two Or three years ago, a fox, hard
pressed by hounds, took refuge in this

In the part of Shropshire hunted by

GETTING RID OF INSECTS
They VIII Depart If Wooden Furni-
ture and Crevices Are Washed
WITH Weak Solution of Alum.

A housekeeper of long experience
says she no longer is troubled with
insects, pests of any kind since an
old cook told her to wash her shelves,
floors, bed-slats, bureau drawers, the
woodwork around sink and all crevices
with a rather weak solution of alum
water
This same housekeeper does her
own patching of iron pots and pans
She mixes a pound Of salt and two
pounds Of wood aches to thick paste
and fills in the break in the iron She
then sets 1t away to dry, when, it be-
comes as hard as the iron itself and
the leak stops.
Another of her contrivances for soft
ening hard water for washing clothes
was the night before wash day to put
about a peck of wood ashes in the
bottom of a barrel and fill it up with
the hard water. By morning the gen
tie alkali has softened the water as no
modern washing powder does as safe
ly or any better.

GOOD TOAST RARELY FOUND
Patience In Making 1t Is Necessary
and 1t Should Be Neither Sogey
Nor Too Crisp.

There Is nothing so rarely found as
toast that is we'll made. Few COOKS
are successful with it, yet 1t is mol
difficult to get right.
The chief reason of many failures
is lack Of patience. 1t is so much
easier to cut thick, uneven slices, not
remove the crusts and do several
platefuls at a time that that Is the
usual method.
Appetizing toast should be cut thin
without crusts, cooked over clear
bed of Goals until a delicate brown OF

led lightly with salt and put back In
the oven for minute for the butter
to soak in
Never let toast stand Far better
wait for it than have too much cooked
at once. If the family is late in com.
ing to the table do not start to toast
until they are eating their cereal.
The best toast is made over open
Goals, but it can be nicely toasted In
the gas oven if closely watched.
Appetizing toast is neither soggy
nor so crisp that it tastes like dried
chips. The best is made from a close
grained bread a day old
Do not serve in great chunks; toast
must look well, besides being properly
cooked, to be appetizing.
Toast that has grown cold can be
served by putting it on an old plate
covering 1t with cream, butter and
salt and allowing it to soak into the
bread in hot oven.
Where one prefers to butter toast
at a table it must be served hot in
folded napkin and just few slices
at time.
In making milk toast use little
thickening in the milk, otherwise your
toast will be soggy and thin

Walnut Catsup.

One hundred walnuts, half cupfui
of salt. one and a half quarts of vine
gar, quarter ounce of mace, one-quar-
ter of an ounce of nutmeg, one-quarter
of an ounce of cloves. one-quarter of
an ounce of ginger, one-Guarter of an
ounce of whole black pepper, small
piece of horse radish, 20 shalots, one
quarter of a pound of anchovies.
Procure the walnuts at the time
when you can run pin through them;
slightly bruise and put them into a
lar with the salt and vinegar; let
them stand eight days, stirring every
day: then drain the liquid from them
and boil it. with the above ingredients,
for about half an hour. 1t may be
strained or not, as preferred, and, if
required, little more vinegar can be
added. When bottled well, seal the
corks.

Suuue stions.

Wooden or pasteboard plates, of the
kind bakers use for the delivery of
pies. serve a good purpose as refriger-
ator dishes The plates should be pro
tected by piece of waxed paper when
necessary, and after being used can be
thrown away. The fact that they do
not break and that they can be bent a
little to make room for other articles
is a decided recommendation.
Bags made of cheese cloth, about
eight inches square, filled with oat-
meal, powdered borax, pulverized cas-
tile soap and a little powdered orris
root and used in the bath are delight
fully refreshing.
Rub fresh lard over new tinware,
and heat it in the oven before using.
Then you will never have any trouble
about rusting.
Foodstuffs should never be left in
cardboard boxes, for they draw mois-
ture and attract insects.
