TRAGEDY OFTEN Turks
IN SMALL CARELEsSNEsS

There had been wholesale poisoning in
one city after q musicale. Nothing in
the menu seemed at fault, and II was
only after careful investigation that the
cause was learned-a metal spoon al
lowed to stand all night in the msyon-
naise, says an exchange.
Too great care cannot be taken in the
use Of metal utensils. Il pays for house
keepers to buy heavily plated forks and
spoons for kitchen use, as the cheaper
ones wear on and are used long after
they are unsafe
Keep a sharp watch on ice cream
freezers-when old they give bad cases
Of lead poisoning. Coffee pots must also
be whole. They should be discarded
when the enamel begins to wear on.
Never put acid jellies or tomatoes in
tin dishes to cool-the results are sure
to be Injurious. Use earthenware molds
wherever possible.
In opening canned goods pour out the
contents Immediately, though but q por-
tion is to be used. The air acting on the
metal poisons the contents.
II you buy table oil In quantities never
let It stay in the opened cans. Bottle
at once. Never mix mayonnaise in a tin
dish. The action OF the vinegar or lemon
on II makes for illness.

POEMS THAT HAVE HELPED
MY OLD RAG DOLL.

sr Published by RsquestI
Last night 1 searched the garret for q
long-for-gotten book.
And as / pried and peered about. dowr
in dusty nook
found what made me all at once forget
what was after,
And filed my eyes with springing tears
and stirred my voice to laughter.
And up took IL wonderingIy, with cob
webs, dust, and all.
And held 1t close against my heart
My old rag doll.
o. dear forgotten childhood's joy! o,
precious, long-lost treasure!
/ cannot tell why such a pain was
mingled with the pleasure;
cannot tell just why the tears fell fast
from eyes bent over
That dusty, dear. old-fsshIoned thIng-I

only know that Polly" in her little
ragged shawl.
Is mine once more-is mine again
Ny old rag don.
Dear relic Of my ehiIdhood-of that
happy, happy time
When life meant play and sunshine, and
every Joy was mine;
When care was all unknown to me, and
every prlgnt tomorrow
Was but an echo Of to-day! There rarely
came a sorrow,
But when my fair horizon was stirred by
sudden squaIl
There was naught that gave me comfort
like
My old rag doll
The old familiar. dirty face, with fea-
lures done in ink,
And the little faded ribbon tied with
many childish prink,
And the dusty plaid merino Of the little
time-worn gown.
And the tiny knitted stockings Ger the
shqe-tops slipping down
There on the garret floor I sat and
brooded DER them all,
And longed for that sweet childhood With
My old rag doll.
AND though ] am a woman, with a
woman's work and care,
And though l look each morning for
the silver In my hair,
And all my golden childhood is but a
happy dream,
Somehow to-day its perfect Joys a IittJe
nearer seem.
Since found her in the garrett with the
cobwebs, dust. and ali.
That dearest relic Of the past

CoRDURoYs INTRODUCED
INTO COTTON FABRICS

So many women like the velvet fin
ished corduroys that they will doubtless
be glad to see the same weave intro
duced into the cotton fabrics.
The new spring cotton corduroys much
resemble the velvet ones, though they
have not. Of course, the same brilliant
finish. There is the same cord-like weave,
however. and the cotton corduroys will
doubtless prove as good for hard service
as the other members OF the corduroy
family.
And being of cotton. and nothing to
be hurt about them, these new spring
fabrics may very easily be washed, which
will make them more useful than ever.

AN OLD ADAGE
PROVEN OFTEN TRUE

with too many irons in the fire some
win burn" This old adage often proves
too true to the busy housewife.
She has forgotten to add water to the
cooking food. and the odor Of the burn
ing meat. vegetable, or fruit reminds her
OF the fact.
When this happens, quickly seize the
pot from the range and immerse It in
vessel containing cold water.
The steam will escape from the outside
instead OF passing upward through the
food.
Place the food in another pan and con-
tinue cooking or dress to serve
The most critical person cannot detect
a burned taste in the food. This Is a suE
gestion worth trying.

OLD WISDOM TO PLEASE
THE MODERN SPNsTER

Every man is as heaven made him, and
sometimes a great deal worse.
Mans virtues are most frequently but
vices disguised.
The love Of justice in the majority of
men is simply the fear Of suffering in
justice.
True love is like ghosts. Everybody
talks about It, but few have seen It.
The gratitude of most men is but Sc
cret desire to receive greater benefits.
Man is but reed-the weakest in ma
ture. and, what is worse, he is a think
ing reed.
All men should be upright, but there is
usually woman back Of 1t when a man
is kept upright
1t is a true proverb that IL you live
with lame man you will learn to halt
Happy is the life unsmbarrassed by the
cares of love.
Most men talk one thing and think an
other.
