writing last week: but nevertheless
read the letters, just the same. and am
glad there are so many new sisters.

tiers would like to come with me; but
in case You do not, I will give you

L. r.. KS DOMESTIC HELPS AND
COMMENTS.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So
cia1 Corner: I am sending few
house hold helps which perhaps will be
new to some of the sisters:
To keep tinware from rustine: Rub
over with fresh lard when new, then
thoroughly heat in the oven before
using.
To prevent black petticoats from
soiline corsets and corset covers, sew
a white bias fold about one and one
half inches wide around the inside OF
the belt.
To remove wagon grease from cloth,
rub with lard. After fifteen minutes
wash out thoroughly with hot water
and soap.
Never press fur lined coat 1t will
ruin the skins. Take a very wet
sponge and go over the garment thor
oughly if it has become very wrinkled
or soiled; then hang on a form in the
open air. When dry it will look like
new coat.
When removing ribbon from soiled
corset covers or aprons. faSten a piece
of Irvine on one end and pull through.
Take off the ribbon. leaving the string
in the garment while it is being lalIn-
dered. Then by tying the ribbon on
the end again it is easily pulled back
into place.
Isabelle: o. yes, I got enough buck
LIBERTIES for q, pie last week. I'm glad
you like the cold water cake, as it was
of my own invention.
NJ. Ronea: 1t was as good as going
to the fair again to read your fine
story. I sent a large 'tshortcake," so
all the sisters may have a piece. Hope
it will go around.
Minnehaha:: I have made your
Snookadoodles often, but did not know
the name of them. Called them drop
cookies. They are nice.

Canterbury tried her luck, she seems

The children's department has al
ways been worthy of notice. 1t is
really quite wonderful what our young
girls can do in the way of cooking.

that you owe to them as well as to

SOCIAL CORNER STORY
Social Corner Boys at the Fair


heard wagon, and, as we always do
in the country, I looked, and Pa and
the minister were driving down the
road, and they were going some.''
Shortly they came back and stood
talking. could catch a few words
occasionally, such as The horse is per-
fectly safe for lady to drive, seven
years old, good puller and fair driver,
sound as dollar, he is all horse-an
easy keeper.
After talking a little time the min
lister came in to tell us he had bought
the horse at great bargain. Both
the minister and his wife were de-
lighted and thanked us over and over
again.
On the way home I told Pa I was
the minister, as the whole town would
resent it, and I might get expelled
from the Social Corner. All went we'll
for a few days, then the minister
came over to say the horse was lame,
and thin, and didn't go well; besides
he was out in the rain and his face
turned most all white
Pa was surprised and went over to
see it. He explained that he must
have got injured, either in the stable
or pasture, and advised him to put a
blister on and give him a three
months rest.
After a few more days the minister
became worried and called a veteri-
nary who said he needed a longer rest
than three months, and would advise
him to have him killed, which he did.
During that time all the men in
town had told Pa what they thought
of him, and the Social Corner Sisters
had adj been to me about it until 1
suggested that we Sisters give the
minister a donation party, for if we
gave him money he might buy another
horse of Pa and get stung worse next
time.
Finally the night for the donation
came and space forbids telling what
each gave, although / would like to do
so. All the Sisters and Brothers were
there, and the minister and his good
wife Jared well.
The Editor gave a years subscrip-
ton to The Bulletin, Pa a check with
which to buy a new horse, and we all
decided that after all Pa was a pretty
good fellow.

