Hints For The Home

Tea, in which iron nails have been
laid for fortnight, is good re-
storer for faded hair.
A rough, dry skin can be improved
by being rubbed with olive oil, which
is nicer for being perfumed.
If brasses are rubbed every day
with a channels cloth they need only
rarely be polished with a cream or
liquid.
An exercise that acts as a check
to STOPPING, or as an antidote to the
i'll effects of the habit, is to walk
about ten minutes at a time with
the head up and hands clasped behind
the back.
To whiten the neck a preparation
composed of two tablespoonful each
of fresh lemon juice, rosewater and
rectified spirit is recommended; or
merely lemon juice and toilet borax,
mixed, will act as remedy.
The girl who wishes to appear tall
should learn to hold herself upright.
A nicely poised figure gives queen
ly carriage, whereas the habit of
STOPPING destroys the outline of the
figure, and should be guarded against.
When cooking a piece of bacon
housewives should try the plan of
baking it instead Of boiling it in the
usual way. If baked it eats richer.
The tough part of the skin should
be removed before the bacon is put
into the oven.
A savant has just worked out
plan by which people can be shocked
to sleep. 1t seems to us that in this
day of motor cars, and sex stories
in the magazines, people are shocked
enough during the day without put
ting them under with it at night.
Drawers that open and shut with
difficulty are often severe tax on
both time and temper, and the de-
feet may sometimes be very easily
remedied with beeswax. The run
ners, the narrow strips of wood at
tached to the framework, should be
well rubbed with a lump of bees
wax, previously warmed in front of
the fire. Afterwards an occasional
application of furniture polish will
keep the runners smooth. When this
simple remedy fails it is due to some
fault in construction.
A novelty which will appeal to
those who have suffered the depriva-
ton of one arm is combined knife
and fork which has been placed upon
the market recently. The knife blade,
instead of being straight as in the
ordinary utensil, is curved at its
lower end to terminate in four prongs
similar to the conventional fork. The
outer curve of the bend is given a
sharp edge to serve as the knife,
and the curve is designed to facilitate
cutting. The utensil requires only
partial turn of the hand to convert
it into a fork. -
Former Attorney General Wicker
sham said in New York to reporter:
Germany in her efforts to palliate
her breaches of international law
breaks all the rules of logic as thor
oughly as the boy iwho wrote the
black hand letters.
"This letter, which was slipped
under the door of tobacconists whose
window had been smashed by base
ball, said:
"'Deer sir, your winder was broke
by bad boy wot threw it threw for
the purpus. The ball belonged too
me, but an enemee of mine sneaked
it and done the deed too put the
blayme on me. 1 am sorry he dun
it, and that it have give you payne,
and l have prosecuted the perpe-
trailer wot dun it. But you would
not have thee inherent suffer for
the gilty, so, if you have a kind
hart, all will bee forgiven if you drop
thee ball over thee wall. If you
doe not, beware. (Signed) Innocent. )"
