TO KEEP CHILDREN WARM.

good way to keep children warm in winter when they go to school or play out doors; Make chest protectors out of paper four sacks, bind them with white cotton cloth. fasten them on with tape; the front and the back should be the same Sew a piece of tape from back to front under the arm to hold it in position. Also make soles for their shoes from the flour sacks, stitching them twice around the edge; they will stay flat in the shoes if the paper is doubled. Run an elas tic around the aviation cap where it turns back and 1t will stay on their head where it is put and not over one ear or one eye as is often the case. Put a tape on their mittens the length of their sleeve and sew it to the top of their coat sleeve. instead of around their neck. as it does not catch in the hooks at school when they hang up their coats

TO CLEAN JET.

Jet is black. but it is not therefore free from dirt So it behoeves the woman who has taken up the fad or liking for jet ornaments to kHeW how to clean it. This is the way:
 Dip soft cieth in equal parts of grain alcohol and tepid water and rub the jet with this, Dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth.
 Not much trouble is it? But it is an effective method of bringing back pristine freshness to seiled jet erna- ments.
 If you have any old jet ornaments clean them in this way. For, remem- Der their acquired coating of nistfness Is dirt, not an admirable or essential quality of their antiquity.

If you would use it. freshen it to the best of your ability.

 Tn the first place, before removing flowers from the box sprinkle them gently with cold water, then make strong soap suds and put the flowers therein, taking care not to pack too closely together. Every morning they must be taken out of the suds, their stems clipped and laid in cool water.
