Dear Social Corner Sisters: In the early springtime. when the system IS in dire need of something to tone 1t up. Nature brings out her tonic. the golden dandelion, the leaves or Wnicn make a most healthful and aSreeapIe salad, and the roots. when used In the form of an extract, a most exceifent and invigorating tonic.
 No better stimulant can be round for a torpid or congested liver than this extract of dandelion roots. which is made as follows: Bruise the fresh roots-much of their virtue Is lost py drying-then boil slowly until the strength is obtained, after which strain and evaporate by slow heat down 70 a thick, soft extract. The dose IS from five to twenty grains once or twice a day.
 The dandelion is also dieredc in it's action. and is a simple but effec- tive medicine in all kidney complaints. It is asserted by botanical pnysi- clans that in dropsical affections there is nothing better than a decoction or dandelioa roots taken in quantities or from one-half to one pint per day.

THE HIGHEST PRACTICAL IDEA

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It Is a question as to upon what basic prin ciples the practical ideas called for in these letters are to be founded, that which relates to the artistic. or that which deals with the material.
 The highest practical idea simply expressed is that attitude of mind or mental balance or status which up lifts and idealizes the homeliest task of life: that quality of mind which gives to the common laborer a dig nifty which the idler can never attain, and that which cuftivates a respect and reverence toward all.
 A spirit who lives beyond and above the surface of life. at peace with itself and with the world; who dwells in an atmosphere where there are no dis cordant notes. whose outlook on life is ever uncomp1aining and hopeful, and. above alt, who dwells not upon the misfortunes of those whom through weakness, ignorance, neglect or en- vironment may have been led or wan dered into ulterior ways. not looking toward a material nor a visionary re- ward. but for the common welfare of humanity, always remembering that the results of life depend considerably upon heredity and environment.
 This is the highest practical idea df life.

To START EARLY PLANTS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Now is the time to start slipping plants for next summer. A method which I f1nd very good is this: Cut of a slip from geranium, verbana heliotrope, carnation, or even a rose, taking care that the slip is a young or green shoot, and put them in a saucer; fill with wet sand; keep the sand wet and soon the slip will have little roots.
 The slips should be out slant1ng be- tween or below joints, and the saucer should be placed in sunny window. Nearly all kinds of plants can be rooted this way.
 The slips will begin to show little roots from two to three weeks after they are put in the saucer; then they should be potted in thumb pots about two inches deep and be sprfraxled ev- cry other day until they begin to put little white roots to the edge of the pots, which may be seen by giving the pot gentle tap on the table and turning out the contents just Ike jelly from a glass.
 After the soil gets filled with roots, which will be in four or i've weeks from the time the slips were potted, transplant them to pots three or four inches deep. Slips rooted in February or March will be blooming plants by mid-season.
 MERRY ANDREW.

AN IMPENDING DANGER.

Dear Social Corner Friends: The editor has asked us to tell of anything which we think will improve The Cor ner.
 Now something occurs to me which I should like to say, more as cau- tion for the future than as a crftf- cfsm of the present. I enjoy The Cor ner, and read all the letters. But have seen several papers which had department like The Corner for years, and it was interesting to all readers, not merely those who tSok part in it. It was an asset to the pa- per, but after awhile the tone of the letters changed. Some of the writers made personal a1lusions which no one but the two concerned could under stand, and the incidents referred to had no general interest. Nothing of the personality of the writers appear ed. They seemed to try to write nott- ing Interesting Very naturally, the department was soon dropped.
 I should be sorry to have this hap pen to The Corner. Let us try to write in such a way that The Corner will interest all. and be an asset to

THINGS WHICH MIGHT BE DONE

Dear Social Corner Editor: The family is now such a large one and go well organized into several clubs that it would seem easily possible to turn the assembling of its members to- gethef to good account.
 For instance, by individually taxing themselves at each meetfng-much less than a contribution of food would amount to-help by either work or money could be given to such deserv- ing organizations, as The County Home, The Rock Nook Home, The Sheltertng Arms. The City Mission, The Y. M. c. A. or any worthy object in which the good sisters and broth CTS, too. may feel most interest.
 A timely help at present would be the Red Cross.
 How fine 1t would be to work for let us say-a years free bed at Baclxus Hospital!
 With thanks and appreciation for many hints and helps secured from The Corner, and best wishes for It's continuance and progress.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: How many know that three heaping Ata- blespoons Of macaroni baked with cheese contains as many food units as one-haJf pound of lean roast beef? Three heaping tablespoons of bak- ed beans contain the same number of food units ns two and ene-haIf ounc- es of roast lamb.
 One-half pint of split Dea soup contains more food units than six ounces Of hamburg steak.
 One pint of bean soup contains more food units than a quarter of a pound of roast chicken.
 A quarter of a pound of boiled cond- fish contains twice as much protein as the same amount of beef stew and more than three ounces of boiled ham or four ounces of chicken fricassee.
 Two heaping tablespoons of boiled rice contains as many units as two and one-half boiled eggs.
 Cabbage. which is particularly high in price at present. contains very little nourishment- It requires a whole ca.bba ee to provide the same number of food units as one slice of white wheat bread
 A cup of cocoa contains thirty-six times as many heat units and fifteen times as much protain as three heap in~ tablespoons of boiled cabbage.
 Three heaping tablespoons of gran ulated sugar contain as many food units as two lamb chops from which the fat has been eliminated.
 Two cubic inches of American cheese contains more rourfshment than a quarter of a pound of beef stew.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: use old shirt waists as corset covers and old dresses often will make a waist or girls dress.
 The bottoms of old wool shirts make good petticoats for small children.
 I sometimes wear out the skirt to a suit while the coat is quite good. An afternoons work will transform a plain coat into a very good coat for a little girl. I rip off the collar, sleeves and shoulder seams, then tried on and took up the shoulder seams. cut off the sleeves at the top, gewed them in and made over the collar. I cut off the two buttons in back and sewed them on in front above those already there. and worked buttonholes for them. Fortunately they were the same size as those in front. After pressing 1t was ready to wear.

Dear Sisters of The Social Corner: Although many of you, are strangers to me, yet you seem dear, for the word Sister. signifies love and helyfulness toward each other; and I think the letters to. The Corner can be very helpful if we put out best thoughts in- to them
 Our social gatherings should have some definite purpose in their meet ings. We could devote some of the time to sewing for the poor; or some instructive book, or paper could be read which would be a literary help to the busy ones. who do not have much time to read Let us try to make the corner worth while.

USEFUL LAUNDRY HINTS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: This Monday morning I will indulge in a little laundry chat.
 To take ink out of linens, dip the spots in hot ta1low, wash out tallow, and the ink will disappear
 Put a little salt in the rinsing water and the clothes will not freeze while you are hanging them out
 Iron all colored goods on wrong side. unless they had a glossy finish when new.
 When making starch. see that 1t is well boiled, and add little salt or borax, and the iron will not stick. Ink spilled on the carpet may be taken up without leaving stain if dry salt Becomes discolored brush it soff and apply more.
 Hang the clothes on the line neatly and fold carefully, and the labor of ironing is reduced more than half.

 1t scarcely seems possible that seven years have passed since we awaited so eagerly the opening Of the Social Corner Many have come and gone since then, and I fear a roll-can this morning would reveal the fact that many have passed to the Great Be- yond.
 We miss them greatly; yet their passing but emphasizes the fact that we too must strive to do our best flor we shall not pass again this way Those friends who have helped so much to make The Corner a success deserve special cornmendation.
