Around the House

Hominy is one of the best substitutes
for the potato.
The chief food value of the potato Is
its iron and potassium.
Most vegetables are better when
served In their own juices.
The present high cost of living Is an
opportunity to learn not to waste.
Grated cheese on crackers which are
toasted are good luncheon relish.
Pineapples, nuts, celery and marsh
mallows make most delicious salad.
Prunes stewed with slices of lemons
Or oranges make an excellent dessert
1t is best to roast or pan a chicken
with the breast down. 1t will be more
Juicy.
Gas stoves should never be used in a
nursery--they vitiate the air too seri-
ously.
1t Is a well known fact that food
with a savory smell is the most appe-
tising.
Cornmeal mullins made with dates
chopped in small pieces are very
wholesome.
In beading n velvet bag stamp the
design on the wrong side and it will be
easier to see.
Oilcloth is more satisfactory than
shelf paper for covering the pantry
shelves, as it can always be kept clean.
Though the outlay is larger, it Is
cheaper in the end, as It may be washed
when soiled instead Of having to be
replaced.

Simple Methods For the
Control of Clothes Moths

Clothes moths, injurious to woolens
and furs, may be controlled by use Of
simple means, according to George A
Dean, professor Of entomology In the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Repellents will not protect fabrics If
they have become infested. Even to
depend upon such repellents as cam
phor, moth balls or tobacco will prove
more or less unsatisfactory. Castoff
woolens should not be stored in dark
closets or in attics, where they viii
breed insects that feed on animal mat
ter. The floors and corners in closets
should be kept clean.
Articles in daily use, such as car.
pets, rugs and clothing, are not likely
to become seriously infested. Woolen
garments, furs and plumes stored in
dark closets, wardrobes or bureau
drawers suffer most The greatest
damage is done in the summer, when
woolens and furs are not in use and
the moths are most active.
If such garments and materials that
are not to be used are carefully brush
ed, beaten, summed and placed in tight
rasteboard boxes, the joints Of which
are sealed with gummed paper, they
will go through the summer in COM
parative safety. Such articles may
also be protected by inclosing in paper
bags and hanging free Of the floor in a
closet or in the attic. Clothing put
away in closet or a wardrobe should
be brushed and summed before storage
and carefully examined at least once
a month throughout the summer.
Trunks or boxes in which clothing Ia
to be stored for the summer should be
cleaned and treated with gasoline. The
clothing to be packed away in them
should. first be beaten, brushed and
summed. In addition to this, garments
should be fumigated with carbon bi-
sulphide at least once a month from
April to August.

Mothers Doll Story
Mays Pet Lion

There was once upon a time a very
good little girl, who owned a pet rag
doll lion. His name was Leo, and, just
like Mary's lamb, everywhere May
went her Leo was sure to 60.
One day, when they were out playing
near the big road, along came a great
big dog and barked at May.
OF course she was much afraid and
ran like anything to get over the fence.
She could not have been any more
scared If it had been big COW that
came at her.
Leo ran like anything too. And when
May had scrambled over the fence
into the next lot Leo stood on top Of
the fence and waited for the great, big
dog.
Now, real lions are much bigger than
dogs, Of course. But Leo was only a
pet rag doll lion. Still, he bravely
waited. And just as the big dog leap
ed upon the fence to jump after May.
Leo nipped little piece right out Of
his left ear.
"Ki-yi!" yelled the great, big dog. Il
guess will not scare the little girl any
more today, after ALL" So he ran off
home, just as fast as May and Leo did.
