NOT ALWAYS WISE
TO BUY In QUANTITY

There is, Of course. a happy medium
between the flour and sugar barrels and
the pound sacks OF those commodities Of
today, between the huge chests Of linen
which turned yellow with age before
being used and the hand-to-mand method
Of buying one-sixth Of dozen towels or
pillow cases sometimes practieed today.
There should be a small reserve store
of emergency linen; It is too easily Sc
cured now to make worth while keep
ing much more than is in actual use.
Since this is true the principal reason
for buying at bargain sales is because
OF the lower price at which the goods
are offered. But when bought in ex-
cess of immediate need, there should be
a storeroom for linen.
More room Is required for storage OF
groceries; there should be a light. dry.
cool room as near the kitchen and PAM
try as possible. Where the pantry must
be used for storage purposes it naturally
limits the amount of groceries that can
be pfohtably bought and stored, says the
Dallas News Among those which may
be safely bought in quantities are canned
goods and cereals, though in the South
EN- climate II is doubtful whether the
latter keep well enough to make il pro-
htabIe to purchase for more than a
month or two at time.
Buying perishable goods in excess Of
immediate needs Is usually a hazardous
proceeding. Even a slight loss will con-
vert the estimated proht into a loss. In
addition to this fruit and vegetables are
difiicuIt to keep and rapidly deteriorate,
and the tendency is to use them as
rapidly as possible. and to save all
that Is usable, which may lead to un-
intentional use of spoiled fruit. For most
families It is by far safer and more
satisfactory to purchase fruit. vegetables
and other perishable foods as they are
needed for immediate consumption.

imagine themselves the hopeless victims
Of unrequited love. But how many have

To save labor. and at the same time
keep the household silverware bright

valuable II a lump Of il is placed on
each shelf of the closet or cabinet where
the silver is kept a Thorough cleaning
and polishing is necessary only every
few months. A lump OF CamphOr the
size Of an egg should be kept in the
drawer or chest with the fat silver II
will also keep bright If laid away in a
box OF flour.
One Of the easiest wavs to clean silver
is to wash it with a soft cloth saturated
with kerosene, then rinse il in sCalding
water. 4 long bath in sour milk will
clean badly tarnished silver. II vinegar
Crusts are filled with it and left a while
the films on the inside soon disappear
Alcohol and salt will remove egg stains
Immediately. and alcohol and soda is also
a good cleanser. Many prefer using
alcohol to ammonia. though the latter
quickly does the work.
A Chamos bag filed with powdered
ma agnesia is very useful for polishing all
silver articles An old piece OF velvet
will prove wonderful for polishing silver,
and broken Clothespin is A handy con-
trivanCe. Covered with cloth. the fiat
rounded tip will be most useful in work
ing between the tines Of the forks and
in holdings that require more friction
than a brush can give.
Any woman who owns sterling or Ger

that common baking soda will clean it
in a few minutes. That is what most
jewellers use. Just take plenty OF soda
and a little water and wash between the
hand or with brush. Rinse and dry.

Thursday, september -, 1914.
Astrology finds that this is rather a
fortunate day. Early in the morning the
Sun exercises beneficial sway and late
at night Uranus is friendly. Mercury is
mildly adverse in the hours when plan
etary influence is felt in business affairs.
Uranus wields an influence believed TO
be excellent for tasks and occupations
that demand unusual powers OF concen-
tration and extraordinarily strong men

that under this rule seekers should find.
hidden things should be exposed, and
the searChers Of truth should be success
full"
The government is read as peculiarly
auspicious for aerial navigation and for
the building of airships. Many inven-
tions. will be made. but a number OF
brave men will lose their lives before
winter.
This is fairly favorable day for seek
ing avenues of activity. Those who need
employment may feel that they have
unseen forces assisting them, the seers
declare.
Mercury is in a place that warns spec
ulators against risky investments.
Again managers OF places OF amuse-
ment and principals Of schools are noti-
fed by the aStrOloEerS that tne stars
indicate fires that may cause loss of life.
As Mars is in Libra. the ruling sign OF

for Vienna.
Great prosperity is foretold for certain
parts of Canada Ottawa is under a par

Persons whose birthdate it is have a
lucky omen. Men may expect increase of
business. Travel or change will bring

Children born on this day will have

NOW BEWARE
CHAPPED HANDS
tCoUrirht ,slIl

NCOlgTiEnf, lslA.l
iThe first chilly day is the day to begin
to wage a war against chapped hands.
II you can keep your hands from be-
coming chapped in the transitional
weather between hot and cold, you Will
have little difficulty with them later on.
for il is in the first cold days that they
are especially sensitive to cold.
Chapped hands are almost always
caused by insufficient drying after wash
ing OF perhaps the water was ICY coid
and very hard, or used too hot. Both
extremes are bad for the skin.
To preserve the hands in good condl-
ton in cool weather. they should; when
ever possible. be washed in tepid water
and II this is softened by a teaspoonful
Of boraN so much the better.
Be sure to use a soap Of good quality
and when drying the hands take the
precaution OF rubbing each finger sep
arately.
II the hands are rubbed over once a
day with a slice Of lemon and a httle
cold cream. or il mutton tallow is rub
bed into them thoroughly before gong
to bed at night there will be little danger
OF the skin becoming chapped or rough.
An excellent cold cream-An excellent

Styles in novels come and go and in
this sophisticated age of ours anything
that borders on the 'goody-goody'' style
OF novel so dear TO the hearts of our
grandmothers and mothers is decidedly
out of vogue. And with this change in
taste the novels OF Rosa Nouchette
Carey have suffered a falling OF in pop

appeal: they are simple and unaffected.
and although We smile when we think
of our mothers staying awake all night
to read Not Like Other Girls and
"Only the Gverness" these books were
really no more to be despised than is
much of the light fiction of today. These
books are only little out of style, but
like hoops and bustles, resurrected from
the attic trunks, they strike us as alb
surd.
Rosa Carey was born on September "a,
1910. the eighth child of an English ship
broker Of London. and in her childhood
she used to write little plays for her sis
ters and brothers to act. She was always
ready with stories to tell from her fer
tile imagination.
But she did not begin to write till she
was twenty-eight and then she pub
lished 'Nellie's Memories" a tale which
she had created in her imagination
many years before. 1t met with immedi-
ate success, reaching before many years
the 5000 mark. More novels followed
thick and fast. In all she wrote some
thirty-nine, besides innumerable short
stories for the English magazines. Among
the best liked of her books was Wee
