CARE OF UMBRELLA.

Always dry an umbrella after using.
When put away in a damp condition
the goods is inclined to rot and the
ribs to rust at the joints. A good
plan is to open the umbrella up while
drying and to brush thoroughly be-
fore putting away. Mud will rot the
best of umbrella silks.
Occasionally oil the joints of the
ribs of an umbrella with a good ma
chine oil. It will double its wear.
When an umbrella rib slips loose,
light hairpin inserted at the joint
often saves the umbrella from break
ing further.
Silk umbrellas, when allowed to
stand for a long time unopened in
closet or hall are inclined to split
when used.
When the umbrella cannot be
marked on the handle patch of
white cloth upon which the name of
the owner is written in indelible ink
may be slipped under the ribs at the
top at the umbrella and thus serve
as a means of identification.
When the handle comes off an UNI
btella, fill the hole in the handle
with powdered sulphur, heat the fer
rule until red hot and while in this
condition slip it into the sulphur. As
the sulphur cools it will harden anc
hold the handle in place.
Save old umbrella handles. If in
good condition, many dealers will
l buy them to build into new umbrel
| las.
A sponge in the bottom of the jar.
diniere used as an umbrella stant
will prevent the china from chipping
when struck by the umbrella tip.
Advice-keep a cheap umbrella OF
hand to loan to friends.

SPRING BULBS NOW.

The lovliness of poisoning bIubs
in a sunny window is out of all COM
parison with the small amount of
trouble involved in raising the deli
cately beautiful flowers.
For fifty cents one may purchase a
pottery bowl containing two or three
blubs, and all that is Necessary is to
keep the bowl filled with water. When
the bulbs begin to grow, it is surpris-
ing how soon they attain height and
flowers begin to unfold
Hyacinth, narcissus, daffodi-they
are all excellent harbingers of spring.
and blooming on a table in a sunny
window they give a charm to indoors
that is Undesirable.
Lily of the vaIly may be raised in
doors also. For about dollar may
be purchased a pot of the right sort OF.
soil with a dozen lily Of the valley
pipes all ready to grow.

MARY WORTLEY MONTAGUE.

Two hundred years ago this year
Mary Wortley Montague made the
first experiment of innoculation for
smallpox upon her own son in Bel
grade, which, at that time, was with
in Turkish territory. It was tried
in England with complete success
upon criminals about nine years
later. The disease first made its ap-
pearance' in Mecca, where it is stat
ed to have destroyed the invading
Ethiopian army and thus terminated
in $50, what is known as the War
of the Elephant" Mary Wortley
Montague had been a student of
medicine and had gone to the. Orient
to nurse and study more closely the
dread disease. The supreme test OF
her faith in innoculation came when
she subjected her own son to the
treatment. This was in 1718.

PLENTY OF FRESH MEAT:
DISCREDIT GERMAN CANARD

The only thing thea Food Admins
tration contemplates is later on to
ask the American public to resume
some meatless and porkless days so
that we can feed our allies
To show how much of lie this
butcher yarn is and how anxious our
government is to help the Allies,
here are a few figures:
Taking the month in which our ex-
port of pork products was highest,
our pork figures were as follows:
1911, 106,000,000 pounds; 1912, 104,
900, 900 pounds; 1913, 100000, 900
pounds; 1914, 100000 pounds.
After the war got into full swing
the demands of our present Allies be-
came heavier, and in 1916 the high
month saw an export of 1s9, 100000
pounds. In 1917 the high month was
February, with an export of 162, 000,-
900 pounds.
The present year sees the Allies
more than ever dependent upon us
for food. The result is that this past
March we sent 3O8,O0o,oOo pounds of
pork products abroad.

no fresh meat is to be killed for
three months this summer
This is the pro-German lie that nu-
merous butchers througout the
country haGe been telling their wom-
en- customers.
Nail it whenever and wherever you
hear It!
If a butcher tells you that, try to
get him to repeat it in the presence
of witnesses and then communicate
with the Federal district attorney.
Uncle Sam wants to know what it's
object is.
The Food Administration, when
asked whether there was any basis
for the story, replied that fresh meat
is to be killed this summer just as
usual.
No order has been issued by the
Government to prevent the killing of
fresh meat or to cut it down. No
such ORDER has been contemplated.
There is nothing to prevent the
packers and the butchers from kill
ing beef cattle, and hogs and sheep,
just as in ordinary times.

