Recipe for PickIing Olives.

l read some time ago in the Helping Hand Corner request fov a recipe for pickling olives and LOW again there is similar request l have a rule which I have used successfully and every one who has sampled my olives pronounces them good but l was waiting for the other fellow to send in a recipe. l use the olives just as they are picked. ripe and green together. but one can sort them if one desires; the process of pickling them is the same: Dissolve one pound of lye and four pounds of medium coarse salt in six gallons of boiling water. Let the solution get cold and pour 1t over six gallons of olives. either ripe or green. Place In stone jars or wooden casks for three or four days. Pour off the water at the end of the third day or on the morning of the fourth add fresh cold water, and change three or four times day for three days. Then leave the olives in a solution of six gallons of cold water and three pounds of salt. At the end of two weeks they are ready for use. I enjoy req ding the Corner and wish had more leisure to write to some of the lonely people, but seem to have every minute in the day taken snd so have to put off writing for some of the addresses of those with whom I would like to com municate.

 MRS. P. M. e. This Is an admirable suggestion with regard to the ma gazines. and l wish much that some of our energetic mem- bers who live in small towns would see if 1t is not practicable to put 1t into service there. It strikes me as eminently practicable as well as helpful. The ad- dress asked for was sent to Mrs. r. M G.. who is evidently one of those always on the alert to be of aid to others.

 which I am going to answer soon I'd like to suggest to the Corner ties that fruit stains on table linen can be easily removed by saturating the stained area with common coal o.l and letting the article lie rolled up for an hour or two or. better overnight. before washing it. I have also removed ink stains by applying lemon juice to the stained portions and laying the articles f, the sun before washing. In both cases wash out with tepid water before putting the pieces into hot water. I'd like to ask a favor of the Corner Can some one give me the words and music of th's iFl Part of one verse is
