NOW COMES SOAP
IN TABLOID FORM

Somehow soap powder has never
taken the fancy of fastidious folk.
It is not especially pleasant to use
and it never smells like anything but
the washroom of a railway station or
department store. 1t moreover has a
way of sprinkling itself around every
where except on the hands in a messy
and disagreeable way and dainty
women who travel will have none of
it, preferring to carry the wet cake
of personally preferred toilet soap III
a rubber lined receptacle in the trav.
cling bag. A new soap tablet, how
ever. will be likely to appeal to the
fastidious traveller because of its con-
venience and the attractive way it is
put up. Fifty of these tablets are
packed like bon-bons in a pretty little
box less than three inches square A
pair of nickel tweezers are tucked in
the box for extracting the tablets
again like bon bof1s-and the tablets
themselves. though firm in compost
ton, dissolve easily in the water. And
the entire package costs no more than
an ordinary cake of good toilet soap

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

To Preserve Steel Pens-7Steel pens

or old steel pens, the acid will eN-
haust itself on them and the pens in
use will not corrode.
To Clean Graniteware--Where mix
ture has been cooked or burned on,
half fill utensil with cold water, add
washing soda, heat water to boiling

lily washed. Any washing powder
may be substituted for soda.

Bread, the so-called staff of life.
eaten three times a day by every
man, woman and child, and yet of all
the foods prepared this is given the
least consideration as far as making
il in. the home is concerned. VIII?
Ny answer must come from the close
contact with hundreds and thousands
of housekeepers the past few years
in our cooking and housekeeping lee
lures. Bread-making should be a
pleasure, just as all work is, when
one knows just how tE do it. Most
women do not continue making bread
long enough to acquire the art. and
others make it as easy as any other
cooking or baking. To make good
bread requires practise, as there is
much of interest to learn about flour,
yeast and the necessary temperature
of these when combined with liquid
to secure the best results. The artist
with his clay considers it alive, not
merely a piece of clay from which
he shapes wonderful life-like images
How much more so is this live dough
in the hands of the artist in her
kitchen and certainly more important
to the health of each member of the
family 1T is too much trouble !"
1T takes too long" Il have too much
10 do. are a few of the reasons we
have heard from many housekeep-
ers for not making bread in the
home.

clip the following, as it is too lengthy
for frequent publications:
In the first place the aquarium
whether of ornamental zinc or mere
~ a bell glass; ought to have breadth
or water greater than its depth, and
the glass shaded where nearest the
window as high as the water line, so
that light enters from above. A piece
of white paper or ground glass will
effect this. Although weed (Which
purifies the water and supplies oxygen
to the fish should be provided, yet
little extra aeration is necessary, and
can be given thus: A couple of rods
are placed across the top of the
aquarium to support an ornamental
pot A hole can be quickly made in
the bottom of the pot by tapping
smartly ana repeatedly in the same
place with a pointed and rather heavy
instrument, bit of clean sponge is
pressed tightly in, and so the water
passes, drop by drop, into the aquar-
ium. If desired, by passing a short
length of strong thread through the
sponge, the water will run down in a
succession of fine drops. A little
clean sand put into the pot will regu-
late the flow. The pot may be filled
from the water in the aquarium, once
a day during the colder months and
oftener during the summer. To do
this a clean cup is used, lowering
gently into the water to prevent dis

hours of the early morning sun, and,

a bit of granite to give little shade.

mains for a couple of days or so to
enable the weed to charge the water
with oxygen. Meanwhile the gold
fish may be obtained, and judgment

should be plump, clean-looking and
with fins boldly erect. If, when in
the aquarium, one should be noticed

the fish at once. This fungus (sap-
rolegnia feroD is very deadly and
infectious. If, after the aquarium
has made a good start, the fungus
occurs it may be taken for granted
that it is only through the careless
management of the owner, as it is
only brought into being by fieshy

Excellent substitutes for scaveng-

Dear MISS D0on: , ~
Would you kindly advise me now
to remove stain? In boiling a few
garments together the trademark on
one ran into a white shirtwaist, max
ing a red ink stain.
ANXIOUS ENQUIRER.
l doubt if the stain will come out.
Try boiling the garment in water to
which a little jayelle water has been
added. Rinse thoroughly, to get all
of the lime out of the material. Or
try sponging the stains with strong
ammonia water. Boiling water poured
through the stain from a height
might help. Place the waist over a
bowl and hold a teakettle high and
pour so that the water will strike the
spots with force.
