Utilizing left. overs Is not an economy
II 1t requires too much tine or labor, or
too expensive additions to make them
palatable. Sometimes scraps make
much better fresh eggs than anything
else. The chickens really need some OF
them.
Everything about the kitchen should
be washsble-walls, woodwork, floors or
floor coverings, shelves, furniture and
utensils.
Maybe it doesn't seem quito fair, but
the popular neighbor ID the one who
shares her pleasures and keeps her
troubles to herself.
The only way to be sure of having q
tidy mantel In living room or kitchen
seems to be not to use 1t at all or omit 1t
altogether.
When the whites of eggs refuse to
stiffen for cakes, stir in . little baking
powder.
II starched clothes become wet With
rain while on the line do not take them
down. Allow them to remain Gill dry
sad they will retain their original stifI-
ness.
When roasting whole potatoes, do NOT
forget to burst them open when taking
them from the oven TO allow tho escape
Of steam and prevent s0gginess.

Villages and noisy cities,
And they mingled side by side.

Bending down with blushing apples,
Swinging In the summer breeze.

Here sturdy son abides,
With his partner always busy,
