A model husband, one day, passed
window display of aluminium ware
and, being attracted by it's superior
brilliant appearance. he entered the
store for a closer inspection. He was
assured that it would materially les
sen his wife labors, because the
utensils are so light in weight and
consequently easy to handle, and that
it is an easy matter to sustain their
original lustre.
The discreet salesman pointed out
to him that he would save consider
able on fuel, because the utensils
heated so rapidly and retained the
heat longer than those of other ware.
He learned that further saving is
obtained in the fact that. as there are
no seams or joints, there Is, there
fore, no possibility of leaks. He was
then informed that the danger of
burned or scorehed food was min
imized, and, when he considered that
the readiness to assimilate heat would
obyiate the annoying delay in prepar-
ing breakfast, he purchased COM
plete set, and Immediately saw visions
of a happy wife and some good meals.
Imagine his CONSERVATION when, six
months later, his wife informed him
that all her saucepans were ruined
and useless, says a writer in Subur-
ban Life.
Naturally, he complained to the
merchant, and returned home with
many valuable hints on the care of
aluminium, with the result that his
wife soon restored the utensils to
their pristine brilliancy.
Manufacturers may guarantee their
wares, but it requires the cooperation
of the housewife to fulfill the guaran-
tee Ordinarily, simple soap and hot
water are all that are necessary to
KEEP aluminium in perfect condition;
but, if the immaculate housewife con-
siders a polish necessary, she should
avoid using any gritty substance.
White-metal polishes will do nicely.

strenuous treatment especially If

and pinks as the prevailing colors
for the design. These are made in

They are not confined to the larger
beds, however, as they make most at
tractive coverings for the child's crib
and Innings for the sides to prevent
draughts, and to protect the child
from contact with the brass or iron
sides of the usual nursery bed. They
may carry out the color scheme OF
the nursery paper and hangings.

Attacking the Dishwashing Problem.

Attacking the Dishwashing Problem.
AS | watched Lucy (aunt's house
hold helper clear away the break
fast things this morning it came to
my mind that I was mighty glad !
didn't have to wash those dishes.
We'd had broiled mackerel, which
left the plates flshy and sticky and
unpleasant to handle. Aunt is such
a lover of all housework that i
wondered how she ever got herself
TO like dishwashing. you can eoaeh
me until I'm a hundred" ] told her,
but youll never get me to like wash
ing dishes, as you do
II hope not" she replied quietly.

dislike 1t to this day.
was a bit surprised you never
seem to dislike doing dishes on
Lucy's day out, so ! thought you
didn't mind"
my dear, I've heard of women
who would rather dust than anything
else in the world, and women who q
rather iron linen or even scrub, but
I've never met a woman who en-
loved dishwashing. The only thing
left to do is to make this really
monotonous task just as easy as pos
sible, and | believe that after trying
forty-nine ways and means during
the last seven years the plan we now
use makes dishwashing less distaste-
full than any way I've heard OF.
First, we stack all the dishes on
the tray, and wheel 1t into the kitchen
at the right of the sink. Each plate
is carefully scraped with this little
hardwood plate scraper. Then plates
are placed in this special sink dish
pan. You'll notice that it Is oblong
In shape SO that 1t fits exactly, and
on the bottom there Is a drain which
permits the water to pass off so that
we never have to lift the pan of water
and dump 1t. and fragments of food
never get into the sink basin
ION days when we have hot water
we use this fountain dishmop with
rubber hose attachment, so that We
wash each dish with absolutely fresh
water, and our hands never need
touch the water. On other days We

'I'll wait here till you get back"
said Billy Brown to Davie Dear.
Dayie had gone over to Billy's to
play, and found him on the front
steps, trying to carve boat out of
a piece of pine wood. Immediately
Davie had wanted to make boat,
too, and Billy had told him that
he'd find some wood in the wood
box in the cellar.
Billy's knife was new and he was
very proud of 1t.
See what a fine piece l found"
cried Davie, q minute or two later,
as he came around the corner of
the house, waving an oblong piece
of wood. This is a jim-dandy!"
SOS mine," declared Billy, "see
Mines better; its smoother"
"It is not"
1T is, too. You wait till l get
started on it, Davie pulled his
own knife, the one that uncle Dick
had given him, from his pocket.

