Yet, as you write from California. the fruit may be still in hand. In any case, l hope the formula will be contributed by some able housewife. It will be as good for. next year as for this.

Washing White Silk Gloves

Tn the Helping Hand Corner few weeks ago l saw where some one wanted to know how to wash white silk gloves. I will tell you how ] wash mine. found out for myself. Wash with naphtha soap in cold water, rubbing them on a wash board. Rinse in blued water, and dry in the shade. The sun yellows them. Mine are as nice and white as when I bought them.
 If you have a recipe for tartar sauce will you please mail 1t to me in stamped and self addressed envelope? If you have not got it. and you have to apply to the Corner, you may use the stamp for some one who does not send one to you.
 MRS. II. F." As told you respectfully, l cannot mail recipes to any one. I trust it is not too late for you to benefit by that print be- low. You have more than earned it by your advice anent washing gloves.
 Sauce Tartare-Beat into a cupful of drawn butter teaspoonful of French mustard, half a teaspoonful of onion juice, pinch of cayenne and one of salt, a heaping teaspoonful of finely minced pickle, or the juice of lemon, and when these are mixed the beaten yolk of an egg. Whip hard for two minutes

Canned Rhubarb

Select medium sized stalks of rhubarb and cut them long enough to fit. stand ing on end in a fruit jar. Put them into a glass jar. filling this. but not packing tightly enough to bruise. Put the jar under the cold water faucet and let the water run in slowly until it over1ows and until there is not a bubble to be seen in the jar and until no more bubbles form. Then. while the jar is still oyerflowing, cover and seal. Keep the jars in dark place, so that the contents will not lose their color.-Kindness of Reader

A Time Saver

"To save the tedium of threading ribbon into lingerie, try the following plan: When drawing out ribbons from soiled lingerie fasten a narrow tape or string to the far ther end of ribbon. Then, as fast as the ribbon leaves, the tape. of course, fills in. When the garment has been laundered repeat the process, only fastening the rib bon to the end of the tape. When the tape is drawn out the ribbon will be found in place. F. P. M"
 A capital idea that should save many minutes and much temper for the wearers of dainty lingerie. The ribbons are pretty and indispensable to the comeliness of the garment. But time and patience are re- quisite on the days set for restoring them to place, after the laundress has done her part of the work

NO REASON
 FOR DOUBT As to the Merits of Cardui, the Woman's Tonic, in View of
 Such Evidence

Teoumseh, okla.--In a letter from this town. Mrs. Elisa Epperson says: q do believe that if it hadn't been for cardui. the woman's tonic, I wouldn't have been living today.
 am so glad that I began taking Car dui when did Before I began using if I was in bad health and suffered con siderable pain in head, shoulders, back side. limbs and lower part of my body.
 cardui helped me more than anything I ever did take. and I am in better health since taking it than have been in four (D years.
 I shall never be without cardui, the woman's tonic, in my home, and will always recommend it to other ladies'"
 Can you doubt the merit of Cardui after reading the above letter? This Is only one of many that we receive each year. Such testimony, from earnest women, surely proves the great value of this tonic medicine for the ailments peculiar to their sex.
 Cardui acts on the weakened woman ly organs. It helps to refresh the wornout nerves. and is the ideal medl- cine for young and old.
 As tonic for women it has brought remarkable results.
 As remedy for woman's ills, it's friends say it has no equal.

About Freezing Ice Cream

eYoq have helped others. so l turn to you for help. What causes the cream to separate into butter when I am freez- ing ice cream? This has happened to me twice in succession. The first time we froze it turning it very slowly; the second time very fast with the same result.
 T used one quart of cream, custard oi a quart of milk and four eggs, cupful oi sugar, and three tablespoonfuls of corn starch; the whites of eggs. beaten to a stiff froth; the cream added last.
 ICE CREAM" I put the same question to a confec- tioner once, who advised me to stir iIt- tie soda-a mere pinch-into the cream before freezing it. He added: We can boil cream without curdling it if the soda be stirred in.p The separation into clots is caused by the acidity lurking in cream that is not perfectly fresh, or, as our mothers said. "on the turn" The pinch of baking soda corrects this and prevents ourdling.

tempt Of court by the Supreme Court
of the District Of Columbia, in con-
nection with the courts injunction

tice of an intention to file an appeal
to have the Supreme Court review

In Its previous review Of the case

were at once begun. The sentences

BULL DOGS A rTACKED CHILD.
Curly Haired Vagabond Had Narrow
Escape from Death.
(Greenville News, 27th.) }

Frank Killian, curly haired lit
tie urchin, twelve years old, but eX-
tremely small for his age, was set
upon by three ferocious bull dogs at
$50 o'clock yesterday afternoon in
the yard of G.. e. Cooke, los West
Washington street, and but for the
hoToisni cs Mrs. Cooke, in thro w.a5
herself upon the boys body and
shielding his face and throat from
the swapping fangs of the animals,
would undoubtedly have been killed.
Dr.. Anthony White was called to
attend the wounded child, and he
bandaged some twelve or fifteen ugly
gashes in the little fellows arms,
legs and thighs. Mrs. Cooke pur-
chased the boy new suit Of clothes
for the dogs left but little of those
he wore-called hack and sent him
to his home at the Woodside mill vii
lage. According to latest reports the
child was resting we'll.
A representative Of the News was
near the scene of the incident when
it occurred and secured the facts rel
ative to the matter from Mrs. Cooke.
She and friend were seated on the
rear porch Of the Cooke home when
they noticed a small boy open the
back fence gate and proceed toward
the house. The child crossed the
yard without the three dogs, which
were lying close to Mrs. Cooke, TAX
ing any notice Of him. AS he was
within about two steps Of the door
steps OF the rear porch, however, the
three dogs sprang at him quick as a
Hash and began gnashing his body
with their fangs
Mrs. Cooke rushed into the yard
and attempted to beat the dogs away
from the child, but they were not to
he covered. When she saw that she
was helpless to rescue the boy she
threw herself bodily upon him and
bore him to the ground. The little
fellow is SO small Mrs. Cookies body
protected him well from the dogs
She took particular pains. however,
to cover the child's head and throat,
for she realized that should one Of
the dogs close his jaws upon his neck
Mrs. Cooke called to her friend to
pull the dogs off, but this lady could
do but little with the animals.
About that time some passersby
were called into the yard, and one Of
the men succeeded in twisting one Of
the dogs loose. The animal slipped
his collar over his head, however, and
renewed the attack. Mrs. Cookies
garments were considerably torn in
the melee, but she was not bitten.
After so long while the dogs were
gotten loose from the child and the
little fellow rushed over to a drug
store. DR.. Anthony White was call
ed and dressed something like fif-
teen wounds In the childs body.
Some of the wounds were very severe,
the flesh being lacerated as with a
knife. Some Of the gashes were as
much as an inch or an inch and a half
long and very deep.
Mrs. Cooke stated that she keeps
the dogs as Il protection, as Mr..
