his very heart would sob away.

IDEAS FOR HOUSEWIVES.

A simple and excellent way to re- move dirty marks from d raincoat is to cut a raw potato in slices and rub it well on the marks. It will also re- move mud stains from dress skirts, childTen's coats and nen't trousers.
 Raisins may be easily stoned if boil ing water is poured on them and they are left in it for a short time.
 To render boots and shoes water proof in damp weather rub a little mutton suet round the edges of the soles. Beeswax is just as ef1cacious.
 After making sandwiches place them in an earthenware vessel or crock and cover tightly. Set the vessel in a can of cold water and sandwiches will keep moist for hours.
 To polish side combs dry some flour thoroughly in the oven and then let it get cold. Rub this well on the combs with a niece of wedding or rag.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-12-17

As the four gets dirty use fresh and be sure that the wadding is clean.
 When using marking ink for linen first make your initials the linen with an ordinary lead pencil and then trace with your ink over the pencil marks. The pencil will prevent the ink from spreading and give the linen a plotted appearance.
 Worth Doing.-When one has to have a heavy trunk in ones room take two long bed slats and get a large wooden box, remove the boards and nail them across the top of the slats, then buy four ball bearing roll CTS and screw into the slats and 1t is ready to put the trunk on, and you can roll the trunk out of the corner and clean under or pull 1t into the middle of the room to get in easily. Have the slats just the length of the trunk.
 When the Water Bag Leaks.-When the hot water bottle springs a leak dry it thoroughly inside. then fill with hot sand. Heated sand gives out a much better heat than hot water apd retains it longer.

NO RACE SUICIDE AMONG RRYN
 MAWR ALUMNAE.

newspaper paragraph which has been given wide publicity lately com
 ments on statistics gathered by the authorities of Bryn Mawr college on the families of it's married alumnae. It states that aIunnae married in 1888
 have an average of four children each, while a1umnae married in 1910 have an
 average of three tenths of a child
 each, and this terrible falling on IS considered conclusive proof of a rap idly advancing race suicide due to the
 higher education of women! A glance
 at the statistics quoted shows the tal- lacy in the argument The statistics hare dated January l. 1912, so that alumnae married in 1910 had been married between 12 and A months when the statistics were gathered. It is hardly reasonable to expect women
 married on an average 18 months to have four children each. The alumnae married i'll 1898 had, on the other hand 13 years of marriage in which their average of four children each were born that is, one child every 3A years.
