Gift for Friends Mother

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII 1t be proper for me to give a
Thanksgiving gift to a young mans
mother, whom I have visited several
times? If SO, will you kindly name
some? Thank you. NJ. N.
Indeed. | think it would be very
thoughtful or your part to send your
friends mother a gift. As she has
entertained you several times 1t will
show her your appreciation of her
hospitality. Older people value such
attentions from younger ones, but ]
am sorry to say the latter are some
times careless about bestowing them.
1 really hesitate about suggesting
gifts, as you who are familiar with
her habits can make a wiser selec-
ton than an outsider car. Is she
fond of reading? If so, get a nicely
bound copy of some good book. May
be she would enjoy caring for a palm
or fern. If you are handy with your
needle there are scores of things both
personal and for the house that you
car make. A pretty piece of china or
cut glass will also be appropriate. As
far as possible follow the recipients
taste when you r making a gift
and you will be sure that 1T will al
ways please.

WORTH KNOWING

A sufferer from flea invasion writes
that feas may be dispersed by the use
of tar camphor fakes ~sprinkled In
infected places.
In filling a cake pan 1t is well to
remember that the centre of the cake
is the part which will usually be the
highest, so spread the batter as much
to the sides as possible, leaving a
depression in the centre, then the
cake when baked will be level.
When baking or s%calloping potatoes
chops a be baked in a pan in the
oven, steak broiled underneath or
pudding or pie cooked at the same
time. 1t saves gas.
A cheap and durable toaster for a
a stove is a piece Of sheet iron.
Over this a five-cent wire toaster can
be used without danger Of burning or
blackening the bread.
To starch black lawns, boil two
quarts of wheat bran in six quarts of
water for fifteen minutes. let 1t cool
and then strain. No soap is neces-
sary when this is used, as it both
cleanses and stlffens.

a practical fact this is and how easily

work Is being greatly used on chill

embroidery, could be used rows OF

1t is impossible to make distinc-
tion between the course of our lives
and the course of our thoughts. But
both are subject to change, sudden
and unexpected. There are turning
points in our characters no less than
in our career. and often the two are
so closely related that they cannot
be considered apart. 1t is worth
while sometimes to trace back to
their source our ideas and impress
sions, our new lines of thought. So
much we owe to training, so much to
elected study and chosen companion
ship, SO much to the lessons and ex-
periences of the life we are leading.

that what has most deeply moved you.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
New Plant Now in Operation---WilI
Civ Service At Once.

Richfield now has electric lights.
The new plant was tried out, on
Thursday, and worked SO well that
lights were furnished for the hotel
that night So far as can be seen
at present, the service is going to
be very good indeed.
Manager Kaysf is about ready to
announce rate for lights, and his
estimate will make electricity the
cheapest thing in town. The serv-
ice will not be constant, but will be-
gin in the early evening and run
until midnight, and then perhaps for
an hour or two of mornings during
the winter. A flat rate will be CIV
en-, without putting in meters, as the
short service and the easy inspec-
tion will make it easy to see that
no imposition is attempted on the
part of consumers.
The company has an electrician
here, who will attend to wiring of
buildings where service is desired.
Richfield is now on the electrical
map of the world.
