CARE OF THE DINING ROOM
Should Always Be Opened and Aired
and busted Before
Breakfast.

A dining room should always be
opened and aired and busted before
breakfast. 1t may be only a super
fetal busting, If time is short, and
the more thorough cleaning may be
deferred until later. If the table has
been set the night before, a light
cloth should have been thrown over
1t to protect the dishes, glasses and
silver from the light dust which will
settle during the night and this cloth
should not be taken off until the
carpet sweeper has been run over
the floor and the dust wiped from
the larger pieces of furniture Before
anything else is done the windows
should have been opened wide. II
the weather is very cold, ten minutes
airing will suffice.
Grease spots which OCCASIONALLY oc-
cur on the carpet about the table
may sometimes be removed by spong-
ing off the spot with a mixture of
one part of common salt to four parts
Of alcohol. Rub the spot hard. If
gravy or something heavy with fat
has been spilled, lay a piece of soft
paper on the spot, and pass a hot
flatiron lightly over it. Repeat the
process several times, using a fresh
part of the paper every time.

HONEY IS VERY WHOLESOME
Real Value So Out Of Proportion to
Cost II Should Be on Every
Table.

Most suburbanites would keep a few
hives of bees If honey values were bet
ter understood. Even when the honey
must be purchased its real value is SO
out of proportion to its cost that 1t
should be included among the every
day necessities.
Comparatively few housewives use
honey as substitute for sugar in
baking, but managers OF large baker
les, always on the alert to find the
best and most economical ingredients
to use in their productions, value 1t
at its true worth. and use 1t in making
their choicest products, because 1t pro-
vides variety of flavor. 1t produces
lighter and finer cakes, and those in
which 1t is used have superior keep
ing qualities.
Honey is in the fat, heat and energy
producing class of foods
Many people who do not keep bees
and a few that do conside. honey a
luxury, when If freely used 1t will save
enough of either butter or sugar to
much more than equal its cost For
example: Have a pitcher of strained
honey at hand and as each cake is
taken from the griddle pour honey
over 1t and fold like an omelet The
result will be cakes that will be sim
ply delicious" without the use of but,
ter-and every housewife knows that
hot cakes call for great deal of but.
ter when that is used
Honey has greater sweetening pow.
er than sugar and less is needed. In
a sponge cake that would call for
cupful of sugar three-fourths OF cup
full of honey is sufficient. To make
such cake beat the tire e-fourths OF
a cupful of honey with the yolks of
three eggs, beat in one cupful of -four,
little at time. then add four table
spoonful Of hot water. and lastly
fold In the stiffly beaten whites of the
three eggs. with any flavoring desired.

THE CARELESS SMOKER.

The average smoker Is too careless
IL the manner in which he losses burn
ing cigar and cigarette butts and light
ed matches about. The chances are
that no damage will be caused, and he
takes those chances When home'
a business house, city block. or even
a large section of city. is burned by
a fire starting from a smokers care
lessness the smoker goes scot free.
Is It not pertinent to ask why the law
should punish a man for splitting on
the sidewalk because some one might
contract a germ disease as a result or
his carelessness, while no punishment
is fixed to deter him from throwing
fire about, although millions OF dollars
worth of property and many lives may
be lost II the butt or match chances TO
fall where 1t can start hre. The cru
SADIE OF the anti-smoke contingent Is
not making much heRdwAy as moral
issue, movement for the improve
ment of public health or an agitation
against the boorish individual who is
discourteous to those With whom he
comes in contact, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal II 1t should result In
the enactment of city ordinances max
ing 1t a misdemeanor to throw lighted
matches and butts about, and in state
laws providing punishment where 1t Is
possible to fix the blame for fire upon
a negligent smoker millions Of dollars
worth OF property and many lives
might be saved The habit Of smoking
cannot be ended by agitation.

