BLuEeELrs EXPLANATION.

Dear Editor, Brothers and Sisters
of the Social Corner: Now my ink
has got thawed out, guess will write
again.
What has become Of Ready2 sis-
cerely hope you are not sick, for we
miss your CHEEKY letters.
Aunt julie: While soda Is good for
a burn, 1 think castor oil good ap
piled to a burn to cover it all over.
Do not cover with cloth or anything.
The oil keeps the air away; it also
draws the fire out; and a severe burn
will begin to feel easier in a few
minutes. / always keep bottle handy
in case Of emergency.
1 have thought of the shut-ins thit
severe cold weather and hope they
were comfortable.
Now, Grille, If am the Bluebell ,cU
speak of, you are surely forgiven. /
hope you did not feel bad about 1t, for
the Social Corner is a happy place.
Grandma; I shall look for 20 IT
sprig of ivy at the Woedbox social.
Cornflower: Shall try your apron
pattern-think it is a nice way to use
UP leftover pieces.
Did any of the readers ever try
one-piece pants for little boys? Take
straight piece of cloth, fold so LhS
edges meet in the center of front, then
cut off the desired length, and cut
out the inside of legs to seat; and
using a piece of that, face the fronts
for button and buttonholes. Put a
binding around the waist fer buttons,
or face the cloth, as you wish, and
you will be surprised what a nice pair
| Of pants you can make out Of a small
piece of cloth.
Centennial Square: Many thanks
fO hno hon
| it: and where can you buy the fireless
cookers? Am very much interested;
hope you will write more about Il.
am much interested in the boom
for Norwich Thermos bottles. l hope
it comes there. What a godsend those
| bottles will be for men Ike r. +. D.
carriers out in the cold, and thousands
| Of others who need and can. have 3
nice home made hot drink with them
all the time; and will not want to go
| into the saloon and get warmed up.
Why don't some Of the women help
canvass for that $4,000, especially
those wearing the white ribbons?
| Where are the Changers? Wake up,
farmers, the more help employed, tho
more milk and farm produce needed.
Where are the Norwich p of H. that
| they don't take a share? Hope none
| of the Changers Will be like some of
| the representatives sent to Hartford
! to help make laws to help the farm
| ers; go for an auto ride to look a;
fields of alfalfa while some bill i5
| being passed to put down the farm :
| er's right by their works you shall
know them" the good book says.
What good does it do the farmer3 10
| vote for some man to work for their
good in making laws, but when the
| glittering light ia put before them, the
| good cause they are to represent is
! forgotten and conditions are created
worse than before. Then many won
| der what makes times so hard and
why 1t costs so much to live.
Just wait until the women vote.
| The state will take care of their deer,
| and they won't run over all the farms,
| eating up grass that Is needed for cat
| tie in the winter; and eating all tae
| choice garden produce, peas, beans.
carrots, melons, etc, the farmer is
counting on to support his large fam
| lily when sold; and eat his peach trees
and ruin them after he has paid good
| prices for them and cared for them
so tenderly until bearing time to go
| out and find fifteen or twenty deer
eating the branches and his trees ruin
ed and get no pay; but he can shoot
all the deer with shotgun and IL he
kills one the warden comes and sends
the carcass to some charitable insti-
tuition. Where does the farmers prof
it come in? Wake up, P. of H, and
down that law, and let the state keep
| its own stock and grain and the
farmers can be happy again, raise
| their own hay and grain. / would like
to hear what some of the other So
cial Corner writers think about this
subject. Wishing you all health ~
happiness, / remain. your friend,
