MAKING SOUP WITHOUT SCUM
Nearly Every Woman Spells Soup by
Putting Meat on in Cold
Water.

It is not generally known that
meat, properly boiled, yields no
"scum" whatever. Scum" is pro-
duced only when the meat is put on
the stove in cold water Nearly every
woman spoils the soup in that way.
Only a few French cooks from the
old country know how to produce
good, clean soup without the slight
est appearance of scum" They al
ways put the bone or meat into boil
ing hot water, This method prevents
the escape of the most nutritious part
of the meat-the albumen, or, as it
is called, the white of the egg. Break
an egg in hot water and it peaches;
break 1t in cold water, allowing it to
come to boil, and you have-no
egg-only scum" Scum" in fried
meat is the best part of the gravy
you never throw it away. Try hot
water, and you will have clean,
healthy soup and no scum"

10 KEEP KNIVES BRIGHT
~ Care Is Not Taken in Storing Them
They Easily Become
Rusty.

Every one does not happen to pos
sess a case of cutlery, but most peo-
pie like to keep a second set Of knives
and forks for special occasions. II
care Is not taken in storing them
they easily become rusty, and the
ivory OF the handles turns bad
color.
A simple little case, which allows
each knife, big or small, to be kept
separate from its neighbor, can be
easily made at home out Of broad
piece Of flannel, serge or green baize.
Cut the cloth about two feet long,
bind the two sides with braid to
match the color OF the material and
double one side over lengthways till
the edge reaches to within few
inches of the other edge. Machine
stitch up the two siles and bind them
with braid. Then stitch down the
double part at equal distances, allow
ing sufficient space between each row
for inserting knife. In this way
you can store any number, and you
will find they will keep in perfect con-
dition. The case can be rolled up
and packed away in little space.

FOR COUNTRYWIDE EFFORT
Foes Of tuberculosis Have Plan to
Use Most Powerful Weapon
on Earth.

April 30 has been set aside this year
as tuberculosis Day" and will be OBJ
served in a manner similar to that
Of Tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910,
when 10000 sermons were preached
on the prevention of tuberculosis. In
the first official announcement OF the
occasion, made by the national assoc
citation for the Study and Prevention
OF tuberculosis, the leaders OF the
movement state that they hope to en-
list all OF the 33,OOO.000 church mem
bers in country
In one respect tuberculosis day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday OF
1910. Instead Of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause special Sunday service, the
national association is going to ask
this year that meetings. at which the
subject Of tuberculosis and its pre-
vention can be discussed, be held on
Sunday, April 80, or on any other day
near that date, either in the week
preceding or the week. following.
What we went" says Mr. Living
ston Farrand, executive secretary Of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, in a
report ON this movement, is to have
this whole subject of tuberculosis dis
cussed in all of the 100000 churches
of the United States at as nearly the
same time as possible"

on those whom they wish to honor
Il is formed OF wrought gold, and Is
blessed by the Pope on the fourth
Sunday in Lent. The rose is anointed
with balsam fumed with incense, and
sprinkled with musk, and is placed on
the altar during mass. The golden
rose Is usually presented to Catho.
lie prince or princess as token of
papal esteem, with an appropriate
form OF words. The custom of be-
slowing this decoration appears to
have originated about the thirteenth
century. Among the recipients have
been Henry VIII (who received It
three times), Mary Of England, Maria
Teresa, Napoleon III, and Isabella II
Of Spain. The golden rose is one of

To ARRANGE Flowers.

Here are five golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or, at the most, three different
kinds Of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form a bold
contrast or, better still, a soft har-
mony. The aim of the decorator should
be to. show off the fiowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
a dinner table should be either whites
q delicate shade of green, or rose col
or, according to the flowers arranged
in them.

Run like mad to make a train
And find the train Is late;
Wake up with an awful pain
And wonder what you ate;
Read none but best selling books i
And can't tell what you've read;
Talk of dresses, cash and cooks,
Or who is being wed;
Live some place little while
And then desire to move;
Every week change of style
To keep us from a groove;
Busy signal on the phone
Just when you want to talk;
Auto tires to bits are blown
And then you have to walk;
Modern transportation lines
Without a place to sit;
Landscape hid by painted signs
That make you throw a fit;
Daily scandal over graft
And statesmen swearing mad;
Half the people wholly daft
And everybody bad;
Noise around and on each side
And smoke all through the air;
People rushing eager-eyed,
Not getting anywhere;
Some one makes a hit today,
Tomorrow he's forgot;
All must work and none may play
This is the human lot.
Modern work and modern life,
Advantages supreme,
A whirling, seething, endless strife
How restful 1t would seem
To find the olden, golden days
That we have long despised
And ignorantly walk our ways
And be uncivilized!

Tough Porterhouse steak.

The tough end Of porterhouse steak
Is often wasted because no one wants
to eat 1t or serve 1t to others, This
waste may be avoided by chopping the
.ough portion with some of the suet,
making it into balls and broiling it
with the rest Of the steak. Serve each
member of the family ball and a
piece of tenderloin. If so desired the
balls may be favored with onion Juice
and chopped parsley 1t is sometimes
possible to have the chopping doue at
the shop.
