GOOD THINGS TO KNOW

When ironing table linen, iron with
the seIvage and not across the grain.
To clean bamboo furniture use a
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 can 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.
Iron saucepans should be cleaned as
soon as possible after use, and If any
thing greasy has been boiled in them
put In some soda and boil up.

''Who is Horace?" asked the week
end guest. The hostess laughed.
'Why, it's the furnace" she adj
mitted. you see, we have got in
to the merry way of playing a game
with our housekeeping, and naming
everything in the house. 1t isn't nearly
as much of a task to tend the furnace
when it is named Horace and is, in
way, q helpful, active member of the
family, as when it Is regarded merely
as nuisance. A furnace isn't q nuis-
ance, you know. It is a big, comfort
able friend-only, like most friends. 1t
has to be liked and appreciated and
visited with in order to do it's best
work. So, instead of going down to
put coal In cold, forbidding, ugly
stove, my husband goes down to feed
Horace, and make him feel better for
having his clnders shaken down, to pat
him metaphorically with the poker,
and thank him for keeping the water
in the bathroom warm. Silly, isn't it?
But it brings such a nice glow of fun
into an ordinary job.

People in Books.

There is no possession people are so
unwilling to let one have as an imagi-
nation. In private friends will tear
book to shreds to discover some por-
trait they can recognize; and in the
case of authors famous enough to be
dead, critics rake the ground wher-
ever they have trod in an effort to
prove that the folk of their fancy were
drawn from the earth rather than the
air. There seems no means of con-
vincing a reader that in a writer's head
are constantly thousand faces he has
never seen or heard Of, all subtle with
story, and all so real that they often
make his daily waking seem a dream.

JUICE FROM fruit
AOT.WEATHER DRINKS AND
coLD-WEATHER JELLIEs.
Member of the Faculty of the Missouri
College of Agriculture Tells of the
Best Methods Of Collect
ing the juices.

The hot weather led Miss Addie II.
Root of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture to urge the members OF the
girls canning clubs all over the state
to can as much fruit and vegetables as
possible before it Is too late. 1t ls one
of the principles of these clubs, organ
lied and directed by the college, to
see that nothing is wasted if they can
make good use Of 1t. In her recent
letter of directions to the girls MISS
Root makes many suggestions that are
just as applicable in the Kitchens OF
grown-ups as anywhere else. She says:
"Canning-club members may vary
the work by canning fruit juices They
are valuable addition to the canning
collection. as they can be used in SO
many ways. There Is great adVan-
tage in preparing them in large quanh-
ties to be used throughout the year.
Fruit juices lend themselves to a
large variety Of uses such as ices, ma
voring, ice cream, gelatin desserts
buildings and sauces. There is no
more refreshing and easily prepared
drink for hot day than an iced fruit
juice.
'The juice may be extracted from the
fruit cold by crushing the fruit i'm
fruit press or a cider mill or small
press after it is washed and sorted.
The most economical method for the,
extraction of Juice is to cook it out
eff juicy fruits, such as currants'
raspberries and grapes, are being
used, place the clean fruit in an enam-
eled preserving kettle, add just enough
water to prevent burning Zone cupfui
to four or five quarts Of fruit). Place
where fruit will cook rather slowly,
stirring occasionally with wooden or
enameled spoon. When the simmer
ing point is reached mash the fruit,
then continue heating until the whole
mass is cooked through. Care should
be taken not to heat too long, as the
delicate favor Is destroyed. Pour the
hot mass into a sufficiently large
piece of coarse cloth, cheesecloth or
flour sack, which has been wrung out
of hot water. Tie opposite corners to-
gether and let juice drain into an
earthenware or enameled dish. Ii a
clear juice Is desired, as for jelly, do
not squeeze the bag. However, for
general use squeeze the bag until all
the juice is extracted. From less juicy
fruits, like apples, pears and ounces,
wash the fruit, discard any unsound
portions. cut into small pieces (skins
and seeds included), cover with water,
then proceed just as in case of juicy
fruits.
Canning Fruit Juice.-Fil clean
jars With juice. Adjust the rubbers
and screw the tops on loosely. Lower
upon rack into Gamer, cover with hot
water and sterilize Is minutes. Count
from the time when the water in the
Gamer begins to boil. Remove jars,
screw lids tight, and cool away from
draft"
Those who are interested in other
phases of canning will probably wish
to write to the Missouri College Of Ag-
riculture, Columbia. Mo-, for Circular
No. Of the extension service, which
was recently issued. 1t is entitled
