The Plated Skirt.

Plated skirts often give trou-
BILE with the back closing. To !
keep it from parting, do not
open 1t In the center back seam
If you have an inverted or box
plait. but have the skirt ready
for the band, all seams stitched.
and pin the plaits in carefully.
Then slash down on the right in
side crease of the center plait.
This makes closing that will
not part. and needs about half
the number of hooks and eyes.
Allow the band long enough to
reach across to the slashed side.
Plaits that swing out of place
can be stitched to position at
the extreme edge on the under
side. This is good method for
all cotton and other washable
skirts.

To Tell Pure Butter.

In these days when oleomarg,lrine
or process butter can hardly be distin.
guished from the genuine article. It is
well for every woman to know simple
test or two that will aid In detecting
the genuine from imitation. Pure but.
ter, II melted, should be clear; If II
Is cloudy, 1t Is the manufactured prod.
uct. Put little butter in spoon and
hold II over flame. II 1t sputters and
crackles noisily, 1t is oleomargarine

How to Raise Value
Of Market Eggs

Give the hens clean nests and plenty
OF them.
Gather eggs twice daily during warm
weather and daily during other sea-
sons.
Handle eggs just as little as possi-
BILE. Every time they are handled they
deteriorate.
Market eggs Of the correct size, "a
to % ounces per dozen.
Overly large or very small eggs
should be culled out.
Clean eggs only swill bring best
prices. Have clean nests and clean
houses. Never wash the eggs as it
spOils the bloom and spoils the keep
ing quality. The last thing hen does
before laying an egg is to deposit a
fluid about 1t which seals it, as it were,
and acts as protection.
Produce infertile eggs. They stand
shipment better than fertile eggs; they
do not develop germs, Withstand the
heat, cost less to produce, and seldom
decay from any trouble in the interior
of the egg. XIII, sell or confine the
mature male birds as soon as the
Matching season is over.
Keep the eggs in a cool place. A
dry, cool room. or dry, cool basement
or cellar, will prevent shrinkage, mold
and chick development.
Don't let eggs come in contact with
bad odors such as paints, kerosene,
cabbage or decaying vegetables or
meat.
Held eggs deteriorate. They shrink

The round of household toll and care,
The binding up of hearts that bleed,
The girding up of hearts that dare
The labor of loves law made good

God grant you through earth's wear

To walk undaunted to the last.
Climbing the sleeps of hard-won good
