Judge Jacob Neu, chairman OF the
state Civil Service Commission, has re-
piled to the accusations Of the civil
Service Reform Association, which
charged members OF the board with
appointing their relatives TO exempt

Meyer Wolf had appointed his wife as
bis own stenographer and secretary
and James 4. Lavery, Of Poughkeepsie'

Int secrecy and that that was the rea-
son for the appointments. He also said

TEACH GIRLS TO SAVE.

TT is no particular hardship to learn
/ to save money. 1t is something that
has to be learned; it rarely comes
NATURALLY. If the girl who earns five
dollars week and pays two and half
for board can be depended upon to put
a dollar of the remainder aside, well
and good; if not, she should be en-
eouraged, nay, even compelled to do
$50. A bank book is great help in
these matters, and if she is not willing
to put in dollar at time, she should
hand it to her mother or father until
lit becomes i've. Whom the postal banks,
which are reaching out for just these
small savings, become established
througho tuthe country, they will be an
infinite help. For Uncle Sam disdains
the large depositor, and will not accept
more than a hundred dollars :. month
from anybody But he gladly furnishes
a stamp book for the stray dimes.
The girl who saves a dollar each week
will have fifty to pend on summer
visit or some pretty elothes-it matters
little what she spends it for as long as
tie habit of thrift. lis established. And
the girl who pays her board and saves
a little, is the really self-respecting
wage Garner. She is neither a spend
thrift nor a slave, and she is self sup
porting. She is getting more out of her
work than the mere occupation or the
mere money. She is forming habits of
industry, thrift and independence.

Household Hints

TsHE stove front can be painted with
! black stove enamel instead of
blacking it daily.
If oatmeal is put to soak overnight
in cold water it will take only half
the time to cook it in the morning.
The juice of a lemon added to pan
of water will freshen wilted vegetables.
Let them stand in it for one hour.
It is good idea to have good sized
kitchen salt shaker filled with a mix
ture of salt and pepper. This saves
time in seasoning.
The odor of kerosene lamps can be
stopped by putting one teaspoonfu Of
fine table salt into each lamp. The salt
should be changed once month.
It is good idea to rinse muslin
hangings, children 3 dresses and pima
fores in alum water. 1t will render
them non-inflammable.
Good flour adheres to the hand, and
when pressed tightly, remains in shape
and shows the imprint of the lines Of
the skin of the hand.
Tomatoes are delicious broiled. Cut
them in thick slices and brol them
over hot fire; when they are done,
butter and sprinkle with salt and pep
pei.
A paper blanket folded over the outer
edge and top of ice in the refrigerator
will save the iceman's bill.
Baking powder biscuits can be spread
with mayonnaise seasoned with chopped
mint and will make delicious sand
wiches.
