POSTAL VOTE ON
CHARTER REFORM
Citizens Committee of 1875 Will
Make Poll of Atlanta
Voters.

The committee of 125 citizens named
at the recent great mass meeting in the
Auditorium in the charter reform fight
met this afternoon in Mayor Wood
wards Office and decided on a poet
card primary of the city.
Returnable postcards will be sent to
every registered voter in the city. The
card asks for a frank expression of
opinion on the great problem now
confronting the city Accompanying
the postcard will be a letter showing
the present inadequacy of Atlantas
present charters, the need of the re-
forms proposed, and councils efforts
TO block Improvement.
The letter shows just how and why
council has refused to allow the peo-
pie to vote on a question directly af-
fecting every voter and abrogated to
itself the peoples authority.
In striking contrast to this attitude
of the public was the action of the Fed
Grafton of Trades last night. There
were more than 100 present at
the meeting. A resolution was adopted
condemning the attitude of the mayor
IN regard to charter reforms. and COM
mending the action of council in refus-
ing the public demand for popular
election. 1t is said that no protest
against the adoption of this resolution
was made
Mayor Woodward declared to-day
that If no immediate action on charter
reforms was secured, new charter
would be the principal issue in the cleo
tion of councilmen and aldermen this
fall He said he had assurances from
many sources that a charter reform
ticket would be put out, and that with
a 80 per cent victory the ring in coun-
ell would be defeated,

 Before putting cake in the oven give it a few whacks on the table after l. is in the baking tins. This removes all air bubbles and prevents the cake
 For the benefit of those who never heard of scrapple here is good recipe:
 ScrappEe: Take fresh pork and boil it until tender, remove all bones and chop or put through meat grlnder, put meat back into the liquor, sur in Indian meal to make a good thick ening as you would for mush, season with salt and pepper, previous to the Ethickening. Set away to cool then slice off and fry; excellent.
 Asbestos is an excellent thing to put around oil stove ovens to hold in the heat. Also layer on top or oven.
 In tying bed quilts thread the needle with long piece of the cot ton, insert the thread in as many places as the length of thread will al low, then begin to tie from the be- ginning. More work can be accom- plished this way.
 I have always disliked these pepper shakers that have to be filled from the bottom until recently, I was reading in my last Delineator that instead of corks that are always pushing up the shakers, paste a piece of passe- partout over the opening on the bot tom.
 When sweeping a room I always lay a wet newspaper down in the door way and sweep towards it. The damp ness from the paper causes the dust to fall instead of rising as usual ly the case.
 If 8 coal fire gets low, or even dump the grate. Just shake the fire until all the ashes are down and out, then with few kindlings (never use paper) and a little kerosene oil your fire will come up. Open all the drafts and then add more kindlings as needed, then your coal. Your fire will always come up better this way and quicker. I always put a layer of coal on the grate before building a new fire. | What are we going to do in and around WilIimantic for ice this sum

SOCIAL CORNER POEM.

The Troublesome Baby. The little ones cling to the mother, With kisses that softly fall, But somehow the troublesome baby Is nearest her heart of all,- III, and freful. and small, But dearest to mother of all. The neighbors wonder and pity. Hearing it's querulous cry. "She is losing her youth and beauty Say friends as they pass her by; "WeH were the babe to die, And the mother have resi-" they But over the wee white cradle. Her soft eyes full of prayer. Bendeth the weary mother; And never was face so fair. Pale and tired with care.- But the glory of love is therei Rosy. and round, and dirnpled, DeWy with childish sleep, She tucks in her other darling, Whom angels watch and keep. An, if darker angel

USEFUL HINTS AND HELPS.

Dear Sisters of the Corner, I nm
 going to tell you some uses for vine gar:
 Use vinegar and a copper cent to clean paint from windows.
 When poaching eggs. add 8 couple drops of vinegar to the water and it will keep the whites from separating.
 If you are troubled with smoking lamps, boil the wicks in vinegar and dry them thoroughly.
 Vinegar will take shoe backing from
 clothing.

