that this device does not in itself
enable one to telephone without first
connecting it with the general tele-
phone system.
On every street, however, contact
places have been provided at very
short distances. They are fastened
TO walls, doors, trees, lampposts or
other convenient places. They are
tightly enclosed, SO that neither hu.
midity nor storms can damage them,
and they are thoroughly insulated.
The advantage of the coutriyance
as far as the telephone user is con-

A mother wishing to make her little

ing plan:
Each morning she would write upon
a blackboard a list of twenty OF more
duties for the day-washing dishes,
sweeping. busting, making beds, etc.
A quarter of these We're little things
that even the tive-year-old boy could
do like bringing in kindling or giving
the hens water. Each girl in turn
selected one duty, placing her initials
after it. AS soon as a duty was COM
pleted it was erased from the board
At first the most difficult work fell
to mother. but soon even the hard
tasks We're being selected by the daugh-
ters until they all became proficient in

tiers, but also served to prevent shirk-

Woman and the Home Sphere
ON YOUR BAKING DAY.

Light, tender doughputs are made
with cupful of sugar, teaspoonful
of butter, two eggs and a cupful of
milk. Mix i'll scant pint OF -four
that has been sifted, with two round
ing teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
making a paste that is soft Stand the
bowl containing it on the ice until it
is very cold and then roll it out and
fry before it loses it's shape The idea
is to make the paste little softer
than can be rolled before it is stiff
with cold and so to use as little flour
as possible. The doughnuts should be
turned continually while frying.
There is an old fashioned cake which
is possible if one has at hand cupful
of sour cream. Cream the yollls of
three eggs with cupful of sugar and
when the mixture is light beat in
cupful of cream in which has been
dissolved scant teaspoonful of soda.
Then add Il pint of flour, little salt
and a teaspoonful of lemon extract
Bake in an oblong shallow tin.
Bread and cake should be cooled as
soon as they come from the oven. 1t
is mistake to turn bread and cake
out on the bread board and then cover
with cloth. Instead have bread
and cake cooler, which can be made
at small cost. Buy about two feet of
rather fine heavy fence wire and get
the tin man to turn down on each end
about four inches of the wire and bind
the ends with tin to prevent their
scratching everything with which they
come in contact. There could not be
better cover for cake and bread.

NEW RECIPE FOR BEAUTY.
Do Not Laugh if You Wish to Remain
Youno

Do Not Laugh if You Wish to Remain
Young.
A new plan for attaining or retain
ing beauty comes out on the average
once week, and some OF the sugges-
tionS are sufficiently weird, but one
recently offered has certainly not been
surpassed in Strangeness. says the New
York Times London correspondent.
1t is simply that the person who de-
sires to remain young should refrain
from laughter You must, according
to a lady who described the system,
choose between looks and laughter.
The two cannot so together. Laugh
ing lines wrinkles the face.
There has lately sprung up in Lon
don n set of eXpressionless women"
she added. These women-there are
from fifty to eighty of them at the
moment-steadily refuse to laugh at
anything. They are all, more or less,
age-and it is their daily belief that
by refraining from laughing they are
retaining their looks.

face from smiling. 4 haven't laughed

nearest approach of JOY which she
permits herself; also she avoids all

For example, she began to pour
tea and then, apparently remembering
that even this might cause some ex-
preston to come into her face, sud
denly stopped and ordered a manserv-
ant to do it for her. "A woman can
keep ten years off her face by avoid
ing doing things like that she ex-
planned.

GERANIUM AS A BAROMETER.
II Will Indicate Whether Living Cond-
ton of Room is Sanitary.

Experiments carried out by Louis
Withhold and Professor William Albert
Locy of Northwestern university show
that a growing plant is barometer of
the living conditions of room and
none more so than the old fashioned
geranium. Almost all kinds of plants
require the same things to sustain life
as human beings, but show lack of
these necessities quicker so that their
ill health and whiting may give warn
ing of the unhealthy living condition
of room
In order to live a plant must have
water, of course, and light in most
cases. but few realize that it must have
air to breathe as we'll, for there is res
piration i'm plants as we'll as in human
beings. Plants breathe the air through
the leaves, and much of their susie
nance comes from that medium. If the
air i'll room is too dry, as in most
steam heated rooms. there is difficulty
in making some plants live. The air
lacks something that they must have
and that is just as necessary to human
life.
Ferns, roses and geraniums are SEN
sitive. The atmosphere in which a
geranium will not live is not fit for
human beings.

1t Is Selfish to Keep Them Prisoners

~ 10 SeIHsH 20 NeeP mem Prisoners
For Amusement.
If you keep any pets remember to
attend to their wants regularly. Do
not forget to feed and keep clean any
animal you cage, or, better still, refuse
to keep any animal or bird in a cage.
1t is most selfish to keep any pet
merely to hear it sing or because it
amuses you to watch its vain endeav-
ors to escape. Remember how you
feel when illness keeps you confined,
perhaps to one room, and then you
will understand in small way what

wood, must feel like when Gagged and
