Good Hints.

Have you a wire frying basket
Put your tomatoes in 1t the next time
they are to be skinned and plunged
into deep kettle Of boiling water.
There is no danger by this method
of getting them water-soaked.
Keep milk, butter and eggs all close
ly covered on one side Of the refrig-
orator. and reserve the other for vege-
tables, leftovers from the table and
other odorous provisions.
Don't throw away the paraffin from
jelly and marmalade. Wash each piece
and save IT, Boil the accumulation
and there will be clean paraffin for next
Jelly time.

vance in it's value will counter-bal-
ance it's depreciation.
by means of this method of home
buying an astonishing number of fam
lilies are working up every year from
the renting to the home owning class.
A great many have purchased two
or three different homes by these
methods, starting in with a small in
expensive cottage, and as the needs
of the family grew larger have sold
the smaller house, using the money
so received as first payment on the
larger, more costly structure.
This is probably the ideal method
of saving money through home build
ing, for, at the end of twenty or TWEEN
ty-five years, really fine property
has been acquired Each one of the
series of homes has been adequate to
the needs of the family at that time
and all the way through no extra saw
ing was needed in addition to the or
binary monthly rent.

suitable for the house to begin

CRANBERRY SAUCE AND JELLY
Best Way to Prepare Them for Those
Who Like This condIment With
Their Birds.

Cranberries are in the market now,
and there are many who prefer their
tart sweetness to any other sauce
with birds, says q New York Sun
writer They are best when jellied.
and should never be sent to the table
in any form without being strained
free of skins. An excellent way to
jelly these berries 30 that their deli
cacy and crisp flavor shall be pre-
served Is the following:
Pick over and wash two quarts Of
cranberries; put them in a saucepan
with cold water. Stew the fruit over
a slow fire until 1t may be pressed
through a fine sieve. To each pint Of
the pulp add a pound of fine white
sugar; then place over the fire to boil,
stirring briskly for about fifteen min
utes or until the jelly thickens on a
cool saucer. Then pour in molds and
let 1t stand till firm.
This jelly is also an ideal accom-
paniment for the broiled or planked
spring turkey or guinea fowl. The
birds are at their very best now when
they are small and young. They
should be we'll buttered and bits OF
bacon pinned over them for either
planking or broiling. Very hot plates
and plenty of best quality butter are
necessary for the perfect service of
birds.

There is no question about it that the

easiest method of making a real saw

who is paying out $25, $50, or $35 ev-

be more easily accomplished.

most every locality, especially in the
suburbs adjacent to our large cities,
there are real estate operators who
will build exactly as the home buyer
desires, according to his plans. Pos

a comparatively small amount down
and a monthly payment thereafter no
larger than would be paid out as rent
for the same house.
The only difference between rent

plan, is that after seven or eight
years the man has in one case a bun

his money and in the other case a
deed to the property.

a growing community, the natural ad.
