STRIPED MATERIALS ARE !:
POPULAR THIS SUMNER

STRIPED materials this summer are
in fashionable favor. AS a rule.
stripes are more becoming than figured
designs or even plain fabrics. for they
give length and slenderness. the two
most sought after effects this season.
There is no hard and fast rule as to the
size of the stripe and it is astonishing
how many different widths there are in
the seasons materials. Often differ
ent widths Of them are used In the
same gown.
Black and white Is most effective,
but there are also colored stripes that
are smart which are in one tone of
color. but in different shades, or two
completely contrasting colors that UNI
til now would never be thought posi-
BILE for the same pattern. Two shades
of color in blue. in cerise. in green and
yellow are among the novelties that
have worked out we'll
Striped foulard silks are among the
favorites this summer, the white and
black and the black and white being
the most liked. The white and black.
as can be easily understood, looks
much lighter than the black with white
stripe. One advantage in favor of
striped silks is that the material re-
quires little trimming, for the stripes
in themselves are so effective that
there is no monotony. and the rule is
to use the material in such manner
that these stripes can be put on at
right angles with each other in bands
or folds. Occasionally-and this is one
of the very newest fads-voile or mar
quisette is combined with striped fou-
lard. 1t Is a charming combination
when cleverly carried out

PINEAPPLE is good for indigestion
the juice containing a digestive
fluid similar to pepsin.
Save your lemon rinds, dry them in
the oven and store them in an air tight

pie gives it a delicious havoring.

% Cake Care Of Beds and Beddlnq

TO keep good health it is very neces-
sary to sleep well and comfortably
so every housewife should make
point of attending carefully to the bed
ding.
If the mattresses have become hard
and bumpy. the buttoning loose or the
ticking very soiled, they should be sent
to the shop to be made over.
In ordinary cases, where it is possible.
take the mattress out of doors and lay
1t over line, beating thoroughly on
each side with carpet beaten.
Then spread some newspapers on the
ground and lay the mattress fiat upon
lit and with fairly stiff brush remove
all the dust and fluff" collected under
the leather disks which button 1t down.
finally brushing all round the edges
where 1t is bound.
Pillows should be beaten In the same
way. and to keep the tick clean and in
good condition try sewing over the pill
low an old FELLOWSHIP which may be re-
moved as soon as it becomes soiled. In
spite of having the ordinary FELLOWSHIP
over 1t. Ii is surprising how soiied the
undercover becomes. while 1t is far
easier to wash this than to clean the
whole pillow.
Whether you use iron or wooden bed
steads, they should be thoroughly look
ed over every spring and cleaned by
wiping with damp cloth wrung out of
warm water. Take plenty of time over
this work and attack every crevice and
corner where dust is likely to settle.

THE VALUE OF FIRElESS
COOKERS

A FTRELESS cooker is invaluable to
housekeeper. especially in hot
weather. The cookers are now so per-
feet and inexpensive the woman who
does not own one is decidedly at a dis
advantage when labor saving methods
are considered. Cooking during op-
pressive heat in summer Is avoided.
Foods can be started at a convenient
moment and yet be in readiness for the
most urgent. Healthful foods reQuir-
ing long cooking are made practicable
for the daily menu. and the weight of
the cooked product from a pound OF
raw material is much increased.
The fsreless cooker is splendid for the
cheaper cuts of meat Since tough
meat should cook for long time at a
low temperature the cooker Is a most
excellent medium for this purpose.
Stews and so called boiled meats seem
to have a better flavor when cooked in
the cooker than when cooked on the
stove. Beef, mutton and lamb cooked
in this way may be served as praised
meat as stew, as minced meat warm
ed in liquor and served on toast, as
wet, dry and Drowned hash, as meat
pie, meat turnover and other ways In
which cooked meats are reheated. Five
pounds of meat could be served for
Two IN ten Q1IerenL ways, serving nalI
pound at each meal
Excellent soup can be made from the
leftover carcass of fowl from the
neck piece of lamb or from any left
over beef bones and scraps OF beef
Place in the kettle of the flreless cook
er. cover with cold water. place on the
stove and bring slowly to a boil, then
put in the cooker overnight In the
morning remove the meat and bones
and use the liquor or stock. to be re-
heated and Favored according to the
style of soup desired.
Breakfast cereals are the most
abused foods in ordinary cookery.
Rarely do they receive the long, slow
cooking which their nature demands
because of the early rising this would
necessitate. The fireless method de-
livers the full value of the nutrients
with minimum dependence upon the
cook.
Fruit is ofttimes serious problem
on account Of expense. The fireless
method makes available many dried
and evaporated fruits which can be
obtained reasonably at all seasons
Delicious compounds can be made
which rival the best preserves in ap-
pearance and flavor in no respect
suggesting those usually served or the
insipid canned products. Each shriv-
eled piece swells to its original size,
unbroken. distended, with juicy, aro-
matte liquor and charged with the fla
vors which characterize the fruit in it's
prime state.

loosen it. making the half moon at the
base more noticeable
Red hands are often due to other
causes than those directly influenced
by the weather Sometimes they are
caused by wearing gloves which are a
trife too small and at others by flow
of blood to the hands. When the lat
ter is the case it will be best to exer-
else the hands by working them back
ward and forward from the wrist This
will restore the circulation to it's nor
NAL state and the redness will disap-
pear. When tight gloves are respon-
sible for the redness the remedy nat
urally lies in discarding them. Some
women imagine that small glove
makes the hand appear smaller. This
is by no means the case Loosely fit
ting gloves are not only better for the
hands, but give them a small effect sc
long as they are not extremely large
and are much more comfortable in
warm weather.
To remove tan from the hands g
cream should be applied at night and
gloves about three sizes too large worn
for a couple of weeks To make g
cream take two ounces of CASTLE soap
two ounces of olive OIL one ounce OF
mutton suet and one ounce of alco-
hol.
Melt the soap after shredding It into
small pieces. then melt the suet, clari-
fy it and add to the soap. warm the
oil and add this next, and finally the
alcohol. beating all together to 6

DURING the summer months the wo-
man who is anxious to have really
pretty hands will find her best chance
to beautify them.
True, there is the possibility of freck-

pensive lotion either of these can be
warded off and the redness and rough
ness caused by the sharp winds of
summer quickly removed. leaving the
hands white and soft. with dainty

To remove freckles from the hands a
lotion can be made up for a few cents
at home by mixing one-hah ounce each

with one and one-half ounces of
strained lemon juice This should be
applied with a small sponge to the
backs of the hands several times dur
ing the day and at night and a busting

dried on the skin.
During the summer months the girl
whose hands freclSle easily should ap-
ply this lotion every morning and
night and so eradicate the harm done
each day BY doing this she will keep
her hands in perfect condition during
the whole season
