ing the hard work that has been car

among the potatoes is found this year
throughout the county, particularly
less black leg. A large part of this
favorable condition is due to the fact
that fully one-half of the seed was
treated with formaldehyde, something
that has never before been done. The
treatment of course entails some work,

In case of food:
Seventh. If in the manufacture, sale,

huckleberries, popcorn, sailed peanuts,
raspberries, ice cream cones, potato
chips, bread, shelled nuts, cheese.
Particular care should be taken in
enclosed windows where food products
are displayed that the proper amount

of these articles of food Care should
also be taken that ventilation is CIV

Other fruits that are often eaten raw

OLD CHICKEN FOR FRYING
More Economical and as Appetizing
as Young Bird If Prepared in
This Fashion.

Few women know that from the
much-despised old hen one can make
q delicious dish of fried chicken. The
market price of old fowl is always
from to cents less per pound than
that for the young birds; also, the
former has the better flavor.
Clean and cut up the old bird as for
stewing (this must be done in the
morning for an evening dinner), put in
stew pan two small onions, some pars-
ley, salt to taste and pinch of pap
rika- Add the chicken and enough
water and stew gently until tender.
Do not take the fowl from the stew
pot too soon, as herein lies the secret
of tasty meal, but allow it to remain
in its own juices until you are ready
to fry it. Then remove to a platter
and lightly -four each piece.
Have your frying pan hot; add your
butter and few tablespoonful Of
olive oil. Fry to a delicate brown and
serve in bed Of lettuce, with milk
dressing, or cream, if preferred.
The chicken stock will make fine
cream of chicken soup or clear soup
for luncheon
If the hen is fat, there will be on the
soup stock, when cooled, a large
amount of rendered fat, which maybe
skinned off and used for frying pota-
toes, thus affording saving in lard.

PROPER CARE OF BLANKETS
Usefulness May Be Greatly Added to
by Adoption of Methods De-
scrbed Here.

II housewives knew what great
saving there was in having three or
even four sets Of blankets for their
beds, in as many weights, they would
not hesitate to make the outlay for
them. The cotton or silk and cotton
blankets Of June, July and August
should be washed and rebound, II
needed, and put away in their tar bags
to give place to those of cotton and
wool
Now. the Atwood blankets, as all
housewives know, are most dlfhcult
to launder perfectly, and are not al
ways satisfactorily dry cleaned, so
every effort must be made to keep
them clean. This is done by using
them only in the extreme cold months,
December, January and February,
then shaking and airing them care
fully, putting them away. If the up
per sheet is very long, so that 1t folds
over, and the spread is used over the
blankets, they may really be used Two
seasons or more without real wash
fng being necessary.
This method prolongs the life OF the
blankets and makes them always seem
new. And once in two years one may
afford to buy a new pair of blankets
to use for best or to replace those
that have grown the shabbiest In
service.
Old blankets are always in demand
in the household economy for under
blankets, ironing board pads, scrub
rags and polishing hardwood floors.
and in a dozen other ways.
The Indian blankets offered in our
markets today are rather new, but
already in demand, especially those
of the Navajo weaving. This tribe
numbers about 800 natives and they
have a million sheep on their reserva-
tons The designs on their blankets
are geometrical as a rule, and the
colors are black, blue, red, yellow and
gray. They are warm and durable, so
are in great demand for northern
travellers and residents at the army
posts. They are also quite dominant
note in the eastern blanket centers.

her head on his shoulder with sim
plicity truly bucolic. So might the
Parkers' shifty-eyed stable-boy be
wooing the slatternly maid-servant IN
some secluded place behind the barn.
Henrietta Strengthened quickly and
blushing crimson after the manner OF

her hair so that one side of her Golf
fure might not appear unnecessarily
f1attened before the sharp eyes of the
youthful Billy.
aren't we silly?" said she, glancing
at Bartlett with the same expression
with which the maid-servant would
have glanced at the stable-boy.
why silly?" demanded Bartlett.
eve love each other, don't we? Why
shouldn't l put my arm around you"
oh" said Henrietta, you should,
but er-er we seem so old for such
things"
"Old?" Bartlett laughed. Love is
the Oldest thing in the world"
81 know" agreed Henrietta, "but not
before people"
why. not before people? People
have become too artificial. They must
not love, nor hate, nor have any feel
ings, apparently, before people. Feel
ings are interesting and we ought to
show them more"

mushy."

THAT isn't love. Merely an in

NO." whispered Henrietta. tits just

She paused, gazing before her into
the deepening shadows of the evening
with misty eyes, for the first time
realizing the completeness of life.
She nodded after a moment toward
the approaching Billy and the Water
melon. What's the matter with the
children? They look so serious, and
yet they must have something to eat,
for they are carrying bundles"

too, but, of course, if he we're paid,
why that made difference. He would
be around as soon as he could get his
load in. 1t was the last load, anyway.
The Watermelon turned and far in
the distance, echoing and re-echoing
through the hills, he heard again the
scream of the approaching train.
BILLY will be across the tracks by
this time," he thought. Il will have
to wait for it to pass. Glad it amt
freight"
AS he approached the cut, he saw
the smoke of the train rising above
the bushes, an express, tearing its way
through the evening calm like some
terrible passions soaring the soul. The
Watermelon stepped to the edge of
the cut and glanced carelessly down

with seeing her. AS he shot down the
bank, he felt for and drew his knife.
The engineer had seen them and the
engine screamed a warning, while the
emergency brakes shrieked as they
slipped, grinding on the rails. On his
knees, with one slash, the Watermelon
cut the lacings which, becoming knot

one and the same move he had re-
gained his feet and forced her fat
against the bank, as the train whirled
