Made by Buffslo-Dehn Company, Buffalo. N. Y
At last we have picture hook that does not
mar the wall, is invisible and will hang the
picture without the use of wire, cord or any
other cumbersome accessory. 1t is made Of
square-sided steel wire and has at the back
long pointed pin and in the front turned-up
hook All that is needed in this case is to
place the screw eyes on the back of the picture
frame exactly where you want them, turn
them so that they are horizontal and slip them
over the hooks.
The best way is to put the screw eyes in The
frame, place the picture in position against
the wall, make a slight mark on paper or
plaster with the screw eyes and drive in the
hooks over these marks
The Anchor hook itself is an odd-loOking
little contrivance The wire at the back, in
stead of being straight, is bent into the shape
of a letter IS" placed horizontally. This can
be either pushed together or stretched cut, 50
that. if the picture is found to be askew after
the hooks are driven in it can be Strengthened
by altering the hook itself.
These hooks are made in three sizes and are
sold in separate or assorted packages. Prices
10 cents to % cents.

IN planning the weekly menus with
L sufficient variety and the proper
food values the careful caterer is
doing a most important work. IT is
conceded that 90 per cent Of the human
ills come from improper diet and abuse
OF the stomach, ~ il gees without
saving that this is a study which should
receive the most careful attention.
II the food is properly selected, COM
bined and prOpOrtisned. il will main
tain the body at its highest standard,
and the amount of vitality produced in
this way will demand increased exer-
else deep breathing and all the minor
things that tend toward good health.
Simply prepared foods are always to
be preferred. as digestion and assimila-
ton are more quickly performed when
very highly spiced condiments are lack
ing. This. however, does not mean
that the food should be insipid, as
delicious seasoning OF sauce with
piquant flavor will often tempt an
appetite which might otherwise be
languid.
An excellent example Of one OF these
deliciously seasoned dishes will be
found in the Italian stew for Mondays
luncheon; another in the smOthered
chicken suggested for Sundays dinner.
With the coming Of colder weather, hot
dishes should have preference over cold
meat for the evening dinner, and the
sliced ham in spiced sauce and the
mutton sOufle are highly recommended
as means Of converting both cold ham

Korker kleaner.
Made by the Grace Manufacturing Company, AZ
West Broadway, New York, N. Y.

Cleaning powders are so troublesome to APP
ply that in many households silver and metal
utensils get off with "a lick and promise
But the Korker Keaner is such simple little
medium for applying cleaning powder that it
really is great help, especially as it does away
with the gritty cloth which soils and roughens
the hands so that it often takes weeks to get
them into shape again.
This cleaner may be used to apply powder to
knives, forks, silver dishes and utensils of all
kinds, and also tools. In fact, it is suited for
any metal except gold. 1t is simply necessary
to moisten the cork end with water, dip it into
the powder and then rub and rub until you get
the work done. When used with steel wool it
reduces the cleaning of aluminium to a few
minutes work.
The Korker Kleaner is simply circular disc,
one inch high, made of glue, cork and car
borundum. 1t fits into wooden knob handle.
Price, 10 cents.

Efficiency not SIZE" is the slogan OF the
Brownie PAIRING Knives. The old idea that
order to be effective knife must be formidable
in appearance is disappearing rapidly. CaY'
ing knives are no longer Of huge dimensions
and even the small vegetable or pairing knife Is
becoming dwarflke in stature.
The popularity of the short blade parGg
knife is not surprising. 1t is much more e., EN-
cient than its long bladed predecessor. Nhen
YOU have used one of these miniature KNIVES
to operate, for example, on the eye OF potato,

of such a tool and will wonder why any parlng
knife is ever made with a long blade

steel blade is pinned into the handle and mn

end, where it is about an inch across. Held by
a rivet between the two sides of this loop, so
that it works freely back and forth, falling into
position of its own weight, is the jaw of the

Simply press the fattened end of the loop
against any vessel to be lifted. The pressure
pushes the jaw into the best position to grip
that particular edge. Once gripped, there is no
dropping it until the litter is removed.

Stearns Nut Cracker.
Made by E. c. Stearns e. Co., Inc, Syracuse,
N. Y.

Made by E. c. Stearns d Co., ine'' oyfaeuso'
Did YOU ever know that the servant problem
could be settled with nut cracker!
1t was done in one family which cherishes
the reprehensibe habit of lingering over the
nut bowl at luncheon as well as at dinner Inc
Mary Jane at that time in power stood this as
long as she could. Then one day she issued her
ultimatum. 1t was Thursday, her afternoon
out! No nuts for luncheon that day, or even
ing would find fororn and tenantless kitchen.
She wasn't going to wash dishes after any fam
ily that had sat all day over the luncheon table
talking foolishness and cracking nuts!
To lose Mary Jane was out of the question.
To lose the nuts was equally so. The only
solution was a nut cracker that would crack
nuts fast and furiously and so that they would
not look as if they had been ground under
determined heel. Had they only known, rescue
from both difficulties lay in the competent jaws
of the Stearns Nut Cracker
A nut cracker which can negotiate nuts of
any size and thickness of shell without crushing
the meats beyond recognition is blessing at
the table and boon in the kitchen. This de-
scription fits the Stearns Nut Cracker. Also,
1t operates easily, WlIn only OHe Hlo'eihoH' VI
the lever and quick pressure
Two features which increase the efficiency OF
this nut cracker very much are the fact that
it clamps to the table like food chopper and
that there is a hook on the body of the cracker
where a pail may be hung TO receive the cracked
nuts.
The Stearns Nut Cracker has dull nickel
Mated cast metal frame. having two serrated
Jaws operated by an eccentric lever. Price,
$1.25.

Shine Mitten Buster.
Made by Pioneer Manufacturing Company, Har-
ward Ave. and E. lO3d ST., Cleveland, Ohio.

How would you like t. be ate to dust turnl-
ture without running your hands? When IL
comes to CRIME and roughness, busting runs a
close second to dishwashing as bane to the
woman who likes house and hands equally
dainty. This buster goes over the hand like 4
mitten. The palm and fingers are covered with
a chemically prepared yarn which absorbs all
the dust and poishes the article busted. When
the buster has done all the work that could
rightly be expected of a combined buster and
polisher it is only necessary to wash 1t in warm
water to make it is good as new. When dry,
it will work as we'll as ever, the chemical with
which the yarn is treated being apparently I'M
affected by washing
The Shine Mitten Buster was given prac-
teal test in the Tribune Institute Laboratory,
but no analysis was made of the chemical COM
