For the first time in many years
it is possible TO ford the Missouri
river. In a number of places be-
tween Kansas City and the mouth
where the river covers a wide
channel, it is now less than four
feet deep, and it is predicted by
river men that as a result Of the
widespread drouth in the valley
this fall the river will be the low :

At last the can came from Carlisle,
who smilingly moved the bulk Of his re-
naming fortune toward the center Of the
table. Thereupon. with bland and sane
smile, the Hon. William Jones shook his
head and folded his cards together. The
judge displayed queens and tens, the gen.
tleman opposite queens and deuces.
Dunwody laid down his own hand, which
showed aces and fours. They all sighed.
Gentlemen. you all deserve to win,"
said Dunwody. Il feel like a thief

Judge Clayton rose, laughing, slapping
Dunwody on the shoulder and giving an
arm to Mr.. Jones, whom he assisted to-
his room.

IT was a beautiful mountain country
where Gus and Katherine lived.
From the pretty valley where the
little white cottage home stood thi.
little brother and sister could look away
up the rocky slope and along the banks
of green treetops which rose like a
mighty hill almost to the clouds. II
was a pretty spot, apart from the rest
Of the world, it seemed, but in spite
of this Gus and Katherine were not
lonesome. No-they had no little play
mates. The nearest house was FIVE
miles down the valley. Did say that
they had no playmates? Well, , made
a mistake there. They did have two
playmates and funny kinds Of playmates
they were.
Gus and Katherine never saw them
they only heard then-but they
seemed so real that these little people
were sure they were there somewhere
over among the mountains and that
some day they would come forth from
out their hiding place to greet them.
You don't quite understand
Well, here is the explanation.
You see every morning Gus and

AUGUST CANNING
AND PRESERVING
Helpful Hints on Jelly Max
ing for Housekeepers.

The success Of canning depends upon
fruit till all tho germs are destroyed
then sealing In air-tight cans while
scalding hot.
For canning use one-third to one-halt
as much sugar as fruit.
For preserving use three-fourths az
much sugar as fruit.
For jam use equal amount Of sugar
and fruit.
For Jelly use equal amount Of sugar
and Juice.
For canning use only perfectly sound
fruit. fresh. firm. and Of good quality.
For preserving. fruit Is both cut up
and left whole.
For preserving. fruit fruit is both cut
up and left whole.
For Jam, imperfect or overripe fruit
may be used.
For Jelly fruit should be underripe.
Cook small quantities at q time
Have the fruit boiling hotewhen put
into the jars.
Fruits in hot. dry season require less
sugar than In cool, damp season.
To keep ounces, pears and apples from
turning dark after they are pared drop
them in cold water containing lemon
Juice.
Plums and peaches can be easily and
quickly peeled If they are immersed in
boiling water for few minutes.
If the plums are cooked with the skins
on, prick them thoroughly to prevent
bursting.
To the juice that remains IN canning
fruit add the juice of lemon and the
white of an egg and freeze. 1t makes a
delicious ice for this hot weather.
Combine ounce with apple. Many fruits
can be bettered by judicious use Of other
fruits
The flavor Of peaches is improved II a
few pits are left in each can.
Discoveries in Jelly Making.
Apple jelly favored with mint is de-
licious to serve with lamb.
The cause of crystallizing in jelly is
either too much sugar or too rapid boil
ing.
Juice for jelly should not be stirred
while cooking.
Fruit for jelly should always be under
ripe
Fruit for jelly should not be gathered
just after a rain.
Too long boiling changes sugar to glu-
cose and turns the mixture into a sirup
which will not jell.
The sugar should always be hot when
Overlooking causes a strong. disagree
able taste.
Always leave the skin on large fruits
for Jelly making.
BIueberry Jelly.
The Juice from blueberries will tell il
the larger portion OF the berries are
geeen, but a much better jelly can be
made from ripe berries. To each pint of
juice add one and three-quarters tea
spOonfuls Of tartaric acid.
Three-fourths as much sugar as Juice
makes delicious dark-colored jelly.
Tartaric acid is the acid of grapes, and
can be purchased at any drug store. The
use of tartaric acid makes possible en-
tirely new jellies, and is also useful when
the fruit is overripe.
We are also indebted to the University
of Illinois and to some private expert
menters for this useful discovery.-Aug

heir mother had told them Il was
the echo, but Gus and Katherine felt
sure that some little girl and boy were
hidden away somewhere among the
waving trees. Some days the children
would talk to the little invisible people
for over half an hour and they would
say all kinds of things.
There was one funny thing about the
conversation. When Gus and Kather-
inc would shout long sentences the lit
tie invisible people would shout back
only part of it.
One morning Gus shouted-"When
are you going to come over to our
house to play?"
Our house to play" was all that the
little people would shout back.
Gus and Katherine, of course, under
stood by this that the invisible play
mates wanted them to come to their
house and they were as sorry as could
be that they did not know where they
lived.
But some day they are confident that
they will meet their little friends of

WAY OF MOLDING
SHOE TO FIT FEET

When new shoes-whICh fitted per
fectly we'll at the shoemaker r's-pinch
badly. moisten a cloth in hot water and
hold it across the place where the pres
sure is felt. the shoe being on; as soon
as the water cools, renew it, and re-
peat the performance several times. The
leather will thus be shaped to the foot.
New shoes that squeak should be
placed with the soles in a basin of water,
or should have a peg driven into the
sole by the cohbler. Either method will
remove the unpleasant sound.

USE LACE INSERTION
INSTEAD OF BEADING

If you have grown tired of beading on
your undergarments. try using two strips
OF lace insertion, one at the back and SSe
at the front of the seam, inclosing the
raw edge between them, Just as you
would when putting on a double cuff to
the wrist OF a blouAe.
Slip the ribbon in this as through a
casing, and it will show through the
lace in a very dainty manner.
This plan will especially appeal to the
very careful women. who like their
clothing to- look as well on the wrong
side as on the right. While 1t may be
bit more expensive than the beading,
it makes a charming change from the
old style of running ribbon in the lingerie

PLACE CHILD'S DRESSES
ON CLOTHES HANGERS

1t very often happens that baby's sheer
little frocks are creased II put away in
drawer. even If great care be exercised
in keeping them smooth.
much better plan is to procure
number of coat hangers. children's size,
and on these place the little dresses.
Any particular dress is easily found
and may be taken down without danger
of crushing the others. It will be found
worth while to have a circular bar put up
in the closet, as a great many more
frocks may be put away at a time.

trimmed with a band shaped to them.
There is also a full length tuck and a
short one al each side in front. The
back, however. is plain.
All waist materials. cambria. madras,
Chambray. linen, flannel, silk, and satin
are available for this model
The pattern. 5557, is cut in sizes 81 to

To Finish Armholes.

Here is neat way to finish the arm
holes of very fine lingerie waist.
Instead of binding II in the ordinary
way. buttonhole-stitch the edges with
loosely twisted embroidery cotton. This
will cohceal all the raw edge and will
be invisible from the right side.

Underarm Seams.

Home dressmakers should bear in
mind the fact that the underarm seam
of a sleeve should be set so as to come
21z inches nearer the front than the
underarm bodice seam. You will avoid
many botched garment by remember
ing this.
