\ Suggestion.

An exchange is agitating the scheme
to name all country roads as streets are
now named and to number the houses
along these roads. The plan is a good
one, and should be adopted by country
people for their roads. Atpresent cOun-
try roads have no designation except as
incidentally fall to them, and it is often
difficult for strangers to find their way
without making frequent inquiries.
Name your roads and let the name APP
pear on each corner. 1t will then be
easy to find any house in the country, as
it now is i'll the city, where the street
and number are given.

A Suggestion for the Small Merchant
A TRUE WANT AID STORIETTE.
Copyright, 1911, De Forest Porter.l

The shoeman had voiced the prob
lem that is uppermost in the minds
of many of the smaller merchants in
the city today. Every man with a
store. in a new and growing sectioil
of the city, is up against this same
proposition day after day, week after
week and month after month.
But there is an answer In the
world of business and industry there
is a solution of every problem.
In this case the solution to the
question Of advertising by the smaller
merchants is in the Want Ad columns
of the daily paper. Others have tried
this medium and it has been eminent
ly successful. 1t is not expensive.
Successful advertising is not depend
ent on the flaming letters and great
space. It's force is dependent on re-
teration-sayiug the same thing over
and over again until force of habit

you have to sell with your name. The
two become inseparable. Three lines
in a Want Ad column reaches thous-
ands of people every day.
The shoe merchant, the jeweler. the
small grocer, can tell his story over
and over again daily.

To keep children's stockings from
wearing out at the knees before other
parts show wear turn the stocking
inside out and take a piece cut from
an old stocking leg about seven orl
eight inches long; do not cut opensl
but arrange It over the stocking all
the knee and sew it fast at each end
rather loosely so that the thread will
not break when the stocking isl
stretched. Then turn the stockingl
right side out; the sewing will scarce
ly show. and the stocking will wear
twice as long as It will if this is mott
done. If a new stocking is worm
once it is easy to get the piece at ths
right place.
A good way to satisfy the members
of a family who do not care for the
same kind of cake is this: Make al
batch OF cake batter which will make
six layers From this put in two layer
tins the plain white dough, then what
is left divide and put half In another
dish. To one part can be added
lemon, orange, or spices to flavor. To
another can be added some bitter
chocolate melted in hot water, making
a niece chocolate cake, or one can add
either currants which have been
washed, dried and put in -four or a
half cupful Of cocoanut, thereby Civ
ing enough varieties Of cake to last a
week through, besides having q
change without extra labor.
This is a good way to clean bun or
cream-colored window blinds: Begin
by taking OFF any trimmings there
may be, washing them in hot soapy
water. then rinsing them in borax wa
ter, and pressing them on the wrons
side with a hot iron. Next bake
some -four in a dish in the oven, lay
the blind fiat on the table, dust it with
a clean cloth, then dip a piece Of fan
mel in the -four, and rub the blin7
evenly with It. Take fresh -four and
flannel when soiled. Polish the blind
with a clean, soft cloth. sew on the
trimmings again, and replace it in the
window Green blinds that have faded
may be made to look almost like new
by brushing them over with soms
linseed oil.
