preparation of meals. The sink and
table, stove and cupboards should be
within speaking distance of each 9th
er. The dining room should open di-
rectly into the kitchen or pantry be-
tween so that the shortest possible
routing would be accomplished in
serving a meal.
Windows should be plentiful and so
placed that plenty Of light and ven
tilation could be obtained. Artificial
light should be planned to fall where
Il is most needed, over sink and stove
and table.
II swing doors are placed between
the kitchen and dining room the kitch-
en- need never be in view when sitting
at the dining table.
The floor should be covered with
linoleum or finished in such a way
that scrubbing is unnecessary.
Tables and sink as we'll as stove and
ironing board should be of the height
to suit the person to use them.
Over the sink shelf with hooks be-
meath to hold all the much-used things
like a soap shaker, measuring cups,
dipper, dish mop, and potato masher,
may be easily placed. On top Of this
shelf have your scales, small clock,
pretty receptacles for pepper and salt
and the much used condiments.
The best arranged kitchens are
those with plenty Of cupboard space
to shut from the dust all utensils that
are not washed twice or three times
a day. II the cupboards are not so
close that the dishes may be wiped
and set at once to the shelves have a
small table with casters to move
about. This same table will be in
valuable to have near the stove when
cooking, and should be covered with
zinc. A wheeled tray or tea cart is
another most convenient utensil to
save steps as it can be loaded with
food for the table and remove it and
the soiled dishes after the meal, with
but one or two trips.

Peculiar "Fairy Stone"

Perhaps the most curious mineral
found in the United States is staurol-
lite, otherwise known as the fairy
stone" reports the United States geo.
logical survey. This is an iron alum
inum silicate found only in Virginia
and North Carolina, the reddish
brown and brownish black crystals
occurring in well defined single and
double crosses. There Is some COM
msrcial demand for the crosses as
curios which are worn as watch
charms or on chains in the manner Of
q locket or Iavalliere, demand per-
haps stimulated by the quaint legend
which is told of their origin; the
fairies living in the caves Of the
mountains, on hearing the sad tidings
OF the death of Christ, fashioned these
crosses as mementos Of him.

PUT FAITH IN STALE BEER
Old Soldier Had His Own Ideas About
Best Way to Keep In Good
Physical Condition.

Sir Robert Baden-Powell's book,
"Indian Memories" teens with good
stories of his early soldering days in
India. Some of the best stories he
tells, however, are those concerning
Sir Baker Russell, who was a major
in the Thirteenth Hussars soon after
the hero of Mafeking joined, and later
became colonel.
Sir Baker, who made a great name
for himself as soldier, was "the
beau ideal of a fighting leader He
was beloved of the men, who nick.
named him Bakers Dozen" mainly
on account of his unorthodox methods.
ION one OCCASION" says Sir Robert,
"the colonel had to lecture one Of his
men for some minor misbehavior. The
man was splendid type OF old sol
dier, q wonderful boxer. swordsman,
rider, and marksman, but he'wss very
fond Of his mug of ale. When he
was brought up for having had . drop

him: ~" ST."

Ben Hagan, for that was the fel-
lows name, explained his secret. It
was to fill q hand basin with beer
every night before turning in. and to
place 1t underneath his bed. Then
his first act on waking in the morn
ing was to pour 1t down his throat.
He believed that the only way to pre-
serve health and nerve was to take
big doses Of really stale beer the first

Testing Quality of Ale.

At one time Shakespeare's father Is
said to have served as an ale conner
or tester. In the olden days the ale
conner tested only for sugar, and a
musty land doubtless ale-soaked)
chronicler tells US that 1t was the
custom of these testers to enter a
tavern, call for pot by accident
(sic) spill puddle" on bench and
sit in the puddle for half an hour by
the clock" If the conner could rise
with due dignity from his seat, all
was we'll; but woe to the tapster whose
ale glued the leather breeches OF the
tester to the bench-there was sugar
In his ale; which brings us, by the
well-worn route of anecdote. nearer
home.
1t has been a long jaunt for the old
mag and far cry from the inventive
I-tye to the alembical methods of one
Harmon Gansevoort who, as a pioneer
brewer in Albany, N. Y, is said to
have loaned a particular zest to his
brew by washing his leather breeches

Washrau's Turn to Go.

Washrag! The washrag must go.
The United States public health serv-
ice agency has so decided. 1t must
follow the towel, the drinking cup, the
hairbrush and the habit of kissing.
We knew it was coming. Next we
expect that an embargo will be placed
on shaking hands and on the use of
straps for the stand-ups in street cars.
After they have once been handled,
they will have to be destroyed. There
might be a wandering germ that
would locate on somebody's palm, you
know. With all our fads, and fancies,
are we any healthier than our for
bears were? Do we live longer? Do
we bring up better children? Are we
better ourselves physically or NOR

Snooks was one of those conceited,

always spinning his yarns about his

ally wound up by saying he never yet

ne had finished EARNING, he was a little
taken aback by one of his audience,
who said:
