single piece. Continue
until the cloth is not sOiipd The dust
sticks to the wet surface. and the fur
niture is freshened by the treatment
Ii the color of the furniture Is not too
delicate the cloths can be wrung from
hot ammonia water to still further
brighten the covering
1t the heating has not removed dust
from the corners of tufted furniture II
should he attacked with small. stiff
toothbrush. Better yet. two can be
used. first a dry one to get out the
worst OF the dirt and then one just
mOIStened with hot water to act like
the damp cloth
Remember moistening does not mean
wet. Make Il mistake and your furni-
ture is streaked. IoSSibly ruined.
When the upholstery Is clean. rub up
the woodwork with u polish

VALUE OF OLD SHAWLS.

Decorations.

How lIsey Can Be Used For Artistic
Decorations.
The woman who clings to the old
fashioned habit of keeping things"
Is sure to have q shawl somewhere
among her possessions. Shawls went
to the attic and the storerOOm several
decades ago. when their career of
fashion ended.
An artistic arrangement makes Of a
shawl both a wall hanging and a
cover for the top of an upright piano.
Before the shawl Is hung strip Of
strong. dark colored cotton cloth should
be sewed securely along one edge and
loops Of silk cord attached to this
These loops are fastened to picture
hooks. so that the shawl may be sus-
pended from the picture molding with
out the use of tacks.
In a room with a ceiling Of average
height and molding placed at the
usual distance from the ceiling u
sha wi hung In this way will reach
smoothly down to the piano and be
long enough to cover the top with the
border hanging above the music rack.
This is a satisfactory arrangement for
increasing the apparent height of a
low ceiling Above the piano. cover
ing the center of the shawl. which ia
always plain piece Of red or black
or white cashmere. an ivory toned
plaster bas-relief may be hung. A
fra med nhotOpraD nh or an etching will
be equally suitable. but a colored pic
ture must not be used.
All old shawls are entirely too deli
cate to be used as couch covers.
though many of them have come to
their untimeiy end through such usage.
They are too rare and beautiful for
rough handling. They must be look
ed over occasionally as a precaution

A prominent physician who Is an

following suggestions. which those ill.,

valuable:
First go to work; talk afterward.
Make up your mind ut the start what
kind OF road you are going to build
Then when you begin work on the
road give it your full attention.
IL you do this much yourself you
will learn more about how to make
country roads better in two hours than
I could tell you In print in fourteen
weeks. Again. l repeat, 60 to work:
ealk afterward.
The second thing Is study the needs
of the little stretch Of road upon which
you actually do your work. Make that
stretch Of road model Of good road
way in every particular. See to It that
every individual who drives over your
road becomes a talking advertisement
for highway improvement. II you
