that they are not washed thoroughly
or not rinsed well. Plenty of hot suds
is the secret.
Salsoda is cheap and should be used
in hot water to flush all pipes at
least once week. 1t removes the
grease from the kitchen sink drain,
and keeps it clean.
Carrot. that wholesome vegetable
which is SO little appreciated, will
have one more good way to serve if
the following is tried: Fut carrots
through meat chopper, then cook in
boiling water until tender, sailing to-
ward the end of the cooking. Drain
and add butter, dash of cayenne and
a little lemon juice. Serve with a
roast of any kind and see how your
family will enjoy the dish.
Put candles to be used on the din
ner table into the ice chest or out of
doors in winter to freeze; they will
then burn without dripping.
In roasting spare ribs if cider is
used to haste the meat instead of wa
ter, the flavor will be more delicious.
Many up-to-date laundresses, espe-
cially in the winter, iron their table
linen right from the wringer, using
warm water for rinsing. This saves
the wear of linen and the dampness
gives it Just the right stiffness.
When it is necessary to use or
anges for slicing, peel off the thin
yellow peeling and put the oranges
away to dry for an hour or two, hen
the white part will come off easily,
leaving the orange clean and ready for
slicing.
Thin slices of banana placed be-
tween slices of buttered brown bread
and placed in the oven until the bread
is toasted will make delicious hot
sandwiches for an invalid, especially,
although well people will make them

AS an ally to the diaphanous blouse
which continues to triumph in the
face of winter-the underbodice of
wash silk and lace is evidently des-
tined to diviG honors with it. 1t is
equally soft and attractive, and has
only made it's entry Oh . career of use
fulness that is to grow in importance.
Washable silks and satins, crepe de
chine and some new silk weaves are
used, with lingerie laces, to make
these underbodices. They launder as
easily as cotton or linen fabrics and
are just as durable. With these prac-
teal attributes in their favor, and the
elegance and beauty lent by the
silk. to recommend them, it is safe
to anticipate their appeal to women.
Two IF the most popular underbod-
ices ara shown in the picture above,
both very simple in construction, Val
insertion and edging is used in com
bination with silk and with ribbon for
making them. In one Of them the
/ bodice is formed by sewing alternating
rows of lace and wash ribbon together
with machine stitching. In the others
yoke is made OF rows of the inser-
ton, machine stitched together and
| edged with narrow lace. and having a
/ wide band of thin silk set on to it
When bodices of this kind are made
! at home the edges of the lace inser
! ton may be whipped together by hand
with little better effect than is Doe
sibie in machine stitching.
White and light pink silks are used
with cream-colored lace for making
the majority of silk and lace bodices
but they are sometimes made in light
| shade of the color in the blouse with
! which they are worn, or exactly tt
match it. Some Of the prettiest mod
els have narrow insertions Of val OF

narrow capes or collarettes, and there
are wide cravats of fur which entwine
the neck with one end slipped under a
slide made of the fur and extending
over the shoulder to the back. 1t is
the fad to fasten these neckpieces and
others, at the back. Even the scarf
with long ends is worn muller fash
ion, with a knot at the left back and
ends hanging over the shoulder and
floating behind. To be muffied up in
the furpiece, be it ever so small, is
the effect to strive for.
AS neckpieces and muffs are small
and only a touch of fur is needed on
the hat to match, these sets are beau
tifully adapted to the tailored suit.
Seal, squirrel, chinchilla, kolinsky,
cony and beaver are liked for them,
and very attractive sets are made of
several fur-fabrics. The latter are
not at all difficult to make at home
and so inexpense that one may indulge
in an extra set for the sake of change
or to spare the set made of real fur.

ButtermiIk Cheese.-This is the
method used in Wisconsin experiment
station for making the cheese: Heat
the buttermilk slowly to 1870 or 140 de-
grees F., stirring all the time This
may be done in double boiler. After
heating, the curd settles to the bot
tom of the boiler and most of the,
whey may be poured off, The remain
der of the whey is removed by drain
ing through a cheesecloth, doubled
in several layers Season with salt
and pepper or with salt and caraway
seed. When mixed with a little soft
and spread on sandwiches, it is called
sandwich cheese.
ButtermiIk Cream.-This is very
similar to the cheese, but is treated
to a lower temperature in heating. A
hundred degrees F. is the required
temperature, stirring constantly until
the curd separates. Drain through a.
cheese cloth until the curd is like
thick cream; season and serve as.
sandwich filling or as a dressing, with
vinegar for salads, used in the place
of the German cream dressing.
Pineapple Lacto.-Beat the yolksi

When partly frozen add the juice Of
two lemons. In place of the pineapple
a half cupful of cherry juice may be
used, or the juice of five oranges, or.
a cupful of strawberry juice, or half
a cupful of raspberry juice, thus max

INcENDIARY BOMBS.

Terrific Heat Of Thermite, the Stuff
With Which They Are Filled.
Incendiary bombs are N of the
most fearful engines Of modern war
fare. The reason they throw out such
Q terrific heat is because they are filled
with thermite.
Thermite is SO hot when it is fired
that it will melt iron and steel with
the greatest ease and even burn its
way through granite.
This marvellous substance was dis
covered in 1902. 1t is really a mixture
Of coarsely powdered aluminium and
oxide Of iron. 1t can't be fired by it.

mixture consisting Of finely powdered
aluminium and barium peroxide.
The wonderful heating power of this
terrible substance has been made use
Of all over the world in iron and steel
welding. Steel joints are welded solid
IL together in q few moments by plac-
ing q little thermite round the joint and
firing it.
The thermite mixture is as safe to
handle or store rs sawdust-safer, In
fact. Only the special mixture or a
very high temperature indeed will set
It on fire. II necessary the two sub
stances from which thermite is made
can be taken separately and mixed
when required, and there is no danger
whatever in aluminium powder or OK
ide of iron. which is, practically speak
ing, iron rust, yet the mixture makes
up one of the hottest substances
