Newspaper Cure for Colds.

We usually feel cold in the head
more a short time after we rise from
our bed in the morning. Our heads
become more or less clogged up as we
lie inactive during the night, and We
feel the effect Of the cold worse q
short time after we get up.
When We open the morning paper
and closely scan its columns for the
news we are unconsciously helping to
cure our cold in the head. The fumes
arising from the fresh printers ink
penetrate the nostrils and pass back
through the nasal passages. In short
time they clear up the head greatly,
producing a much different feeling,

BEST MAKE HASTE SLOWLY
Little Really Good and Lasting Work
Has Been Accomplished Under
Strain of Hurry.

"The more haste, the less speed"
is an old proverb that would make
good motto for many people in these
days when most of us are always in
a driving hurry, remarks the Mil
waukee Journal. Work that is hurried
isn't often we'll done. The letter writ
ten in haste sometimes proves to be
illegible, or, what is perhaps worse,
50 nearly illegible that it results in a
misunderstanding that loses far more
time than it would have taken to write
correctly. One may be in such great
haste to complete an article he is
making that he sights some part OF
it. And just that flaw may cause a
break in the machinery and result in
loss of time and great waste.
Then there are the hundreds OF
times when undue haste doesn't in
volve great consequences, but simply
means inferior work that must be
done again some time, and perhaps
cause inconvenience and loss until it
is done over. For an article rightly
made or a task we'll done serves a
better purpose than something COM
pleted in haste. People who do every
thing hastily usually misunderstood.
Some things one may catch quickly
and so deceive himself into thinking
that he can do the whole thing in
minute, not even knowing the import.
ant point that has escaped him. To
make haste slowly" means to ac
complish more, whatever one Is do

Preparation for Home Use,

The woman who values her looks
should drink at least pint of water
daily, and preferably more, including a
tumblerful, either hot or cold, the last
thing at night.
Distilled water is by far the best.
but if hot Is not available, water that
has been boiled and allowed to stand
for two or three hours till 1t has be-
come reaerated is more wholesome
than merely filtered water, especially
in districts where the water contains
an undue amount OF chalk, which, after
boiling, will settle into a sediment
from which the remainder can be
poured off-Philadelphia Press.

BREAD DRESSING FOR STEAK
Many Prefer Meat Prepared in
Casserole to That Broied in
the Regular Way.

If you wish to stuff flank steak
use bread dressing; use it with veg
etables and a small quantity OF liquid
in a casserole. If you do not own one
land you should In these times OF
high prices use any tightly covered
dish. Be sure it is tight so the steam
cannot escape.
Bread stuffing.-Two cupfuls soft
bread crumbs, one-half cupful butter
melted in one-third cupful hot water
or milk, onequarter teaspoonful pow
dered sweet herbs or spiced poultry,
seasoning, one beaten egg. Mix the
ingredients together thoroughly. The
bread should be "a hours old and
taken from the center of the LOAF.
The seasoning is a matter of lndl-
vidual taste, so you can use the above
quantities or suit your taste. The
egg may be omitted If the flank is to
be eaten hot, but will slice better
when cold if egg is used. Cracker
crumbs give drier stuftlng.
Spread your flank steak with above
and roll tightly. Fry out some suet
and then brown the flank so as to
hold the juices. Put in casserole, add
little water and when half done sea-
son with salt and pepper, chopped
onions and plenty of fine minced vege'
tables or rice, whichever you may
prefer. The flank is quite juicy, SO
you will need but little water. 1t
lacks flavor, so the high spices and
vegetables make up what the flank
lacks. It is much better this way
than broiled as regular steak.

Potato and Onion Salad,

Pare and cut potatoes into thin
slices, parboil until done but not
washed. Drain and pour on shallow
dish. Now take centers of boiled
onion rings, mash with a fork, add a
sitting of salt and pepper, then mix
with enough boiled dressing to make
smooth, rather thick emulsion. Sift
salt and pepper over the potatoes,
then cover with the dressing and let
1t stand for an hour to ripen. This is
a nice luncheon dish and can be
served with rings of hard boiled eggs,
cured bacon or boiled ham.

Bakino Cookies.

If you have difficulty with your
cookies, either because they cook too
fast on the bottom or are hard to get
out of the pan, try using large drip
ping pan and placing the cookies on
the bottom of the pan rather than in
1t. Turn the pan upside down, lay a
piece of buttered paper or paraffin
paper on 1t and then lay on the
cookies. They will cook evenly and
there will be no danger Of breaking
them when taking them off.

When Steak Is Touqh.

To make tough steak tender, put
three tablespoonful of salad oil and
one tablespoonful vinegar on a large
fiat dish.
Lay the steak on the mixture and
let it rest in this way for half an
hour, then turn it over, and let it rest
another half hour in the same guam
tity of vinegar and oil.
The toughest steak will yield to this
treatment and be nice and tender
