who has posed to her as an athlete, 10
race against the Centipede man. The
COWBOYS Join in the appeal to Wally. and
fearing that Helen will find him out, ne

that Covington will arrive in time to take
his place. Fresno, glee club singer from
Stanford university and in love with
Helen, tries to discredit Speed with the

put in the time they are supposed to be

The cowboys tell Glass it is up to him to

When You Have No Maid.

There is no reason why the break
fast should not be partly prepared
the night before. The grapefruit can
be seeded, cut and sugared and placed
on ice. and the potatoes can be peeled
and also placed in bowl of water In
the icebox. They will be much better
for having been made ice-cold be-
fore frying. If cereal is to be cooked
that can be done the day before and
for breakfast it can be reheated in a
colander Biscuit dough may be ready
to bake, though it is best to make bak-
ing powder biscuits fresh, and the
dough for waffles or cakes can be
prepared beforehand. There is no
easy way to prepare meat cooked for
breakfast, but as it only takes a few
minutes to cook bacon, steak or ham,
this can be done while the grape
fruit and cereal are being eaten.

HOUSEKEEPING HINTS

Flowers have direct influence on
health and beauty.
Spare ribs are much improved by
parboiling before roasting.
Meat broths should be made only
In porcelain or agate ware utensils.
To beat the whites of eggs stiff, al
ways have them cold and add pinch
of salt.
Camphorated oil will clean the
marks made by hot dishes on the pol
ished table.
Open canned fruit or vegetables and
pour into q dish several hours before
they are served.
A gas stove should be wiped OF
each time it is used and washed with
turpentine once week.
Prunes are greatly improved II a
little cider is added to the water In
which they are cooked.
II the skin is oily, try w1p1ng the
face off occasionally with diluted alco-
hol, rs per cent. strength.
Dreamed caulifower served In
green shells makes a dish as tasty as
it is satisfying to the eye.

some one else had a touch Of suffer

toe had come to be broken.
II broke it in Omaha automobile &C.

displaying her own handiwork: "Mr.

when did you learn to box, Wally?''
Covington was genuinely amazed.
I'm not going to box. It's foot

Eyes! Oh, yes!" Culver flashed his
chum a look of dumb entreaty, but
Speed was staring round-eyed into
space, striving to read the future.
Helen started to fetch her just as
the pallid chaperon was entering the

Salt Fish With Onions,

Soak over night if possible in cold
water. If not soaked place on stove
one hour before meal time in cold
water, bring to a boil. turn of water
and add fresh cold water two differ
ent times. The third time allow to
boil until time to serve. When water
is added the third time and comes to
a boil peel four or five onions and the
number of potatoes needed and place
in kettle with salt fish, allowing 10
minutes longer for onions to cook
than the potatoes. You will find that
the onions give the fish and potatoes
a fine flavor Add pepper and butter
when serving. Be sure to cook the
fish long enough to be well done, as
underdone fish is unfit to eat.

AWAY WITH DRY SWEEPING
UnsanItary and Dangerous, the Mod
ern Housewife Should Substitute
DustIess Cleaning Methods.

The various methods of dustless
cleaning are deservedly popular in
these days of preventive medicine.
Dust is dangerous to health. Air
germs are mostly dust germs, and
the number Of disease germs in the
air Is usually in direct proportion to
the amount of dust contained in It,
Disease germs which are cast into
dry, dustless air soon lose their pow
er to cause disease But when they
can attach themselves to dust parti-
cles, they are protected and retain the
moisture which is necessary for their
life, for long periods Of time.
tuberculosis germs, for example.
will live and retain their disease-pro-
ducing power from one to nine months
on indoor dust, and as long as two
months on street dust.
Dust found indoors. especially in
dark, damp, poorly ventilated places,
is more dangerous than outdoor dust,
which is dried by being blown about
and is subjected to the purifying action
Of the direct rays Of the sun.
Besides being carrier Of disease
germs, dust is an enemy Of health in
an indirect way. 1t acts as mechani-
cal irr1tant to the delicate mucous
membrane lining the breathing or
gans.
This irritation, If continued, causes
a mild Inflammation, or catarrhal con-
dition, lowers the natural resistive
powers of these delicate structures,
thereby preparing the soil for the
growth of disease germs which may
find their way there.
Floors, carpets, walls and furniture
the whole house, in fact, can and
should be cleaned without making
dust. Dry sweeping and dry busting
simply stir up the dust from one place
to let 1t settle again at another.
