Some Uses for Old Papers.

Do our housekeepers appreciate a pile
If old papers put in some get-at-ablt
place, for instant use? Perhaps your
,hoes are thin; a layer or two of paper
inside the sole will keep your feet dry
or il folded and placed inside the dres,
waist will protect the lungs on . cold
drive.
A soft newspaper will polish windows
md lamp chimneys better than cloth.
Layers of newspapers folded evenly
and placed under the stair carpet a,
each tread, may cheaply be made to take
the place of felt.
A dampened newspaper torn In bits
and scattered over dusty carpet, will
take up the dust and dirt better than
salt or tea leaves.
In the kitchen they are invaluable.
Papers are preferable to cloths in re.
moving the black from the outside oil
pots and pans, and then paper and smut
may be burned. After the fat is poured
from frying pans, they should be wiped
nut clean with piece of paper before
they are put in the dishwater. This
saves the hands, keeps the water cleaner,
aud the dishcloth in better order.
A newspaper under the cburn will
keep milk off the floor while churning.
Much cleaning of the kitchen table
may be saved by using paper under the
pans and kettles.
Before beginning meal, spread pa
pers over the kitchen cabinet table, then
they may be gathered up and burned and
no muss or stains left on the cabinet.
The range may be kept bright and
clean by rubbing with soft newspapers
after each meal.

Sweeping.

Before beginning to sweep, cover any
articles that are easily soiled. Raise the
windows and when possible open the
doors. II broom Is used, dampen 1t
slightly with clean water or cover 1t
with a cotton flannel bag, II sweeping .
bare floor. Sweep with short firm
strokes. Stand erect when you sweep
and close the mouth firmly. Take up
the dust and burn it as fast as you gath
er it togel her. Be most careful about
the cracks and corners. These are the
hiding places for disease germs and
should be kept especially clean. II a
carpet is being swept, be sure to run the
edge of the broom into the crack left be-
tween the carpet and the bassboards.
A carpet sweeper is sometimes used.
|; is good for the middle OF the room,
but not good for the cracks or corners.
The vacuum cleaner is being used In
many homes and it Is the ideal way OF
removing the dust. az 1t can be more
thoroughly done than with either the
broom or a carpet sweeper. 1t sucks
the dust up into box or bag and keeps
the air free from contamination. The
dust should then be burned.
There never was time in the history
of housekeeping when the housekeeper
had so macy cleaning devices, and there
never was time when the broom was 80
Dearly crowded out of use by these bet
ter devices. In many homes the broom
s never used.
Do not dust Immediately after sweep.

Curious People Of New ou'nsa.
New Guinea contains some OF the
most remarkable people in the world.
the Papuans. One curious fact about
one Of the tribes Of New Guinea u
that they wear what are probably the
largest hats II existence. These hats
are from six to eight feet high and
gorgeously colored. They are adorned
with feathers. coiored Abers and
shells. beaks of hornbills and plumes
of the birds Of paradise. They are
handed down from father to son as
heirlooms. and a native will not be
tempted to part with his headdress
for any price. New Guinea. too. con-
tains some of the smallest people In
the world. pygmies that were only dis
covered a few years ago. for the great
island has still thousands Of square
miles that have not been explored.
These pygmies are only just over four
feet in height. but what they lack In
inches they make up In ugliness.

Tho Miracle Of Digestion.


Have you considered how like . mir
acle Is the process Of dIgestionP We put
q deaf looking brown bulb into the
ground and when from It rises . stately
white lily We say, "Behold . miracle. !"
We give q man Q bit of toast and bacon
for breakfast and when it appears later
In wonde rful bit of statesmsnship or .
great war maneuver, We fail to behold
the miracle. Through what wonderful
ORC cesses, all unplanned by as, unaided
by our hands, that bit Of food has been
changed into thinking, moving, heating
power.
Ground up by the teeth, changed by
the chemical action OF the gastric juices,
It 10 sent on It's way into the blood
stream that Is the vsritable river Of life.
Other mills to grind. other chemists
along the way, exert their influence on
the bit of food, and slowly, but surely,
it becomes tho man himself, seeing,
hearing, feeling, walking, thinking, do
ing. Whether We will 1t or not, the
processes 60 on and our food is changed
into muscle and bone, nerve and brain
cell. 10 and out, up and down, 1t Is
tossed by merry red corpuscles, until at
last 1t 10 fit to become part Of the per-
sonality and has its influence on our
work.
Without our willing to, without our
planning 1t, without the aid OF our
hauds, this process goes on, but We can
will whether or not the food is the kind
that nourishes, and sustains and
strengthens, and does its work at last
With cry of pain or song Of cheer.
We can plan the kind and the amount OF
food that is to make up brain and mus
Gle and make our work produce the
energies and achievement Of . useful
man.
1t Is a miracle of bringing the dead to
life. What was yesterday merely food
powsrless to act or think or feel, is now
writing an essay or editing newspaper,
teaching room full of boys and girls,
or managing a shopful of men, or caring
for the home and making it the center
of happiness and usefulness. Whether
these things shall be done we'll or Ill,
whether one has the power to be useful
10 any Of these directions or merely an
idler, depends far more than We are apt
20 believe on the kind and the amount of
food that We pour into the mill that
grinds out living and working force.
