SUGGESTIONS FOR

THE HOUSEWIFE E
 Use for refrigerator dishes wooden or pasteboard plates such as bakers deliver pie upon. They are inexpen- sive, do not break, and can be bent a little to make more room.
 In mixing four for gravy use a sil- yer fork and the gravy will never be lumpy.
 Keep your spices In glass jars and a glance will tell you the contents even if not labeled.
 Black and white cotton goods should be soaked in a solution of salt water to prevent the black from running.
 Thin, brown. toast bread, with stewed tomatoes and sprinkled with grated cheese. then brewned in the oven. is a savory dish. Cornmeal may be used with wheat flour. about ne-quarter of the first and three quarters of the second, in making white bread Fish will cr:sp and brown if it is ! thoroughly dried on both sides. then dipped in fine .cornmeal and plunged into boiling fat
 A frying basktt should be warmed ] in the oven before being put into hot I fat. It will thus not reduce the tenn perature of the fat. Before using mutton dripping as l shortening, beat with spoonful of ] baking powder and two teaspoenfuls 1 of lemon juice.
 l If cake sticks to the pan let stand l on a wet cloth.
 In cutting fresh bread heat the knife to prevent the bread from 1 crumbling
 To prevent the juice of berry pie from boiling out grease the edge o1 l the pie with olemargarine.
 DISCARDED CURTAINS. 1 Pretty sash curtains may be made from discarded long net ones. Cut the border, off. work design in the net | by weaving in and out the meshes 1 with coarse cotton Many beautiful and original designs may be made The work is very fascinating and SC quickly done that only a short time is needed to make a curtain. With a border worked lengthwist of the curtain and up the sides in 6 scalloaed. design and afterwards GU out the curtain is full enough for al ordinary window. If it is not leni enough loops may be crooheted in thu top to run rod in.
 When washed and dipped in coffe, to which a small amount of starcl has been added roll up for an hour ant
 iron on the wrong side. The result i a dainty and durable curtain at III cost and very little labor.
 Cut muslin curtains in strips . foot or more wide, using the goo parts, hemmed on both sides put
 heading on the top and run a strin!
 in. Use on bahy's bed with a daint
 cover made out of the muslin and rufTied edge. Baby's bed will be yer dainty.

the G. A. r. was solidly behind him,
and that there was not a, Stacker

There are nearly a million men

And u flag is going to float over

RAIN ANDC COOL
WEATHER GOOD
FOR The CROP
Practically Every Section Of
the State Has Been
Drenched Last Week.

-. Mff
A week Of cool weather, with a
great deal Of rain, has materially i'm
proved the crop prospects in North
Dakota. During the last seven days
practically every section Of the state
has been %drenched. while the tenn
perature has been such as to permit
the grain to get the greatest possible
benefit therefrom.
Cold weather Of last week, how
ever. appears to have done consid-
cradle damage. particularly in Penn
bina county. where early sown grains
were killed. and in Bowman county,
where some winter wheat has suffer-
ed.
The cool weather and rain is per-
hitting the grain to get a splendid
root. that will stand it in good stead
in the hot weather of mid summer.
Flax planting operations still are
under way, and will continue till June
IS. The state council of defense is
making an active campaign to in
crease the fax production to meet the
nations requirements along that line.
Considerable acreage hat would not
otherwise have been planted, prob
ably will be planted to fax as a re-
suit of the campaign.
Generally speaking, the crop pros
pect Is the best in MANY wears.

W. B. Hillhouse tells this story on his friend T. l.. Long of Walker county, known far and wide as From" Long:
 Tom and I were talking down there on the Brown-Marx corner. Tom was telling about someone who was trying to put over something on him and he was using pretty forcible language.
 Tn few minutes pr. H. M. Edmonds came up and l said: pr. Edmonds, meet Mr. Long Tom still had his mind on the subject he was talking about and continued to use rather strong language. Soon Dr. Edmonds joined some other friends and left us. After he was gone said: Tom, you ought to be ashamed of yourself to use that kind of language before a preacher
 Preacher? he said.
 :" Why, yes. That was Dr. Edmonds, pastor of the. South Highlands Presby- terian church.
 He was plainly embarrassed, and said to me:

A FIRE IS 60 YEARS OLD

From the Youths Companion.
 he town of Summithil in Carbon county. which lies in eastern Pennsyl- vania. has just observed the sixtieth anniversary of the beginning of the great underground antrac;te fire that caught from f1aring' lamp in a min- er's hat in 1858. and that has burned fiercely ever since.
 Up to the present time the fire has consumed 50 acres of immensely valu . able coal. and 1t threatens a still larg. CT area. It is said that more than ST.. O0O.O00 has been spent in efforts to smother it. The Lehigh Coal and Navi- gation company has now attacked tho problem in the following way: large force of worSmen and several steam shovels began more than year ago to strip off and remove the top of the mountain that overlies the burning sec tion. and veins of coal are being talk en away fro mthe path of the fire. just as buildings in the path of city con- flasration are leveled by dynamite to deprive the flames of fuel
 The area stripped Is 400 yards wide and mile long. The average depth is 40 feet, but 1t may be necessary to go still deeper. It is believed that the coal taken from the cut will defray the whole cost of the undertaking.