 A tablespoon of vinegar added the
 last thing to sponge cake improves 4t-
 The best way to clean zinc is to
 wash with vinegar until the stains are
 off; then wipe and SCOUT with any securing materials
 Warm white vinegar is good for re-
 moving stains made by brass on white
 goods.
 When frying doughnuts, they will use up less grease if a tablespoon of vinegar is added to the hot lard. If your iron scorches, dip a clean cloth in vinegar. rub on the spot until it disappears; then use clear water the same way and re-iron. To take the odor of fish and onions from cooking utensils, boi! q little vinegar in them after washing them; then rinse thoroughly. To make glassware clear and spark ling, add a little blueing to the soap Suds when washing. Knives and forks should be thor cughly wiped and dried before putting them away. Do not put them away
 until they are cold. or they will tar nish.
 Silverware that is used daily may borax water for four or five hours 0c- l casionally. Have the water boiling when it is poured over the s1lverWare. If grease is spilled on the carpet, l -Ir some distance around it. Let it stand ] for 24 hours; sweep up and apply more, about One-fourth of an inch thick Let this remain on few hours, l then sweep, and you will find the spot entirely gone.
 To prevent dust when sweeping, tear paper into small bits and soak it in i water Squeeze the water out, then 1 sprinkle the damp paper over the car l pet before sweeping. Salt sprinkled on carpet will | brighten and bring out the colOrs and keep dust down

HARD LUCK DOESN'T DOWN HER

Social Corner Editor and Sisters: Just a chicken wrinkle: found one of my neighbors in "a peck of trouble as they say. One of her setting hens due to hatch that day was dead in her nest and three eggs all picked The hen was o K the night before.
 N said: 'I had to give one dollar for those eggs and now I won't get "a chicken
 I smiled and said: s'Can you spare few minutes now and then to save them?'
 I went fin with her and told her to fill her three quart hot water bag. She did and took an old knit Woolen hood and put over the eggs; then the hot water bottle, and something over the top.
 The next day she told me she got twelve chicks out of the fifteen eggs. Don't let hard luck down youl There is a way out, if you can only think quick enough. and I do like to experi- ment and see what can be done. So far in life have dropped butter luck, but one gets tired making the luck.
 My father always said: Hammer long enough and you will break any stone.'
 I heard that so much when a child I believe it. Never tell anyone you can't do it.
 How do you know they can not? Just a word rightly spoken has done wonders. Let Us Sisters give our best

{ SOCIAL CORNER TEA WITH
 THEODA.


 Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Another tea party to- tell you of. This time at 1Theodass home. Such 8 pleas ant place. We hadn't been there long when one of the sisters produced from her bag bows of narrow yellow rib bon provided with a big white headed pin These we put on at once
 Aunty, of course. was making tat second lesson. Furthermore she was the most apt pupil she had ever had.
 Married and Happy was at her ever lasting, never-ending dressmaking this time, basting tucks in material that wouldn't be tucked any other way.
 Aunt MehitabFe and Polly Winter green both had their embroidery. They thought if they came to tea parties often enough they would get it done in time.
 Biddy. for once. was idle. Said she came to tea parties for diversion, not to finish something.
 Our hostess showed us many inter- esting things. among them her Social Corner scrapbooks. She had taken her discarded telephone directories for the scrap books and in three of these she had pasted in. rotation, each dated, every Social Corner page from the beginning until the present time. ~At the back she had an dndex for all recipes and bits of various household hints. Really Mir. Editor I am sure it would have done your heart good to have seen them.
 Very soon it was time to eat. Eat ing is such pleasure at a Social Corner afternoon We went into the dining room and beheld the table. For a centerpiece q am sure Joseph Doe would have been charmed with it) there was a good sized plant with leaves not unlike a geranium, which bore a yellow fruit the size of small oranges, of a strange, crepey paper appearance. The place cards %were decorated with ink bottles and pens, as well as bows of yellow; the menu was more or less yellow, but genuine, ending with a huge yellow frosted cake.
 After supper our hostess showed us several rare bits of antique furniture and china. that would make a col lector green with envy. Among them was three piece silver lustre tea set. perfect in every way. The most beau t1ful thing of the sort ever saw. Our afternoon went too quickly. It was time to go home. On the way l one of our number said: ttThe very next time Theoda invites us let's be sure and ge." Another said. "The sooner, the better for me-" So we wait for our next invitation and will sign myself
