READY RENovAToR.


 If a bathtub become clipped, as sometimes happens. the rough place will soon become unsightly. Get a tube of artists oil paint flake white, ond apply with the finger to the damaged spot. It makes smooth filling can scarcely be detected and will harden in time like enamel. Hot or cold wat CT can be used in the tub immediately, as nothing meIts or affects this paint. Window shades which have worn shab- by from having frost melt and run down the panes can be quickly made to look like new by applying a thin coat of this paint. It will wear long .e CT than the other paint. White enamel is inclined to chip off woodwork or furniture and it can be easily touched up in the same way. There is no smell and almost no trouble, and one tube costing a few cents, will do an astonishing amount of work.

FINISHING HINTS.

Have you experienced difficult in putting q crochet edge on heavy linen or other material when making d luncheon set or similar piece of work? There are several ways of making this an easy finish. Che is to machine stitch around with coarse needle and no thread. This leaves large holes through which the crochet hook may easily be inserted. Another way is to machine stitch close to the edge and catch the crochet hook through the stitches. Still another method is to buttonhola with. shallow stitches and catch the crocheting to the but tonholing. The last and probably the best way on a straight edge is to pull two threads about three or four threads in from the edge. This leaves an open space through which the hook will easily pass.
 A seam finishing hint has to do with buttonholing. On the open seams of bulky materials. which cannot be treat ket stitching makes an excellent fin-
 ish. There is just enough protection in this stitch to keep the material ed to feliing of French seams, blan- from raveling and not too much bulk l It is quickly done and is a neat and
 pretty finish as well.

INEXPENSIVE SALAD.

Nutritious salad makes good dish for a home luncheon. As they are rich in protein, cheese salads take the place of cold dishes. The following is an inexpensive, nutritious cottage cheese salad:
 Mix thoroughly one pound of cheese. one and one-half tablespoonfuls of cream, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, and salt to taste. First, fill a rectangular tin mold with cold water to chill and wet the surface. After removing the water line the bottom of the mold with waxed paper; then pack the cheese in three layers, putting two or three parallel strips of pimento lettuce leaf or chopped nuts between layers. Cover with waxed paper and set in cool place until ready to serve: then run knife round the sides and invert the mold. Cut in sIites and serve on lettuce leaves with FtHtls

SHOULD BE MODIFIED.

From all sections of the country there have come to Washington pro- tests against the withholding of the addresses of those who are included in the daily casualty list. These pro- tests have not only shown the atti- tude of the country but they have been the cause of efforts being made to have the order changed, with the in- timation that some modification may result.
 The sending out of list of names, which may. because of the fact that there are many of the same name in the army and navy, result in a need less lot of confusion and anxiety even though the families of those actually killed or injured are notified as in the past, has been resorted to it is all legged because of the attitude of Gen. eral Pershing.

ROUTE THE KITCHEN

The woman who ''routes' her kitch- en work has a table near the door of entrance to the kitchen where all kitchen supplies are deposited. A drawer in this table holds string and unsettled pieces of wrapping paper; un- der the table is receptacle for waste paper. The icebox, kitchen cabinet and pantry are all on this side of the room. so all her supplies are put inn mediately in their logical places with out any doubling of steps. Sink, work table and range are on the other side -the working quarter of the room.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Answer of a Good Conscience.

MT. Editor: Tn The Bulletin of March IA I saw my name as an evader of the draft and wish here to state that 1 am a member of the religious sect known as the Rogerene Quakers, established over two hundred years ago, of which church I became mem- Der by the ordinance of baptism and the right hand of fellowship in the year of our Lord 1910.
 And in obedience to the laws of said church cannot participate in war ill any form whatsoever nor can be numbered with those that do such things as it is written in the Bible to have clean hands and pure heart. Consequently when ordered to go to the Norwich exemption board for phy- sical examination for military service could not be examined for military service which could not in conscienee and obedience perform or have an1 thing to do with. such being bal'zsi by said Quaker church.

MAKING THE ARMY EFFICIENT.


 It may seem surprising that so many high officials in the army are being disqualified for the positions which they have been holding and are denoted and assigned to other work, but it cannot help but be realized that the proper steps are being taken to find out the physically unfit before they are sent abroad and called upon to take up the strenuous work of direct ing the activities of the forces in France.
 It is perfectly apparent that it is as necessary that we should have healthy officers at the head of the commands as it is that the men should be fit for the service, We have adopted the se- leetiYe draft for the purpose Of get ting men who are physically sound and therefore the best able to stand the hard work of army life, but it would be folly to send across a lot of able bodied troops to be commanded by men who are not up to the physical standard.
 The United States insists upon an efficient array, That, it must be re- alized, will be seriously impeded un- less the officers have the bodily strength to do their part. And if there are those who are likely to be . handi- cap it is none too soon to find it out and to have their places flied by those who are fit. This reflects no discredit ! upon those who have been disqualified { It will still be possible for them tc | 11a lszaSn nia i,, ffaic country but it would be a poor pol I icy to send generals to France who would not be able to do themselves or their country justice. The weed ing out is being done at the prope; time and on the right side of the At lantie.

POLISH WAX FLOOR.

Many people like wax finish for their floors or furniture. but do not know how to keep it fresh and polish ed. Almost all wax that is used on the floor has turpentine base. If you will put some turpentine on a soft rag or your floor mop and rub it over the floor. the turpentine will soften up the wax and make it look as fresh as when the floor or furni- ture was first waxed. A good rub with woolen cloth which is quite dry will complete the job.

The newest breakfast dellies are ex- teremely practical, either in the square or circular shape. as they are large enough to hold the service for one person. Where four are to be seated. four squares large enough to meet at the corner are used. At a table for six the squares are somewhat smaller. Round centrepieces are used with the square doilies which are large enough to accommodate the service plate, sil- yer cup and saucer, tumbler and bread and butter plates, as well a sthe pep per and salt shakers.

USE HOOKS.

There are actually women otherwise fastidious who fasten collars with plain pinsi If you use any pins at all they should be small, simple clasp pins of the kind usually known as baby pins But pins tear the fabric of the collar and are not easy to adjust. For that reason it is far better.to fit your collars out with a goodly arrangement of small hooks and invisible eyes or with small loops and the small pearl but tons that come especially for that pur- pose and that are almost always found on French hlouses at the collar and cuff closing

COOKING ECONOMY.

Use shin beef for pies instead of steak. It is much cheaper and just as nice.
 Steam your bacon instead of boiling it and you will be surprised how little it wastes.
 Don't use butter when making a bread and butter pudding Use drip ping. It is really just as good
 When making a cake by adding a spoonful of vinegar with a level tea spoonful of soda dissolved in it, in- stead of eggs, you will find it delici- ous.
 : When stswing fruit add a pinch of soda, It takes out the acidity and less sugar is needed
 Always dampen small coal before putting on fire; it cakes into a hard lump and gives out 8 splendid heat.

JOINED FORCES.

A woman who had not given a quan- tity of square dollies three and four inches square, put them to good ser vice by Joining them together with lace and using them on her buffet;
