MORE INFORMATION wANTEp.

Dear Editor Social Corner:-Win Nancy Gray'' please tell us more about how she used the sulphur in preserving fruit?
 suppose she burned the sulphur though she does not say so; and I did not know that sulphur would burn without something with it.
 How large tub does she use and how many gallons to a tub; that is, how deep does she pack them? Does she peel the fruit? It does not seem as if one teaspoonful of sulphur could preserve one gallon of fruit.
 Here all dried fruit is sulphured to bleach it, but more sulphur is used, and it is smoked much longer. I have seen no one who ever heard of preserving fresh fruit that way, and so wish Nancy Gray" would tell us all the details of the work?
 I am an exiled Norwichite, but not a Cornerite, though I take The Courier and always read the letters.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND STRAW
 HATS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: How many times have you heard a mother say that she wished she could get her child to eat eggs, or drink milk? Often it is the doctors order, but the child positively refuses to eat them.
 Did you ever hear of a child refus- ing a chocolate soda? Eggs and milk maybe disguised that way. Beat the yolk of the egg and add a little sugar and cocoa Fill the glass with milk and put the stiffly beaten white on top. Get a few straws from the drug store and let the child sip #

MT. Editor and Social Corner Sis ters:I thought perhaps you would like to know why Si wasn't to the picnic, (now don't tell hinn), but I would not let him come, for thought 1t wasn't no place for him up there among so many of the Sisters; but I did not tell him so, you just bet!
 When the word was in The Bulletin that they decided to go on that air day, rain or shine, Si he said:

THE DOCTORS PARTY.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters:-Well, how are you all after the two picnic days. What a jolly time we are having at the annual picnic and at Club No. 2 gathering. I wonder if all enjoyed their visit with the New Sister as I did at Biddie's picnic. How pretty the water looked through the trees from the log cabin porch; then to look through the door and see how pretty the tables were decorated and such loads of food. I have thought of Riddle and her band of Sisters working to clean up the left-overs and litter of the picnic.
 Today we journeyed to the Doctors and a royal welcome we received. About 20 members and some friends. At 2 o'clock we were all seated at a dong table in the yard, under the trees and did ample justice to the we'll laden table. After dinner ice cream was served and a surprise package, in each of which was motto each won read in turn.

SOME SUGGESTIONS FROM J. E. T

Editor and Social Cornerites:- Just something I noticed lately: A button dropped from my new linen cloak and sewed it on as ever, all four sides. As looked over the oth- CTS saw they looked much nicer, so T cut mine off again and put it on the same as they were; the thread showing the letter x, when done. Did you ever notice the difference A good way to send hat pins scissors. or any sharp pointed thing: Stick sharp end into cork, and no one will get hurt.

Dear Editor and Cornerites:I was rather late last week in writing. Never the less I want to thank the Bulletin and all the Sisters who made such pleasant day for me. What a good time we had (the best ever). How the table groaned. What a buzzing there was in and out of the little Log Cabin. Byst way, was born in Log Cabin and wonder if it was like that? I doubt it.

What kinas Eat.

"A meal fit for a king" is a common expression, but the sad eyes of truth inform us that dngly fares are often very simple, and that the royal appe- tites may become jaded and cloyed by too much product of French chefs and may long for substantial plain dishes.
 Simple fare is quite the rule now both at Buckingham Palace and at Windsor Castle. and this will continue as long as the war is on. Meals in the royal household have never been

THE SPENDING OF AN INCOME.

Editor Social Corner:-I do not inn agine most families are guided in their expense account by any system atic division of the income; but a few do have desire to exercise careful Judgment in spending the weekly in- come, whether it is $1o, SIS, or $20 a week.
 Economists who have studied the question with great care have agreed upon a proportionate ideal division of income for annual expenses and for the benefit of your readers we will present three of their tables:

It is noticeable that the low-wage family spends nearly half it's income for food, while the better paid spends only one-ffth or one-sixth of the in come for sustenance. One reason for this is that food is dearer to the low waged man than to the better paid, because he buys in driblets and per- haps on credit. The allowance for amusements seems to be high and the clothing estimate low.
 I believe there are capable Social Corner Sisters who can make better plan than these ideals. To me they look more ideal than practical, espec- ially the first table.
 Some of the Sisters who need sub ject to write upon may find this within the scope of their ability.

