lege. Less than per cent OF the
income of the state is spent for higher
education.
After a visit through eastern states
few years ago, and comparison OF
the rural communities with those OF
Washington, the writer has come to
the conclusion that Washington and
the northwest is ii advance of tho
eastern and the central states when ii
comes to a regard for education.
In Washington it IS nc, unusual to
find a high school in small place OF
perhaps a few hundred inhabitants.
You will go long way in the east
before you find high schools in such
small places. Perhaps they do not
need them; but this is only typical OF
the attitude you will find in the coun
try toward education. In the north
west it is priced and sought and cher
ished. 1t is valued. But once in a
while you will find man who does
not regard it very highly, who thinks
it costs too much"

How to Build a Coal Fire Without Re.

ROW to Build Coal FIRE without he.
sorting to Strong Language.
Before starting to build fire free
the CRATE from ashes. To do this pu'
on covers. close the front and back
hampers and open the oven damper
Turn the crate, and ashes will fall into
the ash receiver. If these rules are not
followed ashes will fly over the room
Turn the crate back into place. remove
the covers over firebox and cover the
CRATE with pieces Of paper twisted in
the center and left loose at the ends.
Cover the paper with small sticks or
pieces of pine wood, being sure that
the wood reaches the end Of the fire
box and so arranged that it will admit
air. Over pine wood arrange hard
wood: then sprinkle with two shovels
Of coal. Put on cover. open all closed
hampers. strike a match and apply I'M
der the crate and you have a fire.
When it gets to burning well put on
sprinkle of coal. After the gas has
burned out close up most all Of the
hampers, leaving a little opening on
the slide of door where you remove
ashes. and that makes a draft to keep
the fire burning. If you shut it all uE
your fire would 60 out. Never allow
the firebox to be more than three
fourths filed. When full it checks the
draft 4 large amount Of fuel is con-
sumed and much heat is lost Coal
when red hot has lost most of its heat.
Some refuse to believe this and insist
upon keeping hampers open until most
Of the heat has escaped into the CHM

How to Keep ChiIdren's Carriers From
Tearing Stocking Tops.

Even with a very good quality Of
garters the knob shaped catch to which
the stocking is attached is liable to
break. When this happens sew on In
its place white shoe button, being
careful to use the largest procurable
size. and you will be surprised to find
it wholly satisfactory.
TO save the top Of stocking from
being worn out by the supporter fas-
.tening attach a small brass ring to a
piece Of tape and sew the tape to the
stocking. Clasp the supporters through
the rings, using rings that will allow
them to slip through.
If one happens to be without the
regulation chamois protectors for gar
ters. put bit Of tissue paper over the
fastening. 1t will prevent the threads
Of the stocking from running down.

most celebrated that was ever held
in this country, and the memento is
no little attention. The
relic is an earthenware tea pot sent

Revolution, which she is filling with
coins to buy wool for the soldier boys
and their sweaters. The party, of
