be smooth non-scratch powders for the
bathtubs, wash basins and silver There
should be a strong alkali, like washing
soda, which will cut grease and clean dirt
OF a greasy nature.
A good soap is necessary, and the
housewife should think twice before she
purchases cheap soaps. A good soap is
free from strong alkali and does not
shrlvel and dry the hands. a soap that
does that is too strong for all work, ex-
cept so-called rough scrubbing A good
soap is also free from unpleasant odors
and from any feeling of sickness. OF
course, scented soaps would not be used
or bought for cleaning. A sickness in
soap may mean large quantity of rosin,
and this is not desirable, Remember it
is not always the cheaper thing that is
the most economical in the end.
Whiting is not only cleanser for sill

Dilute acid as the liquid in place of
either of the others makes the whiting
brass and copper cleaner Oxalic may be
the acid used with whiting for such
things as andirons, brass tenders and lar
diners, but because it is poison either

OF give special attention to the washing
OF the kettle afterward so as to assure
the removal of every trace of acid. Vine
gar will act in the place of oxalic acid in
slower manner.
Whiting, with little clear water, will
clean windows and mirrors, giving very
good polish. To reduce the labor the
glass should be polished before the room

J dust. A cloth wrung out of hot water

All OF this IS only an Illustration of
how much more satisfactory it is to have
few dependable, standard supplies
rather than so many which are not used
often enough to prevent their deteriorat-
ing and wasting.

Cleaning Cloths

Choose the proper cloths for cleaning
purposes. The first thing is to have the
cloth clean and the next is to have the
right kind of a cloth for the work Dish
cloths and floor cloths should always be
OF soft, spongy texture, so that they
may hold considerable water They
must carry water to the article that is
to be cleaned, and must also carry wa
ter away. If the cloth is to be used for
drying, as in the case of dish towels and
glass towels, it should be absorbent and
non-linting. In the case of bath towels
a rough weave like huck is better than
a smooth weave like damask.
An old gauze or flannel garment, if
clean, will make good floor cloth,
whereas old pieces of cotton or linen are
not at all good for floor cloths, but will
wipe windows or mirrors better than the
flannel. If the housewife would be care
full to fit the tool to the task, so much
work would be saved.

War Stamps as Gifts

Recently at a piano recital, several lit
tie girls after playing their pieces were
presented by fond parents with lovely
hothouse rosebuds tied with enormous
bows of dainty colored tulle But what
a handclapping burst forth when baby
toddled up to the stage and handed her
elght-year-old sister a card of Thrift
Stamps.
ooh, goody, It's Thrift stamps."
laughed the delighted recipient.
And the other little girls eyed their
costly bouquets with very evident dis
gust.
When the children are invited to a
birthday party, instead of the box of
candy, book or toy that they usually take,
send Thrift Stamps. Start card for
the new baby of your friend Have a
thrift shower for the bride, each friend
giving card with as many stamps on it
as she can afford.

Sunlight Is Cheap

Last Christmas we gave up electric
lights, and, although the lighting COM
pany refused TO turn off the current and
we could always have the light at the

how easy it is to give up all lights.
We generally find natures day long

the first month we felt no Inconvenience

In THE making of most household

plain meat are household bywords.
Every patriotic housewife who is try
ing to save food for Hoover with one
hand and money for the fourth Liberty
Loan with the other must contribute
thought and painstaking effort to the
daily menu making. 1t cannot be denied
that it takes longer to make mock sweet
breads or Norfolk oysters than to fry
piece of meat or fish. The great saving
in cost, the additional food value and the
appetizing qualities of the dish are worth
taking trouble for. We can only save
money and food at the expense of trou-
bic and time.
Treat the family occasionally to
hearty fish or clam chowder (as served
on Friday, and follow it with a good
salad and hearty dessert. 1t will taste
mighty good on a cool day and pint of
clans, at 80 cents, will serve four per-
sons generously when made into chow

with the potatoes and milk and the hap
piest results are promised
The English baked cheese served for
Wednesdays luncheon is another good IL
lustration of an "all-round economy

not make use of them instead of paving

10 clean radiators spread paper

Mock Sausage
This is an excellent and inexpensive
breakfast relish. Pick over half cupful
of dried lima beans (the fresh variety NAV

The good tool for cleaning is not nee

cost very little, and in some cases the
cost is nothing Often the housewife
makes use of materials at hand and OBJ
tains equally good results One of these,
for example, may be such an everyday
article as the newspaper which in
dozens of ways takes the place of spe-
cial cleaning tools.

