Houston. Tex. March 23.-"BuIld.
ing home for every rural school
teacher In Texas" Is one OF the big
projects confronting the National Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association. OF
which John II. Kirby OF Houston Is a
director. and who win have charge OF
the Texas end OF this nationwide at.
tempt In social betterment.
The national association and the
state workers have the cooperation Of
the United States department OF edu-
cation and the Rockefeller foundation.
which has already given $4,000 in ap-
proval OF the plan.
The proposal OF building cottages for
rural school teachers has already been
carried into extensive success in the
state OF Washington. and that the idea
can be as successfully developed In
Texas Is Mr.. Kirby's belief.
In advancing the plan to build such
homes the theory has been offered that
II teachers are provided with bettel
homes. the country districts will b
able to secure better teachers. ant
avoid tn constant changes by which
rural schools are often in an unsettled
condition.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

Boiled or roasted meat that is TO be
cut cold should be wrapped in clean.
moist cloth. II will then slice thin
without breaking.
Baking-When preparing the stove
for baking. be sure that the fire is
clean all the way to the bottom. A
high fire will not heat the oven.
The daily meals should be set with
as much care for one member OF the
household as for the entire family,
else the servants will grow careless.
II the flatirons are to be put away
for some time they should be rubbed
on the bottom. when slightly warm,
with a mixture OF yaseline and sweet
oil.
Children love to be in the kitchen
and they should be allowed to come
in. for in this way they unconsciously
learn much about foods and their
preparation.