CITIZENS DISCUSS
LAND VALUATIONS

With County Assessor Wickham pre-
siding, meeting was held last Thurs
day afternoon at the Commercial club,
where matters of taxation and the val
uation of real estate were discussed.
State Tax Commissioner Eaton was
present and addressed the citizens, ex-
planning methods used by the Commits
sion in arriving at their valuations,
their ratios of county taxation and the
sums assessed the different counties.
MIR. Eaton suggested that the meeting
nominate a number of men owning
property in different parts of the valley
to sit with him and cooperate in setting
proper valuation on Hood River real
estate.
The following men were named: G.
Dethman. J. c. Porter, J. j. Gibbons,
H. F. Davidson, J. o. Hannum, j. H.
Heilbronner, J. f. Robertson and G.
7. Early. A meeting was held immed-
lately after the conclusion of the dis
cussion. Assessor Wickham met with
the state commissioner and the advis-
ory committee selected.
1t is the hope of local citizens that
the valuations of local property may be
reduced. 1t is declared that the orch
ard places for the past several years
have not been producing an income in
excess of wheat land, the valuation of
which is much lower.

OUT OF STREAM
WITH SELF-STARTER

Henry Kennady, formerly a citizen
of Owensburg, KY, and later manager
of the Studebaker branch at Oklahoma
City, recently had a rabbit hunting ex-
perience in Australia, which, strange
as it may seem, tested the efficiency of
the Studebaker starter. Kennady, who
is now managing director of the Stude
baker distributing house at Sidney,
started out with four companions to
hunt rabbits, using a Studebaker Six.
In attempting to ford hollow dur
ing rain. carburetor became SUBJ
merged in water which was going
through so swiftly that none of the oc-
cupants dared get out Of the car. The
water kept rising inch by inch until
the party feared they would be washed
away. During a lull in the storm Ken.
nady put the car into low gear, threw
on the self starter and was able to pull
out of the deep hole. The carburetoi
was then drained and the engine imme.
diately fired evenly. taking the party
back to Sidney without further mishap.

TWO LITTLE GIRLS
BURNED TO DEATH

No happening in Hood River valley
has ever been more horrible than the
burning Of the home OF Robert Robert
son. of the Pine Grove district, last
Friday night, when his two little
daughters, Ruth, aged seven, and Vio-
let. aged Ia, lost their lives in the
flames. The little girls were general
favorites in the community, and news
of the fire and its attendant hor-
ror was a shock TO the neighborhood
and cast a spell of gloom over the en-
tire valley.
IL have never seen the telephone sys-
TEN busier." says d. II. brewery.
Lines penetrating all parts Of the
valley were busy, people asking news
of the fire."
Mr.. Robertson and his young son
were sleeping in the barn in order to
care for a newly born colt. An older
brother was away from home for the
night. The girls were sleeping alone
in a room of the second story of the
house. The flames were first noticed by
nearby neighbors who rushed to the
scene and aroused the father and young
son. However, the FIRE had gained such
headwsy that il was impossible to res
cue the bodies Of the children. much
less save their lives. Their forms we're
burned to unrecognizable masses.
The reflection of the flames, seen by
several other neighbors, caused no
alarm, il being thought they were from
burning brush heaps or piles of apple
tree prunngs. 1t is the custom of
many to burn their prunings on still
nights.
The cause of the fire has not been
determined. 1t is thought that perhaps
one of the girls arose after retiring
and struck . match. which may have
been tossed into pile of papers on the
floor. All of the kerosene in the house
had been put into the lantern.for use at
the barn.
The pupils of the Pine Grove school
attended the funeral, held Sunday
morning at the Pine Grove church, in a
body. The little girls all carried floral
offerings, which were laid on the bier.
On the way to the cemetery both the
little boys and girls marched in the
funeral procession. Rev. G. E. Helm
eek preached the funeral sermon.
The following six little girls were
pail berers: Misses Jessie Lewis, May
BUles, Ray Boles. Helen Brosi, Esther
Krussow and Beatrice Bratz.

Over $50 people suceumb to con-

Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, confning
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point ont that
during changing seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by tax
ing Scott's Emulsion after meals. The cod
liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warns the
body by enrichiug the blood; it peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while it
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.
II YOU work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or nervous, Scott's Emulsion is the
most strengthening gfood-medicine known.

Praise for the big red apple now on
