XIR OF LIFE

m HAUNCEY DEPEW, who
V is getting along in years
and seems to have enjoy
ed life pretty we'll offers the
following advice on the sub
iect of longevity:
David's ninetieth Psalm (the one
mentioning three-score years and ten
as mans allotted span) has killed
more people than this war. ten times
over They believed they had to die
and died.
Just because David said seventy
needn't prevent you from going on to
eighty, ninety or one hundred.
Don't retire at sixty or seventy.
Keep on going. Have interest in life,
If not sport--then public service.
Have an eye for a pretty gsri-aud
tell your wife all about her.
You needn't be a mollyccddIe or an
insip'd Pollyana when you're seveAty
or older. Enjoy yourself. But do
your little charities as you so along
and you'll be glad to have lived this
glorious life.

the subject of how old men

banks no longer close their

AS an upshot the American
citizen must forego the thrill
ing experience Of wondering
whether or not his money is
safe in his bank. He knows it
is safe and he feels no appre-
hensi0n on the subject, He

The rest of the people seem

to control the situation, but if war is
forced on the Mexican nation by the
Americans l am both ready and will
ing to do my duty like every other
faithful son to uphold the honor and
dignity of my country
Officers arriving at Chihuahua city
with the body of Gen. Felix Gomez,
who was killed in the Carrizal engage
ment, said that the American Off

men to concentrate their fire on the
general, who, on account Of his great
bulk, was an easy target. They said
Gen. Gomez was the first Mexicam to
fall, with three bullets in his chest.
Col. Zuazua, at Namiquipa, re
ported that Gen. Pershing has practi-
caIly abandoned his Namiquipa base
and that the Americans have given
the ranchers more than two hundred
rifles that were taken from the vii
| lstas.
Gen Trevino is still treating with
Contreras, Hernandez and other Villa
leaders to come in and "help eXpel
! invaders. -
All towns in northern Mexico have
asked for arms, offering to equip from
800 to 1000 men in each town to hell

TAKING CARE OF FURNITURE
Simple Methods Constantly Employed
VIII Keep u Looking Its Best
for Many Years.

White furniture and wood work cnn
be beautifully cleaned with whiting;
wiring a flannel cloth from hot water,
dip in whiting and rub well TO remove
all stains, then wash off the whiting
with clean, warm water, dry with a
soft cloth the rubbing strokes should
always be with the grain of the wood.
Wicker furniture should be cleaned
with a strong solution of salt and
water. Soap should never be used on
wicker, as 1t produces a yellow tinge;
where very shabby-looklng, wicker may
be refreshed by being painted. The
paint used should be well mixed and
thinned to the proper consistency. If
too thick 1t is apt to remain on the
wicker in Jumps.
Furniture upholstered in leather
cloth will last much longer If the COW
erlng is occasionally revived with the
following mixture: Take n part best
vinegar, two parts of boiled linseed
oil, shake well together. Apply a little
on a soft rag and afterward polish
with a silk buster or an old chamois
leather.
When cleaning upholstered furniture
1t is often either impossible or incon-
venient to move it nj of doors. In
such cases place a wet cloth over the
piece of furniture and then beat it,
changing the cloth several times dur
Ing the process. The dust will adhere
to the cloth and will not rise in the
room.
Try rubbing your furniture which
has grown streaked and dull with a
flannel dipped in equal parts of tur-
pentine and kerosene oil. 1t polishes
quickly and much more clearly than
the expensive polishes.

TEMPTING DISHES

Chop boiled spinach fine and mix
thoroughly with a raw egg. Mold and
put in the oven a minute to reheat.
A spoonful of boiled and grated
fresh corn or n of the canned corn,
If heated and put in the bottom of the
soup plate just before the tomato soup
is poured in, makes a dish decidedly
new and appetizing.
The top Of the round is often cut
up in inch cubes, Drowned slightly
and then stewed in enough water to
cover 1t. This is put in the middle Of
the platter and then surrounded with
boiled noodles to make a tasty dish.
For anyone who likes cooked ban
mas a very good idea is to cut the
fruit very, very fine and then add to
the hot cake batter and cook the same
as the ordinary hot cakes. Grated
corn is also very good if used in the
same n

SIMPLICITY IN CLOTHES is NOW
MUCH IN DEMAND.
And Here Is Where the one-Pieee
Froek Justihes lts Continued Pop
ularlty-May Be Made at
Home at Small Cost.

