IDEAS WE SHOULD HEED.

It may seem to the majority of wom-
en- that advice concerning the wssh-
ing Of coffee and tea pots was entirely
uncalled for; but knowledge Of frcts
show that poor coffee is more often
the result Of unclean pots than from
inferior coffee.
Tea and coffee pots should be
washed after using them Just IS care
fully 40 one does their good china,
and left to air In the sunlight, II pos
sible. The ideal way to serve tea
Is in using teaball at the table. but
for everyday life most people are too
busy for such pleasures. SO that a
stone or earthen teapot is best to use.
Teapots that are not in frequent
use will become musty. and should be
scalded and we'll aired before using.
II lump Of sugar ID left In company
pot 1t will absorb the impurities.
Coffee pots should never stand
around with the grounds In them. II
coffee is to be warmed over, drain 1t
and reheat when wanted. II the cof-
fee pot Is emptied as soon as the meal
is over and filled with cold water and
boiled the pot will always be sweet.
Coffee is better and pots are easier
cleaned II cheesecloth bags are used
to hold the coffee or, better still. have

A raw egg or two beaten up and

and in political sagacity. Although
the ostensible reason for Balfour's res-,

well known that he was almost forced
out OF the leadership by the standpat

they are called, which was dissatisfied

BEWARE OF TOO MANY SWEETS.

by the portal system and stored to be
used by the body. II We ever eat such
foods as potatoes. bread and sweets,
We overcrowd the liver.
Children can easily cultivate an ap-
petite for sweets. but II they never
get the habit much suffering for all
concerned is avoided.
Sweet fruits contain sugar that is
thoroughly satisfying and wholesome,
and little people may be early taught
to buy such things, instead Of candy.

SUGGESTIONS AND ECONOMIES.

When washing windows or mirrors
do not use soap. but instead little
ammonia or alcohol. which will make
them shine.
Rub the bottom of dish that must
be used in the fire with lard and the
smut will be easily wiped of.
A delightful invalid drink is made
by blending half cup Of grape Juice
with a cup and half Of strong lem
onade. ~
II the cake favoring has been for
gotten. sprinkle q little over it as
1t is in the pan before baking.
Figs and dates with few raisins
make a delicious combination with
chopped apples for q salad.
Four to six drops OF either camr5or
or turpentine dropped on loaf sugar
will relieve cold II taken In the be-
ginning.
Instead Of sewing hangers on towels
for the kitchen, make button holes In
tho corners and they will last as long
as the towels.
The flavor OF cup Of cocoa is i'm

added to It..
A good floor cleaner is turpentine
rubbed into the hard wood floor and
followed by a cloth wet with linseed
oil.
When a kettle has food burned IN
never scrape 1t, but put soda and
water to the dish and boil slowly until
the burned mixture is softened and
easily removed.
In extreme cases Of insomnia hot

JUDGE WALTER BoRDWELL

Judge Walter Bordwell was the pre-
siding Judge in the Mcnamara trial
at Los Angeles. which abruptly ended
by the confession OF guilt OF the &C
cused, and It was he who pronounced
the prison sentences upon the BROTH
ers. The Judge issued formal state
ment giving his views as to the trial
and especially what brought about its
termination. This, he said, was done
with the hope Of correcting if possible
some misconceptions due to errone-
GUS publications.
In the first place, the judge declared,
the claim or suggestion that the ter
mination Of the cases was due to the
efforts of outsiders who undertook to
influence the officers OF the court
other than the judge-was without
Justification in fact. He also de-
nounced the claims Of a certain writ
err and Of other persons for him that
the change Of pleas from mot guilty"
to guilty" was due to his efforts as
groundless. The district attorney. the
