A FEW HELpFuL SUGGESTIONS.

Editor Social Corner: These helpful suggestions may help someone to buy Ia bond:
 . Comparatively few people realize that the gas bill may be cut down materially by exercising care in light ing the gas. Hold a lighted match over the burner. then very slowly turn on the gas. If the gas is turned on full force before the match is applied a slight explosion occurs which affects the meter and sends it forward rapidly. F If table linen is discolored by fruit or wine stains the spots may be re- moved by stretching the material over bowl and pouring boiling water on | the stain. This may have to be re- ] peated several times before it becomes

ITO TAKE LETTERING FROM

Dear Social Corner Sisters; Since there has been no reply to Twice lwenty's inquiry about tak!n3 the letters out of cloth sacks, and though l was not the, one who wrote before about doing it I think my method may prove helpful to her. as the other used only soap.
 After ripping open and hanging on the line to remove dust. bunch up the and pour on kerosene to dampen, pia ce in a cony enient receptacle, pressing them closely together, and fold the unlettered portions over the top. I like to do a dozen or more at once. Set aside for several hours or ecver night, then make a strong suds of soap and water and add a teaspoon of sal soda if you have it. It should be quite warm, but not hot. Soak the sacks in the suds which with tha kerosene will soften the paint dnd the lettering will then rub out quite eas- fly on the washboard by using hard soap on each portion as it is rubbed. Give a good rinsing and lay on the grass to bleach, after which they ma ; be given a final washing. If to be used only for towels the bleaching may not be necessary.
 It seems a good deal of work but is worth the trouble when uahleached cotton and towelins are so expehsive.

CHURCH SUFFERS.

Church suppers can be very good things from a food conservation view point Perhaps the least waste of food is accomplished by the cafeteria sys- tem, where. each helps himself to: the food which he desires. By this time most people are pretty well trained not to take things which they will not eat. These menus come from the United States food administration and may be helpful:
 Baked Beans and; Brown Bread. Escalloped Potatoes au gratin. Barley or Oatmeal Mufins.
 Cabbage Salad.
 Apple Sauce. Ice Cream. Cake Victory Ffourl. (Other sweeteners than. sugar.)