In cleaning brushes are great help,

therefore, should have care. TO clean

to dry in such way that the water
runs down the bristles away from the

Scrub brushes should be stiff for all
work except for cleaning the bathtub,
and that brush should be of soft fibre.
Brooms are best when quite free from
seed, and when they are cared for by
hanging so as to keep the bristles
straight. If the broom is turned as used
its life will be much heightened.

TESTED RECIPES
Mutton Custard

Chop the remnants of the braised
breast Of mutton. There should be one
cupful. Season with half teaspoonful
of salt, one-eighth of teaspoonful each
drops of lemon juice. Put into a but
tered dish and add one and a half cups
full of milk mixed with two lightly beaten
eggs. Set the dish>in pan of hot water
and bake in a moderate oven until firm.
Norfolk Oysters
Cover the bottom of baking dish
with threequarters Of a cupful of
cooked rice, add layer of drained oys-
ters and then half cupful of seasoned
white sauce. Dot over with bits of but
ter and add three more layers of rice,
oysters and sauce, making six in all. Use
one pint of oysters. Top with bits of
butter and crushed dried bread crumbs
and bake for twenty minutes.
Mock Sweetbreads

veal, add two ounces of salt pork finely

ented materials are sold for this dustless
sweeping, but the moistened paper does
equally we'll, often better because it is
cheap and will do carpets and rugs,
whereas the patented cleaners are best
suited for linoleums or for hardwood
floors.
Windows and mirrors may be cleaned
by using paper. For this work one pre-
fers to have scraps Of soft paper with
out print because the printers, ink some
times causes a greasy film. In the same
way wads of soft paper rolled into balls
hot more than three or four are nee
essary-used with soap powder and a
little water, will perfectly clean bottles
or carafes. These wads of paper do the
work just as we'll or even better than the
brushes sold expressly for the purpose,
though they may be less "handy" to use.
The kitchen table may be protected
and that constant scrubbing of the table
eliminated by covering the table with

one needs to do is to Cup the paper
and the cleaning is over. This is espe-
clally helpful in preparing vegetables
and during the mixing or preparation of
food. In the summer time, when the
cookstove is set aside for a gas or blue
flame stove, several thicknesses of news
paper on the top of the coal stove not
only saves the stove, but converts the
top into table

Liberty Loan Menus

Rightly made, these are one Of the best
meat substitutes, and if a more highly
spiced Sausage" is desired, additional
ground condiments can be added to suit
the individual taste.
If you have storage facilities it will
he cheaper to buy both potatoes and APP
piles in large quantities. Lay the latter
out if possible, so that they will not
touch each other and grade carefully, re-
serving the larger ones for baking and
the smaller and less perfect specimens
for other purposes.
AS in the previous Liberty Loan
menus" the butchers bill has been kept
down to about the 81 limit for the week
this includes the 50cent can of boned
chicken, although it is really purchased
at the grocery shop.
The butchers bill includes one pound
of lean stewing veal for 25 cents; two
ounces of salt pork, 6 cents for the
sweetbreads; one pound of beef or lambs
liver for 20 cents; a slice of salt pork
for the clam chowder at a cents, and the
can of chicken at so cents.
AT the fish market, one pint of oysters
at 80 cents, one pound and a half of pan
fish at Is cents pound, and one pint Of
CLAIMS at 80 cents
One pound of table butter at 58 cents,
half a pound of oleo at Is cents. seven
