Renovatlnq Painting,

Often the beauty of painting is
lost because 1t is 80 thickly covered
with dust. To remedy this follow
these suggestions:
Brush the painting free from dust
and wash the canvas with water, u.s.
ing sponge. Now take piece Of
shaving soap and rub 1t over the en-
tire painting, leaving 1t on a very
short while. Scrub off with brush,
and when 1t is thoroughly dried, rub
the canvas with piece of linen which
has been dipped into benzine. Do not
use this too freely. however. If the
painting appears dull, little olive oil
will benefit this. A coat of thin, col
orless varnish is now applied. which
protects the painting and keeps It
bright for long time.

Tho lIvInu Room.

In choosing chairs for the living
room, the individual requirements Of
the members of the family should be
remembered, so that when the family
is gathered together there will be
comfortable spot for each member.
Curtains, too, should be chosen In
accordance with the needs and de-
sires of the family.
Since the living-room is always
where the privacy of home life is en-
joyed, the curtains should, II neces-
sary, serve as protection from pass
ersby. y,
On the other hand, the room will
probably require all the light possi-
BILE. A happy arrangement is often
made by having upper and lower cur
tains. Such sash curtains are made
in two tiers. and hung on two sets OF
brass rods. so that either the upper
or lower half, or both, can readily be
drawn aside.

CARE OF HOME TREASURES
Methods Of Cleaning That VIII Add to
Their Appearance and
Preservation.

To clean old pewter, experts usually
find 1t best to dip the plates and tank
ards, as the case may be, in basinful
of hot water in which soda crystals of
borax have been dissolved.
The water should be almost hotter
than the hands can bear, and the
pewter must be washed with hard
nail brush and plenty of soap. To
make 1t shine there is nothing to equal
ordinary metal polish Of reliable
make, to which few drops of petrol
cum have been added. The dishes
must then be washed in warm soap
suds and finally rubbed when dry with
powdered whiting, or while still wet
with whiting paste.
A paste of whiting, soap and milk is
the best for dust-stained alabaster or
naments. The paste must be left to
dry on, and then washed away, the
surface being then dried with cloth
and then with flannel.

PROPER CARE OF SHlRTWAIST
Attention to Details While Garment 10
Being Ironed Is Of First
Importance.

Iron the wristbands. neckband ano
any other stiff starched plaits or
bands, first on the right side, then on
the wrong side. This will give them
the desired smoothness that ironing
first on the wrong side would in some
cases destroy.
Lay the shirtwaist on the ironing
board with the neckband directly In
front of the ironer and parallel with
the front edge of the table. stretch
until smooth. and iron on the right
side until partly dry, then on the
wrong side, and finish on the right
side. Proceed in the same manner
wrong side, If possible, because 1t
gives them more nearly the appear
ance of new and prevents an unde-
sirable gloss.
When the neckband and cuffs are
finished, lay the wrist on the board
with the neck at the left hand, and
iron the fronts, then the back. 1t is
best to iron both fronts first, because
they are often trimmed, and will look
better and iron easier If not allowed
to become dry. The back, too dry.
being palmer, can be dampened with
cloth wrung from warm water.
Iron well into the gathers and until
dry. Do not iron across the seams,
but close to them on either side, then
press the seams by setting the iron
directly on them. To iron the sleeve,
fold at the seam and begin ironing at
the seam side, being careful not to
iron across the opposite fold, and thus
form a crease.
After ironing one side, loosen the
two sides by slipping the hand be
tween them, then turn the sleeve over
and iron the other side. Now put the
hand in the sleeve at the bottom and
turn 1t SO that the seam lies on the
table and the unironed strip at the
back or outside of the sleeve lies
above it.
With small iron smooth out this
portion, and, still using small iron
slip 1t inside Of the sleeve at thu
arms eye, and iron the top of tn,
: sleeve in the gathers. If possible
iron the gathered portion at the cuf
: in the same way and iron the sleeve
on the sleeve board.

| Stuffed Cucumbers No. 2-The Gu
cumbers should be of good size and
just turning yellow. Pare and halve
them crosswise, scoop out the seeds
with the handle of teaspoon and
simmer in boiling salted water for ten
minutes. A filling is made with any
cold meat on hand chopped fine,
spoonful of chopped ham, a spoonful
of fine crumbs, salt and pepper to sea-
son and enough stewed tomatoes to
moisten. Each piece is filed with
this, then placed upright in deep
pan. A cup of thin brown sauce,
mixed with tomato sauce, is poured
round them and then they are baked
for As minutes.
Stuffed Lettuce-Take five lettuce
heads. wash well in cold water shake

BOYS FIGHT MOUNTAIN LION
Set Traps to Capture Coyotes, but
Catch Lion Which Gives Them
Thrilling Battle.

