Keeping House in Kitchenette

One of the difficulties of using
canned goods in cooking for one or
two is that only part of a can can
be eaten at a time. and we do not
always know just what TO do with
the rest, observes Anna Merritt Cast,
in her book, "Kitchenette Cook
cry" Because l found this trying.
I began 70 play tricks on my canned
goods and reduced some Of my old
time standard recipes TO fit my
smaller pans. In this way, 1 learned
a variety of ways for using each can,
so that there is neither waste nor q
needless repetition of dishes With
the necessarily small refrigerator
Of a kitchenette. it is likewise i'm
possible TO keep a lot Of leftovers, so
by using these recipes, I avoid them.

Bulbs to Force for Winter Flowers

The easiest way 20 have an album
11-ce Of flowers for the winter WIN
garden as TO force bulbs OF va
- kinds. Dubious plants can be
enjoyed in a city apartment as well
as in a country home. If there is no
special window for a winter garden,
the potted bulbs may be scattered
bout the house.
They require less care than most
house plants, and are more certain
70 bloom. If a few simple directions
are followed BY starting the bulbs
into growth az different times, and
by using several kinds, 10, Is easy 10
have a continuous succession Of
flowers from Thanksgiving until the
coming of spring, when the outside
world again bursts into bloom
All 90 often the fact is overlooked
that some of the best bulbs must be
potted early. as they need a long
season Of growth. This is particu-
larly true Of the freesias. which are
among the sweetest and most de-
sirable bulbs for house cultivation.
The oxalis is another bulb which
needs prompt potting. II It is to
bloom fairly early. Gala lilies have
lost some OF their popularity IN re-
cent years. but probably will be
grown more freely this season. be-
cause no Easter lily bulbs can be
brought from the Orient PLANTING
of Gala lily bulbs should not be de-

| best results are obtained when the

winter comes on. One exception is

Fifty years ago the past week man was drowned in the river near Palmer town while under the influence of liquor. The common council appro- priated one hundred and fifty dollars to build seats in the cemeteries. Sew eral of the Sunday schools held their picnics, the Greeneville people making an all day, trip to Middletown. There were a couple of accidents but no fatal ones save drowning. One of the chief events Schronic1ed was the start of the foundation of the Richards Building. Another event of interest was the changing of the method of fining users for overdue books at the Otis Library. Extracts from The Bulletin files of '6S follow:
 July 27:-A child of John Gilman who resides on the West Side fell out of bed Saturday morning and broke his collar bone.
 Locklin Kelly, an intelligent Irish man in the employ of. E. H. Palmer of Palmertown was drowned in the river Thames on July 24.

Sergt. F. H. Keeley of this city who is in Battery E. Fifty sixth artillery. in France, has written the following letter to his father:
 Cournon, France, June 22, 1918. Dear Father:-
 I received your two letters today and was very glad to hear from you. 1 It is the first mail I have received for some time. I am very glad to hear that you are all well at home. I am feeling fairly good at present. The rheumatism is bothering me, but I ex- pect to get cured of it soon. Did you receive my letter telling you that I was in the hospital with rheumatism That was some time ago. 1 have been out three weeks now, but you know how it hangs on once. you get it. 1 was surprised to hear that Charlie had enlisted in the navy, but I think that he will get along all right Send me his address so ] can write to him. Tell mother not to worry about us, as we will be all right The weather is fine and we Write often. as you don't know how much better I felt when I heard from home I haven't received any papers 1 yet, but some of the fellows have so
 I borrow them. Tell me how you are | all getting along when you write again As you know, some ships are l lost at sea. so some of your letters may not reach here, so don't depend on one | letter.
 1 We had a fine trip over and I will 1 tell you about it when I get home. l We'll a few words about this coun- | try. We are near a range of noun
 tains, the first real mountains I have
 ever seen; and 1t makes a beautiful sight when the sun shines on their snow clad tops. At night it gets quite i cool but the days are fine. The hill sides are covered with vineyards as far as one can see, and altogether it
 makes a very pretty scene. The
 houses are constructed of stone and the streets are very narrow and GUS toms are different from those at home
 In regard to sending packages as
 near as I can find out you can't mai
 any at the present time. Things here
 are very high and it is hard to make
 the storekeepers understand, but I am
 learning French fast.
 The '. NJ c. A. and the Red Cross
 are always looking out for our welfare
 and I don't know what we would dc
 without them.
 When l was in the hospital the
 nurses took fine care of me and
 can't praise them enough Tell the Red Cross a home how much we thinI of them and thank them for that sweater set they gave me, which vii
 come in very handy this winter. Love to all.
