UNION STATION SITE
REMAINS UNDECIDED
Change Depends on Willingness of the
Coast Line to Aid the
Seaboard

Numerous conflicting statements
with reference to changing the site of
the union station leave the matter
still in very unsettled condition. A
change of the site seems to depend
upon the willingness of the Atlantic
Coast Line to add to the S15, 1000, of
fered by the Seaboard Air Line yes
terday afternoon, an amount sufficient
TO purchase the II. B. Masters prop
erty. 1t has developed also that no
definite proposition has been made or
accepted by the H. B. Masters COM
pany since the original one turned
down by the railroads. Mr.. B. A.
Weathers, vice-president of the Mas
ters company, has recommended the
acceptance by his company of the ex-
change of the sites on a basis of a
$4,000 bonus. A meeting, however,
of all parties will be held here Mon
day at 2 p. m, when it is hoped that
decision will be reached. j. C. MUIR
Gibson, division superintendent of the
Coast line, vii be here. Whether he
will be accompanied by higher Of
fetal of his road, or will come with
authority to act, is not known.
An Unnecessary Petition
In the meantime John T. Moore is
circulating petition to have the sta
ton built on its present site, the bur
den of his argument being that the
station on the Masters property would
divert business from Magnolia street
to Main street.
Commission Consented
After the Star went to press yes
terday afternoon there were a num-
Der of developments with regard to
the moving of the station. For the
purpose of reaching a decision in the
matter it was decided to have, If pos
sible, conference of the Seaboard
and Coast Line officials with the coun-
ell thi safternoon or Monday. Mr.. w.
P. Huckaby, freight agent for the At
lantic Coast Line, was asked to wire
the officials of his road requesting
that some one with authority to act
come here for the conference. Presi-
dent Nash, of council, at the request
of the Seaboard officials wired the
railroad commission for authority to
have work on the station stopped until
a decision could be reached. The
commission has since authorized the
stopping Of work temporarily, pend
ing the negotiations.

 If you want to keep the paper in your bureau drawers, use little sttekers or labels (the smaller the better). Stick half on the bureau drawer and half on the lining. This will keep the pa- per smooth.
 I find a simple way to hang un- framed pictures Is to fasten wire paper clip to each of the upper corners of the picture and slip these clips over tacks put in the wall. This is very nice for summer cottages.
 To prevent draw strings from pull ing out of garments. sew to each end of tape a bHaSs embroidery ring, larger than the opening in the casing Do NliS after the tape has been in serted. The ring should be button- holed or crocheted with thread tha color of the tape

THE USES oF RAW POTATOES.

Dear Sisters Of The Social Cornerz Seeing so many excellent Ideas and such good recipes in the paper by the many members. am tempted to en- ter few of mine. which hope some of the Sisters will try.
 A few suggestions for the use of raw potatoes:
 How many of us know that if yof have some pieces of dainty silk or silk ribbons you wish to clean and still keep their silky lustre; wash two or three potatoes cut up peelinEs and all. and rub the silk in the wa ter and potato gently. Try this on SIX waist that you cannot wash otherwise. This makes silk look as good as new and takes out the stains.
 Here is another use for raw po- ed yourself badly. grate up raw po- tafo and put on the burned parts. This takes out the fire and soreness; also. if you are subject to boils, this .is dandy to draw them to a head quickly.
 I also have a real good recipe for lemon pie made with raw. potatoes, and wish some of you would try it.
 Rich Tasting Lemon Pie: Three raw potatoes, peeled and grated fine one lemon grated fine. one cup of sugar, one cup molasses, one cup rais- ins, pinch of salt, small piece oi butter; put all together and boil a few minutes and bake between two crusts; this will make thSee small pies. Try it and see how nice 1t is

and bottom, which is so essential to, good health Clean off the dust with a soft brush once or twice a. week. Some housekeepePs buy very slender wood 1aths instead of tape. These may be used season after season. The eff feet is very nice in either case, as the netting does not sag, but tightens be- cause of the rains or dew.
 In these days of chiffon, voiIe, Geor- gette crepe and net dresses the fol- lowing sewing hint is timely: The home 1ressmaker very often finds 1t difficult to cut and sew chiffon, crepe de chine or Georgette crepe. Here is the problem solved: Pin the material firmly on paper, then lay the pattern on the other two thicknesses and cut out the shape wished. Baste and sew the material with the paper still at tached; when 1t is all finished 1t Is easy to tear away the paper and the seams are all perfectly straight.
 A hint for stains on clothes and ta- ble linen: Fruit stains may be re- moved by soaking them in boiling wa ter. Chocolate or tea-stains should be soaked in cold water. For coffee stains, pour boiling water from a height. brushing the spots beforehand with borax.
 A hint for pillow making: In mak- ing pillow cases 1t is good idea to make them at least two inches larger than the pillow. Nothing detracts from the looks of a bed more than pillows stuffed into pillow cases. Then make covers for the pillows of the old cases or of new cloth, just to fit. This serves to cover the ticking and to keep it from becoming soiled or discolored.
 Best wishes to all. hope all are now in the best of health.

