How heperfect pancake
formula was worked out

Years ago the Aunt Jemima people realized
that when woman mixes pancakes herself
she could never be sure how they would
turn out. Some days they might be good
but other days, when she thought she had
done everything just the same-the cakes
would turn out fiat, tough and sogpy.
To give every woman way of making cakes
that alstnys come out wonderfully y always
light and fluffy and tender-Aunt Jemima

The treasured recipe of famous Southern
cook was adopted as the basis of the for

were used-Aours that you could not buy in

Care Of the Linen.

When linen tablecloths are discard
ed because more darning would not
be practical, they may be turned into
four napkins. towels and tray cloths.
The four corners of a tablecloth sell
dom or never show any signs of
wear or tear, so that they may be
cut into four napkins as large as
may be desired, hemmed and taken
for ordinary use. When the napkins
are cut out the remainder of TIL
cloth forms a large-sized Maltes
cross, which can be turned into
towels, two shorter and two longer
These will not be as strong and last
ing as the napkins, yet they are
we'll worth the hemming. If any part
of the Maltese cross is too worn to
make a towel, then the good parts
may be cut to the size of the various
trays in the house and trimmed
around the edges with lace. An Old Ia
blecloth, made of heavy linen in fair
condition, will make hemstitched COW
ers for the sideboard and serving
table. or for bedrooms. If it is fairly
heavy the odds and ends can be used
for plate and tumbler doilies. either
scalloped on the edges or finished
with lace or lace braid. Napkins
that are past active service are not
of much use, unless they are care
fully darned and laid aside for oc-
casional use by members of the fam
ily, The best use that they may be
put to is to use in case Of sickness.
When sheets wear out In the center,
which they always do. tear out the
worn part. bring the outside selvedge
edges together and hem the sides.
When badly worn in the center, make
pillowcases from the good parts.

Mending by Machine.

Almost any mending can be done
quickly and neatly on the sewing
machine. The work can be done very
satisfactorily without a darning at
tachment. To darn by machine, the
edges of the hole should not be trim
weave over and under all the ragged
edges. Stretch the garment to be
mended upon embroidery hoops,
thread the machine, take off the
presser-foot and loosen the tension;
then slip the embroidery hoop under
the needle and proceed to stitch back
and forth over weak places and even
over rents. The removal of the press
er-foot allows you to run the work
back and forth either way without
turning. If the place to be mended
requires it, you can turn the work
and stitch across as in darning by
hand, but an ordinary weak spot if
taken in time will only need the
stitches one way across. If there is
large tear, g. piece of the same ma
terial may be laid underneath and
the edges neatly fastened together by
stitching. Woven underwear is quick
ly mended in this way and thin places
reinforced.
Always darn finely the heels and
toes and places for garter catches of
stockings before they have been worn
at all. After holes finally come be-
fore beginning to darn, tack piece
of coarse net lightly to the stocking
over the hole on the wrong side,
then darn over the net and be sure
to also darn well into the stocking,
as well as to keep the darn firm.
1t makes a smooth and neat finish.
This is a good method to follow,
whether darning by hand or by ma
chine

Many articles of clothing and house.
furnishings that in ordinary times
would be discarded without second
thought may, with a little care, be
freshened up and made to serve an
other period of usefulness. The fray
ed or worn edges of an article to be
darned should not on any account be
cut even or trimmed. The stitches as
they are drawn back and forth in the
process of darning should not be al
lowed to form an even outline, but
rather one as irregular as possible,
some rows of stitches ending near
the edge of the worn spot, others con-
tinuing we'll into the material sur
rounding it. This method reinforces
the surrounding of the worn spot and
the Irregular, blurred outline makes
the darn less conspicuous.
The work should usually be done
on the right side, so that the irreg-
ular edges may be caught and held
in place. When darning a wool dress,
threads of the dress material may be
used. They can be drawn or unraveled
from a leftover piece or from the in
side of a seam. Buttonhole the edges
of a. hole in ribbed underwear and
then fagot the edges together with
a firm linen thread. This fagoting
will yield with every movement OF
the wearer and will often outlast the
garment itself.

Bio Storm Recalled.

Just thirty years ago In January,
the worst storm in the history of the
United States weather bureau ragged
over the central West, taking toll Of
more than 200 lives and killing thou
sands of farm animals. "Old-timers"
asserted there had been q storm Of
equal, If not worse proportions, in 1880.
but there are no definite records on the
first storm, and it is known to have
been more locally confined than the
great storm Of 49," The storm origi-
mated in Nebraska and extended to
central Iowa and Wisconsin eastward
and to the Montana line on the west.
The temperature was about freezing
when the storm started, but by the
next morning it had dropped to 81 de-
grees below zero in South Dakota.
Grand Forks, N. D., reported tenn
perature of SO degrees below, while at
Sioux City. Ia, 1t was % below. Near
Mitchell, S. D., farmer and his son
were unable TO reach the house five
rods distant before the boy was frozen
to death.
