nkeeplnu Thinus Up."

In every estimate of housekeeping
expenses therA should be a generous
margin for ths keeping Of things up.
The wear and tear of usage, and, more
strange and porplexing still, the wear
and tear of non-usage, tell sadly upon
our houses and their furnishings. Car
pets which are constantly trodden
grow thin In spots, are faded by the
sun, and become threadbare; carpets
in closed rooms are devoured by the
moths; curtains fade; family linen
gradually falls into decay. Every
thing must be replenished, kept up.
gone over again and again, If the do
nestle machinery is not to creak and
rust.
The wise housekeeper buys every
season a few new articles, and, so to
speak, has always her reserve stock
on which to draw.
So, too, in other matters. The judi
cious housewife keeps everything up
to the mark.

EyeIet kimono.

Among the new fancies of the lin
gerie people are kimono blouses made
of eyelet embroidery, thin or thick.
The design is not very open, and the
blouse is cut in the well-known jump
er shape 1t can be worn over an
other kimono blouse of china silk,
white or colored. or it can be worn
merely over dainty corset cover run
through with pink ribbon.
1t should have guimpe of net or
lace, as the sleeves are rather wide
and somewhat short and expose too
much of the arm for any occasion, ex-
cept house wear. AS it is quite the
fashion to wear flesh-colored slips un-
der ones blouses the idea may be
carried out with artistic result under
these eyelet kimonos.
One should finish the elbow sleeves
of the under slip with a three-inch
hem of net, plain or dotted, or an
equally wide band of lace

USE FOR THE CHEAPER CUTS
If Properly Cooked They Are Not to
Be Despised, but Must Have
Careful Preparation.

Butchers should endeavor to correct
the impression of customers that only
the high priced meats are valuable as
food. On the contrary, says the Ma
tional Provisioner, the cheaper cuts
are often more highly favored and
fully as nutritious.
The chuck Is one of the cheapest
portions of the beef, but when cooked
slowly in a small amount of water
either with or without vegetables for
seasoning is a most excellent dish.
In stewing meat If too high tenn
perature is used it will tougher the
fibre. Another mistake Is to overlook
skirt steak sells for two or three
cents a pound less than the others,
but If properly cooked is just as good
Lay the steak on a meat board and
score 1t well with a chopping knife
Then dredge with -four and put it
into a smoking hot frying pan that
has been creased enough to keep the
meat from sticking to it. When well
scared over on both sides pour over
1t little boiling water and allow 1t
to simmer slowly for two hours. Sea-
son to suit the taste. A bit of carrot
or onion or bay leaf and a little vine
gar to soften the fibre will add to the
favor of the meat.
All light meats are best stewed and
Drowned just before serving. Mutton
ur beef Is hest Drowned first and then
stewed. Cheaper cuts are best cooked
In the fireless cooker. When roasting
meat it should be quickly scared over

SOME EDIBLE WEEDS
VALUE OF ROOTS THAT HAVE
BEEN THOUGHT USELESS.
Golden Thistle May Be Used Like Sal.
sify-Leek as Food Staple
MIX Weed Has Taste Re-
sembline Asparagus.

The roots of the golden thistle have
been found to be good. They are used
like satisfy. They may be dug in
September and kept through the win
ter. Thus what has heretofore been
regarded as a pest by the farmers
may now be looked upon as partial
blessing.
Leek is another weed now honored
as food staple. 1t has wholesome
properties and is excellent for favor
ing. 1t can be wintered In cellar,
or If planted in large pot the leaves
may be cut as often as they get too
long to support themselves. Then,
from the top until II be used up.
The common mallow Is another
well known weed now being eaten. 1t
roots deeply, drawing valuable min
eral elements to the surface It has
mild, mellow flavor and those who
hike lettuce find it palatable, The
young leaves are tender and crisp
and are prepared like lettuce. 1t Is
valuable tonic which the ancients
made use of constantly as a raw food.
The common milkweed. cooked,
tastes like asparagus. 1t should be
cut when about a foot high. The
stalk is large and succulent Boiled
and served with butter is the usual
way of cooking, says the Scrap Book.
1t is also used as salad, the tender
tips only being utilized. Milkweed
is excellent for the kidneys.
Another weed which, when boiled
| like spinach, makes nourishing dish,
is the commonly called lambs quar-
ter" 1t grows where large quaint
! ties of loose earth have been exposed
to the sun, as in railway filling or
newly made country road. 1t has a
straight stem, from which the leaves
grow large and sparse at the bottom
and smaller and more thickly toward
! the top.
| The ordinary wild nettle hiatt grows
in prickly abundance in every farm
yard and fence corner is now being
recognized in this country for the first
time as a valuable food plant. It is
a good substitute for spinach If prop
erly cooked. Of course, it should not
be used without cooking
To use flower bulbs as vegetables
seems strange thing, yet the dahlia
is being cultivated for its tubers
They make wholesome food, having
warm, spicy favor that is much
liked. The single red variety of Dahlia
is the one cultivated for its tubers
IN good soil it is as productive as
the sweet potato. It may be plant
ed from seed in early May, and by the
middle or last of July the tubers are
large enough to dig.
Cut it into cubes, after peeling, an(
fry in olive oil with a dash of curry
powder. Or it may be cooked like tur
nips, beets and carrots.

Be patient and gentle with the heif'

your own raising and you have always
treated her kindly she will not be
afraid of you. And when you sit
down with the calf by you and the
heifer's nose in her feed you ought to
have no trouble in milking. Having
the calf near the first few days and
talking to the young COW increases her

DYeina Hint.

If you are going TO dye any material
at home. dissolve pinch of bicar-
Donate of soda in the water in which
you mix the dye.
This will prevent the color from
crocking and will insure its covering
the material evenly.
If you cannot buy the shade you
wish, it can easily be mixed. For In
stance, mix blue with pink to make
violet, a little yellow with green to
make moss color, black with ecru for
yellow smoke, etc.
Be sure to rinse the material very
well with cold water before hanging
10 dry after dyeing. Press while
