GOOD THINGS TO KNOW

When ironing table linen, iron with
the selvage and not across the grain.
To clean bamboo furniture use q
brush dipped in warm water and salt.
The salt prevents the bamboo from
turning color.
Salt rubbed on tea cups will remove
tea stains, and discOlOration on crock
cry or china will respond to the same
treatment.
To clean collars apply benzine and
after an hour or more, when the
grease has become sOftened, rub 1t or
remove with soapsuds.
A little clear coffee q be added to
starch for tan or cream materials:
and this is better than pure white
starch in many colOred things.
For black garments black starch is
sold that is quite satisfactory. White
starch is almost sure to give unsatis.
factory results on black material.

Hosiery Hints.

Frequently when the feet seem
cramped, the blame is placed on the
defective shoe size; but it will be
found that in many instances the tr0u-
BILE lies in the wearing of too small a
stocking.
The marking of sizes varies quite a
little on both stockings and shoes. A
safe rule to follow is to patronize one
shop when the latter, has been found
reliable and the size called for is neith-
er too large nor too SMALL but is COM
Portable in every particular.
It is a mistake to wear footwear
that is too large, although the criti-
cisn is usually against the adoption
Of small sizes. So much Of the good
appearance and the comfort and happi-
nes Of women depends on the nice care
of the feet, that too much attention
cannot be bestowed on the pedal ex-
tremities.

MEALS IN WARM WEATHER.
Geld Dishes May D Made Just as A.
petizins as Hot Ones, and Are
More Healthful.

II you arrange to have cold SLICED
meat three or four times d week, see
that the rest Of the meal Is light. But
on the days when you serve vegetable
dishes as the principal part Of the
menu make sure that the rest of the
meal provides sufficient nourishment
to even up the menu and make 1t as
a whole equal in value to a meat meal.
For instance, you might have on
Sunday. let us say, cold roast chicken
with mashed potatoes, sliced cucumber
salad and watermelon. Or berries. Mon
day night you might have q cold chick.
en- jelly soup, made from the chicken
carcass, a cold baked macaroni and
cheese, with hot peas and potato
chips, tomato with mayonnaise salad
and a good, nourishing pudding with
plenty Of eggs and butter. Thus, in
the chicken jelly, in the mayonnaise.
made of eggs. and plenty Of olive oil.
and in the pudding, you provide
enough nutrition to make up for the
difference in nutritive values of the
meat and the macaroni dish.
Other good substitutes for meat
dishes are rice soufle, spaghetti a
r%Italienne, cheese and rice baked, etc.
You will find that almost every kind
Of salad will be welcome in the warm
weather. When you make the salad
dressings do not be sparing with the
olive oil, for there is even more nou
ishment in real olive oil than there Is
in meat.
II you cry dainty cold meals and
keep your table looking attractive, the
hot weather will make very little diff.
ference in the appetite Of your family.

To whip Condensed Milk.

Place one can of condensed milk In
water and heat to boiling. Remove
promptly and thoroughly chill by plac-
ing the can on ice. When cool, open
the can and pour the milk, the entire
contents of q small can or half the con-
tents of a large one, into a chilled bowl,
placed in another bowl filed with
cracked ice. After the milk has be-
come thoroughly chilled whip in the
regular way with an ordinary egg beat
er for five minutes. Sweeten and fla
O if desired. Keep it on ice until
served. Condensed milk will whip
without heating, but there are better
results when following the above di
rectiOns.

self by means of spores.
Spores may be compared with the
seed of an ordinary plant. These
spores present the chief difficulty in
canning the products of the orchard
and garden.
All forms Of bacteria are killed by
complete sterilization. This Is moth

for a time long enough, to destroy
the bacteria that cause the raw ma
terial to spoil.
Sterilization is readily accom-
pllshed by the use of boiling water,
and there are three different ways in
which this can be done. While the
parent bacteria can be killed at the
temperature of boiling water, their
spores retain their vitality for a long
time v at that temperature.
Smaller factories, and the different
home canning outfits usually make
use of the 'open-kettle" process. Here
the cans are submerged in boiling Wa
ter and kept at that temperature for
a time sufficient to destroy bacteria
and spores.
The third process, known as frac-
ttonal sterilization, is that of keeping
Can or jars in boiling water for a spe-
Gifted time upon each of two or three
consecutive days.
The process Of boiling upon consecn,
tive days is the safest method, and IL
much to be preferred in home canning.
The first days boiling kills practically
all the bacteria, but does not kill all
all of the spores.
As 500 as the Jars or cans cool
these spores develop, and a new lot
OF bacteria begin their destructive
work on the contents.
The second days boiling kills this
new lot of bacteria before they have
had time to produce spores.
Boiling the third day is not always
necessary, but it is advisable in order
TO be sure that sterilization Is COM
plete.

POULTRY POINTERS

Sudden fright and excitement at

allow strange dogs about where the
hens are.
Don't relax the care Of the chicks.
They win become inactive and dis
eased.
Market the broilers and all the roost-
ers that you don't want to keep for
breeding purposes.
Uniform products command the best
prices. Purebred fowls produce uni
form products.
When selling the eggs to the coun-
try merchant Dr. cash buyer, insist that
the transaction be or a quality basis.
After one Tot Of chickens Is re-
moved from the brooder house, clean
thoroughly and spray with a disin-
fectant.
Clean up the incubator; use a good
d%isinfectant; empty the oil and throw
the wick away. Allow the machine to
dry thoroughly before closing the
door. up tight.
Regularity Of feeding means much.
Those who feed spasmodically are
likely either to injure the fowls by
~pverfeeding or not give enough, per-
baps both. The birds should have their
feed regularly.
Eggs are easily affected by bad
pdors. Do not keep in a musty grain
bin, or in the vegetable cellar, or
where they can absorb the od0rs Of
kerosene and gasoline.
Marketing must be done at the right
time and in the right manner This

There should be method in marketing.
Not only should feeding be regular,
but the quantity should be ample. It
would be waste of feed to give too
much, but enough should be given and

particularly to berries. :

draining the water from the vegetable,
are excellent to use, as they insure the
