Be Taken In Laundry.

Not every woman takes the same
pride In her linen chest as did her
sisters Of the past. She gazed with
rapturous pleasure upon the neatly
piled tablecloths and napkins and
well-assorted doilles and centerpieces,
Every housewife aimed TO collect a
goodly supply OF table linen Circum-
stances only governed her limitations.
Where some women purchased twenty
Of one article, another would make a
half dozen answer.
While the woman Of today does not
stock up linen for future generations,
she should show taste and discrimlna-
ton In the selection of her household

II is impossible to regulate the guam.
tity Of table linen needed in each
household. Few can get along with
less than half a dozen tablecloths, a
dozen napkins, half a dozen luncheon
cloths of varying degrees of elaborate
ness, tray cloths, doilies and center
pieces.
Two grades of linen should be pro
Vided for everyday and best wear.
Each should be the best In its class.
Economy in linens does not pay in
the long run.
Keep your supply over rather than
below the limit. It strains the purse.
strings unnecessarily to replenish
many articles at the same time. An
excellent plan is to lay aside a small
sum each week or month for this pur-
pose. Do not walt for a tablecloth to
actually wear out before buying a new
one.
The wise woman will take advantage
Of the linen sales, when soiled linens
of an excellent quality may be had far
below the original price. This prevents
undue financial pressure when new
linen is required.
Linens should be handled carefully
Never fold a tablecloth in the same
manner twice in succession.
This has a tendency to make tn,

Crumbs should be removed with {

possibly, the article which is acting as
support may be required, and this
means an interruption which is not al
ways agreeable, especially so when
the time for reading is perhaps very
limited.
For making the simple table book
rest shown in the accompanying
sketch, no knowledge of carpentry is
necessary, as it merely consists of
three pieces of wood joined togeth-
er with nails or screws and a loop of
elastic fastened across the front I'M

slipped and held in its place. About
twelve inches in length and nine or
ten inches in height, is a good size in

recommend IS per cent, but we have
found 10 per cent efficient in killing
the mites.
Kerosene used on the roost once
a week in hot weather will help to
keep down both mites and lice. If
put on a short time before the hens
go to roost, some of it will get on
the feathers and will kill and drive
away lice. Care must be taken not
to get toe much on the fowls, or 1t

the hens from laying just as much as
the lice will

II is quite possible to have the best
poultry kept in well-built houses, well
fed, and still not get any profit or

cases where a good start has been
made the house is neglected and al
