Before entering the University,
Earle and Merle attended Culver
Military School. When the military
appointments were announced here
in the fall of 1915, Earle was made
corporal, but Merle remained pri-
vate. And so they drilled until the be-
ginning of the second semester of last
year. Their friends found no difficult
ty in distinguishing them. This one
is Earle because he wears corporals
chevrons," they would say.
When the promotions for tha second
semester were read a year ago, both of
the twins were made sergeants. And

both wore three stripes on their arms

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

When driving a nail into plaster
wall, dip nail in hot water first. This
will not break away the wall
Travellers Ink-White blotting pa
per is saturated with aniline black
and several sheets are pasted togeth-
er so as to form thick paste. When
required for use, a small piece is torn
off and covered with a little water.
This makes good writing ink. A
square inch of paper will produce
enough ink to do considerable writ
ing and few pieces would be all that
an exploring party would need carry
with them. AS water is always avail
able the ink is readily made.
No fruit jar that has been standing
for weeks is free from germs. Before
putting fruit i'll them they should be
thoroughly sterilized by boiling in
soda water.
When marking linen handkerchiefs
with indelible ink, first starch the
handkerchiefs and iron them smooth.
Then you can mark them clearly with
ease.
When making egg custard pies, al
ways heat the milk to the boiling point
before mixing II with the eggs. If this
rule is followed the undercrust will
always be crisp.
When you have no one to hold the
yarn while you wind it place two fiat
irons the proper distance apart, on the
table. stretch the yarn to them and
wind it conveniently.
Lean meat has nourishing and re-
building qualities in diet, but we should
not neglect fats in our foods. The best
and most easily digested way to take
fat is in the form of olive oil.
Be sure that the kitchen table is the
proper height, If it is little too low,
or a little too high. the position ip
which you stand to accommodate your
self to its height will cause your back
to ache.
Never put the sugar from lemon
peel into cakes. II is likely TO make
them heavy. Save it for sweetening
milk pudding or custard. TO either Of
which it is great Improvement.
Food carelessly exposed invites
germs.
