for dozens Of other purposes than giving
flavor to the food We eat. Here are some

keeper may put salt:
After peeling onions. rub the hands
with SALT and wash them in cold water
before using soap and hot water. This
odor.
II the iatirons are rusty rub them thor
oughly with salt. Perhaps the best way
is to spread the salt on a paper and TO
rub the irons back and forth over it.
Throw salt on a coal fire before broil-
ing anything from which fat may drip.
as the salt prevents blazing.
Sprinkle the bottom of the oven with
salt before baking a cake IL the oven Is
hot on the bottom.
Salt Of the rock variety sprinkled on
the asparagus bed kills weeds and at
the same time benefits the asparagus.
Be careful not to add salt to cream

sometimes curdles them.
Sprinkle salt over carpets and rugs be-
fore sweeping them, to keep out the
moths and to brighten the colors.
Salt puts out a fire in the chimney.

WHEN A MAN is MARRIED
COAXING OUR WIVES.
BY ONE WHO IS

my life than when I said those nice
things about you, Myra, dear"
My wife picked up the letter which she
had thrown down, pursed her lips once
more and read it again. AS she was
nearing the end a smile broke out in her
eyes and a blind man would have known
she was relenting. At last she finished
and then hesitated some more
''Myra. don't you believe l meant those
things" I coaxed.
For answer she threw her arms about
me and laughed. 'Of course, I do, Rob-
ert You're the best boy in all the world
and the dearest"
There, I've done it. Perhaps you
wondered what l was driving at when
you began this story. Well. l just want
ed to prove that my wife dearly loves to
be coaxed. Most all of them do. you
know.

The negliglees of the present season
are things of supreme elegance. Every
thing that sayors Of the commonplace
has been discarded. with the result that
the novelties strike a refreshing note
that augur well for their distinctive
vogue.

THE READY-MADE AGE.

AS far as clothes are concerned we
women are lucky to be living in the
"ready-made age" Women whose
household, family business, profes-
sional duties keep them pretty busy
all day long hardly realize how great
a boon to them is the fact that all
manner of clothes can now be had
without the trouble and delay of 60
ing to the dressmaker, tailor or seam
stress.
1t is true-though the remark is
trite-that today is a day of special
ization. five would succeed in any
thing we undertake-from bringing
up our children to being president of
our club-we have to give the sub
ject our undivided attention. The
idea a generation ago was, of course,
that women were leisured sort of be-
ings who could spend hours a day
with the dressmaker, and other hours
pondering over what they were going
to wear.
But now some one else-a special
ist on clothes-does this pondering.
Some one else, aSprofessional model
or dummy of wood and papier
nache, submits to the fittings that we
used to endure. Some one else, a
professional buyer who is paid a
prodigious salary because of her
taste and knowledge of materials,
picks ou. our clothes for US. And all
we have to do is to make a selection,
stand a few minutes for the slight
alterations, and-presto!-we are
clothed, and great deal better than
if we had done the fretting and plan
ming ourselves.
One of the greatest advances made
recently by the clever men and wom-
en- who make and plan our ready
made" wardrobcs for US is in extend
ing their field of activity from the
women OF average" proportions and
youthful faces, to those OF us who
are neither young nor slender. Now
the shops arc as we'll supplied in
models for women who arc "fat and
40" as for I8-ycar-old debutantes-i
though of course the salcswoman is
never tactless enough to let you know
that you are being supplied from that
part OF the stock.
We do deal of complaining about
the increased cost OF most articles of
food. Why not cheer up little at
the thought that oysters remain the
same as far as cost goes and much
improved as far as nourishment and
hcalthfulncss go:
While poultry and meats have been
increasing anywhere from 25 to Isl
per cent in cost oysters have remain
ed the same. And, through the su-
pervision of our governments agents,
oysters are now grown under ideal
sanitary conditions, and are so we'll
"fed" that they compare favorably
with the best of foods as far as nour-
ishment goes.
This good news comes from a re-
cent bulletin issued by the Bureau of
Fisheries OF the United States De-
partment of Commerce, which urges
the more general use of the luscious
bivalves as an article of daily fare.
And, lest you have any fears that the
oyster is germ carrier, the bureau
tells us that they are now quite as
safe as milk, strawberries, lettuce,
celery or other uncooked foods.

garten in San francisco. the first free
kindergarten west Of the Rocky Noun
tains. and from this beginning sixty SIM
liar schools were started in different
localities along the Pacific Coast. When
she was g she married Mr. Sam Bradley
Wiggin and gave up teaching. Two years
before her marriage she had written a
short story for st. Nicholas Magazine.
but it was not till ten years later that
she brought out the books that made her
famous, Patsy and THE Birds
Christmas Carol" These books met with
such great success that Mrs. Wiggin and
her husband went to New York SO as to
be nearer her publishers. and the next
year Mr. Wiggin died. Mrs. Wiggin con-
tinued her writing. and six years later
married Mr.. George Riggs. Besides be-
ing a writer of-distinction Mrs. Riggs is
gifted musician, having composed
many charming kindergarten songs. 1t
has been said of her that she is the
most accomplished woman engaged in
work in America"

IN JACKSON'S DAY.

January s, 1915, Gen. Jackson, his
men and his cotton bales won the
Battle of New Orleans. That is just
100 years ago. Today shot or so
from modern guns would wipe out
the breastworks with which Jack
sons men so easily defended them
selves and a few shells would kill or
scatter all the men behind them,
while their enemy with modern arms
could do all of this without coming
within range of the rifles of that
time. Nevertheless the experience
of the present war in Europe does
not show that war has changed much
since Jackson's day in certain essen
tial matters Jackson imprOvised his
defenses out of the best material that
happened to be at hand, and it prov
ed good enough. Just so in Europe,
a trench and a heap of earth is the
best protection the troops can find
and better protection than engineers
gave them in elaborate Notifications.
Gen. Parkenham's splendid regulars
marched bravely up to the cotton
bales and fell in windrows because
the men behind the cotton bales
could shoot. 1t works the same to-
day in Europe.

THIS YEAR LIFTS

This year let's work as hard with
little more judgment than we used
last year. We ought to learn some
thing from twelve months expert
ence that should increase our etfici-
ency.
Let's pay some attention to the
town, do our little part. Let's boost.
Boosting is like prayer, it helps, but
it needs the work to match it. Let's
each of us do something for the COM
munity, spend a little time doing
work that must be done, quit saying
that we are so busy that we can't
get away to serve an hour or two
upon public project, contribute
some time and some energy as well
as complete mouth patriotism that
sounds good but doesn't actually cut
ice. Let's all do something like that
this year.
Let's take some interest in poll
tics" so called. Let's seek the best
men for our city government and
forget old grudges and the like OF
that.
Let's take some actual interest in
the state in general way getting
outside of our own particular inter-
ests. AS nearly as we can let's con-
slider the state as community and
all interests as common.
Let's pay some attention to our
prison problem.
Let's work together on the good
roads proposition, farmers and city
men alike. Let's study the insur-
ance matter that so much fuss is
making over and urge the right and
equitable thing done. Let's go into
matters of state and community well
fare deeper and know something
about them-enough to come to a
fairly just conclusion in our own
minds.
Let's make fewer new laws and en-
force old ones better.
Let's quit such calamity bowling
as has been going on and trust Iowa
for ano1her big crop.
Locally, let's keep up the pace. We
are in our stride and going strong.
We have been turning the track in
record time Let's simply keep the
pace. Let's not swear off or swear
|on but keep -MarshalltoWn