DO not inbred unless you have a
definite object in view, such as inten-
styling some particular good quality
and then do it by breeding the sire to
some of his own get.
This should not be followed up too
closely. Plan to have the heifers drop
their first calves at about "a to 30
months Of age. Their offspring will
be more vigorous and there will be
better results than by forcing an i'm
mature animal to bear progeny.
Breed COWS are large feeders. Feed
them a liberal ration of milk-produc-

When does Slang cease to be slang?
This is not a cunundrum. but the i'll
quiry of a correspondent who seeks
to know what length Of life a word
must have, how long must 1t be used
and generally understood. before 1t
passes from being, as 1t were. an I'M
desirable alien In the realm OF our
words and becomes naturalized. Every
schoolboy knows that the herring
pond" means the sea. Most people
would probably term It an American
ism referring to. the Atlantic ocean.
The only dictionary handy duly admits
the hyphenated word, describes 1t As
slang, and illustrates 1t with ito be
sent across the herring-pond: to be
transported" says the London Chroni-
Gle. The word was used as long ago
as 1863, when an English ambassador
wrote from Calais to secretary OF
state that he had "traversed the her
ring pond after about ten hours sail. "

MULCHING THE
STRAWBERRY BED
Where Straw Is Not Readily OBJ
talnabIe 1t Is Difficult to Get
a Covering of Right
Thickness.

(By II. F. GRINSTEAD, Missouri)
Where straw is readily obtainable
1t is difficult to spread properly over
the strawberry plants SO that 1t will
be thick enough yet not smother the
plants or require raking off in the
string.
A mulch of oats or sorghum is the
best thing | know of that may be
sown between the rows.
Oats alone has been tried, but from
the fact that we often have a very
dry fall it has not always made a
satisfactory growth before frost.
Sorghum or kaffir corn are dry
weather plants, and If there is suttl-
cient moisture in the soil to germln-
ate the seed they will grow till frost.
A good plan is to SOW oats and sor-
ghum or oats and kaffir corn in mix
ture and thick enough so that 1t will
not be coarse.
AS soon as it is killed by the frost
the sorghum will fall, making an ideal
mulch Then. as the weather becomes
more severe the oats will be killed
Mulch grown in this way will al
ways be found thickest where needed
in bare places and between the
rows.
1t cannot possibly smother out the
plants no matter how rank 1t grows,
and is the best for keeping the fruit
off the ground in the spring
One of the greatest advantages in
mulch OF this kind is that you are
reasonably sure to have no weeds
sown with 1t, as is often the case
when using wheat straw

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOUR BABY ?

The young mother-and many an old
one, tools often puzzled to know the
cause of her child's i'll nature. The
loudness of it's crying does not neces-
sariy indicate the seriousness Of its
trouble. 1t may have nothing more the
matter with it than headache or feel
course, describe its feelings, but as a
preliminary measure you are safe in
trying q mild laxative.
Nine times out of ten, you will find 1t
is all the child needs, for its restlessness
and peevishness are perhaps due to OBJ
struction of the bowels, and once that
has been remedied the headache, the
dences of constipation and indigestion
will quickly disappear.
Don't give the little one salts, cathar,
tic pills or nasty waters, for these will
act as purgatives, and they are too
strong for a child In the families Of

The burglar will always be abodt
seeking for a chance to rob, and the
police problem is how to reduce the
ranks of these thieves to a minimum
and make their work so dangerous
that few will dare to undertake 1t.
Carelessness and forgetfulness on the
part of the housekeeper make the
work of these gentry far easier than
It would otherwise be. The police
generally do the best they can, but
they could do far better were noe the
burglars offered so many golden op-
portunities for the work they are al
ways so ready to do.

NEWSY LETTER FROM
 HILL IN IDITAROD

At the next roadhouse I met the first water I could not avoid and drove through over a foot of it. A mile fur ther 1 had to be ferried across the river and had to unload. It was very warm and I was afraid to stop as it was raining and I doubted whether would get another nights freeze. pulled the dogs all day and forced them hard. The big race was only a fit preparatory test for that last day after what had preceded it. About two miles from Iditarod City I came to Caribou creek running full and very wickedly. The first tree I tried to lay across did not quite reach and when the far end hit the water, my end tossed me to one side as if l were feather. Some men ahead of me had laid three logs across and I built that out till had a bridge about four feet wide which I covered with brush and that with snow and drove my team, sled and load across. The dogs stop ped when the sled was just starting across and Skidoo attempted to jump to the bank and landed in the stream. Instantly he was swept under the bridge, but I got to him and cut him free with my sheath knife. I cut the trace and he did not float away and it was a minute before I realized that he rolled out from under the bridge. his eyes bulging, his tongue out and l thought he was dead, but he sputtered a time or two, righted up. and swan out ard presently joined us.
