CARING FOR YOUR RUGS

The woman who has followed the
wise custom of the owners of some
valuable Oriental rugs, and has taken
them with her to her summer home,
has little, need to worry about them,
for it is not the tread of dusty feet
and the exposure to sun and air that
destroys rugs. The foes to be feared
are darkness and closeness, which
develop moths, and the creases in
which the rugs are folded, which turn
into worn streaks.
OF course, valuable rugs that can
not be carried from pillar to post and
back again, ought to be stored in a
reliable storehouse, where they are
lifted and aired and moved about
every week. If they must be left in
a closed house spread them in rooms
that are light and cover them with
moth balls.
But these suggestions are not 10

these things does not help her.

Soda water is not specially harm
full, as it is simply carbonated water,
with or without fiavoring. But the
addition of ice-cream, nuts, benzoate
of soda, colored cherries and a few
other "trifies" makes it not an ar
ticle for steady diet or easy digestion.
Countup the number of times your
boys and girls are there every day
and you will surely find them on this
list.
If the ice-cream is pure which is
taken with the soda water and not
taken into the stomach too rapidly,
nor when too cold nor too often, Sc
rious harm may not result. But the
big danger does arise from the man
ner of preparation and serving. No
mother wants her children to drink
soda water in any form which con-
tains artificially colored f1avors, ben
zoate of soda and coloring, and froth
produced by soap bark.
But even these are small evils as
compared with the drinking glass.
In a recent report written by doe
tor in the East he said several physi-
clans have told him that they have
given up drinking soda water con-
coctions because they happened to see
patients at the counters whom they
knew to have infected mouths and
lips. This physician advocates paper
cups for soda fountains. They are
more necessary there than in railroad
trains, he says, because plain water
is quickly drunk and contains no
solid or viscid material to retain in
lection There is much need of edu-
ation at this most common drinking
place.
In one breath the distributor will
tell you, 1--WE don't have any but
natural syrups: there is no demand
for artificial stuff any more" and
the next minute you will discover all
their syrups contain benzoate of soda
and added color What can be done?
They insist benZoate must be used in
order to have the fruit keep when
open, and yet the Food and Drug
Commission of Pennsylvania made a
test of over 1000 experiments from
May until October, and, keeping the
soda fountain clean, had no need for
preservatives.
On the lower east side of New York
too, was found a bother of soda
water syrups who did not consider
benzoate of soda necessary. In this
little plant a Russian family-father
mother, grown-up daughter and two
children-worked together putting up
pure fruit syrups
No Personalities There.
No, indeed, the man protested when
asked about artificial preservatives,
he used nothing of the kind; he had

Watermelon With Raisins

White Watermelon Preserve-Pre-
pare the rind as for pickles and soak
1t for twentyfour hours in a brine of
the same strength. Then rinse the
fruit in cold water. Put it into a pre-
serving kettle on the stove and cover
with fresh water. Let the rind boil
until fairly tender; then pour off the
water and rinse the fruit two or three
times in cold water. This is done to
take out the rank flavor. Cover it
again with fresh water, either hot or
cold, and allow to every quart and a
half of rind one quart of sugar half
a cupful of raisins and two small
lemons. Let the rind. the sugar and
the sliced lemons boil in the water
until it forms a rich syrup around the
fruit and the rind has become very
tender. Then add the raisins, let the
whole cook few minutes longer and
seal hot.

A Japanese Birthday Fete

MY Dear Miss Doom:
know you are tired of suggesting
games u, tn1s request is not Tor an
ordinary affair. Would YOU suSg tls
day party. to be attended by bows ana
girls of Is and 10 years? FR1BDA.
You can make the party a pictur-
esque affair by having every detail
Japanese. Write the invitations on
Japanese napkins. using heavy crayon
for the purpose and lettering in imi-
tation of japanese words Decorate
the rooms with screens, paper liant
ems, fans and parasols. The effect
will be EXCHANGED by clusters of arti-
fetal plum and cherry blossoms which
can be obtained in the stores. At any
rate you must have your table flow
ers of plum or cherry blossoms.
beautiful centrepiece could be ar
ranged with one of those Japanese
wicker baskets filled with long sprays
of the flowers.
Have the place cards of pale pink or
lavender, painted with the guests
names in imitation of Japanese let
tering, and let the favors be tiny
japanese gauze fans or screens. Use
Japanese plates IL you have them, and
begin the meal with sweetmeats
served from a bowl Candied ginger
would be just the lHlnB. lou aiu
your guests will wear Japanese cos
tunes, of course.
Play any games you like. 1t would
be great fun, though, to have cor
ner of the hall fixed to look like a
little tea house, and have one of the
bright girls inside to serve tea in
tiny ours, and another to tell for
tunes from the grounds. This would
take considerable time.
] think we never grow tired of the
old fashioned peanut hunt. Do not
give a prize to the one that finds the
most, but have one or two peanuts
gilded, and to those that find the
golden peanuts award prizes. A
Japanese cup and saucer, sandal-wood
fan, embroidered Jap" slippers or
lacquered tray or box would make ap-
propriate prizes
There are many typical Japanese
songs to be found in the music
stores. If you have a friend who
sings, why not get her to dress in
Japanese costume and give a selec-
tion or two?
Trust that l have helped you. Let
me wish you a happy birthday.

Kitchen Brush

A wonderfully serWceable little
brush is one made for cleaning pots
and pans that have become blackened
from use on the stove. The thrifty
German houseKeeper uses similar
brush. 1t is short and thick with
stout handle intended for energetic
use, and has short bristles OF fine cop
per wire, with an outer row OF IN
usually stiff black bristles.
The copper wire is particularly USE
full for cleaning metal cooking uten-
sils that have become blackened with
SCOT and smoke, and for the same
purpose there is a cloth. also i'm
ported from Germany, made OF ex-
ceedingly heavy cotton thread into
which have been woven the finest Oh
copper wires. This is said to remove
the most hopeless amount of dirt
without the use of any cleaning

much | should charge a man who has
L nicely furnished room and nine
meals week with us? My meals are
first class. l.. r.
You've freed me this time. haven't
an idea as to- how much you should
receive for the room and board. But
If / were you I would figure the cost
of the room, including lighting and
heating and keeping it in order. and
add it to the amount / thought the
nine meals deserved. 1 understand
that many landladies figure that their
meals demand from thirty to fifty
cents apiece from each guest. Perhaps
it would help to read the ads and
find out what others charge.

Using the Red Pulp

Red Watermelon Preserve-Cut the
red interior of a watermelon into
small squares, rejecting all the seeds
and the green and white rind. The
rind may be placed in brine for
pickles. Weigh the red squares and
allow two lemons and a quart of
sugar to every three pints of melon.
Boil all very slowly until thick. At
first it may look somewhat watery,
but it will become thick with slow
boiling. Reject the white inner rind
of the lemons.