"MY WAR CREED"

Sunday evening at the Newfeld
Methodist Episcopal church the pas
tor, Rev. Daniel M. Lewis, will preach
the third sermon in the series entitled
my War Creed" The first was de-
livered last August and the second
last December. An attempt is made
to set forth not only the pathetic
purposes but the spiritual principles
involved in the development of the
war A few months changes almost
completely the emphasis from one set
of ideas to another. The patriotic
impulse is growing stronger as it
should. Is the spiritual sense of God
also?
,Newfield patriotic music is always
worth hearing There will be male
and mixed chorus singing. All well
come.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

(By the U S. Food Administration
Bureau.)
Here's good food for real young
ster's day.
A good breakfast to start him off
milk, corn-meal mush, apple sauce.
1t makes him fit for school and fit
for play,
Milk, and plenty of it, makes him
grow quart each day if you can.
Put it on his cereal and in his cup.
Make it into sops, buildings or Gus
tards for him.
Whole milk is best, of course, but
skim milk is good if there is a little
butter in his meals. Cottage cheese is
good, too.
No coffee or tea-not even a taste.
Leave them for the grownups. Milk,
cocoa, not too strong, and fruit juices
are the drinks for children, and plen-
ty of water always.
Fruit they enjoy, and they need it,
too-baked apples, apple sauce, thor
oughly ripe bananas, prunes, oranges,
etc. Give them vegetables, fresh or
canned. Plenty of fruits and vege-
tables tend to prevent f~constipation.
Use proper food and do not depend
upon laxatives. The youngster can't
be well unless the bowels move reg
ularly. Don't let him hurry off in
the morning without attending to
this duty.
Other foods a child needs; Whole
wheat bread, not too fresh, corn
bread, well-cooked oatmeal, corn
meal, rice They help to make strong
boys and girls. Some fats, butter OF
margarine or meat fats on his bread
or in gravfes. An egg, perhaps, par
ticularly if he doesn't get his full
quart of milk, or he can have a little
meat or fish, but he does not need
much. ~ e

ALMOST A TYPICAL BRETON.

Certainly ones taste for the roman
tic and the picturesque is given I'M
hampered freedom in the boudoir.
With Dutch caps and Hindu turbans
and Egyptian headdress, and now
Breton caps, milady of momantic
turn of mind ought to be in her sew
enth heaven.
Here she takes to the Breton, and
is there anything more delightfully."-
picturesque than the FreHch peasant
bonnet? And this one is so absurdly
simple to make, too. You see, it's just
a gathered fold of lace, shirred to fit
the head at the bottom and coaxed
into flaring points at the top. Lovely
lace makes it. OF course, there is a
foundation cap.

THE PROPER LIGHT.

Nothing is a more important fac
clear and unimpaired eyesight, and
nothing has so great an influence in
making or marring the state of vision
as light. Give a little careful atten-
ton to the way the light is arranged
before you start in to do anything
that requires the least bit of eye
strain. 1T is well worth while to
have the light fall over the left shout
der for if the eyes are even little
strained the lids will be red and
swollen. while work in poor light
may result seriously.

CARROT FUDGE.

After you have tried potato candy
help yourself to carrot fudge. Here
is the recipe as worked out by Miss
Lou Stallman, director of home eco
Monies for the Food Administration
of Texas.
One cup corn syrup, 1 cup mashed
carrots, ! cup of milk 1 cup of sugar,
2 tablespoons fat.
Cook carefully on an asbestos mat,
stirring constantly until the candy
looks as if it were near scorching;
test by dropping a portion of the
cooked mixture into cold water. Pour
into oiled tins and cut into squares.
Flavor in any way you please.

CANNED CHEESE THAT KEEPS.

An interesting development of the
past two or three years has been can
ned cheese capable of being kept in
definitely without deterioration. Con-
siderable difficulty was found former
ly in packing cheddar cheese. By a
new process says the New York Pro-
duce Review canned sterilized cheese
is now packed for shipment to all
parts Of the world, and is largely used
by the government.

A very simple protection against
moths is a small bottle of chloroform
placed in the box or trunk with the
garments, the cork being so notched
that the contents will slowly evapor-
ate. If you happen TO have left a
moth egg in the garments, when it is
matched, the insect will be so dazed
nv the chloroform that he will never
become hungry. sQsiessA
