How many housewives really under
stand the uses Of paper? They are %
many that there is no counting them'
for paper can take the place of more
things than any other material known
II can be used instead OF cloth II makes
very good substitute for wood. 1t can
be used in place Of iron or stone, as In
the case Of car wheels and pavements'
But the chief triumphs of paper are won
right in the household, where It saves
more time and trouble TO the woman VINO
knows how to use It than any other one
invention OF mankind.
There are paper lamps and candleshades.
There are paper plates. napkins, doilles,
centrepieces, lunchcloths, tablecloths, nap.
kin rings, fancy caps and favors for all
the festival days TN the year. There Is
shelf paper that saves sorubbing snelves'
There IL paraff1ne paper for every imagin-
able use And, newest Of ALL Is the pack
age for travellers and plcnickers contain
ing paper comb, paper towel sanitary pa
per and washcloth.
The woman who knows how to use pa
per may cut down her laundry bill one
half and reduce the bother of washing
dishes woodwork and the like to the
verIest minimum. The washing OF cook
ing dishes, which is a bugbear to every
woman who objects to having her hands
feel like a nutmeg crater, loses all its
terrors when the housekeeper tries the
paper cooking-bags, which keep In all
the flavors and Juices OF the food and
leave nothing to wash afterwards. And
in cases where the bag will not serve
there is infinite comfort In the ordinary
paper cracker-boN that comes parafhne-
lined. 1t makes the best kind Of a pan
for cooking cake. The cover should be
cut off and n wide tape tied lengthwise
around the box, so that as the cake
expands in baking Il will not burst out
OF shape When the cake is done, the
corners Of the box are cut down, the
cake removed and the box thrown into
the waste-basket.
The convenience OF paper dishes of all
sorts is too obvious to need special mem
ton. Most people think that these paper
dishes are confined to the cups and plates
that have proven such blessing to the
pioncker and the motorist; but the house
wife knows that for trifiing expense
she can get paper tubs, pals, jelly
glasses and cooking dishes. which save
space and diminish the work OF caring
for the permanent articles.
There are paper cases of all sizes and
length for protecting suits and gowns
hanging in the closet and the big medi-
Gated paper mothbags form an absolute
safeguard for all woolens and furs.
The paper tablecloths, napkins and
towels are not only labor-savlng, but alb
solutely sanitary. The roller towel espe-
cially is a relic of the dark ages that
should be banished from every kitchen
If II were replaced with a roll of clean
sanitary paper towels, there would be
far less danger of the spread of In
fectious skin diseases.
When 1t comes to public places, such as
the washrooms of hotels, railway stations
and Pullman cars, the use of the paper
towel should be enforced by law. 1t is
true that the linen towels supplied are
to all appearance clean, but such danger

his duty to cooperate with his wife in

WINGS THAT INTEREST MAID AND MAIKON


II an engaged giri has been 30 unfortu-
nate as to quarrel with her future par
snts-in-law. she must do her very best
to make tho peace.
The FIRST thing she must DO is to ask
herself how much she is to blame in the
matter. Let her ask herself these dues-
tions:
Have aggravated them in any way7'
'Ifave I spoken against them behind
their backs9"
"Do try to think the best OF their mo-
tives and actions3"
'TIas my behavior, by word or deed,
given them cause for annoyance7"
II she finds by careful self-examination
that she has not hurt them in any way,
she must not allow herself TO become eni-
bittered, but must stlll be keenly anxious
to patch up the quarrel.
Should her conscience tell her that she
is to blame. then she must at once be
ready to make amends, and ask forgive
ness This is not only due TO those whom
she has wronged, but, as a point of
honor and loyalty sne owes It to her
future husband TO do so.
Far the best course for every girl to
take Is to see that her behavior TO her
future parents-in-law is always such as
to insure peace and harmony. No bitter,
resentful words about them should ever
pass her lips. She must remember that
her future parents-in-law are her sweet
hearts people, that they are very dear
to him, and that II she sights them she
also wounds him.
She may rest assured that II her sweet
hearts home folk are in the wrong he
will stand up for her and champion her
rights.

Il FEW FACTS ABOUT BEEF TEA
By a Careful Housekeeper

There are good many mothers and
nurses who have a wrong idea about the
value of beef tea as a food
Now, I am not going to say anything
against the usefulness Of beef tea It
has its uses, and, II they are understood,
beef-tea has its value; but it's value is
not that OF very nourishIng food. Beef
tea simply isn't food
IT IS A sTIMULANT
Some people. when you say this to them,
look at you with bewilderment and ask.
Then what on earth IS it?''
The answer to this is, 'Tt Is stimu-
Iant.''
Do yeu clearly grasp the difference be-
tween food and stimulant?
You can easily see the difference there
Is between whip and a bag OF oats or
between poker and a shovelful OF Goals
In both these cases the first is a stimu-
liant, the second is a food.
You know what would happen TO
horPe II you drove It for two or three
days with no sustenance but the stimu-
lation OF whip, or what would become
Of ire under constant polking and no
feeding with coal.
This doesn't prove that there is no value
IN a whip or a poker. does il? II proves
that these implements have their uses.
but thar their uses have their limits.
Beef tea, by itself, won't support life as
= continued diet. but 1t is very valuable
- a stimulant. and oftentimes really
nourishing food cannot be digssted until
some hind Of stimulant has been taken

the body.
Beef tea is splendid IN such cases, and
% FAR greater use than spirits.
AFTER AN ACCIDENT

lows accidents, sometimes not very severe

Beef tea can never have this disastrous

is the richest). and hll up with soda

HOW TO MAKE BEEF TEA
Remember that boiling beef and wa

tea.

Then the whole should be slowly

the liquor is poured from the meat, and
this is we'll pressed to extract all the
goodness from 1t.
Here is a recipe for beef tea given by
a famous doctor. 1t is very simple.
Take three-quarters of a pound of
lean gravy-beef. remove all skin and
gristle. cut into pieces an inch square,
place in basin with q Sill q. e., a

to allow the water to draw out all the
juices OF the meat.
Next take the pieces OF meat out OF
this water, put them into a Jar with a
pint Of cold water. and put the Jar into
a pan Of boiling water for two hours.
After removing the jar, pour the gill
