All vegetables should be put to cook
in boiling water We read every now
and then, in supposedly reliable pa
pers, that vegetables put to cook in
boiling water will become tasteless.
Tastes differ. but principles should be
followed in even the cooking of vege-
tables. Some people may like wet,
soggy potatoes; but that does not
make them wholesome.
When baking beans, use a few
small brown mustard cups for a por-
ton, with bit of pork on top. Such
a dish makes a pleasing change for
the lunch basket.
When cleaning spots on a garment
place a blotter under the. spot before
applying the gasoline, then rub until
clean and dry and there will be no
rings left on the cloth.
Raisins cut in halves make a nice
addition to a fruit salad.
When making icing and meringue,
use a revolving egg beaten, as it
makes firm, finer-grained texture
than fiat whip. The meringue If full
of large holes is not so attractive,
and is more apt to fall after baking
When beating whites for a cake, we
use a fat whip, as we want as much
air in the egg as possible, to hold up
the dough and make it light.
Any cream or chicken soup is i'm

Age, If Scientific Investigations

seems to conduce to longevity. There
are gigantic mussels and oysters
whose age is assumed to be compar-
able only with that of the Cape Verde

reason why mussels should ever die,
though it Is also true that, consider
ing the sort of life mussel leads,
there seems no particular reason why
II should ever have lived.

WATER FOUNTAIN
FOR HONEY BEES
Neglect to Provide Drink Is as
CuIpable as to Cut Off Their
Food Supply.

We take pleasure in kindness in va
rious ways to the higher domestic an
finals, we'll knowing that there is profit
in this humane treatment, but that it
should extend to the bees may come
as new thought to many.
Neglect to provide drink is as cul-
pable as to cut off the food supply
and yet the bees are in, many In
stances, wholly disregarded in this
respect.
Yet the insects pluckily shift for
themselves in such cases, and they
may be found congregated about the
vilest spots, II they happen to contain
moisture, not because they do not pre-
fer pure water but because 1t is not
convenient to obtain.
You may have noticed how they in
variably flock about the watering
trough, II it happens to stand in the
neighborhood OF the hives, showing
plainly that water is necessary, and
can you fail to appreciate how many
are drowned in this effort to get a
drink?
A fountain for their special accom-
mediation is so easily made that it is
really wicked as well as wasteful to
neglect it. Cover a pan or other shall
low dish with wire screen cloth and
keep the dish filled with water, plac-
ing 1t in shady place where 1t will
keep as cool as possible. The bees
can get the moisture through the
screen and yet there is no possibility
OF their drowning.
Another hardship through pure neg
lect, and one which often results dis
astrously, is failure to keep the
grass moved In front of the hives.
How would you like to have such an
obstacle in your path when coming
home tired and heavily laden?
Ease and convenience applied to the
work of every helper is not without it's
reward.
