GOOD SHAMPOO.

A very good shampoo mixture Is
made by scraping three or, four ounces
of pure white soap and pouring over
1t pint of boiling water. keeping the
liquid at boiling point without cooking
until the soap Is dissolved. Pour II
into a wide-mouthed jar. and when IL
is cold II Is jelly. when used, II should
be rubbed well over the scalp before
the head 10 wet with water. -.--

ing, has been kept a considerable time be-
fore cooking, Is one OF the favorite lurk-
ing places for ptomaines. So If you buy
frozen fish be sure that you get 1t as
soon as it is thawed and then take care
to prepare 1t for the table at once
There is an old-fashioned test for fish
which is on the whole a good one. II a
fish sinks in water it is probably good
II it floats decomposition has probably
set in. Another indication of the fresh
ness Of fish is the absence of disagreea BILE
odor, and ii would be q safe rule to adopt
never to buy fish that has an unpleasant
odor.
Always look a fish in the eye. If that
is still shiny, with a clear cornea, so
much in its favor. Then examine the
gills. II they are red. score another point
in the fish's favor. Last of all. examine
the scales. II they are loose and dry you
may be sure that the fish is not perfectly
fresh and should therefore be avoided.
The housewives duties are not complete
simply because she had selected a per-
fectly good fish. She should make sure
that IT is handled in a cleanly manner
and that II does not come in contact with
any contaminated fish. It should be
cleaned as soon as possible, especially in
warm weather. Then the fish should be
kept on ice, in an earthern dish, covered
with a fresh. white paper
There are many housewives who refuse
to prepare fish because of the disagree
able cleaning-up process afterward. 1t
is hard to blame such housewives, for
surely there is nothing so discouraging
on a hot day as a set of fishy cooking
dishes which are sure to lend their De-
culiar odor to everything they come in
Co. with-dish pan, dish cloth, and
soap shaker. For such fastidious house
wives there is great satisfaction in
cooking fish in paper bags. Unfortunate
ly the vogue of paper-bag cookery was of
short duration. 1t deserved to persist,
especially in the preparation of fish. The
bag containing the fish can, be laid in a
pan in the oven, and when the fish is
done 1t can be slipped from the bag to a
platter without even shedding a drop Of
Juice on the pan in which the bag lay.

NOW FOR PINEAPPLES
AND COMBINATIONS
A Fruit with a Flavor All Its Own
that Helps Along d.
Rcsuon.


Now come the pineapples. and they
will keep coming. more and more Ius-
cious as the season advances. We do
not eat as many pineapples as We should.
They are one OF the fruits that help d.
gestion. They look a little rough and
discouraging on the outside: but don't be
afraid. Go at them. One who knows
says:
The getting at the fruit OF the pineapple
does seem difficult il we have not a sharp
knife and some experience. AS to using
a silver knife for cutting and pairing
this, 1t is not necessary II ordinary pre-
cautions are used. A steel knife for this
purpose should be absolutely clean and
it should not be allowed to lie around a
minute with any acid fruit juice upon
it-pineappIes or other. The compound
formed is not good for the knife and IL
is especially bad for people.
In slicing and pairing the pineapple the
knife should frequently be rinsed OF with
cold water and wiped dry, especially II
there is any suspension Of the work.
II only a part of the fruit is needed
for a meal or one service, the best way
to do is to cut OF only as many slices
as are needed and then to put the pine
apple, cut side down. on a clean plate.
1t will keep well so for several days,
even Nn6n not IN n COOL OuI Ocl-
ter in a cool place, where the cut end
will not dry. Peel the slices as prettily
as you can, going over the eyes, which
may be taken out with less waste after
ward than when peeling. There is almost
no loss Of juice when prepared in this
way.
Many Combinations.
The pineapple lends itself to many COM
binations. 1t may be put up with many
sorts of fruits and combined variously
in fRlit salads and deserts.
The fruit salads are becoming increas-
ingly popular. and the pineapple Is an
especially agreeable constituent in these.
1t is no longer thought necessary to use
mayonnaise dressing for them. The
whipped cream may be piled on top. even
with a French dressing, IL the oil used
is a sweet and mild one. The oils i'm
ported in cans and coming up to the re-
quirements Of our pure food laws are
best.
II combined with the grapefruit or or
ange for a salad the two may be allow
ed to stand together for a time and the
juice then poured OF for use in a dessert
or syrup. Those with this combination
are improved IL a little brown sherry is
added to them before they are drained
and covered with the dressing.

MISSIONARIES IN MEXICO.

When conditions in Mexico have once more assumed
fairly normal aspect the republic to be the of the
abOrs of the missionary That the work may be thorough
and effective, five Protestant denominations
Baptist Presbyterian Congregatonast and the Church
of the Dscipeshave formed alliance with this end
in view. Already comprehensive program has been out
lined and preliminary arrangements for its execution have
been completed 1t is part of this the most
important part-to establish at least 200 elementary
schools high school for each in every missionary dis
trct and central university and to provide in addition
teachers for these schools and teachers WELL for Sunday
schools.
The scope of this plan is unusually broad And the
movement certainly movement in force It's signif-
lies not alone in what it seeks to accomplish but in
the fact that the object has drawn together the
of five great denominations and brought them in harmony
to labor in behalf of a We to have
evangelizaton without creed And what possibly
usual to have under the combined auspices of
these churches education before evangezaton Nothing
it strikes could be eloquent of the mOdezation
of the church than this 1t gives convincing evidence here
of its ability to meet practical situation with practical
relief. For after all, Mexico today doubtless stands in
greater need of enlightened education than Of anything
else-even religion.

= 2Y small nephew came home the
I'M other morning from an errand
on which his mother had sent

foot, he explained, was very

much for it.
He lay down on the couch and gra-
ciously permitted his mother to see
the sore spot which consisted of
small stone bruise. When he put on
his stocking again 1t was with the
grimace of one who is trying to bear
up under unbearable pain.

nephew with two older boys. This

No, m. nephew is not a hypocrite and
I'm not writing this to show him up.
On the contrary, l don't doubt In
the least that his foot hurt him some
on the errand and didn't hurt him when
he was having a good time. 1t seems
to me that this little incident is an eX-
cellent illustration of the powerful in
huences of psychological conditions
upon work.

Miss Clarke, Peggy is thinking, would

it really doesn't become Miss Clarke

1t is easy to see, Peggy muses., that
Miss Clarke is anxious to impress
young Mr.. Kelly. She beams and flut-
ters whenever he goes by. If he speaks
to her with a modest show of gallantry
or directs to her the slightest pleas
antry, she seems delighted.
Her taste isn't mine" reflects
Peggy as she turns to view the young
man at his work. Goodness, wouldn't
an evening with him be a rollicking
affair? He looks about as thrilling as
a rainy holiday"
Peggy. however, is undertaking the
modest and subdued Mr.. Kelly. His
failure to array himself in rubber soled
shoes and boisterous cravats perhaps
explains Peggy's Indifferent. estimation.
You may learn another day, Peggy,
that many earnest young men abjure
the gay apparel when they enter the
business world. OF course it's too bad,
but it's mostly because of the way en-
ployers feel about it.
At this point glorious idea occurs
to Peggy, revealing possibilities of
