HAVE COVER FOR THE CORN
Vegetable Loses Much Of Its Delicious
Flavor II It ls Allowed to
Become Cold.

In spite Of the weather in which
corn on the ear is served, the vege.
table cools OF very rapidly and, there
fore loses much of its deliciousness.
To preserve the good taste of the
corn 1t is quite essential that every
housekeeper be supplied with q corn
cover. This can be made from q
square Of heavy linen with the cor.
ners cut out. Finish the edge with q
buttonhole scallop. On the outer flap
OF the cover stamp a dainty design;
q wreath Of eyelets and few solid
petals will be sufficient. Embroider
the word Corn" on the flap also. The
size of the case can be determined by
the size of the family-or, in other
words, by the amount of corn that is
served on the table.
Similar covers with the flaps
changed slightly and possibly the
shapes differed, can be made for toast,
rolls or hot biscuit. In fact, a house.
keeper cannot have too many cases for
various purposes. By making sew.

IN THE SEASON OF OYSTERS
Excellent Ways In Which They Can
Be Served to Those Who Are
Fond Of Them.

The practical housekeeper begins to
worry as she sees her summer fruits
slipping away. She does her best to
make good use of the fresh lima
beans, string beans, tomatoes, peaches,
pears and berries. What she cannot
serve fresh and in pies she cans and
preserves.
She worries at the idea of having
meat every day and sometimes twice
when other foods become scarce and
costly. It is father or perhaps one of
the big boys in the family who sug.
gests that oyster season has just be.
gun and that these are far cheaper
and more nutritious than many costly
cuts of meat.
Sauce for Raw Oysters.-Take one
dessertspoonful of tarragon vinegar,
one tablespoonful of olive oil, one.
half teaspoonful Of worcestershire
sauce. the juice of half q lemon and
one-half teaspoonful of tabasco sauce.
Add little salt and half an onion,
grated fine.
Oyster cocktail.-For each glass
take six small oysters, two teaspoon.
fuls lemon juice, one teaspoonful wor-
cestershire sauce, two tablespoonfuls
tomato catchup, a dash Of tabasco
sauce, a pinch of salt and a little
sugar. Serve ice cold.
Oyster cocktaiI.-Have oysters very
cold. Put not more than six in each
cocktail glass or sherbet cup, and just
before sending to the table cover with
dressing made in the following way:
Mix together one tablespoonful of
mushroom catchup, two tablespoonfuls
Of strained lemon Juice, five drops of
tabasco sauce and salt to taste. This
quantity will make three cocktails.
Serve thin slices of brown bread and
celery with the cocktails.

EASY TO DYE AT HOME
NO NEED TO SEND WATERFALL
TO PROFESSIONALS.
Housewife May Save Much Expense
and Achieve Equally Good Results
by Doing the Work Herself
Some Useful Hints.

? In almost every household in the
spring and fall there are articles for
household and personal use that must
be sent to the dyers. These can be
done equally well at home.
Now that one dye can be bought
which will answer alike for silk, cot
ton and wooden fabrics, success is
'well-nigh assured if the directions on
the packet are strictly followed. These
are usually explicit, and experienced
dyers need no other; but the amateur
is apt to strike snags despite direc-
tons. She may not think it necessary
to clean the article to be dyed, but oil
or grease of any kind kills dye, so
that any garment known to be greasy
at all should be soaked in a warm So
luton Of ammonia and water for half
an hour, then thoroughly rinsed in
hot water before going into the dye
pot. Cotton goods should be washed
in hot soapsuds and given thorough
rinsing. To leave soap in will inter-
fere with the dye.
When dyeing cotton or mixed goods
they should be allowed to become cold
in the dye bath. Dyes set very SLOW
ly in these fabrics, so the cooling pro.
cess is necessary to success. Wool.
ems, on the contrary, absorb the dye
quicker, and may be rinsed while hot.
Closely woven wooden goods should be
boiled little longer than those loose.
~ woven.
Wooden goods Of any weave should
never be allowed to boil fast. A gen.
tie simmering will bring the best re.
suits. If boiled violently, the tiny
hairs mat and cause shrinkage, be-
sides making the material close and
boardlike.
The fiber of linen, being harder and
tougher than that Of wool, silk or
mixed goods, requires longer and
faster boiling. Linen should be al
lowed to boil until the desired shade
is obtained. This will be longer than
In the case of the other materials men,
toned.
Silks are so often weighted with fill
ers that on dyeing them they will fall
apart. It has been proved that six
teen ounces Of silk can, with filters,
be made to weigh double that amount.
Good silks, satins and ribbons will dye
satisfactorily, but it is waste Of time
to bother with cheap silks. It will be
better to wash them through and use
for Innings or trimmings when making
over garments.
Two different articles may be dyed
to match II they are the same color
before being dyed. II otherwise, it is
practically impossible to dye them to
match, but they will dye black.
The home dyer should guard against
overdyeing. Use only the quantity
given in the directions.
Never wiring dyed articles too firm
~, and always dry in the shade. The
dyeing process goes on until the arti-
Gle is dry, consequently any portions
exposed to the sun will dry quickly
and the result will be a streaky gar
ment.

most interesting differences Of opinion
as to the correct method OF dealing
with Mexico.
The course of president Wilson can

one lie has both made war and de-
clIned TO make war on Mexico. We can
not admire him for keeping the peace.
because he took and held for season
the chief port Of Mexico. We cannot
praise him for making war, because
his little war was without adequate
motive or purpose, and because he. in
The NacO case. absolutely failed in the
performance or his duty. His latest Ut
terances indicate determination TO
leave the whole problem TO his sue
CessOr.
Me2ico is in q very bad condition It
would be difficult TO name one OF ner
leaders Who does not richly deserve TO

good government by force: Let Us first

Considering the increased population OF
Mexico. We could not expect to conquer
that country without a loss at least
equal TO that OF the former war The
loss by battle would probably be
greater and that by disease might be
much less.
After the conquest, We would have
the task Of preparing the people for
self government. for no sane man
could wish to annex 100000 MeXi-
cans. This would be an elaborate pro-
gram Il might be worth the cost. but
