give but because of the value educa-

Of European study lies in the oppor-

The open meeting of the West END

leading events of the day. The pro

Glue in Boiling Starch

Il should like to add to the Helping
Hand Corner what | read in a paper %
years ago. 1 have since taken many fine
magazines and papers, but never have
seen 1t in any of them. When making
boiling starch add a small bit of white
glue according to the clothes you have
to starch. A pound will last two years,
and is about 20 cents a pound. If a little
flour is added to the colored clothes it will
be saving, and with the glue will iron
beautifully, l have used these for years
and passed the hint on TO all my friends,
who think the same as | do about them.
For black wash dresses and undersklits
use the dark glue, such sthe furniture
stores use, and melt the clear glue-that
is, do not use any starch-and you will
have a garment just like new. A small
amount only will be needed. | hone
some one will try and report on this.

MRS. F. IT. P"
Here is another use for the ever serv-
iceable lemon. 1t would be interesting to
note how many things can be done with
lemon juice besides using 1t in flavoring
foods. We know that as skin whitener
1t is hard to excel. and that, If properly
applied, 1t removes ink from linen and
muslin Mixed with glycerin and a dash
of pure alcohol, it is an excellent hand
lotion. And now we are told that 1t will
whiten the seldom white drainboard. if
used after a good securing powder has