TAE SERVANT GIRL QUESTION.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Just a few words as to the servant girl ques- ton. I have been doing the work of a servant girl tfe past few years and must say I prefer that work to any Uther, having had Experience in fac- tory.
 A housegirl in a home learns to cook. sew and be neat and clean with her work, learning what every girl should know when she rnarries. She gets plenty of exercise and fresh air; also good food. and is generally healthy, good natured girl.
 As to the factory girl, she works herself to death. doesn't know a thing of cooking. and is pale and tired; not caring much about life in general Wifla to say the life of a working girl e almost without exception what qhe makes 1t. If she is pleasant and Eood- -natured. she will most always be ttreated that way.

BAKED. copFlsH.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Will send a few recipes.
 Baked CodfsE: One and one-half pounds of salt codfish, one quart of potatoes, one tablespoon of butter, one egg, one-half pint of milk Pick the codfish to pieces, rejecting bones and skin, and soak it for two hours in cold water. Drain 1t; cover 1t with boil ing water and stand it for fifteen min utes on the back part of the stove where 1t will not boil Drain and press out all the water; mix it with the potatoes, which have been boiled and marked (without saIt). Moisten the whole with the milk; press it into a baking dish; dust 1t lightly with black pepper, and put in hot oven to brown.
 Egg Sauce: Put one tablespoon of butter in a frying pan, and when 1t is melted add a level tablespoon of flour: mix and pour in gradually half a pint of cold water, stirring continually un- til 1t bofls. Take it from the fire; add pepper and salt to taste and a hard boiled egg chopped fine.
 Hope some Of the Sisters will try this.
 Picked codfsh: Take a Rnnall piece of the white boneless salt ood1isE1 and with fork pick or pull 1t into shreds or flakes, and heap it on a pretty dish It is to be eaten raw, and if properly prepared will look inviting and prove to be a great appetizer This is some- times gerved to people with capricfous appeutes, and can be accompanied by toasted crackers. Of course, only very little will be required, and if not caIi- ed raw, the idea will not suggest it. self.

USES FOR GUM ARABIC

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Among small children, when 1t is hard to ad- minister medicine, one will find gum drops invaluable for soothing a cough irritation without the dangerous white spots.
 The cheap grade of gum drops are the best for the purpose as there is little sugar in them; they can be given in any quantity as the only effect they which is the first thing required in such cases.
 It is surprising how quickly they will smooth over an irritated throat, and a cough is often stopped entirely by the use of only a few of them.
 If one prefers, a gum syrup can be made for the same purpose. and in gum is pure.
 Procure one-duarter of a pound of the best gum arabic and pour over it one-half pint of hot water; cover tightly and let remain until the gum is all dissolved. Then add one-quar- ter pound of granulated sugar and one half a gill of lemon juice. Place it over the fire and let simmer slowly for ten minutes then bottle and cork tightly and it is ready for use. Water may, be, added if desired when taking the syrup.
 Tn cases of severe sickness when thirst becomes troublesome, the fol- lowing will be found of use: To one teaspoon of powdered gum arabic add two teaspoons of pure glycerine; beat together thoroughly. then add a glass- of cold water with a little lemon juice to give 1t flavor. A small sip will Quench the thirst at once; but h can be taken as freely as desired, being perfectly harmless.
 Gum arabic makes one of the best cements known for mending broken china Take a teaspoon of the gum in enough water to dissolve 1t; then stir in plaster of paris till it is like thick cream; use at once, applying to the broken edges with: g brush and pressing carefully together It Is so white and shining that. it leaves no trace of the break and holds like iron.
 On account of the plaster of paris hardening so quickly only a small quantity should be made at time and that used as quickly as possible.
 To keep the hair In curl or criSmp. try this preparation: Take a small quantity Of gum arabic and add to 1t only just enough boiling water to dls-

A FEW SIMPLE STITCHES IN EN-
 5RoIDERY.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: A lit tie knowledge of this kind will not be worthless.
 Stem Stitch: This stitch Is used in enbroidering flowers and leaves! First send the needle up from be- meath, just within the outline: if yor are working a leaf. begin at the stem Insert the poiRt of the needle on the outline a little above. so that the stitch shall slant upward and bring h up again within the line, a little above the first stitch Follow the outline in fhis manner to the tip and then back to the stem on the left in working stems which need to be wider than the ordinary outline would make them.
 Rope Stitch: This is heavy and very handsome outline stitch. It is usually made with rope silk. The first stitch is taken just as tfe com mon chain stitch, but in the sec ond stitch the needle is inserted just above and to the left of the preced- ing loop. This gives a heavy twist ed effect. which is much richer than any of the common chain stitches.
 There are. many other beautiful stitches. hope some of the Sisters will try these and write of some of your embroidery work. shall be glad to learn some new stitches. I have learned many.
