Protect SlIk Stockinus.

When you want to squander your surplus wealth-if you ever have any
 let your toe nails grow and then buy and wear silk stockings. Each pair can be safely guaranteed to de velop nice large holes in two days time.
 But for the rest of us who dote on silk stockings and have only one or two pairs to go through the season with, devices such as the toe guard and top protector are welcomed. be- cause they will prolong the life of our fragile silk treasures.
 The toe guard Is mitten effect which slips first over the toes before you draw on the stocking and pre- vents the friction against the stocking The top protector is most practical to prevent the hose supporter from tear ing stitches in the silk stocking. It Is made of chamois skin. and is fastened to the hoe upporter in the first place and regularly laid between stocking and supporter fixture. so that the fysgils elk ' 0uts protected.

Restored In Christ.
agencies

Our Lord once encountered man who had withered hand. In spite of the captious questioning of the Jews. or perhaps In order to silence 1t, Christ, at the dictate of his own mer- ciful heart, said to the afflicted man, stretch forth thine hand And when he stretched it forth 1t was restored whole The moral Is evident-in hu- man society there are many palsied hands-atrophied powers or unused faeulties-needing to be restored to full duty as social ministrants. There Is only one way to accomplish this result-use what little power is left in stretching forth the imperfect fac ulty In the direction of Jesus Christ. who can endue 1t with fuller life and potency. If in your life there Is any loss of efficiency. any withered hand. put 1t at once into working condition. through Christ's grace, in the line of duty.

Use of Baking Ammonia.

Baking ammonia tpowdered rock ammonia) Is used to some extent in pastry making, leman bismuits (so feathery light and delicate), are com monly made with 1t, but we would hes itate to recommend its use ordinarily for making bread Like other salts and chemicals, the strength of the powder may vary considerably with the time and condition of keeping. and your best plan would seem to be to inquire of the druggist the specific amount to be used. It should be sifted free from Jumps and is then sifted among the flour and used thus with the other ingredients in pastry mak- ing. It raises biscuits beautifully light and possibly similarly good results could be obtained with bread
