HOW TO USE CANNED GOODS

1T seems almost unnecessary to offer
instruction upon this subject, but
there are so many persons who tempt
ptomaine poisoning in their misuse Of
canned goods that little talk may not
come amiss.
The can should be carefully opened
with a sharp can opener and the en-
tire top removed II the contents are in
large pieces. This removing OF the en-
tire top gives a better chance TO look
for plugged up holes. which can be
easily detected on the inside Of the
can.
The contents OF the can should be at
once poured out. as the action OF the
air on the lacquer inside of the can
produces q chemical change, which
may result in ptomaine poisoning. But
the contents should not be covered.
They should be allowed for at least
half an hour to get back from the air
some OF the oxygen they have lost in
the canning process.
Plenty OF milk OF butter should be
used in the cooking OF canned vege-
tables. since they naturally lack the
nufr,mcnt Of fresh products. Il is well
20 remember that they are only sub
stituJes. even though very convenient
and satisfactory ones.

The slightest change in the angle at
which the hat is worn or in the style
OF the arrangement OF the trimming is
often sufficient to make the hat be-
coming or unbecoming. as the case may
be. though otherwise there is no rule
to govern the way this springs outfit
shall be posed beyond the fact that II
should sit comfortably down over the
head. After that IT Is entirely an in
dividual matter.
one OF the hats pictured is OF black
milan braid, with a delicious shade OF
rose ribbon draped about the small up
turned brim. A propeller bow" Of
the same ribbon hangs out gayly at the
back. A wreath OF tiny shaded pink
roses completes the pretty chapeau.
The derby shaped hat Is also trim
med with a band Of handsome lowered
ribbon. with a knot OF the ribbon to
support the high outstanding black
quilts.
The creation with satin brim and soft
straw crown is very smart ornamented

A VANITY HINT

1 LARGE square sachet for madam's
lingerie, made of white organdle
and hlled with Egyptian potpourrI, -
one OF the latest accessories OF the
toilet The odor of the potpourri IS
not strong and reminds one OF the old
fashioned variety which belonged TO
our grauumothers' rose Jars. These
sachets are priced in the shops at $50.
but a sachct could be made in an hour
or SO at home.
Another delightful accessory OF the
toilet table rs an adjustable atomizer
that VIII lit any bottle. Such atom
izers are made of French gilt and have
a rubber bulb and metal stem. TO use
them the cork is removed from the
bottle of toilet water or perfume, and
the atunizer is inserted in its place.
When one has sprayed the perfume on
ones hair or kcrChief, as the case may
be the atom!zer is Withdrawn from the
bottle and the cork Is replaced.
THIS is very useful and practical
possession. better than the ordinary
bottle atomizer. for the scent does not
evaporate by standing, and one may
change from one kind TO another
without pouring the fluid out. AS
either perfume or toilet water may be-
used in the same atOmizer it is really
an economical investment

THE CHARM OF STENCILINC

To prepare your material for stencil
ing first lay several sheets of blotting
paper on the surface of the table and
arrange the material over them, using
drawing pins TO hold II in position.
Place the stencil plate over the ma
terlal, pin it down, dip the brush into
the color and proceed to transfer the
design II you are working in more
than one color be careful to cover up
one shade with blotting paper before
you start to work with the next
You can use the same plate over and
over again, but be sure to dry 1t with
blotting paper as soon as il is lifted
from the fabric To obtain depth of
shade go over one particular part of
the design several times.
For home decorations, particularly
curtains and hangings for summer
bungalows and cottages. stenciled work
is especially well suited. Crash. case
ment cloth and linen are excellent fab

HOT WEATHER.
SUNDAY WAS. The DEATH TOLL DAY
Nearly Hundred Lose Their Lives
From Prostitution or Drownings
From Intense Heat-ManyV Vic
Tins Go Insane.

Chicago.-Baking smothering heat,
dealing death and illness, continued to
envelop all os the middle and central
west Sunday. In Chicago suburbs the
thermometer registered 104 degrees in
the shade, but in that portion of the
city within a quarter of a mile of the
lake a breeze proved a great relief
The night had been intensely hot.
Thousands fought for places on the
lake steamers and at the bathing
beaches.
Drownings Reported.
An unusual number of drownings
can be traced to the heat, as the vic
tins were seeking relief. These
drownings had been reported Terre
Haute, Ind, 2; Cedar Lake, Ind, 2;
Flint Lake, Ind, q; Marinette, Wis, 2;
Eureka, ILL.,, 1 Philadelphia, 3; Mil
waukee, 1.
Four persons were stricken dead by
heat in Joliet, ILL.,, and there were
many prostrations. The temperature
rose to 100 degrees.
At Rockford, ILL.,, two died by heat
and 20 were Frustrated.
In st. Joseph, Mo-, man vas driven
insane by the reat and five persons
committed suicide.
Hot Winds Hurt Crops
All over northern Illinois the tenn
perature averaged SO to 100 degrees,
accompanied by torrid blasts, and veg
citation, although alive, is as dry and
brittle as it would ordinarily be in
October.
Advices from the farming districts
say oats are heading out at from seven
to II inches from the ground and will
hardly be worth harvesting, except as
fodder. The stalks are so short that
the crop can not be bound into
sheaves, and if it is to be threshed it
must be gathered and thrown into the
separators like hay
Deaths in Chicago.
There were nine deaths from heat
in Chicago and seven prostrations.
Seven persons were bitten by rabid
dogs.
Points registering 100 degrees and
over were: Evansville, Nashville, Jol-
let, Cairo, Peoria and Springfield, Ill.
st. Louis and Concordia, Kan, had 1O2.
In ST. Paul.
More than 20 heat prostrations were
reported at st. Paul.
At Lacrosse, Wisconsin.
The Mississippi river claimed three
victims, all of whom sought relief
from heat.
Prostrations in ST. Louis.
Heat caused two prostrations and a
suicide at st. Louis.
Six Die in Peoria, Ill.,
Heat caused the death of six per-
sons. Ten prostrations were reported.
