Akron, Ohio, Dec. 17.-At 5:45 a. m.
every wagon at the Blackbird coal
yards is loaded and ready to pull out.
Then out of the tiny Office on the hill
just above Carroll street steps little
woman with a bright red cap. She
superintends the weighing of the coal,
bills ii and sends the drivers on their
way.
Mrs. Henry Alden, formerly movie
actress, a member of the Pathe COM
pany in New York, holds the unique
position of Akron's only woman coal
dealer. She likes selling coal ever so
much more than riding bronchos for
the movies Its awfully thrilling
to be a movie actress, but it's more
exciting to hear the jingle of dollars
in my strong box" she said. liked
playing leads for the Pathe people, but
it took me away from home and hub
by. In the coal business | go home
every night, cook supper, sew and
spend the evening at my own fireside.
It's heaps more fun.
Then, too, l think every woman
ought to have some business or
other; that is, if she hasn't any
babies to take her time. 1t keeps her
from getting morbid, jealous, lima
tured and a score of other things that
are apt to affect the woman with too
little to do
When bored with keeping books, So
Letting orders and talking up BLACK
bird" coal to prospective customers,
Mrs. Alden shuts up shop and goes to
one of the moving picture houses
where Pathe films are showing. Ten
to one she sees herself as Jane Media,
doing "some fool stunt or other on
the screen, and has a good laugh at
her own expense.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.


Avoid using grease at all upon
your aluminium griddle. Cakes will
not stick to it, while if it is creased
! the grease burns on it and blackens
! il. Do not use securing powder, as
this ware is very easily scratched
Steel-wool is good for cleaning alumni
mum.
A good storm door can be made
by covering the screen doors with
table oilcloth. Draw oilcloth smooth
ly over screen door frame and all
and tack neatly on the inside. To
make a window cut out the square
size you want for a window and glue
or stitch isinglass on.
To keep cover on cream pitcher,
have a supply of waxed paper and
some ordinary rubber bands. Cut
paper large enough to come we'll
down around pitcher; the rubber
band holds it tight and keeps odor
and dirt from the milk.
MINCEMEAT.
Mincemeat-Boil until tender two
pounds of lean beef: while warm re-
move all gristle and bone; when cold.
chop fine, add two and one-half
pounds brown sugar, half pound each
of suet and citron chopped fine;
chopped apples in proportion of one
and one-half bowls of apples to one
of meat. One teaspoon each of all
spice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and
salt; add one pound each of raisins
and currants, one pint of cider and
one of fruit mice
Economy Mincemeat - Try using
the much-despised hogs head for
making your winter mincemeat
Have the butcher get you a medium
sized hogs head and cut it up. Soak
over night and cook until meat drops
from bones. The tongue and ears
can be used for picking, the fat may
be fried out and makes very fine
drippings. Separate the lean meat and
put through meat chopper. With this
amount of meat use about eight pounds
OF apples; also use one quart of the
liquor. Instead of cider. use one
lemon and a can of sour cherries. one
pound of raisins, chopped; two tablc- |
spoons each of ground cloves, nutmeg
and cinnamon; two ounces candied !;
orange peel will add to the flavor. A !
little water may be added while cook i
ing. This makes delicious and econ
Omical mincemeat
