Dear Editor and Sisters: I come again with few helpful suggestions:
 Rice Crocuettes: Take leftover rice and add l well beaten egg and enough flour to shape into balls; roll in flour and fry in hot lard.
 When boiling milk, sauces or any, thing that is liable to burn, place . large, clean marble in the kettle. It will automatically do the string dur ing the cooking process. It saves time standing stirring with 8 spoon. If the cream gives out at the wrong moment, try beating together the white of one egg and a teaspoon of sugar in teaspoon of cold water; put the cold mixture in the cups before pour ing in the coffee.
 When baking cake or bread. be care- full and close the oven door gently, as slamming the door will cause such things to fall, therefore be heavy. When cold beef is left over, cut in small pieces and boil together with a few pota toes; add little green corn; season we'll with salt and pepper; put in a pudding dish with a good rich biscuit crust over the top, and bake. 1 Always have a good opening in the | middle of such pie crust. To frost a cake evenly to the very edge and Irevent the icing from run ming down the sides, double a piece of stiff paper and pin 1t about the cake closely, letting the band come about 1-2 an inch above the top of the cake. Spread on the icing evenly; do not remove the paper until icing is set. Boiled frosting may be put on in this way, while quite warm.
 If cheese is wrapped in cloth mois- tened with vinegar it will keep better and neither mould nor dry up.
 When a door sticks from the top press down on the knob; when it sticks from the bottom. lift up on the knob
 and see how much easier the door will
 open.
 A faded dress can be made entirely | white, by boiling it in water in which 1-2 cup of cream tartar has been add
 ed to two gallons of water.
 To cut bias bands easy, cut the ma terial on the bias, draw straight lines l across it. also on the bias, with a pencil, or a piece of chalk. When this
 is done, join the bias ends together
 so that the ruled lines meet, and stitch
 Press the seam open and begin tC
 cut on the ruled lines, around anG
 around. The result will be one long bias strip.
 To save the elastic in children's blouses which cost sometimes as muct
 as the material for the blouses, take
 piece of tape. or selvage four inches
 less than the size of the childs waist ! Cut tape in half, insert four inches
 of elastic, put the tape with the elas. : tic in the center of blouse, draw 1T the usual way.
 Add coffee to the rinsing water when washing ecru curtains to pre-. serve their original color. BIuing added to the boiling wate, will help to keep the clothes white
 IL stained, add one tablespoon oxalit acid to boiler of clothes. Always dissolve soap powder in ho
 water when using.
 In using plaster of paris to fill il
 cracks in plaster, use vinegar to mi. | with instead of water-it won't set fo 20 or 30 minutes.
 5 A weak alum bath is good for ten ] der feet.
 To keep lamp chmneys from dis colored spots never light matches ove them.