Ogden, Utah.-Chased for half a
mile by monster lion, one of whose
paws dragged heavy coyote trap,
Nephi Bott, schoolboy of 13 years,
owes his life today to the quick and
unerring aim of his older brother,
whose rifle spoke just as the king of
beasts was about to leap upon his vic.
tim.
The story, which comes from farm
about three miles from Brigham City,
illustrates the fact that the wild west
still lives, and often within easy reach
of electric lights and street cars.
Nephi had ridden out to inspect
some traps which he and his 18-year-
old brother Lorenzo, had set along
the foothills to catch coyotes. Nephi
was surprised to find large noun
tain lion caught by Its right fore paw
in one Of the traps. Armed with only
a 80 rifle, the boy was sufficiently dis.

alternately tugged at the fastenings
of the trap and screamed with pain
and rage.
The lad rode back to the top Of the
hill and called for Lorenzo to brine

trapped lion. Nephi waited until hi

FOR THE HOUSE MISTRESS
ticaI Value In Conduct of Es-
tablshment.

After the rugs or carpets are cleaned
and laid on the floor the colors often
look dingy. A solution made of bits
of soap dissolved in gallon of warm
rainwater and tablespoonful Of am
monia added, If applied little at the
time with good scrubbing brush, will
brighten the colors wonderfully. Only
the top of the carpet gets wet and in
IL hours the room is ready for use.
Housekeepers who only have week
ly allowance for household expenses
sometimes find 1t a drain on their
purses to buy fruit to preserve for
winter use. II they will count the cost
Of each can or jar of fruit preserves
and jot 1t down in notebook, then as
each bottle is used through the winter
put the price of 1t in money in small
box kept for the purpose, when sum-
mer time comes money for the winters s
preserves will be in readiness.
A certain portion Of wall space in
the hallway of house where every
member of the family passed by many
times a day was reserved for changes
in decoration. There was first hung
a map Of the United States, then q
poster Of some new public building, an
inexpensive print Of some famous
painting and poster Of special inter
est, etc. This proved to be never
ending source Of interest throughout
the year.

To add to the further embarrass-

bill that has been drafted by Judge

Wyandotte county and will be intro

legislature, requires that a published
announcement of the marriage In the
official county paper be made two con
secutive weeks following the filing OF
the declaration.
Another requirement is the passage
of physical examination to ascertain
that there is no insanity or hereditary
disease on either side. Each county
is to have board of three physicians
appointed by the governor to make
the examination.
The bill has been prepared at the
request Of the Kansas Association oi

Rolled Rib Roast.

Have the backbone and ribs removed
and utilize them for making stew
for lunch. Tie the meat into round
shape and sprinkle 1t with salt and
pepper, then dredge with flour and
place in dripping pan. Have the
oven hot when the meat is first put
into It, In order that 1t may be scared
over quickly to prevent the juices
from escaping. Then reduce the heat
and baste often with the fat in the
pan. When done place on hot plat
ter and surround with riced potato.

Baked Eous.

Butter a smooth saucepan, break as
many eggs as will be needed into a
saucer, one by one; II found strictly
fresh slip each into the saucepan. No
broken yolks must be allowed, nor
must they be crowded SO as to risk
breaking the yolk after they are in.
Put a small piece Of butter on each
and sprinkle with pepper and salt.
Set into a well heated oven, bake till
the whites are set. II the oven is
rightly heated, 1t will take but a few
minutes and the cooking will be far
more delicate than fried eggs.

you want clean paper slip the edge
of a knife along the fold of the outer
sheet and remove the soiled top. The