| By Ma,with due regard to the humor
| Of the Social Corner Boys.
Pa went to the fair. He was with
| the Social Corner boys all day. They
enjoyed the racing. They said those
horses can go some.
Pa traded horses with Rural Deliv-
cry. When I saw that horse I had a
pretty poor opinion of Rural Delivery
| till Pa told me they were both salts
| fed with the trade, and Pa said he
traded so that the horse didn't stan
| him nothin','' and he thought in a few
weeks he might make a pretty good
| trade with him.
The horse was 20 years old, more or
| less; his face was white with age, and
he was lame. He looked as if he hadn't
eaten a square meal in years.
In a. few days John came running in
all out of breath and said that the
| new minister wanted to buy horse.
I told him 1 hoped he wouldn't think
Of selling the minister a horse, for we
knew, to use his own words, that he
was q poor judge of horsef1esh; and [
have noticed that horse trading is
usually run differently than other lines
of business.
Pa and John shined and doctored
their horse and one day after we had
him about a week they brought their
nag out for me to look at.
He was fat, sleek, high life, his white
face was a beautiful bay and he wasn't
lame.
After dinner Pa asked me how long
since 1 had called on the ministers
wife.
l said not for a long time.
He said it was such a nice day he
thought | might like to call, and if 1
would we could drive over.
Now Pa isn't much on church and
the like, although when I go to meet
ing he drives me over and comes after
me; so naturally L was much pleased,
thinking he had turned over a new
leaf.
We dressed up and drove over. They
were delighted to see US and wanted
us to come right in, but Pa thought he
would rather stay outside and look
around.
Pa and the minister seemed to be
enjoying each others company, looking
at the garden, chickens, etc, till I

A HOT LUNCH IN EIGHT MINUTES


Sisters of the SocoaI Corner: I sup
pose many office girls, like myself, have
to carry their noon lunches. For sew
eral years / took the regulation sand
wich cake pie" affair, with the result
that l went home al night nearly fam
ished and dyspepsia began staring me
in the face.
with such great success that nothin g
would induce me to go back to the old
way:
I got a little alcohol stove. and ten
cents worth of wood alcohol: filled a
tiny screw-top bottle with matches
bought pie-tin SMALLEST size and of
heavy tin). piece of asbestos paper, ia
blespoon, knife and fork. This was the
cooking outfit.
For carrying the food to be heated,
I used a ten cent size Nabisco tin as it
would slip easily into my handbag.
When lined with wax paper it could be
packed solidly with meat and potato.
1 have found that it is better to
take food that has been partly cook
ed, as chops, steaks, etc, or cold Sic
ed meat with a little gravy. Mashed or
creamed potatoes are most satisfac-
tory. although boiled ones may be re-
heated in butter or gravy. -
BY actual count, you can have the
stove going and the food smoking hot
in less than eight minutes.
The hot food, with bread and but
ter and cake. makes an appetizing and
satifying meal, and l do not feel ''all
gone before supper time.
As to the dishwashing, I clean off
the pan. knife and fork with paper,
wrap them up in a paper bag, and slip
them into my handbag, to be scrubbed
and seaideG at home.

tiful letters on home, and l cannot re-
frain from writing few words on the
subject that lies very near my own

cries.

IN
CONVENTION AT
SAN FRANCISCO
Fifty-Seventh Session Of the Union
Opens in San Francisco.

San Francisco, Aug.14.-The fifty
seventh session Of the international
Typographical Union was opened
here today witha address by Mayor
P. H. Mccarthy and remarks from
representatives of the daily press,
the commercial printing branch of
the industry and from representa-
tives of the local typographical un-
ion. Response was made by Presi-
dent Lynch, Of the International
Typographical Union.
While the union was organized in
1852, this is the fifty-seventh con-
vention that has been held by the
International Typographical Union;
it is not the fifty-seventh annual
gathering. In 1894 the organization
adopted the biennial idea and no
convention was held in 1895 or in
1897; a return to the annual con-
vention began with 1898 and they
have been held yearly since that
time.
The reports of officers submitted
to the convention today show that
for the fiscal year ending May 81,
1910, the membership of the Inter
national Typographical Union earned
S45, ,6O2,944, or an average of 1858
per member. For the fiscal year end
ing May 81, 1911, the membership
earned $49,770,66S, or an average
per member of 1913.
The average membership for the
fiscal year ending with May, 1911,
was 51,095, while the average men,
bership for the prior fiscal year was
47S4S.
These figures represent an in
crease in earnings of more than $4,-
100000, and an increase in average
membership OF 3247.
1t was stated in the reports that at
this time the average paying mem
bership was more than $4,000.
The convention is quite largely at
tended, and will be in session
throughout the week.
