The partisan attacks upon the

wish to buy, and the market has been
well supplied with new devices TO
tempt the housewife. Now it is inn
possible to purchase some of the sim
plest articles because they are not
being manufactured. The housekeep-

unusual value Of little things and the
present is the opportunity to acquire
habits Of thrift.
Are You Guilty of These
Mlsdlcmcanors?
The want Of thought in the care
and use of equipment is often the
cause Of its short life. Some of the
apparently trifling mistakes which
cause utensils and tools to wear out
before they should, are the follow
ing:
Contents of saucepans and kettles
boiled until dry and the metal over
heated.
Handles, screws and fastenings OF
knives, forks, egg heaters, etc, loos-
ened from having been left in hot
water.
Metal utensils put away wet, caus-
ing them to rust.
Covers put away wet with steam as
they are taken off the saucepan.
Brooms and brushes used continu-
ally on one side and worn to a point
Brooms allowed to stand on the
floor until their weight bends ol
breaks the straw.
Glasses broken because the bottor
