AS LINEN CLOSET SHOULD BE
Right Way to Keep Receptacle Upon
Which So Much of the Family's
Comfort Depends.

The shelves of the linen closet look
most attractive ii they are trimmed
with white paint from top to bottom.
Cheesecloth, with thickness of cot
ton batting, sprinkled with lavender
flowers, should be packed up against
the back of each partition, and small
punches of dried lavender hung up
from the top shelf.
The top should be reserved for blan-
kets, spreads and quilts. Partitions
on the lower shelves should separate
the sheets, pillowcases, towels, table
cloths and napkins, and special
place should be provided for doilies
tray cloths and bureau covers.
BY keeping her linen methodically
arranged in this manner, the house
keeper knows exactly how her stock
stands and can replenish systematical>
ly.
Many women have adopted the plan
OF adding one new article to the linen
chest each week, and thus can keep
ahead of the game without any per
ceptible drain IN the family purse.

MAKE KITCHEN BRIGHT
EASILY DONE BY EXERCISE OF A
LITTLE THOUGHT.
Many Reasons Why Room Should Be
the CIeanest, Sunniest and Most
Cheerful in the Householder
Scheme Means Much.

One wonders at the housekeepers
who choose for their kitchen walls
and woodwork a dingy gray or brown
or some other dark, dull color that
will not show the dirt. Are they bet
ter housekeepers because the dirt,
which is surely there, does not SHOW!
Would these same women wear black
dresses and aprons when doing the
cooking and feel that they were clean
because they did not look soiled?
The kitchen should be the cleanest,
sunniest, and most cheerful room in
the house. 1t is here the housekeeper
spends most of her time, and it is
here the food is prepared and often
served.
1t is not always possible to have
the kitchen located SO as to get the
best light, but a dark room may be
much improved by using the proper
color. In a Minnesota town the
school kitchen had windows on the
east side only. Half Of them were on
a court and the others against hill;
but by the use Of deep cream tint
on the ceiling, buff for the walls,
and woodwork of southern pine fin
ished in the natural color and
vanished, the effect Of sunlight was
given even on the dull, short days
of the northern winter.
If there is much sunshine in the
kitchen white or blue may be used;
but on the north side of the house use
buff or warm. yellowish tan. The
increased cheerfulness and better
spirits of the housekeeper will mean
much to the entire family, and her
work will not be increased by the new
color scheme because sunny, pleas
ant workshop lightens every task

UNITING NORTH AND SOUTH
Railroad From Nome to Cape Horn
May Be Considered Certainty
of the Future.

Stimulation of commerce between
North and South America, due to the
European war, has revived interest in
the project of an all-rail route con
Meeting the United States with the
countries of the southern hemisphere.
Wien this is carried out, as it is al
most certain to be some day for
strategic as we'll as commercial rea-
sons, it must be extended to include q
railway connection with Alaska, where
this United States government now
has surveying parties in the field Sc
lecting routes for a railway system tn
develop the resources of that country
Such a railway. reaching continu-
ously from the great pateau OF central
Alaska to the pampas of South Ame--
lea and beyond, would constitute the
biggest enterprise of it's kind ever un'
dertaken, if it were not that more than
half of the line has already been built
and is in operation
Since the surveys for the PanAmer-
ican railway were made there has
been a steady development in railway
building in South America, particular
ly in Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argen
tina, so that much of the work
planned at that time has already beer!
done.
That portion Of western Canada ly-
ing east of the coast range, formerly
considered a forbidding country with
an arctic climate, has been invaded
by two trunk line railways, and its
resources are being rapidly developed.

WASHINGTON, d. G. - The navy
department has decided TO keep within
conservative bounds In the matter of
the speed of submarines. Reliable adj
vices from abroad indicate that 1S
knots is the highest speed yet attain
ed and that by an English submarine.
The last naval sappropriatipn bill

internal-combustion engine. When
Rear Admiral Griffin made this an
nouncement to the house naval affairs
committee on January %. several
members expressed approval OF the
contemplated action. It developed
that the suggestion Of 25 knots speed

No such condition should have been

construction Of submarines, and 1t
