aHoat and will be equipped with the
biggest caliber armament Tentative
plans drawn for their construction by
the naval authorities put their dis
placement at 10000 tons and their ar.

The recommendation for ten sixteen.
inch rifles comes direct from the gener-
al board ana has the Endorsement Of
mapy ordnance officers, although there
IS d difference Of opinion IN naval cir
cles as 10 whether sixteen inch or four
teen inch guns should prevail The
same arguments caused a division OF
opinion among naval authorities when
1t was proposed TO use fourteen inch
instead Of twelve inch guns.
The tentative plans for battleships,
battle cruisers, destroyers, submarines,
gunboats, a hospital ship and n fuel

OF the authorization Of these various
types Of vessels.

the design for these ships Is entirely
new in the United States navy. II IS
already calculated, however, that the
speed OF these vessels must not be
under thirty-five knots.
1t Is believed &C the navy depart
ment that congress will he disposed

The theory followed by the supporters

The charact aristics OF the new de
stroyers included in the 1917 program

TABLE LINEN REQUIRES CARE
Must Not Be Laundered in the Usual
Ways, if Best Results Are
to Be Obtained.

Good table linen, in the first place,
means much. But care of the same
linen means more.
Strong beaches must never be used
on fine table linen. OF course, table linz
en- is often badly spotted and needs to
be cleansed in some way. But boiling
water removes coffee spots, cold water
removes cocoa spots and sunshine re-
moves many stains. When stronger
acids must be used. they should be APP
piled and removed by intelligent hands.
They should be allowed to remain on
the spot just long enough to eradicate
them, and then rinsed thoroughly out
with clear water. For if they remain
on too long they remove not only spots
but pieces Of linen.
Some old-fashioned housewives oc-
casionally have their table linen dipped
in buttermiik to whiten It, The linen is
allowed to remain in the buttermilk for
a day or two, If necessary, and is then
thoroughly rinsed in cool, clear water
later in warmer water.
For fruit stains, pour boiling water
through them while the stains are
damp, if possible. If they dry on rub
them with lard and put through the
usual washing process.
Always dry table linen out of doors
in the sunshine. If possible, have "a
little bleaching green of grass, pro
tected from the inroads of cats and
dogs.

SOME CHUNKS or WISDOM
suit Of Many Years Experience
and Observation.

Did you ever know that you could
test an ovens right neat for cooking
certain eatables with a simple piece
of white paper? If the paper turns Il
light yellow, scarcely perceptible, it
is ready for cookies or sponge cake (;
if it turns a nearly decided yellow. it
is ready for pies pound cake and
mince pies; if deep yellow. it is
ready for bread. If it blackens the
paper cool the oven right off.
Did you ever know that if you want
ed anything cooled quickly that by
placing its dish in a pan Of heavily
sailed cold water, you would get re-
suits as quickly as if it were set on
ice2
Did you ever hear from old-fash-
toned folk that all vegetables that
grow above ground must be put to cook
in boiling water and all that grow be
low ground, but new potatoes, must
be put to cook in cold water?
Did you ever know that in eating
you must not mix too much fruit and
vegetabesf Cabbage and apples are
not intended to be eaten together but
by those who have the strongest of
digestive organs. and these can soon
be abused. Grapefruit, or an orange,
and cereals and milk, eaten at the
same meal will sometimes, after a
while, and occasionally very soon, set
you to wondering what has gone
wrong with you.
