Prince Aribert put his hands en- the

Aribert looked at Racksole, and they
both looked at Prince Eugep.
The latters face was now flushed, and
Racksole observed that the left pupil
was more dtlated than the right. The
man stared, muttered odd, fragmentary
scraps OF sentences, now grumbling,

To Peel Small Turnips
And Save From Waste

Turnips that are too small to pare
and slice economically before cooking
may be utilized by boiling whole In
their jackets. When. done the skin
may be rubbed off with the hand, the
same as beets. BY this method the
economical housewife is able to use
turnips that otherwise would 60 to
the cattle.
Those who have tried this way with
turnips say that the small turnips are
sweetet and have a better flavor when
so treated than the larger ones cooked
in the usual way.

A Few Helpful Hints
For Use in Kitchens

A little baking soda on a damp cloth
win remove egg stains from spoons
when washing the dishes. If plates are
scraped well and set at once into a
pan filled with hot suds they will be
perfectly clean In few moments.
. Pie pans, layer cake tins, and sauce
rans should never be set away without
rubbing of marks; they last longer and
look better Any of the kitchen pow
ders answer the purpose.

of her brother, Thomas, under the
terms of her will. These heirs are