knife with his head on one side. IF

Huh! Let me try it," said Billy,
with scorn.
Davie shook his head.
mo, sirl | don't want you to

it, Billy"
Huh" said Billy again, who's
afraid?"
NO" replied Davie, firmly, "I
know you're not afraid, but if you
cut your thumb it'll bleed, and be
sore, and--and you won't be able
to whittle your boat"
you know your knife won't cut.
That's why you won't let me try

"It will, too, cut"

The boys looked up to see Mary

A Sensible Coat Hanger

A coat hanger may be padded and
covered with cretonne or chintz in
stead of silk or ribbon.
9 It makes a strong, substantial
cover, and If the chintz is of good
design the hanger will be very quaint
and pretty This would be an excel
lent way to utilize your small pieces
of material, says an exchange.
Wrap the hook with narrow ribbon
matching some shade in the chintz.
A little different arrangement can be
obtained by twisting in the usual
way and winding the ribbon around
the hanger at the base of the hook;
then fastening it securely with needle
and thread. A rosette of ribbon can
be added to the side of the hook II
desired. Scent the padding before
covering or make sachet bags and at
tach to the base of the hook with
long, narrow ribbons so that they
will hang inside the garment or coat,

and cut into large pieces, scraping
out all seeds with an iron spoon.
Weigh the pieces and to every
pound allow one pound of the best
double refined loaf sugar and a
small orange or lemon. Crate the
pieces of pumpkin on a coarse

it into a preserving pan with grated
pumpkin, the yellow rind of orange,

Hints as to
Its Care
ALUMINIUM WARE WILL KEEP IT'S SHINE
FOREVER IF GIVEN PROPER ATTENTION

care has not been exercised in regu-
lating the heat. BY the way, heat
passes through aluminium twice as
fast as through tin, and three times
as fast as through iron, and 1t is the
quiet, even heat, rather than the
violent motion, which cooks food
properly. As aluminium stores up
more heat and retains it longer than
any other metal, the heat should be
turned on full at first to heat
quickly, and then reduced accord
ingly; but, If by chance the latter
has been neglected, and the bottom
becomes burnt, O cleanser will be
necessary. In this case, never apply
alkaline substances. Ammonia, lye,
soda, potash and strong powders
will discolor aluminium beyond repa-
ration.
A wooden spoon will be found
more practical for scraping than a
knife but, IL the pan is badly
scorched, ii Is advisable to pour in
hot water, put on the cover, and boil
hard for a few minutes, then scrape
with the wooden spoon or a clothes
pin, if the regular brush will not re-
move the burnt food. A very fine
emery paper will effectually cleanse
the utenSil.
The housewife above referred to
restored her much abused and long
neglected saucepans that, through
her ignorance in the care of alumi-
mum ware, seemed ruined, by di-
luting four tablesponfuls of oxalic
acid crystals in ono gallon of wa
ter. She boiled this in the injured
vessels exactly five minutes, and
then washed them with hot water
and soap. She would have had the
same success had she allowed the
solution to remain cold in the pans
overnight. Aluminium itself does
not become discolored; so, when any
discoloration is noticed, it may read
lily be removed by the use of a good
cleaning powder. Sometimes the
cooking of green fruits, especially
rhubarb, will have the same effect.

SIX INTERESTING
HOUSEHOLD HINTS

To add breadcrumbs to scrambled
eggs improves the dish and makes the
eggs go further.
Brass, silver or Sheffield plate that
has been laequered should never be
cleaned with any metal polish, but
merely rubbed with a soft cloth.
1t saves trouble to lacquer such ar
ticle. The lacquer can be bought and
applied with a soft brush. The arti-
Gle will keep bright while the lacquer
remains intact.
Fresh parsley, celery leaves, sliced
lemon, sliced hard boiled eggs and
triangles of golden brown toast are
valued as garnlshes.
Pineapple juice with honey is a sore
throat remedy that appeals to many.
Common baking soda will clean q

To Preserve Pears

: Pare them very thin and simmer
in thin syrup. Let them lie a day
or two. Make the syrup richer ana

are clear; then drain and dry in the

they may be kept in the syrup and
dried as wanted, which makes them
richer.
