HOUSEHOLD HELPS.

Dear Sisters of the Corner:-I am
sending in a few items that may be of
interest.
In baking bread or rolls put sauce
pan of boiling water in the oven with
them. The steam will keep the crust
smooth and tender.
When boiling green vegetables put
a small particle of soda or a lump of
sugar in the water to keep the color
fresh.
To have custard pie of an even.
nice brown when baked, sprinkle a
little sugar over the top just before
putting it in the oven.
Doughnuts or biscuits may be made
almost as good as new by putting
them in a whole bag made of paper,
sprinkling in a few drops of water,
then twisting the end tightly, putting
in a very hot oven for a short time,
but raised from the bottom of the
oven a little by a crate.
When milk boiIs over in the oven,
or on the stove. sprinkle with a thick
layer of salt, let it remain a few min
utes, then brush everything off.
Tough meat may be made tender by
laying it for a few minutes in vinegar
and water. If it is a boiling piece. or
a tough chicken, simply add a table
spoon of vinegar to the boiling water.
Boiled cabbage is much better and
SWeet6r naVOreQ II the water Is ire
quently changed once or twice.
A little flour sprinkled over the top
of a cake will aid in preventing the
icing from running off.
Dissolve copper and lye often in
your drain pipes to cleanse and disin-
feet them.
To clean ink stains from the fingers,
rub with a match, the spots and then
wash with soap and water.
Do not plunge the glasses that have
had milk in them into hot water be-
fore they have been well rinsed with
cold, or they will remain cloudy a
long time.
When you suspect your cooking has
scorched a little because you have
neglected it just a moment too long,
lift the vessel of food quickly fro@h
the fire and stand it in a pan of water
for a few minutes. In almost every
case the scorched taste will entirely
disappear.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner
1 must write and ask some questions

Eliza Jane: Was told you knew
about picnic for the Sisters. Where
and when for pity sakes? They say
they are to wear ribbons. Where are
they to wear them and what ribbons
and what for? Seeing you are pretty
good at answering questions do write
and answer mine. 1 may be green,
but I don't look it.
Scottie: 1 hope you will practice
getting out of a wagon so you can
do it right next time.
Pontiac: You say you have tried
using salt on carpets, but 1 like to
squeeze out the wet tea leaves and
use them best. I hear you are some
runner. How is that?

PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE TO
 LOG CABIN DEM 0CRAT
CALIFORNIA EDUCATOR HOPES TO SEE ARKANSAS AT PAN
 AMA FAIR.

In sending renewal to the Log Cabin Democrat, Prof. L. P. Farris of the department of physics in the University of California, Berkeley, Cal. who graduated from Hendrix College in 1908, writes the following interesting and much appreciated let ter:
 Permit me to be square with you, and tell you what 1 honestly believe, namely, that the Log Cabin Demo- crat is the best news-y weekly county paper, published in a town no larger than Conway, anywhere in the Unit ed States There is no charge for this statement and it is sent without request. If proof of this is demanded, can send you a few sample copies of newspapers from anywhere l have been during my sojourn throughou New Mexico and California since came west nearly seven years ago. Of course, the big cities of California, backed by their enthusiastic real es- tate merchants, can beat you little. All 1 ask of you for this expression is to not tell any of these coast editors.
 By the way, if you come out to the fair, you must look me up. l am here within 40 minutes ride of the eXposi- ton grounds, and although my teach
 ing duties here in the University will extend through the coming summer school, still I hope to see quite lot of the show. We Arkansas men who are here are hoping that your pres ent legislature sees fit to equip Ar kansas financially so she can make a good showing here and show some of these conceited native sons that states of equal magnitude exist east of the Rockies. There is no doubt that if Arkansas would spend more in such legitimate advertising, more capital would hasten to develop her and that soon Arkansas could be the best of all.

