TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD

BY MARY LEE.

Here are some contributions for our
house in order department.
In order to save dish-washing. put

Small baking dishes of brown earthen-
ware or white enamel are excellent, as
they may be set in the oven or on the
stove without injury. and are dainty
enough to be placed on the table when
their contents have been heated"
THE broken door or window screen
is an eyesore all summer if 1T is left
unmended, or the repairing is done
clumsily. The neatest way to mend
the screen is to cut piece of wire
netting about three inches larger than
the hole. Remove the wires around the
edge of the patch for half an inch or
more, like drawing away the threads
from a piece of linen. Bend the result
ing prongs at right angles and fit the
patch in place with the wire ends stick
ing through the screen. Press the patch
fat against the larger surface, then on
the other side press the ends back to
their original position. This secures
the patch"
Very good dust mops may be made
inexpensively. Buy two scent dish
mops and saturate them with coal oil.
These serve as well as those which
cost 25 cents"
Have an old magazine handy on
the kitchen serving table upon which
to place hot or soled dishes from the
stove AS the top leaf becomes soiled
it is torn off and burned Because of
the weight of the magazine it is often
possible to tear off a leaf with one
hand while the other hand is engaged.

stains and burns When the youngsters
want to paste things into their scrap
books give them an old magazine to
work on. AS fast as a leaf becomes
gummy it may be torn off and thrown
away, and a clean one is always wait
ing This saves the table from becom-
ing sticky and smeared with paste"

the pictures from a cloth nursery pic
ture book and sew them to the blanket
The bright pictures will attract baby's
attention and he will pat and pick at
them by the hour and keep perfectly
contented on his soft, warm, creeping
rug. This idea may also be used in
connection with the baby fence, for
baby may be left inside the fence with
his pictorial floor covering. and run no
risks of falling on sharp playthings.

This is the proverbial sauce for boiled

Add to this, slowly, cup of boiling

of butter in bits. Season. add the juice

Beef Saute.

Beer Saute.
Fry two finely sliced onions in two
ia blespoonfuls Of melted butter or drip
ping and add cold meat diced, season to
taste. and cook ten minutes, tossing
about frequently. Sprinkle with a
spoonful of -four and stir well. then add
cup of veal stock and two tablespoon
fuls of vinegar. Cook ten minutes, stir
ring frequently. A teaspoonful of fine
ly chopped parsley AIDED with the -four
will improve the flavor to most tastes.
Serve with boiled rice or mashed potato.
Beef Hash.
Cut leftover beef in small dice. Add
to it one-half as much finely chopped
cold boiled potato as meat. Heat up in
saucepan in which a finely chopped
white onion has been cooked to light
brown in tablespoonful of butter
(stirred occa sienally). Season to taste
with salt and pepper and add broth or
stock to moisten-a little more than
will be absorbed by the meat and
potato in half an hours cooking. A
white or well seasoned veal stock in
which all the vegetables of the hest
soup bunch have been cooked is best
for this, but the roast beef gravy, per-
haps thinned a little with boiling water,
will answer. and may be richer than the
stock. Cook on top of stove five min
utes and then in the oven for twenty
FIVE or thirty minutes.

The gratifying outlook for more prosperous
county IS becoming more pronounced daily, and
the fact that our possibilities are being recogniz
ed by successful men in commercial endeavors
from the busy marts Of trade in the world cen
tres is conclusiveIy shown by the recent visit Of
the Washington Retail Merchants Association,
who are catering to our patronage Our vast
natural resources and favorable climate, together
with our fertile soils, makes St. Marys one OF
the most desirable sections Of the eastern sea-
board as a farming and dairying center. Of
late our transportation facilities have 50 greatly
improved that our Advancement will be by far
greater strides than hitherto
Now that we are in position to successfully
compete with other markets because Of our IN
creased facilities, there remains for us only the
growing Of the necessities for the hungry city
folk. IN great measure the commercial stand
ing Of community is gagged by the number
and value Of its enterprises; but here the case is
slightly different. Our main object should be
TO build up our soils and SO produce a greater
quantity and better quality. The industrials,
however, are of vast importance here, and should
our people see fit to cooperate IN establishing
an industry that would create local demand
for what we produce our gains would thereby
be greatly increased.
A project IS now on foot to establish can
ming factory, and some Of our most substantial
men are interested. This interest should be
encouraged and the matter given careful
thought When We realize that great future
i ahead II is, Ne should lose no time IN avail
ine ourselves Il ON opportunities.

In several Of the large cities municipal pre-
paredness program is being carried on. Ihous-
ands are marching through the city streets with
banners procIaiming as citizens of this great
country A demand for adequate protection Of
their homes and the homes Of their neighbors
Such demonstration is being held in Balti-
more today and, it is to be hoped, will succeed
in awakening from their unpatriotic lethergy
those who shudder at the thought Of preparing
preparing for what eventuaEties these uncertain
times may bring forth. 1t is altogether fit and
proper that Baltimore should demonstrate so
deep concern, for unless the government sup
plies the necessary Safeguards he safety Of the
city would be greatly jeopardized, should we
unhappily become engaged in war
AS the Baltimore Sun puts it, we are nation
big and strong, but unframed and unorganIzed.
We are expert money-makers and have devoted
our talents to this endeavor rather than TO the
very serious problems Of self-protection. Our
vast wealth makes us an object of envy and
jealousy Of the other powers, whose very life is
being sapped by the present conflict This is
no movement in favor Of either miItarism nor
munition manufacturers, but for the safety and
protection Of American lives and American
property.
