IDEAS THE OTHER WOMAN HAS
FOUND OUT.

Do YOU know that many Of the daily
tasks may be done while sitting!
Pairing potatoes, wiping many of the
dishes, and even ironing, If one has a
high stool. Many women never Sit
just from force of habit, when the
strength might be well saved and the
feet rested by taking the pressure on
from them. When standing, in iron
Ing, always stand on, rug folded IN
many thicknesses, as the spring rests
the feet.
One way to save the dishes is to use
a damp cloth and dry one in the
dining-room to wipe dishes that are
used for foods which dare not be much
soiled.
II YOU scorch a dish of food when
cooking. scrape it out and add little
soda, with a pint or less OF cold wa
ter. Let the water boil. when the
food can be removed without scratch
ing the dish.
When an obstinate spot of scorched
or burned-on food refuses to come Or
rub with q piece of pumice stone.
This scrapes without injuring the sur
face.
There is no economy in using old
or worn-out tools or utensils A
leaky pail, which leaves its trail Wher'
ever it Is carried, is worse than poor
economy.
Do not bang or gouge the hands and
fingers using the stove iron or
piece of wood for hammer.
Have & small egg beater which will
beat an egg in a cup. Get good small
wooden spoons for stirring and mix
ing. They are easy on the hands and
never get hot when used in the dishes
cooking on the stove.
Have a soap shaker for dish-wash'
ing: in this every scrap of laundry
soap may be saved and used.
Good sharp knives for pairing ano
carving. and GOOD knife sharpener
is true necessity in every home.

At daybreak the next morning the
young men were at his door.

He soon returned, and calling his
daughter said to the young men:

Each OF the rivals took his task and
prepared to set to WORK under the
taifor's eyes. The latter said to his
daughter: "Here is thread; you can
thread the needles for the workmen."
The girl obeyed; she took the spool
and sat down by the youths. But the
pretty witch was full Of cunning; her
father did not know which one she
Bsved, neither did the young men, but,
for her part, she knew very we'll. The
tailor went out, the girl threaded the
needles, and her suitors set to work.

snort needlefuls, while she gave long

was scarcely half done, but at three

But the tailor had reasoned to him

him that his daughter might outwit

CASTRO DENIED
 FREEDOM ON BAIL

New York, Jan. 1s-Cfpriano Castro, the stormy petrel of Central American politics. was today denied freedom on bail pending the decision of his ap- peal to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor from the decision of the Ellis Island board which denied him ad- mission to this country. Counsel for Castro applied to Judge Holt in the federal district court to permit him to go free on bail pending the decis- ion of Secretary Nagel on his appeal The court refused the request but granted leave to renew it should the decision be adverse and Castro desire to appeal to the courts to upset the decision of the department.
 Judge Holt ruled that the request was novel and important, but held that at present there was apparently no good reason for the court interfer- ing. However, he said that if, when the decision is handed down, should it be adverse and Castro decide to re- new his application for a writ of habeas corpus denied a week ago. then the application for freedom uIl- der bail may be renewed

 United States

Washington, Jan. 18.-One hundred and fifty thousand babies might an = nually be saved from death in this county if there were proper registra- ton laws in all the states, according to the first publication of the new federal children's bureau, issued to- day.
 The United States is now losing 300,00O babies a year." said Miss Julia Lathrop chief of the bureau, in her report, "and experience has demon strated that half of these might be saved if the simple methods already known to science could be brought to bear. To apply these meth how ever, it will be necessary to have good statistics and imm ediate report of ev- cry birth. Without these, it is prac- t1cally impossible to reduce the high rate of infant mortality.
 mmediate notification of births is necessary so that the babies born un- der adverse conditions may be sent the assistance necessary

 to Brooklyn

A great surprise was sprung by the police department this morning by the arrest of James Doolan, a teamster, living at 273 Frank street and Patrick Murphy a driver in his employ charg- ed with receiving stolen goods in con nection with the theft of over 1000 by Walter L.

 to the Doolan stables on Frank street and later sold to Joseph Rudderman, 146 Jones avenue, Bridgeport Ruder- man negotiated a sale to the Eagle Smelling & Refining Company of Brooklyn N- Y, shipping the wire by freight under his own name. Trucks belonging to the Smelling Company conveyed it to the yards of the com pany in Brooklyn. An amount of $40O is alleged to have been received in paymen for the lot.
 Detectives detailed upon the case said this morning that first clues were very indistinct but it was naI1y learn ed that the wire similar to that miss ing had been shipped to Brooklyn by Ruderman.
