THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

To Wash Silk Hose-Silk stockings
should be soaked first in borax water,
then washed in scapy water which is
only lukewarm. They should never be
wrung but squeezed and rinsed in two
waters of the same temperature. Next,
dip a towel in hot water and fold the
stockings in this for an hour, then
press on the wrong side with a cool
iron
When Pouring Medicine from a bot
tie pour from the side opposite the
label. Any medicine running down the
side of the bottle can be easily wiped
off and the label will always stay
clean and neat.
Dustless Mop-Take a length (any
length you desire) of cheesecloth, hem
it neatly and dip it into cedar oil, lin
seed oil or kerosene The wiring as
dry as possible and hang it in the air

until it gets dry. That is your dustless
buster. The first named oil is the best.
Now for the mop. If you have a floor
mop and want to make it a dustless
kind, simply dip it in oil, squeeze and
and dry. A very good mop can be made
by taking several old stockings and
cutting them in inch wide strips bind
them to the end of an old broom handle
and fasten tightly. Then dip in the
oil and allow to dry in the air. Old
rope cut in lengths of IA inches. then
the rope tied in the center and bound
and nailed to broom handle makes a
good mop. The ends of the rope are
separated or fringed before dipping in
to the oil.
Each of these busters and mops can
be washed when they are filled with
dust and when they are dry they will
be as good as ever If, however, after
washing several times the oil is gone,

simply don't realize that girl gets
tired of entertaining at home.
If you like the boy, consider him as
friend, but give up the idea OF mar
rying him. You probably cant force
him to marry you if he doesn't want
you, and if you did get him he might
be so close with his money that you
would not be happy.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | have been
married, but | am now separated from
my husband. Our marriage was no
love affair, just business arrange
ment, and so there is no possible
chance of patching it up, l do not care
for him and he does not care for me. A
few months ago | met very nice man
somewhat older than myself. He is "a
and I am 81. l have never seen any
one | really care for as much as l do
him. After | met him that once l
didn't see him for some time, but
didn't care then. | never went out OF
my way to get with him or in his COM
pany. Then he called on me one even
ing and since then we have been to-
gether almost continually. He would
call for me and we would go to the
movies together almost every other
night He told me that he wanted me
to get divorce so that he could have
me for all his own. He was making
preparations for a trip 5000 miles
away. He told me that after | had my
divorce he would come for me. Now
that he has gone | have never had one
letter or card from him. He has been
gone almost two weeks. Before he
went | said that when he was away he
would soon forget me. He told me that
he would never forget me, because he
loved me better than anything. Do
you think he really cares for me? 1t
worries me because he doesn't write
and / have the blues all the time.
KEN-HEARTED JESS.
Men are careless about writing, and
when their minds are occupied with
something else they are very apt to
forget women. You have no cause yet
to worry.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
chums of 16.
n Is it all right for two couples to
go to a city IA miles from where they
live to spend the day or afternoon?
(2) Is there any harm for girl to
sit on a boys lap when out driving, II
there are four in the buggy?
go Is it wrong for boy to kiss a
girl goodnight?
a. Should young girls go out driv-
ing at night or evening?
80 What should girl say If a boy
says he loves her and she is in doubt
about it?
t6) When a boy says that the girl
he goes with is very nice and he likes
her and will go with her as long as
she remains so, should the girl think
he believes she will not be nice after a
while or what should she think?

CD A girl should not sit on boys
lap. If she does people will lose their
respect for her and cheaper her rep
utation by talking.
go When a girl makes practice
of kissing boys goodnight her kisses
become so cheap that no one values
them. The girl demoralizes her own
character and sacrifices the respect
she might claim from the right kind
of boys.
"a Girls who are not yet IS should
certainly not go unless they are chap
eroned.

not talk that way. If she is too young,
she should say so; and if she cares for
him only as a friend she should tell
him that, too.
CO. Such remark is really of no i'm
portance. The boy is trying to show
off and make the girl realize what d
fine character he has.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you think
a fellow cares anything for you when
he never takes you any place or gives
you anything? l have tried every way
to get his attentions and to get him
to marry me. Should l consider him a
friend or not?
