WOMAN AND HOME


Pretty cheesecloth curtains may be
made for any room, in either cream or
white, and finished with a decorative
band of cretonne or silkolene. The
bands of color may be made over
crinoline to give them body, and mere
ly basted to the curtains, and remov-
ed when they are washed. These
bands make the curtains hang more
gracefully besides giving the needed
touch of color.

Abolition of Grog

1t was General Mcclellan who
said that the abolition of grog would
be equal to the addition of $4,000

1t was Surgeon-General Sternberg

To Brighten Carpets

Your carpet will look almost as
bright as new if you wet a newspaper
wiring it as dry as possible and tear it
in bits. Scatter these over the carpet
and sweep. Damp tea leaves will al
so brighten a carpet. If the stove
pipe takes tumble and the SCOT falls
on the carpet, put plenty of salt on
the spot before sweeping up. Salt
will also freshen the carpet on sweep
ing day. Perhaps the best thing of
all is to dip the broom in a pail Of
water in which one or two tablespoon
fuls of household ammonia have been
poured. Shake broom well and sweep.
This settles the dust and brightens
the colors.

High and Low CeiIed Rooms

Ii a room is we'll proportional,
with walls and ceiling we'll balanced
In dimensions, and doors, windows or
fireplace regularly and symmetrical
ly placed its treatment is simple,
and almost any form of decorations
may be used, provided harmony is
preserved. But if the ceiling is
high, stripes and vertical lines must
be avoided. Curtains at the windows
should not be carried to the floor, but
the portieres may be made noticeable
as they break the wall spaces. In
stead of up and down lines there
may be a frieze, either decorated or
gained by continuing the color of the
ceiling down on the walls to a dis
lance in proportion to their height.
There may also be a wainscoting if
the walls are very high from floor
to ceiling, or a similar effect gained
by using a plain and darker covering
on the lower part of the walls than
above. But, on the contrary, if
room has a low ceiling, stripes may
be used to advantage on the walls,
and the wall covering should be. car
ried straight to the ceiling and fin
ished there inconspiciously. These
rules apply to either square or long
rooms.-Dorothy Verrill Yates, in

For the Cook
When using common bread flour for
making cakes, they are apt to fall in
the middle, unless a good big measure
of flour is used. This makes the
cakes seem dry after a day or two.
When measuring the flour measure it
rather scant, and put with it one Ia
blespoonful of cornstarch. 1t will then
work very much like cake or pastry
flour. The cornstarch swells in the
batter and keeps it up until the heat
has time to set it.

Is A National Problem

If the liquor question were merely
a local one, there would be no need
of appealing to Congress. But it is
national problem, and annexation
thrust it upon the territory, and
since Hawaii has been brought into
subjugation by the liquor power of
America, only the greater power of
the nation as incarnated in Congress
can save the remnant of her native
people from death and maintain the
honor of our government. Beyond
this one law, Hawaii asks no legisla-
ton of Congress, but in asking this
she feels that the very life of her
native people is at stake.
1t is stated in the governors last
report that there are at present in
the territory 366 federal licensed
places for the sale of alcoholic Ii
quor, and that the revenue derived
from the same by the internal rev.
enue department of the United
States government in 1915 amounted
to $4,000 Many of these places are
blind pigs, operated by Orientals.

Good Ways With Children

How many mothers make use of a
whistle to call the children home. Our
children understand that three short
whistles, repeated twice, mean that
they are wanted at home Immediately
says a mother. They usually answer
with three sharp, sort yells. The
whistle is far more penetrating than
ones voice, besides saving ones
throat and strength.
When the little chap weeps pulling
his shoes off, look to see if they are
not so short that his toes do not have
fair chance. He may not know any
better way of letting you know that
he is uncomfortable. Punched toes are
sore trial to any of us.
When driving with a small child it
is hard to keep him from slipping off
the seat, especially it is a one-seat-
ed carriage and mother must drive
and watch baby, too. The upper part
of an old high-chair strapped to the
carriage seat makes a safe place for
the child.

A Sewing Hint

a Sewing HInt
When sewing hooks and eyes on a
waist or a waist lining, to close it in
front, the hooks and eyes should be al
ternated. That is, first hook, then
an eye then a hook In this way the
waist cannot gap. To mark the posi-
ton of the hooks and eyes to get
them exact lay tapeline beside one
edge Mark the places for the hooks
and eyes one and one-half or two
inches apart with piece over the
other, getting it exactly in place, and
press with the hand on warm iron.
The marks will be found to be on both
sides alike. Or, mark the position of
hooks and eyes on both pieces with
pins, then sew along the marks, TAX
ing very short stitch under the pin
and one long stitch between the pins.

tell the real horse or dog lover at
glance. You can note the bond of SYM
pathy between man and beast and the
quick response to the masters touch
