The Cook Saws.

II your market basket or clothes
basket of willow shows a few loose
ends, put it to soak for twenty min
utes or half an hour in lukewarm wa
ter
A good way to do is to put the
basket into the bathtub, resting it on
the part that is to be repaired, then
turn in enough water to soak this
part, The important thing is to get
the willow ends soft and pliable.
When this is accomplished the
strips can be readily bent back into
place, and il you push them in firmly,
they will stay in place when dry. New
er try 10 bend the willow strips while
they are dry, as they will be sure to
snap of.
A putty knife, with its short handle
and broad blade, is an indispensable
tool in the kitchen. 1t can be used for
turning hash. fritters and fish. Its
broad end is also most useful in scrap

SOME KITCHEN KINKS
Methods THAT MAY BE NEW TO
MANY HOUSEWIVES.

cloth Fresh-Linoleum for the
Floor Covering.

TILES are so clean and nice If one is
able to afford them. The young wife
,fbo has them will never regret the
outlav. although they are rather ex-
pansive al the start. Round the kitch-
on walls they are splendid and most
hygienic in every way.
The back of the sink is bound to get
smashed with the washing up after
each meal. Therefore here it is es-
sential to have either tiles or zinc or
something of the kind through which
the water cannot penetrate. Zinc an
swers the purpose quite well if secure
" nailed fiat against the wall. This is
easily cleaned daily with little dry
brickdust.
The tiles. of course, are ideal, as
all they need is a washdown with
warm water daily

in the sink for tea leaves and such
things which are more than likely

stop it up 1t is shaped so that it fits
into the corner of the sink, perforated
with holes so that all liquid passes

Nothing is more unpleasant than a
greasy dishclOth. To keep this i'm
portant article fresh and sweet, it
should be scalded each time after use,
or else washed out thoroughly in hot
water and rinsed we'll in several wa
tiers.
A plate rack fixed above the sink is
a great saving of labor. Plates put in
the rack must be rinsed in cold water
after being washed in hot, if you do
not want them to be smudgy.
When roasting meat, use a double
meat tin. Put cold water in the under
one. This prevents the dripping burn
ing and also keeps it from boiling
away.
Plenty of hot water is essential for
dish washing. Collect all the silver.
Place the knives blade downward in a
jug of hot water Pile up the plates
neatly A little arrangement saves
the muddle one so often sees in con-
nection with washing up. Wash all
the cleanest things first to save the
water. Rinse glass in cold water after
washing in hot and polish well with a
dry, clean cloth.
The most useful and healthy floor
covering for the kitchen is linoleum.
Inlaid linoleum is the best to pur-
chase. Here the pattern goes right
through and therefore will be perfect

DEVICE TO START GOLF PLAY
instrument in Use by Various Clubs

tent by an instrument now employed
by virtually every golf club in this
part of the country This device is

angle on wooden or steel legs, the
opening being large enough to accom-
modate a golf ball The higher end
is open, while the lower end Is
plugged, and an opening made near
the end. from which one ball may be
removed at a time. BY being covered
all the way down, not one ball can be
displaced from the order in which it
was inserted into the tube
AS players reach the first tee, If
they cannot leave at once, they drop
an initiated sphere into the tube. and
when 1t comes to the end the owners
name is called and he. his pair or
foursome. tees off. If the owner Of a
ball is not present when his initials
are called, his ball is placed last in
line and he must await its next ap-
pearance before he may start.
The old system of barber shop pre-
cedence is eliminated entirely. for
there can be no question as to the
ownership OF balls now, with every
player having his initials sunken into
the gutta percha, and one inclined to
slip one over" by substituting his
