if she will heat the milk to scalding-not boiling-point. and churn or stir the cream every day, I think she will have no trou- be After the milk Is heated the cream will nearly all rise in twelve hours if the place where 1t is kept is quite cool, and the butter will come in a few minutes of churning. MRS. C. Il.
 Upon the value of this suggestion l would like to have the counsel of those experienced in dairy matters. l have been told that heating the cream beyond blood warmth interfered with the manu- featuring of butter from such cream. On the other hand, the Devonshire cream or clotted crean, or Cornish cream, as 1t is variously called. is prepared by setting large pans of milk on the stove and let ting it become just warm enough to en- courage the cream to rise in such quanti- ties that 1t can be skinned off and put aside for use al a dainty adjunct for the table. see no reason why the same rule should not hold good in butter making and I shall look eagerly for the opinion of experts in such lines.

Next, as to the rubbers: I consider the red better than the black, and they should always be soft and flexible. Stiff, hard rubbers are likely to crack and admit air.
 he reason the covers loosen after they have been screwed on tightly while hot is that the heat has expanded them; they shrink in cooling, and should always be screwed again when the jars and contents are perfectly cold. You will find if you examine them then. that you can give tho covers further turn. no matter how wig orous an effort you had bestowed upon them when the jars were first filled. If you will try this, I do not believe you will have any further trouble with adequately cooked fruits or vegetables put into air tight jars.
 I certainly do not consider the jars fit to use when the white lining of the tops is loose. This Is almost sure to afford an opportunity for the air to enter.
 You cannot make topless preserve jars and bottles to which you refer really air tight, but you can use them for jellies or jams. which will keep after the top of the contents has been covered with paraffln. have no hesitation in recommending the paraffin. and 1t is easily applied. All you
 
 the surface of the jelly, or jam. or mar malade. after this is perfectly cold. If you put 1t on while the contents of the jars are warm the paraffln is likely to mlngle with the fruit and will not form n ade- quate coating. I have never known the paraffin to shrink away from the sides of the jars when 1t was put on cold articles and poured on thickly enough to make complete covering.
 In my early housekeeping days I used to cover the tops of my jelly glasses and jam jars with rounds of tissue paper and pour little alcohol on these. This pre- vented the growth of mold on the con tents, but was more troublesome and less satisfactory than the paraffin. This, by the way. should be saved. and the hard cakes of 1t lifted of of the jars when / these are opened The parafiln can be used repeatedly. I may say, by the way. that stiff paper may be pasted over the tops of the jars or glasses which lack covers, And jelly or jams put up in this fashion will keep admirably, even though the vessels will not answer for preserves or canned fruits or vegetables.
 I have answered these queries at some length because, as said before. con- sider it probable that many other house. keepers are seeking advice on this topic at this season of the year. and know how trying it Is to be in doubt as to the best methods to insure the keeping of articles on which you have expended time and money. shall hope to hear later from L. l.. of her success with this years products.

say that some of the problems which puzzle her vex other housekeepers as well. To begin with, mold is not sign that the fruit has spoiled It is minute fungus growth which indicates incipient decay. but often when 1t forms on the surface of preserves of any sort which are in jars that are not air tight it makes a coating which prevents the air getting to the portions beneath it and saves them from spelling Fermentation is quite an- other thing. This, too, is a process of decay but 1t is something which usually goes through the entire contents of the jar or bottle and spells them thoroughly Neither mold nor fermentation will come in properly cooked preserves which have been put while boiling hot into air tight jars. Sometimes fermentation Is the re- suit of insufficient cookery of the fruit or vegetables; sometimes it comes because the outer air finds its way Into the jar or bottle.

