Three Household Hints.

When making uncooked icing do
not beat the white of egg; simply
stir in the powdered sugar until stiff
enough. This was told by a profess
sional cake-maker.
Keep cream bottle on the sink
and drop all bits of soap into it and
fill with hot water. This liquid when
cool makes perfect starch. Use the
liquid instead ri cold water when
dissolving the Starch before adding
the boiling water. You also find the
liquid useful for washing dishwash-
ing.
Once month remove the brush
from the carpet-sweeper and wash it
in hot slds. Hang it from two
strings en- the line and when dry
pour over it kerosene oil. When this
has drpped dry replace the brush
in the sweeper. This brightens the
rugs and discourages insects such
as moths, reaches, ants, etc. Also
pour kerosene around the stone step
from the porch (back, of course) and
near he scrap-pail and kitchen
screers. This keeps away flies.

Restful Wall Coverings.

Nature chooses for it's backgrounds
plain stretches of neutral col0rs,
and there are many reasons why we
would do well to follow natures
example. The walls of the home ale
a structural part of the house, sup
posed to be substantial and END .r-
ing, and therefore should be treated
in a dignified manner, as flat surfa-
ces and as backgrounds.
A good rule to follow is that the
ceiling should be the lightest, the
floor the darkest of your color
masses. If your house be small or
of medium size, you will find it ali
aid to have all ceilings tinted in the
same shade and all the woodwork
in the same finish.
Yellow is the color of sunlight
the radiant, stimulating color that
suggests happiness. If you live in
a rainy climate, or if you are inclin-
ed to sadness, by all means have
yellow about you. Not a shade that
has a suggestion of green, but one
of those chamois Bluffs. This shade
will offer a most harmonious back
ground for furniture of mahogany,
willow, weather oak or black wal
nut.
Where rooms are small, and where
they open into one another with
wide doorways, be sure that there is
no great contrast in colors.
Take, for instance, that difficult
hall, living and dining room COM
bination so common and yet so sell
dom well handled. The hall should
breathe peace and serenity; there
fore, as general thing, the so-call-
ed white, or dark green and cream
are good. With this you should have
a living room tinted of brown. This
is warm" color, and would be es-
pecially desirable in room with a
northern exposure. The dining room
might be in pale warm gray-the
gray that conceals faint pink in
its depth. Have your colors melt in
to one another, and you will find that
the water color tints are INST salts

Iowa Autos and Roads.

If the Iowa autos were all out in
one day on display, keeping ten rods
apart for safety of operation, it
would require over 1900 miles OF
permanent highway for them to
stand on. In other words, ten paved
highways across the state of Iowa
would be required, says the Mar
shalltown Times-Republican.
If there are as many autos as that
in Iowa and as much necessity for
hard roads to run them on, If a
horse team could haul about five
times as much at load as it can
over a dirt highway, why in sam
hill do we go dragging along in the
mud every time it rains. If we can
afford 10000 autos we ought to be
able to build enough roads to stand
them on.
