Ordinary adhesive plaster will mend
satisfactorily rent in an umbrella.
A cloth moistened with camphor will
remove white spots from furniture.
White or very pale shades of dress
goods can be successfully dyed any
color.
To give soft tread to oilcloth, as
well as to increase its length of service,
put a layer of sawdust on the floor be-
fore laying the oilcloth,

and hard may be softened by immers'
ing in boiling vinegar for !. few min'-
utes, afterward washing in strong soap

Iity article, it is used by itself and in
most cases the natural finish is to be

Waxed floors may be kept in excel
llent condition by rubbing once week

nentine. sweet oil and vinegar, using
soft cloth. Polish afterward with
soft rag, which may be wrapped around
floor broom.

4AfHITE bread was said by experts,
H or by those who claim to be ex-
perts, to be much superior to
brown bread few months ago, and we
were told that the idea of eating gra-
ham bread or any bread containing
part or all of the bran of wheat and
other portions of the grain which are
taken out in the bolting process was
old fashioned and might lead to injury.
Now come the medical inspectors of
the French army, a group of very dis
tinguished physicians and scientists,
who say that boiling pushed beyond a
certain limit eliminates the useful ele-
ment of flour in more than one respect
and does nothing but improve the color
of the bread. When white bread is
used exclusively they have found that
the men eat and need more meat, but
when the flour is only partially bolted
and only the coarser particles of the
bran are removed the soldiers are in
better health and they eat less meat,
which results in superior economy and
efficiency at the same time. The method
of boiling flour was invented some cen
turies ago and it seems about time that
the relative values of white and un.
bolted flour were settled, but the doc
tors can no more agree about it than
they can about the therapeutic value
of alcohol.

THE UNFRAMED MOTHER.

PROBABLY the idea of training the
children Alright started with Moses
Solomon prodded it along little.
But no one seems to have given any
admonitions about trailing the paren's.
No doubt all the rules for bringing
up children were laid down by the par.
ents themselves, so, Of course, they
complacently think they are quite cap
able of rearing children properly. But
many parents need training quite as
much as the children, and many a
young boy or girl whose life is wrecked
is primarily not to blame for it. Tho
real cause lies not with his or her will
ingness or deception, but with the par.
ents, who lacked the training that fitted
them to guide the lives Of others.

spoonful of pepper. Cut the steak in

woman s kitchen-a framed copy
of one of Robert Louis Stevenson 8
prayers. "The petty round of irrltat-

referred, seemed to her a particularly

brave poet, stricken as he was with

Recipes
Substitute for Eggs.

When the cake-maker hesitates to
begin her baking for fear of extrava-
gance in eggs, let her try gelatine in
their place. A tablespoonful of gela-
tine added to a cake batter will equal
three eggs. Dissolve it in little cold
water and add enough boiling water to
make cupfui. Beat it with an egg
beater and add to the cake, and see if
you can tell the difference.

WITH OR WITHOUT RUFFLE.

Everything that flares to produce a
wide effect to the skirt is fashionable.
This one is made with two circular
flounces. 1t is very simple and very
smart and it can be treated in number
of different ways. AS shown here, it is
all of one material but the flounces
could be made of plaid or other fancy
material while the skirt is plain, or, if
the material is heavy and it is desirable
to reduce the weight, thin silk can be
used for the skirt beneath the flounces
while the lower portion only is of the
material. The model is good one for
all reasonable materials. The heavier
ones will require only to be stitched on
the edges, the lighter ones, such as ta--
feta and other silks, can be finished
with little plaitings of ribbon of mar
row ruchings of the material or in any
manner that tends to give the effect of
| fullness at the lower edges.
For the medium size. the skirt will
require "a yds. of material 81, A or 81
in. wide, with q yds. 27, q yds. "A OF
So in. wide for the flounces; width at
lower edge yd. and 90 in, for medium
also. Ask your merchant for this pat
tern.

Here is one of the very newest skirts.
1t is made in two pieces but there is a
seam at the front and one at the back
in place of the sides and the fullness
that comes at the front is laid in plaits
At the back there is y quite novel
treatment, the skirt being slashed and
joined to yoke while the outer portion
is arranged to give a hustle effect. The
model can be used with success for the
Spring sutings, for silk and also for
linen and the like, for it is really very
simple and means no complication that
will prove hindrance to the laun-
dress. In the picture, the material is
taffeta and the simply stitched edges
make some thing of feature.
For the 16-year size, the skirt will
require 81 yds. of material 27, SO or A
in. wide. The width at the lower edge
is yd. and 80 in.
The patterr of the skirt 6215 is cut in
sizes for is and IS years. It will be
mailed to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on eceipt Of
ten cents. Ask your merchant for this
lpattern.

Baked Rice Pudding.

Boil one-half cup of rice in plenty of
water, and when cooked drain, put in
buttered pudding dish with one pint of
milk, four level teaspoonfuls of sugar,
nutmeg to taste, one-half teaspoon of
salt and two or three eggs. Bake as
you would custard, stirring frequently
until custard begins to form. Tapioca
can be used the same way by soaking
one-half cup of tapioca over night, then
drain and proceed as above. Bake in a
moderate ove~ so custard does not boil.

Kitchen Tables.

There are kitchen tables now with
tops covered with zinc. Where there is
no room, and where you can not afford
to put in kitchen cabinet, table of
this kind will prove very satisfactory
and is inexpensive. A top of this sort
is easy to keep clean and is indestruct-
ible. The white oilcloth makes a neat
table, but it has to be renewed often.

Germany's Official Marine Annual
Reviews Condition of the
Worlds Fleets.

BERLIN. July 1.-The Nauticus, Ger
many's official marine annual, which has
just been issued, in a review of foreign
fleets declares that the upbuildng of the
United States Navy has been hampered
by lack of a definite program. As a con-
sequence, the Nauticus adds, questions of
the country's defense, which should
stand outside parliamentary contentious,
have been drawn into party politics and
the opportunities for advancement of
young marine officers made SO I'M
promising at present that an entire
change of personnel appears unavoidable.
The Nauticus declares that the Mexi-
can troubles have interfered with the
proper training of officers and men of
the Atlantic and Pacific fleets.
The past year. the Nauticus says was
most favorable for Germany's marine in
terests. and the opening of the Panama
canal will find Germany ready to take
advantage of the new route without any
subsidy, whereas the annual asserts the
Italians and French consider themselves
unable to use the canal without state
help.
