Filter Peanut Oil at Home.

Unrefined peanut oil can be pre-
pared for household use by filtering
through ordinary filter paper obtain
able at drug stores. A Georgia
woman. the wife of an oil miller, had
been paying her grocer nearly 81 a
gallon for cooking oil while her hus-
band sold his unrefined oil TO a re-
finery for about $l.20 a gallon. She
sent a small sample of the oil from
her husbands mill to the bureau of
chemistry of the United States depart
ment of agriculture with the request
that, if possible, she be told of a meth
cd by which it could be made suitable
for household use. The filter paper
method was suggested. In a letter
which came to the department later
the success of the method was de
scribed as Surprising my best ex-
pectations."

A homemade sponge box or bread
raiser will help make the bread BET
ter. 1t enables the housekeeper TO
keep her sponge or dough at the right

therefore, takes much of the uncer-
tainty out of bread-baking. 1t can be
made from an ordinary dry goods
packing box.
Placing the Shelves.
A box 26 by 20 by 20 inches is a
convenient size. About 10 inches from
the bottom of the box shelf made of
Stats or strips of wood rests on cleats
fastened 10 the sides of the box. A
second shelf is placed four inches
above the lower one The shelves can
be removed when cleaning the box.
Below the lower shelf sheet of gal
yanized iron slightly wider than the
shelf is inserted. II is curved in or
der to make ii slip in and stay in place
securely. This prevents scorching of
the lower shelf when lamp is placed
below, and also helps to distribute the
heat more evenly. The door is hinged
and fastened with a thumb-latch or
hook and staple.
Several small holes are bored in the
lower and upper parts of the sides and
in the top Of the box to promote cir
culation of air. A cork which has
been bored through the center to adj
NIT straight thermometer is inserted
in one of the holes in the top of the

ter may be ordered through hard
ware dealer or directly from an instru-
ment dealer
Make Safe From Fire.
To avoid all danger of fire, the box
should be lined with asbestos or tin
when a kerosene lamp is used for
heating the box. If an electric light
is used the lining is not necessary A
16-candlepower light will heat the box
nicely. A small and inexpensive night
lamp is placed in the bottom of the
box and a shallow pan of water is
placed on the lower shelf so that the
air in the box will be kept moist.