to play with country boys and girls you are introducing them to quite as fierce perils as ever monaco them in the city streets. Keep close to your children dur Ing the summer and make point of know ing their playmates. Keep yourself and the children up to the mark so far as mutual confidence is concerned and have a knowledge of and sympathy with their pursuits.
 Do not lower your standard with regard to their ordinary manners, either. How often do we hear 1t said that now that tho children are back from the country they must be disciplined again into proper be- havlor at table and elsewhere? But what Is the sense of letting them slip into bad habits for the purpose of lacking them up" when you get them back at home once more7 Would 1t not be easier for the children and for you If a little super vision, an occasional correction were eN- ercised even while they are on the farm or in the country boarding placer Chil- dren must be watched necessarily if they arc to have even parliamentary good man ners. but that is part of the mothers busi- ness. Try to keep them up to the mark during the vacation and you will have less trouble when you go back home.
 One of the most marked differences be- tween the rules followed at home and on the vacation consists In the attitude of tho summer vacationist towards church and religious observances. When the members of tho average family leave town for the summer they turn their back upon all church obligations and apparently feel no responsibility either towards their own souls or the welfare of the religious bodies In the localities they have chosen for the holiday abiding places. Constant ly l am reminded of the passage in the Bible where the Syrians declared that the God of the Israelites was God of the hills, but not God of the valleys. Appar- ently the religion of many persons Is that Of the town. but not of the country or the seaside.
 grant that 1t Is not always easy to keep up church habits off on a vacation. You are away from your regular sur roundirgs and among strangers. It may be there Is no church of your own denom- ination within reach. You have been attending service regularly all winter. and 1t is good to you perhaps 10 feel a freedom from the need of doing anything on Sum day morning. None the less, this also is place where one should keep up to tho mark. Whether you are at home or not you have an example to set to your family and to those about you, to say nothing of the benefit you yourself will derive from the worship in Gods house. Moreover. you may be unimaglned help to those with. whom your lot Is cast. Your pres ence may encourage struggling clergy man. may prove an incentive to the nlem- bers of the church, may do good, of which you have never dreamed.
 Keep up to the mark because 1t is right and be sure that good to yourself and to others Is bound to come of it.

tight at the time when the hot fruit was put into the jars? 1 have the man of the house screw the covers on well. but nave found upon opening the jars several months later that the covers have loos- ened and the fruit is all spoiled. Will you kindly tell me how you account for this and if 1t can be helped? Do you consider the covers of the jars fit to use when the white part on the inside of the tops is loose? A friend gave me several empty preserve and pickle bottles without any covers. I would like to know how they can be made air tight. Do you think melt ed paraff1n is good, and how should 1t be put into the bottles? Some say that the paraffin shrinks away from the sides of the bottle, and is then not air tight.

Ants in the House.

Will some one be kind enough to sug- gest a remedy for ants? My refrigerator and table are In cups of kerosene. But the pests run over every corner ip my house. l have a clean house, too. and have tried everything any one has told me to do. I feel so distressed, yet I am hopeful that some one may know of a rem- edy for an ant tortured housekeeper. I shall be so thankful for any help.
 MRS. F. R. s.
 My sympathies go out to you and l will give you the best counsel at my command with the hope at the same time that some one may arise who has an unfailing and immediate remedy. Here are two or three treatments which are we'll recommended: Find out the runways of the ants and paste strips of fly paper across them. Put these also under the edge of your table and across the outer sflls of your windows if the ants come In from the outside. Strew cucumber peeling about the corners of the kitchen or other rooms where the ants gather They will eat of this and die. Another poison Is made by putting in saucers a mixture of two or three tablespoons of molasses with . heaping teaspoon of powdered tartar emetic. The ants eat greedily of this and 1t kills them. but be careful if children are about to see that they have no chance at the saucers. Another means of figta- ing the ants Is by smearing the unue~ side of the table and the refrigerator with soap into which cayenne pepper has been worked. Cloths soaked in kerosene should be laid in the corners of the kitchen and the pantry and anywhere else that the ants are likely to gather. Scatter whole cloves about the pantry shelves. With out doubting in the least your statement that you have 8 clean house. let me ad- wise you to keep all food closely covered. to see that your bread and cake boxes and sugar canisters are tightly closed and that there is a well fitting top on your garbage can. So long as they can get at food they will infest the house, Stayvo and poison them out.

I HERE is motto 1t Is we'll for us - all to take for our guidance dur
 ing the summer Not but that
 one shoald keep up to the mark
 at all seasons of the year. But ourlng the heated term so many bonds are relaxed, so many barriers lowered that most of us have to put perceptible re- straint upon ourselves to keep from fall Ing below the average. All along the line and all through the household we drift into careless habits which would seandalize us in ordinary circumstances. Here Is a trifling illustration. A few years ago I was a guest at the summer home of friend whom I have always known as strictly up to the mark in de- tails of dress. He met me at the train with a cordial welcome which was all most lost to me in my wonder at his appearance. The khaki trousers and the flannel shirt I could have condoned, but not the unbuttoned collar guiltless of cravat and thrown open far enough to show the hairy chest He made no apol- ogy for his appearance and l jumped to the conclusion that he had been playing tennis or golf or had been on a fishing expedition until the last moment before ho had to start for the train and had lacked the time to make a change into more conventional garb.
 soon found out my mistake and learped that this was his country costume. Dur ing the ten days that l stayed with him he appeared thus arrayed morning, noon, and night, at the table, on the veranda. whether alone with his family or en- tertaining guests. While away from the city in the summer he did not think it necessary to keep up to the mark he would have taken as matter of course In the winter.
 Another instance in the same line came my way that same year. I was stopping with another friend and one day while we sat on the veranda l saw a smal Il girl roaming about the lawn At first I thought she was a beggar who had strayed into the grounds. She was bare- foot. her short dress, which hardly reached her knees, was soiled and torn i; her hair was in two stringy braids and stray locks blew about her neck; her face and hands were dirty.
 Where did that poor little thing come lrOfu. aSkeu my hostess. She LOOKS as if she had escaped from a gang of gypsies."
 " That Is Mamie J." was the reply Her family live little distance from here."
 I knew the name at once. The father was distinguished scholar. the mother highly educated and accomplished woman. Yet here was their child in the semblance of tramp, III clad, ragged, and dirty wandering about the roads.
 My friend went on to explain: They believe in letting the children run wild
 ing the summer and feel that the
 plete freedom and outdoor life are gc for them.''

