Whenever a bottle has been
emptied, wash it right ont, and

can clean it more easily by doing
this.
If housewives would have rub
Der heels and soles on their every

RATHER, pair of child's shoes,
and a dollar of 1918 with . string
attached through q hole.
But why did grandma have the
childrens shoes wrapped again
In cotton batting? A bit of mud
between he heel and instep camc
off in her hand. They we're the
shoes he wore last time he went
out. She fitted the bit of mud
back in place again and as she
did so q tear fell upon it. Then
she looked at all the little dents
in the dollar of 1S1S-they were
the marks where he cut his teeth.
She PICKED up the tin RATHER, ex
amined it infinitely, and-and-
yes, she blew the whistle in the
handle end. This once distract.
ing noise was now music in her
memory.
One of her grandchildren came
to the head Of the attic stairs to
say that lunch was ready, but
of course, Grandma didn't want
any lunch that day, and she bur-
led her face deep in the trunk so
the child would not see her weep.
There was bundles and bundles
of old letters in that same trunk
tied with faded blue ribbon-let-
ters with wax seals, before the
days of envelopes and postage
stamps-letters in acopper plated
hand-stilted style: "My Most Es-
teemed Friend. l take my pen in
hand to state to you that l am in
the best of health, and hope these
few lines will find you enjoying
the same Gods blessing" Grand
ma opened bundle after bundle
and letter after letter.
1t began to rain-the rain fell
on the roof and Grandma's tears
fell on the pages opened into
things of long ago.
About four O'Clock Grandma
put everything back in the trunk
closed the lid and came down
stairs-ber hands covered with
dust and CRIME of time and her
eyes red with weeping.
She held few square inches of
figured silk to her daughter and
said: "Here is a piece of the
vest your father wore the night
we were married; l though l
might put it in my next quilt"
And that's how Grandma
cleaned the attic.

"ooN w uuCus
| Many man wears himself out
trying to keep up with his good
intentions.
The funniest thing about big
man is that he is apt to have q
little wife.
Whitewash your barn, but new
er undertake to whitewash a
crooked politician.
You are better than you seem |;
better than you believe yourself
to be. So don't give way to dis.
couragement.
There are. more people dying
for the lack of a kind word, a pat
on the back and a little encourag-
ment, than there are from dis
ease.
What a lot of strength there is
wasted chopping with dull axes!
Spend few minutes at the grind
stone and see how nicely the
world will 60 after that.
Some folks make themselves so
lame kicking about things, that
they tire themselves all out and
never make anything out of life.
1t doesn't pay.
The boys and girls get enough
hard knocks out in the world
without you being so harsh with
them. Let your home be a shell
ter to them and a refuge from
the storms Of the world.
Gets pretty slippery around
the house and barn sometimes.
Get barrel of sand, coal ashes
or sawdust, and when such days
come, scatter some on the icy
spots. Easier to save bones than
it is to mend them.
"Who pays the taxes2" asks
Wallaces' Farmer. So far as we
have been able to discover near
ly everybody pays. The tax col
lector is as relentless as death,
and few are able to sidestep him.
1t helps the wagon-maker to
let the mud freeze to the wheels
when you come in from a trip.
You don't need to do 1t though.
By taklngailittle pains you can
get most Of theimud off while ii
is soft, and s0 save the wagon
many years longer.
Do not track mud into the
house. Provide q scraper and
mat outside the door, and do not
forget to use them before going
into the house. Scrubbing floors
and sweeping carpets are not
easy tasks, and the thoughtful
man will not add to his wife's
burdens.
The horse blankets get torn
sometime. Some blustsry day,
take a stout needle and thread
and see what a good job you can
do mending the rents. 1t is a
good thing for the men folks to
do such little jobs as this, and
not call on the women SO much.
They have their own work to dc
every day.
If you are thinking of moving,
better look around first TO see if
the time, energy and money you
would spend seeking a new loca
ton would not, if wisely spent
about the old place, result in an
increase of profit aud comfort
that would justify You in staying
with the old home. Better do
this than be sorry.
To keep plows from rusting
To three pounds of tallow mix
one pound of white lead. Melt
the tallow in an old iron pot; stir

heat the mixture and apply it
