Things Worth knowing.
Make crib sheets of white cotton
flannel. They are cheaper than those
YOU buy. besides being warm and easy
to launder.
To save the scraps. get few hens.
keep them in warm place and feed
them the scraps from the kitchen, OF
which there are bound to be some, es-
pecially where there are children.
Basting children's mittens to the
coat sleeve at the wrist prevents
snow geeting up the sleeve, thereby
keeping the hands and arms warm
while at the same time the mlttens
are always in place and found when
wanted. 1t is impossible for the child
to lose them.
In these days of high prices of table
linen purchase two yards of bleached
sheeting. two yards wide. which makes
a square to cover the average dining
table. Bind on right side with blue
bias binding tape and have a very
pretty as well as inexpensive lunch
cloth for everyday use.
For an Invalid-If soup or beef tea
is to be cooled at once, pour it through
muslin cloth which has been sat
urated in cold water. Not a particle
of fat will be left in the beef tea.

blespoon sugar and one teaspoon any

cocoa to it makes chocolate pud-
ding.
