on the scene of desolation that, few
days before, had been house in order.

"What?" demanded Henry.
"Excelsior!" cried Isabel, throwing a
handful of that buffer material at her
husband. why, il you really want to

GUARD AGAINST POISON.

There had been wholesale poisoning
in one city after a musical. Nothing
in the menu seemed at fault, and. 1t
was only: after careful investigation
that the cause was learned-a metal
spoon allowed to stand all night in the
mayonnaise.
Too great care cannot be taken in
the use Of metal utensils. II pays for
.housekeepers to buy heavily plated
forks and spoons for kitchen use, as
the cheaper ones wear off and are
used long after they are unsafe.
Keep sharp watch on the ice cream
freezers-when old they give bad cases
of lead poisoning. Coffee pots must
also be whole. They should be dis
carded when the enamel begins to
wear off.
Never put acid jellies or tomatoes
in tin dishes to cool-the results are
sure to be injurious. Use .earthen-
ware molds wherever possible.
In opening canned goods pour cut
the contents Immediately, though but
a portion is to be used. The air act
ing on the metal poisons the contents.
IL you buy table oil in quantities
never let 1t stay in the opened cans.
Bottle at once. Never mix mayon-
naise in a tin dish. The action Of the

more than all his immunity from the
domestic chaos. Weren't men lucky
mortals, she thought, to be able, to put
on pair of light gloves and wave
goodbye jauntily as they closed the
door on all the unpleasaritness OF

II may not have seemed to be much
good in the. packing UP, but when we
get over there, I'll take Monday off and
duff right in"
"Oh. that will be splendid" declared
Isabel. You know, Henry, the things
I've done no one else could do. Even
you couldn't have done anything. And
in unpacking, there will be things you
can do that we couldn't hire anyone to
do. So, IL you will help me on Mon
day, 1t will be lovely"
During the few Intervening DAYS
Henry talked much OF what he would
do on Monday and didn't feel obliged
to make excuses when he put in his
evenings at the office.
Saturday night he came home look
ing very sad and apologize. AS Isabel
was too tired to notice lights and
shades of expression, 1t was very diff
ficult for Henry to find Just the right
opening for what he had to say. The
introduction would have helped so
much. So he called her Little Girr'
and tired little child and told her how
cleverly she had managed everything
and followed her around offering to "do
anything" though, unfortunately for
his belated good intentions. everything
was done.

TO FIND PARTNERS.

To choose partners for a cotillion
or card party, prepare a number of
small cakes; ice with pink for the un-
married women. white for the women
who have left the realms of single
blessedness, yellow for the unmarried
these cakes place tiny favors-
thimbles, buttons. keys, duplicate mot
toes, rings, hooks, eyes, etc. The man
who gets a hook finds the girl with
the eye, a man getting key finds the
girl with the ring to put it on. etc.
The cakes may be passed on trays.
Another pretty way to select part
ners Is to provide paper Japanese
masks and caps. Divide the company
by taking out the men into another
room. then give them their disguise. at

quit tea and use Postum.
AT first he used Postum only for
breakfast. but as he liked the taste Of
1t. and 1t somehow seemed to do him
good, he added it to his evening meal.
Then, as he grew better, he began to

he will drink nothing else at table.

He owes all this to Postum, for he

are finished off with ribbon tie and

INVENTION TO REDUCE
COST OF THRESH|NG

Hutchinson, Kan, March "a com
bination harvester and thresher which
runs like an automobile and which
will, it is expected, revolutionize the
harvesting business, has been perfect
ed by Winifred Jacobs of Hutchinson.
The first OF the machines is to be
put in operation in June, starting with
the wheat harvest in Oklahoma. IL
will be run by its own power across
the continent, ending up with the
wheat harvest in Saskatchewan, Can
ada.
1t will be run back across the con-
tinent to Hutchinson and arrive here
in time for the Kansas state fair
next September, after the most spec
tacular run any motor machine has
ever made.
1t will cost about $4,000 to build this
first machine. Mr.. Jacobs is conn.
dent that it will do the work he claims
for it, If it does a big plant will be
established in Hutchinson to manufac.
ture it or assemble or distribute it.
The matter will be presented to
the Hutchinson commercial club.
1t is the intention to have the first
machine made at the Sellers automo .
bile works. There isn't very much
making to do. The idea is to take 4
standard threshing machine or sep
arator, the cutting apparatus of reg
ular harvesting machine and the
chassis and engines of a5O-horse power
