uoeou;tos. In Baodad,

A round the world electrical engineer
tells this story:
I'VE ran up to Bagdad to put over a
little deal with the pasha, a former
government official who had been
prominent in the days Of Abdul Hamid-
His palace was infested with mosqui-
toes, and we had to plan to give him
relief.
"He lived in the usual Moorish
house, with high walls, fat roof with
parapets, few windows and open court
The old pasta looked exactly as If he
had just stepped out Of a Broadway
musical comedy with his shining silk
robes, turban and red shoes with up
turned toes.
I'm the palace garden was a stream
with fall Of about ten feet 1t would
develop about one-fourth horsepower.
We built a water mill, equipped It
with q dynamo. wired the palace and
started up some gigantic electric fans.
These fans cooled the air and also
blew through the rooms a narcotic
sufficiently powerful to cause the
mosquitoes 10 fall in coma. All that
remained was for the servants to go
around and sweep them up In piles to
be destroyed" &C. T. Hadley In WOrl

The Real Thing.

Fred, aged three, had been naughty
boy, and his mother had punished him.
He felt very much hurt and complain
ed to his auntie about mammals
spanking him. Auntie said, ut is not
you that mamma spanks, but little
devil inside Of you who makes you do
naughty things" After sitting very
still for FIVE minutes he said, 1T beats
all how 1t hurts me when that devil
gets spanked. "-Delineator.

Hints.
TO TAKE OUT MACHINE STITCHING
rAoITv

TO TAKE OUT MACHINE STITCHING
EASILY
II machine stitching must be taken
out begin at the end and with scissors
clip the top thread at two or three.inch
intervals along the entire seam. Then
with the point OF the scissors lift up two
or three stitches and pull out each piece
OF thread. This is easily done and when
you have removed the top thread the
bobbin thread will be entirely loose and
can be pulled out in one piece and used
again for basting. With any other meth
cd that know Of you leave tiny bits OF
thread or wrinkle your goods and give
1t . drawn appearance. This way, how
ever, saves both time and thread.
A TIP FOR IRONING DAY
A good way 10 prevent the hand from
excessive heat when large ironing must
be accomplished, is to put piece of
thin leather and piece of paper next to
the top layer in making the iron.holder.
use the top part of an old shoe. Also
put piece like the cover, one.half the
size of the holder, on the outside. Sew
but leave 1t free in the center OF holder
and slip the fingers into this pocket
when ironing This is great protection
to the tender skin on the backs of the
fingers.
SHORTCUT IN NUT-CRACKING
Almost all housewives know how very
hard it is to crack pecan nuts, so I hope
they will try my way. Pour boiling
water over the nuts and allow them to
stand tightly covered for five or six
hours. The nut meats may then be ex
tracted easily without q. trace Of the Bit
ter lining Of the nut. Use nut-crackers
and crack lightly all around the nuts.
The work IL quickly done and is not at
all like the old tedious process of picking
out the meats from the dry nuts. The
meats nearly always come out whole.
ANEW ADDITION TO SOUP
The addition of small cup of oatmeal
to beef aud tomato soup is vast i'm.
provement to the flavor and to the nour-
ishing qualities. 1t is not recognizable,
and for children it is an added valuable
nutriment.

The Minister who Feels
Well on Monday

With many ministers, Monday Is an
"off day." Not in the way of doing
nothing, but in the sense of not feel
ing we'll. After the hard work of Sat-
urday and Sunday, comes the nervous
and physical reaction of Monday, with
that "all-in" feeling. This is a con-
dition many ministers would be glad
to be freed from. They can avoid it
by giving proper attention to diet, and
taking IL. F." Atwood's Medicine to
keep the bowels in order, the stomach
toned, the liver regulated, and the
head clear. This old home remedy
is so good that many ministers are
glad to recommend it, feeling that
they are passing along a kindness in
so doing. We will send free sample
to any minister, upon request.
