"a Il is well to remember that if
IA you save a cent on a purchase
IA of cents or more you are saving
not only a cent, but 20 per cent,
which seems more worth while When
using a dozen eggs, as happens in big
families often, in others on occasions
Try scraping out the eggshells with
a spoon. This will give you the amount
of one egg and is well worth saving,
especially while eggs are SO very high.
When eggs are cheap they should be
put down for the winter. Packed in
water glass, they are just as good for
any form of baking and will keep
year if properly done. a quart of wa
ter glass added to twelve quarts of
boiled and cooled water put into large
stone crooks after the eggs are placed
will keep them perfectly. The eggs
should of course be perfectly fresh
and great care taken not to crack
them. Cover the jar and keep in
cool place.
One of the common wastes in most
homes is the unscraped mixing bowl
Spatulas may now be bought at the
ten cent counter, and a few turns
with spatula will scrape out dish,
often saving the amount Of an indi-
vidual cake or gem or biscuit. If round
bottomed mixing bowls are used for
the dough mixtures, the scraping proc
ess will be much shortened, as the
spatula, being flexible, will take up
every bit of the dough.
When apples are used if the parings
are saved and boiled with little wa
ter, then the water added to equal
quantities of sugar and boiled, a glass
of jelly or two, which will be fresh ,
and inviting, will be ready for your
table

How to Nip Cold Before II Gets a
Hold on You.

If you find you have caught cold in
spite of precaution, nip it in the bud.
The time to attack cold in order to
cure it is at the very start. At the
first sniffie or the first cough begin to
fight it. Drink plenty of fresh water,
eat lightly and get plenty of sleep.
Before going to bed take hot bath
and drink hot lemonade. Then GOV.
er up warmly and be sure there is no
draft between the windows and the
door, but have the windows open
enough to get plenty of air in the room.
This treatment will probably cause you
to perspire freely, and you must be
careful not to throw off the covers and
expose your overheated body to more
cold.
If this treatment is taken at the start
and carefully adhered to it will prob
ably drive the cold right out of your
system. But if you do not treat it at
the very beginning it will have to run
It's course gradually.

fifty of these banks west of Buffalo
and South of Baltimore.
According to latest reports, there are
634 banks of the mutual type, located
as follows: Maine, 4S; New Hampshire,
46; Vermont, 81; Massachusetts, 100;
Rhode Island, 10; Connecticut, 81; New
York, 40; New Jersey 20; Pennsyl-
vania, 10; Delaware, 2; Maryland, IS;
which accounts for all but "a in the

The deposits in these six hundred
banks total $3,915,G26, 100, of which
S1,7O0,63,766 is in New York, followed
by Massachusetts with 1861, 416. SS9
In depositors New York likewise leads,
having 3,114,240 depositors, while Mas
sachusetts has 2,249,S24.
These figures do not include the
stocks savings banks, of which there
are upwards of 1900 in various parts
of the country, nor banks of discount
operating savings departments. Nor
is it to be inferred that one is better
than the other; but the Centennial cele-
bration which commentaries CEN
fury of savings banking is to do honor
to the mutual savings bank with no
disparagement to other types, whose
history is not SO clearly defined, al
though their operation may have done
as great good. In his first message
to the Legislature in 1920, Governor
Clinton of New York characterized the
savings bank as IAN institution TO
cherish meritorious industry, encour-
age frugality, and to promote the well
fare of families, the cause of morality
and the good order of society" And
he was right. 1t has done all this in
thousands of instances for a hundred
years and well merits all the honor
and credit that may come to it after
a century of honorable conduct.

cornstarch, quart of water, one-half
teaspoonful of boraX and one-half ta-
blespoonful of shaved paraffin
The starch is rubbed in little cold
water, and then into it the quart of
freshly boiled water is stirred Let it
cook for two minutes, stirring all the
time. When it turns slightly blue add
paraf1in and boraX and cook a minute,
stirring hard, but taking care not to

solution before washing. After being
set they are washed in warm water
with white soap, never with a brown

quickly and the garments dried in
doors.
