some valuable data in the records OF
the last eight months We have
had snow during the last eight
months, total of almost q feet dur
ing that time. There is no denying
that Ohio has greater assets than her
climate. In truth, this seems TO be
her greatest drawback, due, prob.
ably TO her location. Michigan, which
is farther north, has II much better
have the damp cold which chills the
people Of the Buckeye state.
There was just little snow late
Monday and early Tuesday morning,
and this recalls the fact that we have
had snow in eight successive months
amounting to almost six feet, or an
average of nine inches month

an organism untitled for the trial of
strength, and when the strain is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child, and a
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother of chill
dren, and indeed childbirth under right
conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
1t isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound makes women normal,
healthy, and strong.
Any woman who would like
special advice in regard to this
matter is cordially invited to
write to Mrs. Pinllhaln at Lynn,
Mass. Her letter will be held in

The yolks of eggs may be made into a
thin custard with a half pint of milk
and a tablespoonful of sugar. Flavor
with vanilla n pour over the plum
sponge instead of cream.
Halves of canned peaches thoroughly
chilled can be filled with whipped
cream and served in half a stale
sponge cake dipped in sherry. The
juice of the peaches can be stiffened
with gelatine for next days dessert. A
tablespoonful of brandy Is a nice ad-
dition.
Peaches left when a jar is opened
are nice for salad for next days lunch.
Serve Icy cold and fill the hollow with
mixture of equal parts of snappy and
cream cheese mixed to a paste with a
little French dressing.
Cold boiled rice from n dinner can
be turned into rice mold for next days
dessert by adding a little milk, gela-
tine and a favoring of cinnamon and
lemon rind grated. Have the rice icy
cold and fill with Jared fruit or
sliced ranges
The scorner of plain hash will enjoy
a mince of chicken mixed with a cream
sauce and served in a mold OF spa
ghetti seasoned highly and colored
with tomatoes.
Spanish toast is nothing but fried
bread cut in three-inch cubes. Serve
piping hot with a hard sauce favored
with sherry or a hot wine sauce.
The Jared peach or plum is delicious
when turned int a deep pie. Use a
pudding dish or a deep CASSEROLE dish,
and bake with only the top crust. This
is nicer if served with whipped cream
and a cheese paste made of cream
cheese and chopped English walnuts.
Have o served lettuce as a e
table? Put a good-sized head in boil
ing water for five minutes. Plunge
in cold water. remove quickly and dry
in a napkin. Put some slices of bacon
in the bottom of a pan, put the let
tuce head on top, cover with soup
stock and bake for about an hour in
a slow oven. When the liquid has
cooked down almost to a jelly lift out
the lettuce, season with salt and pep
per and pour over 1t a white sauce
as for caulifower.

A SAUCEPAN LID RACK.

Many simple c%ontriyances are the
source Of greatest comfort in the home.
A saucepan lid rack will save the irri-
tation often experienced by failing to
find the cover in the expected place or
the annoyance caused through knock
ing it off the table or nail upon which
1t is hanging.
The fat board should be about
thirty-six inches long. To each end
is fastened an upright strip of wood
about three-quarters of an inch square.
Now fasten On to the upright piece tive
long strips Of wood about an inch wide,
six or seven inches apart.
After sandpapering we'll, stain and
paint the rack and fasten against the
kitchen wall at a convenient height.
Brass screw-hooks might be fastened
to the lower edge of the board, from
which to hang egg-beaters, wooden
spoons. etc, SO that they are always al
hand when wanted.

Spots on Rainc0at.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you please tell me what would
take a large spot out of a rubberized rain
coat? [ do not know what it is, but 1t
looks as though it may be oil. DO you
think gasoline or benzine would take it
out? II not, please tell me what you
think would. Thanking you in advance
for a speedy reply. Yours truly,
"THANKFUL."
If the coat has a rubber surface then
it should be cleansed with soap and
water, but if the coat has any cloth in
the surface, then the best thing to use
is a very weak solution of benzine. Dc
not use benzine on a rubber surface.

A SAVING HINT.

There are little time-savers of the
toilet which are worth learning. In
threading ribbon or tape through lin
gerie, a wooden match makes an ex-
cellent substitute for a bodkin. 1t is,
however, possible to do without thread
ing the ribbon at all, and, when about
to send the garment to the laundry, q
pierce of narrow tape should be tied to
the end OF the ribbon and the latter
drawn out of the throad-holes, leaving
the tape in its place. The knot is then
unfastened, and the set of lingerie car
be sent TO the wash, the ribbon being
replaced on its return in exactly the
same manner. In the case of those
whose lingerie is entirely ornamented
with rows OF rtbbon-run beading, this
plan may save many quarters of ar
hour during the week.

hot sun before wearing. This precau-
ton is taken for the distinct reason
of disinfection. which is i~mperatively
necessary, whether the product be d.

that they be hung with a black cloth

time there is no fear that It will have
a bleaching effect, making them a

To Color Canvas.

Dear Miss Doom:
Will a reader kindly tell me what l can
use to color duck canvas a dark green. !
want something that will not stiffen the
canvas, Creosote stain seems to be very
good, but the odor is Objectionable. |
would be very grateful for this informa-
ton. Very truly yours. r. b.
If you will select paint the desired
tint of green and mix with turpentine
until you get it the consistency of
stain, then put on the canvas quickly
with a brush, you will find it very sat
i~sfactory. Dampening the canvas first
will make the task of applying the
paint somewhat easier.