The woman who searches anxious
ly for clothes that can be slipped into
easily in summer weather, avoiding
the tedious accessories that are de-
manded by the usual method of mid
summer dressing, finds the one-piece
gown a joy, for 1t is built on one lin
ing, and that Of coarse white net
which not only washes but is cool.
She can slip the thing over the Shout
ders, adjust the girdle, and life is sim
plifed. Only the Unfortunately vain
or fastidious woman would imperil her
nervous system by exhausting herself
in the trifles of dress when the Their
mometer is making things unpleasant
In the morning. Life may demand
otherwise for certain hours and occa-
sion, but in the house and before the
afternoon, surely then, If at any time,
woman should be free from the fret of
adjusting a multitude of clothes on
her person.
Another choice of hot weather
frocks which is to be commended as
it shows a normal attitude of mind as
to what fabrics go with what tenn
peratures, Is for two-piece frocks of
wash silk in narrow stripes. Blue,
yellow, green and lavender against
a white background are the selected
colors.
The smart dressmakers are asking
$40 for these costumes, including a
belt of the material elaborated with
pearl buttons, which seem to have
suddenly found favor with those
whom fashion clothes because France
sent over a black satin coat with a
cream lace skirt, the sides outlined
with two o w of these white orna-
ments; but it is not even necessary
for d woman to have an especially
good seamstress to accomplish one
of the "seventy-fives'' at a third the

DRINKS FOR SUMMER DAYS
Delicious Cooling Beverages That Are
at the Command Of Practically
Every Housewife.

Grape Juice is an excellent founda-
ton for a variety Of delicious drinks,
and has the advantage Of being
healthful. 1t Is much more economical
to put up your own grape juice each
year, but If you have not done this a
case of small bottles does not come
high.
Grape Juice and lines make one of
the most deliciously cooling of summer
drinks. Pour into a tall glass three or
four fingers of grape Juice, add the
Juice of two lines and a slice of the
peel I'LL the glass with water to taste
"a sparkling water is preferable-and
serve ice cold.
Grape Juice and lemonade make a
good combination.
A ginger ale and cold tea punch Is q
novel drink hat is very good. Swceten
half a pitcher Of cold tea, add the juice
of n lemon and several sprigs of mint.
Keep on ice and at the last minute pour
in a bottle of ginger ale. This should
not stand before serving, as the ginger
ale will lose its sparkle. A rather
strong and not too sweet ginger ale
should be used for this punch.
Iced cafe au lait is the best drink to
serve if the luncheon Is very light, and
a little extra nourishment is wanted.
To make it properly-and it seldom Is
made properly-it should be carefully
blended, mixing the coffee and milk
well together and sweetening to taste.
1t is better, if possible, to use a sugar
sirup to sweeten it. Stand on the ice
until ready to serve and her add a
little thick cream to each glass and
enough cracked ice to fill the glass. For
the sweeter varieties of soft drinks,
milk shakes and fruit sirups may be
used.
To make a milk shake fill a glass
t~wo-thirds full of milk sweeten 1t to
taste with any fruit strip or with a
little of some strained preserve, If you
have not the strip. Fill the glass with
cracked ice and shake together until
we'll mixed.
Fruit siPups can be made from straw
berries, raspberIes, cherries or cur
rants. Cook a quart of fruit with a
pint of water until well softened, then
strain and press out the juice through
a heavy cloth. When cold, sweeten and
dilute to taste, and serve in tall
glasses filed with cracked ice.
