SOME PLAIN FACTS.

Dear Sisters Of the Social Corner
Why should a woman work sixteen
hours a day to her husbands eight
The only reason offered Is that as
a partner she cannot do her part in
less time.
Then the husband might do some of
II, or hire some one TO help.
A serious, continued illness Of a few
weeks costs as much as hired woma n
would cost for a year.
II is well to keep in mind that
caskets and funerals are the heaviest
depressors Of the heart and depletors
Of the purse.
Look at this for a daily routine for
a farmers wife:
1870 a. m.-Arises.
$3.50 to s O. m.-Cooks breakfast,
waits on the table. washes dishes.
to 1880 a m@Cleans house. gete
children ready for school.
1880 to IL a. intakes care Of
chickens, milks cows, separates cream
and sometimes takes IL TO the cream
cry; churns. does the washing, irons.
II q. m to p. meets dinner
waits on table. washes dishes
to p. m-Does the family mar
keting, puts up fruit, mends. tends
the family garden and helps the men
when help Is short
to 8 .. m--Cets supper washes
dishes. milks, cares for the chickens
and calves and generally winds up the
odds and ends Of the day.
s to $3.50 p m.-Puts the children to
bed and retires

Dear Editor and Sisters Of the
Social Corner:-I have read the Social
Corner page each week and thought
would like to be one of you l think

Have any of the sisters tried putting
dates in their cooked cereals. Cut
them up and put in about five minutes
before you take the cereal from the
stove. They give it a fine flavor.
Canned Beets-BoiI the beets until
tender, then remove the outside skin.
Slice. and fill your jars. then heat the
vinegar to the boiling point and pour
over sliced beets and seal at once
These are very good for use in the
winter.

HOW THINGS ARE DONE in OUR
FAMILY

Dear Social Corner Sisters: There
is never an end to the little domestic
helps which are of help and value in
the home.
Let me present a few suggestions
you may not all be familiar with:
For luncheon try soft cheese sand
witches fried in butter.
Pour melted butter on the top of
canned tomatoes before sealing to keep
them sweet.
A sprig Of parsley dipped in vinegar
and eaten after the meal of which
onions formed a part will remove the
onion odor from the breath. - =
To make f1aky mashed potatoes use
hot milk and beat hard
Crate an apple into your horserad-
ish and you will have a fine relish.
If brushed with the white of an egg
before the fruit is put in. pie crust
will not be soggy.
To whip thin cream, or augment, add
the white of an egg.
For FASTING labels, etc. use white of
egg: they viii not come loose and will
stand dampness and water.
When frying oysters add a little
baking powder to the cracker crumbs.
To boil eggs until the white is "set"
cover with cold water and put over
the fire until they come to a boil.
Many of you may know these things,
but the young housekeeper may get
assistance from them.

No water plant Is more attractive

To the Departed.

To the Departed.
. I know thou hast gone to the place
! of thy rest.
Then why should my soul be so sad
I know thou hast gone where the
weary are blest.
Where the mournertlooks up and is,
glad.
Where Love cast aside. in theland of
its birth
Tho stains that it gathered In this.
And Hope the sweet singer that glad
dened the earth,
Sits asleep on the bosom OF Bliss.
I know thou hast gone where thy
forehead is starred.
With the beauty thatfdwelt in thy
soul;
Where the light of thy.loveliness can
not be marred
Nor thy heart be fiungIback from its.
goal
know thou hast drunk OF the Lethe
; that fows
( In q land where they do not forget:
That casts over memory only repose,
And takes from it only regret
In thy far-away dwelling. wherever
know thou hast glimpses of mine,
u
as music to me,
have not yet learned to resign.
In the hush of the night. on the waste
Of the sea.
Or alone with the breeze on the hill,
have ever a presence which whis-
pers OF thee, u.s.
And my spirit lies down and Is still.
This eye must be dark which so long
has been dim.
Ere again 1t can gaze upon thine;
But my heart has revealings OF thee
. ond thy home,
In many q token and sign.
I never look up with a vow to the
sky,
But q light like thy beauty is there:
And hear low murmur like thine
In reply,
When pour out my spirit in prayer.
And though. like a mourner that sits
by the tomb,
am wrapped in a mantle OF care
Yet the grief OF my spirit-oh, call it
not gloom
Is not the wild grief Of despair.
BY sorrow revealed. as the stars are
by night
Far off bright vision appears,
And Hope. like the rainbow. a creature
Of light.
Is born. like the rainbow. in tears.