K EEP UP TO THE MARK.

hammered in closely fitting and stifiy starched clothing when the mercury is in the DOS. But there Is something between the two extremes. In this day pretty and cool negligees are made up in the most dlaphanous materials, and ingenuity has been exercised to reduce underclothing to a minimum of decency. woman who will give a little thought 10 her raiment can evolve comfortable garments. which will be also attractive, and in these she should clothe herself when the heat Is op- pressive, thus setting an example for her husband.
 For men, too. and for children. fashion has been kind. The thin negligee shirt which can be worn with flannel trousers and with a belt, the soft low cut collar. the string tic of wash goods, make up a different costume from the stiff bosomed shirts, high starched collar, and heavytie which used to be essential for man Small wonder if In those days he once in a while was tempted to relax into shirt sleeves and suspenders. Now he can combine comfort and decency as he never could then.
 For children, rompers, bloomers, short socks sandals, low necked frocks, and variety of other accommodations of attire have been devised. They can keep cool and yet look respectable, and cleanliness was never yet an obstacle to coolness Keep them and yourself up to the mark in your garb and appearance, even in hot weather.
 Other ways there are, too, of observing this precept Have you ever noticed how ordinary rules of good behavior are dis carded during the summer? In the winter you who are mothers keep a certain su- pervision over your children's playmates and occupations, busy though you may be with all the cold weather activities. How much of this doyou continue when you go to the countryf Are you not prone to think that the children can get no harm when they are out of doors away from the dangers which infest city streets? Be- lleve me, the risks may not be so appar- ent, but they are there, and just as great as when you are in region of automo- piles and motor trucks.
 Those or us who know the rural dis tricts are aware that long ago the fic- ton that purity and innocence were sym onyns for rusticity was exploded. The low moral standing of the majority of country regions has become a proverb and when you turn your children loose

Wants an Old I ent.

u WRITE to ask if any Of the Cor kk nertes owns an old tent for which
 he or she has no further use.
 woman (who really isn't much
 more than child), whose husband is guard for the county, with salary which is not nearly sufficient to buy all they need, wishes tent. She and her husband have had a good many adversi- ties and they are trying hard to get on their feet again. The camp in which she has lived is to be moved again and she will have no place to stay. To board at another place is not to be thought of. She says she could pay for tent after they get back to little prosperity again, but at present she Is unable to buy one. The couple have a little crippled baby, and as the husbands work keeps him at the camp, she wishes a tent in order to enable her to stay with him and avoid separation. Here Is good way to clean dirty or smoked pots and pans: Fill a lard can with the utensils to be cleansed; cover with water; put in lye or washing powder and let the water boil until the articles are clean. You will be surprised at the ease with which you can cleanse pots and pans by this method. Washing soda applied with brisk rubbing will clean burned dishes or pans and also re- move tea and coffee stains from cups and saucers. The soda must be damp. MayI add that if any of the readers have any short lengths of any kind of goods which would serve to make two piece suits for q boy years old would be glad to have them? Even if the pieces are small they would answer for collars and cuffs or for facing. The signature of the woman who wishes the tent is Mrs. J. M. T.
 MRS. B. M"
 I wish this letter had come into my hands sooner, but as it is the best car do is to plead for an early response to the request for the tent. The case of this young couple seems hard to me. It is severe enough for wife who loves her husband to be separated from him at any time, but when she has crippled baby and needs all the comfort her husband's companionship can give the circum- stances are heavy to bear. hope with ell my heart that some one of our con- stituency will have tent to give or even to lend to this young couple. When writ ing please bear in mind that the name to axk for it not that signed to the above letter, but the initials given by the writer aa -pfrs. J. M. T. We are grateful for the .u Sestions of Mrs. B. M. Anything which rt lessen the unpleasant work of cleans iR dirty pots and pans is extremely an1come I hope the pieces of goods which would help make the two piece quits for the boy of may be forthcom- ing. Most of us have remnants which would be of service for such a purpose and we would far rather have them in use than lying idle.