10 RESUME WORK
 ON NEW CHURCH START ABOUT MARCH 1
METHODISTS HOPE TO WOR. SHIP IN NEW EDIFICE BY
 JULY 1.

Work on the new edifce being erected here by the Methodist church, which on account of the financial con ditions and winter weather has been discontinued for several months, will be resumed about March 1, it was stated today, and the building com mlttee expects to be able to continue the construction without further in- terruption.
 It is now planned to complete the exterior and roof of the entire build ing and to finish and furnish the in- terior of the Sunday school rooms and Sunday school auditorium first. The committee believes the latter can be ready for occupancy by July of this year, at which time the congregation will once more begin to worship in their own church home It is hoped to continue work also on the main church, so that the entire plant will be completed and in readiness for the session of the North Arkansas con ference, which will be held here in November.
 Nearly $20,000 has already been expended in the construction of the foundations, basement and first floor walls of the building, and something over $40,000 additional will be re- quired to complete it. The furnish ings, pipe organ, etc, will bring the total cost to about $65, ,000, making the Conway church one of the finest in the entire state.
 It is probable that no contract will be let for the completion of the build ing, the committee having made ten tative arrangement with E. w. Jen- kins of Little Rock to superintend the construction.

OLD BOARD IS
 IGNORED BY NEW

Little Rock, Feb. 13.-The new charity board has authorized it's sec retary, Joe Ferguson, to proceed to make contracts for the purchase of supplies for the various institutions for the ensuing month, February 15 to March 15, ignoring the old board and it's secretary, R. w. Hart. A plan that had been under way for com promise of the controversy without the necessity of carrying on the in vestigation by the joint legislative committee has come to naught, and Attorney General w. l.. Moose, who had tried to act as arbitrator, has withdrawn from any connection whatever with it. He announces that he will not appear before the commit tee to represent the board, and that he has no charges to make against any one, or any one whom it is his duty to defend. It is purely an eX- parte inquiry to be made by the com mittee, whose findings must be refer red to the legislature for action.

BILL IS INTRODUCED
 FOR STATE HOSPITAL
PROPOSED TO SELL REAL ES- TATE BELONGING TO STATE
 TO RAISE FUNDS.

Little Rock, Feb. 13.-A bill is pending in the house of represnta- tives for the establishment in Little Rock of a state general hospital for the medical and surgical treatment of the dependent poor, sick, injured and crippled of the state, and the rection of new college and clinic building for the medical department of the University of Arkansas. The bill was introduced in the house by Represent tative Rigler of Pulaski.
 It provides for the sale of certain properties in the city, including the ground upon which the present med ical college is situated, and the west half of the site of the deaf mute insti- ute, now used for pasture, the funds to be used for the purpose set forth in the bill. There is also a fund of $20,000, left a number of years ago by Dr. Isaac Folsom, a philanthropic citizen of the state, to to be used in the erection of a clinic building, but the terms are complied with soon, the state must forfeit the money to the Folsom heirs. The bill provides for the appointment of a board of commissioners to consist of three members, to be appointed by the governor, who shall have full control of the affairs of the hospital.

UNION WILL PROBE
 ATTACK ON MORLEY SESSION AT LITTLE ROCK
NATIONAL FARMERS ORGAN IZATION CALLS MEETING
 FEBRUARY 26.

From the Gazette's Correspondent
 Washington, Feb. 12.-An extra session of the Arkansas Farmers Union today was called by National President Barrett and members of the executive council, now in Washing ton, to meet at Little Rock February 26 to investigate the official acts of H. S. Mobley, growing out of recent charges in connection with his en- ployment by the Russellville Agricul- tural School as farm extension lee turer.
 The following signed statement was issued here today by the officials of the National Farmers Union:
 It is the custom in the Farmers Union, in matters of general interest to the organization, to hold stated or regular conventions where such mat ters may be proposed by and secure the official endorsement of the organ ization. On extraordinary occasions and concerning extraordinary matters 1t is our custom to assemble these conventions in extra session. The re- cent attack upon H. s. Mobley, the state president of the Arkansas divis- ion of the Union, involving, as it does, his official acts as such state head of the organization, has been officially and regularly presented to the nation- al executive committee of the union, and by them found worthy of de handing the investigation of this committee to ascertain the facts con- coming this matter.
 "To this end We are calling upon the executive board of the Arkansas union to cooperate with us in calling an extra session of the state union at Little Rock on February 2G to go thoroughly into this matter, to the end that justice may be done on be- half of this organization and Mr. Mobley.
 "All local, county and state officers of the Arkansas division are earnest ly reuested to cooperate with the na- tional committee in this matter.
