Citron Marmalade

"The recipe for citron marmalade, though the name is new to me, is as fol- lows: One grape fruit one orange, one lemon. Slice in wafers or put through the food grinder, rejecting nothing but the seeds. Measure and add three times the quantity of cold water; let all stand "A hours, boil 10 minutes, let stand "A hours. Add to the fruit and juice an equal quantity of sugar, boil two hours or until 1t will jelly when chilled and pour off into jars or glasses as preferred. This is an excellent recipe which is in constant use among my friends, ana which has the double merit of economy and ease in preparation. It is really de- licious The poor soul who wants to get up 'pungent cook book'-what sort of yarn or wool do you suppose she wants and what is her address?
 "ADMIRER OF THE CORNER"
 Accept a unanimous vote of thanks from Cornerites! Had you trusted us with your full address and sent the clipping with initials of ''the poor soul' at tached we might have compiled with your request. As it is, we are helpless in the matter.

Take from the fire add cinnamon or gingerito taste, and pour the mixture into pie plates lined with pastry Cook in a brisk oven, GOV ered for 10 minutes, then brown lightly Eat cold or lukewarm. I frankly confess that this-the one and only recipe for but ter scotch pie at my command-does moi fill the measure of my fancy. Will some body send in a better?

Cleaning Red Fox Furs

Could you tell me how to clean set Of red fox furs, and also a set of beaver furs? I saw directions for cleaning white furs sometime ago, but supposed this method would not apply to red fox and beaver. We have plenty of old school books to give away to those who will pay postage or expressage on them.
 "L. D." have cleaned colored furs satisfac- torily in this way: With a whisk broom wet in alcohol until it drips. brush the fur until every hair is saturated down to the hide While it is still wet sift in all the pulverized fuller's earth it will hold. The darker the earth the better. Cover to exclude dust and do not touch for two days. Then brush and beat out the pow der and smooth the furs with hat brus. Crime and grease will come out with the alkaline powder. I have not tried this upon heaver furs but I see no reason why you should not. The process Will certainly clean them. Of course all the dust that clings to the furs must be we'll brushed out before they are wet, otherwise you have to get rid of deposit of mud.

MT. w. F. Mel MdjeSticS Nezo Manager Talks
 OplinStcay A bout Moving Pictures in Birmingham
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE
'THA Birmingham IS considered

HAT Birmingham IS considered the
 best moving picture city in the
 south is the optimistic news that w. F. Mel, the new manager of the Majestic theatre. brings back from New York, where he recently had the pleasure of meeting many of the heads of the big film corporations
 Birmingham ranks ahead of them all, !" said MT. Mel. "in the estimation of the film mangnates, when it comes to en- thusiam and patronage of the movies"
 MT. Mel comes to Birmingham full of optismism in regard to the future of the moving picture industry; his word counts for a great deal, too since for 10 exhibiting end of the game and later with the manufacturing. and knowing the business from start to finish, as well as he knows his A B C's.
 MT. Mel is an ex-newspaper man, brother of R. E. L. Mel of Selma, who is one of the most popular newspaper men in Alabama. He is well qualified to handle the moving picture business ably and successfully, for he is clever, brainy and capable. and sees ahead wonderful opportunities for Birmingham in one of the biggest industries in the world today.
 T have adopted no new policy yet for the Majestic" Mr. Mel said in speaking of the pretty and popular playhouse of which he is now manager. Those things Will be done to suit conditions. 1 have made the price of admission for children cents on the 10-cent shows as many parents would like their children to see the good pictures and don't feel as if they would care to pay full price. The same reduction will be made proportion ately on all pictures. and Ill this way believe that the educational films when shown will be largely patronzed by chiI- dren."
 When I was in New York" MT. Mel said, a few days ago, I met a great many of the heads of the big corpora uons. Especially was I impressed with capable. fine man, with head full of sense. He, of course, is featuring Miss Clara kimball Young as he is president of the new Clara kimball Young Film corporation, which went into effect Juty l, when Miss Young left the World Film corporation He told me that this pop uar star would receive S15OOO week for her services with the new corporation.
