Points to Remember if You Are an
Expert Housekeeper.

Points to Remember if You Are an
Expert H~ousekeeper.
If you keep a kitchen fle-and every
efficient housewife should-just clip
the following hints and add them where
you can put your hands on them
quickly:
When you are digging in the garden
you will be discouraged to find how the
dirt clings under your nails. Try rub
bling soap under the nails before you
go out into the garden to work. 1t will
form a fine protection against dirt and
will not be hard to remove when the
digging is done.
Don't make the mistake of using your
table or bed linen in rotation, one after
the other. Use a few changes until they
are worn out, then take the next best
and add new ones to your store. In this
way you will not be embarrassed by
finding everything in holes at n
The same thing refers to underclothes.
Have you found that your clothes
baskets veal out quickly? Make feet
for them by splitting clothes pins as far
as the knob and pushing them up
through each corner of the bottom of
the basket. They will act as feet to lift
the basket from the ground and saw
wear and tear.
Dampen clothes with a whisk broom.
1t is far better than the hand and easier
too.
Never pour grease down a drain. If
you have no sink strainer to catch the
grease try laying a piece of paper over
the drain before pouring out greasy
water. The paper will catch the grease
and can be burned in the stove.

Mad Anthony Wayne.

The nickname of Mad Anthony at.
tached to the name Of General Wayne
of Revolutionary fame was due to no
trace of insanity. but instead TO the
mans wild. reckless courage i'll plung-
ing into battle where the odds against
him seemed hopeless. He had other
nicknames too. Dandy Wayne was
one of them. because of his absurd love
for wearing fine clothes in the wilder
ness and in battle. The Indians gave
him the nickname of Black Snake from
the swiftness and deadliness of his
attack. At the outbreak of the Revo-
%lutionary war Sir Henry Clinton said
of Wayne: wherever Mad Anthony
Wayne is there's always a fight. That
is what he is there for"

The Word "Cannibalism."

The word 'cannibalism' is really the
name of a people. 1t is identical with
Carib, many of the Caribs. who for
merly 1ourished in the West indies,
having been consumers of human
flesh. The letters a. IN" and II" are
interchangeable in certain aboriginal
American languages, sc that Columbus
found one West Indian island saying
Gambia" where another said "Carib,"
while S~hakespeare's Caliban is another
variety of the name. Columbus own
conjecture was that the name was con-
nected with the great khan, and later
philologists of the old slapdash type
associated 1t with 'canis.'' a dog. APP
~parently, however. the meaning of Ca
rib" was brave and daring.

About Naqqers.

Perhaps more men fail in business
through the attitude of their wives in
their younger days than from other
causes. A nagging wife, or n who is
not in sympathy with a mans work,
who expects impossible things of him
and is incapable of taking a general
intelligent interest in his work, is one
of the worst handicaps he could have.
If a man works with his mind clogged
by domestic troubles he is of nc use to
himself, his employer or the world at
large.
A wife ordinarily should not try to
tell a man how to conduct his business,
but she should be interested in it, and
it will pay him to keep her informed
about it.

LOST JOYS.


A great deal of life is lost in
getting rsady, as is commonly
believed. to live. To scorn de-
lights and shun joys and live
dreary, weary, Iaborious days;
to bind oneself to an unceasing
and unchangine routine for the
sake of amassing money that
some time, IN a dim and alb
straot future, one may begin to
live, is simply to attempt the
task of building a superstructure
without a foundation. - Lillian
Whiting.

Old Blanket Utilized,

An excellent way to utilize an old
blanket that is nearly worn out is to
cover it with silkoline and tuft it like a
comforter. 1t can be covered with
c~heesecloth if desired, under which cir
cumstance it can be washed very easily.
Covered in a tint to harmonic with the
color scheme of a bedroom, this easily
made coyerlet is especially good.

Food Economy.

CARS Modified TO TAKE CARE OF
WOMEN IN CASE OF INVASION.
Fair Sex of Boston Will Train for Service
in Automobile Squad.


To take care of women and children
first in the event of an invasion, Cover
nor Mccall of Massachusetts has been
offered the use of 1000 light automo-
biles and the services of large corps of
trained women drivers. The formation
of this auxiliary brigade was undertaken
by prominent motorist at the sugges-
ton of women drivers and is the direct
outcome of the motor car mobilization
in the East last spring and summer DUR
ing the Preparedness Campaign.
AS soon as rupture with Germany
became certainty, offers of cars and
drivers began coming in to c. S. Hen
shaw, Dodge Brothers dealer in Boston,
and owing to the number of women
drivers who volunteered, it was decided
after conference with the authorities
that the most useful service 10 which
reserve corps might be turned would be
the removal of women and children from
any threatened area, practically every
other branch of activity having been
covered in plans already made.
1t is the purpose of this reserve corps
to work in connection with the women's
organizations now preparing for active
service and it is expected that in the
course of the next few days several hun
dred more women will be enrolled.
Some of these women are already ex-
pert enough to act as emergency mech
anicians with the women's division, thus
releasing for actual military service
number of men drivers who would other
wise be unavailable.
Although only LOO Dodge Brothers
cars were offered to the Governor, Mr.
Henshaw states that from information
already at hand he would be able to sup
ply two or three times that number of
cars and drivers if called upon. Mr..
Henshaw was the leading spirit in the
previous motor car notifications.
