Old stockings may be made useful by cutting off feet. Cut open the legs and then sew together. Dampen with kerosene (if odor is not objec- tionable), keep for dust cloths.
 After unpacking clothes, 10 take out creases hang on a line in the bathroom, close windows and roos, and let the hot water run until the room is steamed. Let the clothes dry before hanging in closet.

ETIQUETTE
ALOARA

Aloara, was an Italian princess, the daughter of a count known as Peter. She was married to Pandulph, sur named Ironhead. who styled himself prince, duke and marquis. He was, by inheritance, prince of Capua and Benevento, and the most potent mo- bleman in Italy during his time. He died at Capua in 91, leaving five sons by Aloara, all of whom met with mis- fortunes, and three of whom died violent deaths. Aloara began to reign conjointly with one of her sons in 9S2. and governed with wisdom and courage. She died in 992. It is as- serted that Aloara put to death her nephew, lest he should wrest the principality from her son. St. Nil, it is said, then predicted the failure of her posterity.

MEN AND WOMEN
 IN FIGHTING TRIM
They Keep To The Top
 Notch of Health.

The spirit of tie times demands ing them up to the highest degree of eff1ciepcy. Wise men and women have learned fiat it does not pay to allow health or nerves to run down and are quick to take advantage of Natures greatest red blood and nerve tonic, Phosphated Iron, the minute they feel they are slowing up. st
 Whatever your work may be there is no reason why it should continue to tire you; work should only use the right amount of your energy It is trying to work on your nerves and forcing yourself that wastes your strength, runs you down, gives you those restless nights, JOSS of appetite and indigestion, when you get up in the morning as tired as when you vent to bed. There is no sense in anyone being victim of i'll health, poor blood, over work, nerves or the blues when Phosphated Iron will af- ford such prompt and permanent re- lief.
 All over the country men and women in every walk of life lay their good health, strength and nerves of iron to the use of Phosphated Iron, the red blood and nerve builder. and it will also put you on your feet, make you feel like live one. It produces results that last, that's what counts, no ifs" about 1t.
 To insure physicians and their pa-, tients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put in capsules only. Do not take pills or tablets. Insist on capsules.

On Thursday, Aug. 29, at o'clock at the Sanford House 221 Washing ton avenue, there is to be a demon stration on pickling and jelly-making. A vegetable soup mixture is to be canned and a survey of the sugar sit uation as we are having to face it is to be made. This is the last of the regular canning demonstrations, those which are going to follow will be on the general situation in the food world. Hence those who desire to have any questions answered on the canning, pickling or jelly-making pro- cesses are urged to attend. This ought to give the home-makers of Bridgeport an excellent opportunity to get together and exchange ideas which have resulted from their in tensive conserving efforts of the pres ent season. The last meeting was splendidly attended-it is hoped that this one will even surpass that, for with large attendance comes in- creased enthusiasm and inspiration.
 Several loads of peaches have ar rived at Sanford House. Miss Weed is able to sell these peaches to house. wives at $3 a crate. They are the well known Gut peaches and one of these crates will make Is quarts of jelly or jam. Our boys need jam and S3 is a very reasonable price for a whole crate of peaches Try to can as much as you are able, and come to Sanford House to see the demonstra- ton on Thursday. If you will call Noble 936, Miss Weed will arrange to have the peaches ready for you to take home at S3.
 Those canning tomatoes should plan to eat them at least twice a week during the winter, which means they should have nearly 75 cans of this produce on their supply shelves. To- matoes are very reasonable in price, very easy to put up, uses the least amount of fuel and can be used in abundance of ways. Tomatoes are very plentiful, buy them in quantities and if in doubt as to how to can them | call Miss Weed, Noble 936, between and noon hour any morning this week or come and see her in person at the Sanford House, 221 Washington ave

PRESERVE YOUR TRUNK

In travelling about for a number of years I found trunks were knocked to pieces by rough expressmen. To avoid this problem, I purchased 10 cent bottle of vaseline or petroleum, and went all over the trunks a few days before starting on journey, using a cloth to put it on with; this bottle will do many trunks, and solved the problem of splitting and cracking the trunks. It soaks into the wood and has never soiIed anything for me in side or. out. It was an experiment on my part years ago, and has proved successful

comparatively little. Care must be taken in putting them up that meaas- urements are followed exactly that the containers are thoroughly cleansed and sterilized, and, after the lotions are poured into it, the bottle or jar must be well sealed.
 The simplest of all beauty lotions is milk fresh or soured. When rub bed on the face, sour milk especially has a tonic, invigorating effect. It cleanses the skin, imparts a delicate milky whiteness to the complexion, and renders the skin very soft and vel vety to the touch. I have already written at various times in these col umns the facts about the use of sour milk as a facial beautifier.
 Another simple beauty preparation Is that made from quinee seeds Quince seed preparations soften the skin and do not make it greasy as do so many other ointments. But it is desirable to make only a small quan- tity at time, for quince seed prep arations will not remain in good con- dition if kept for more than one month.

better preparation than the following quince lotion. It can be used in- stead of soap, or rubbed on afSer washing. After rubbing it in the hands, simply wipe it off gently, and dry the hands.

PAINTED WALLS

To those who have painted walls in their bathroom. After one has taken a hot bath the room is full of steam. If the walls are wiped down with a cloth or clean mop, it saves both la bor and time, and makes them look much better than the ordinary scrub.

NIENDING HINT

When ironing reserve one or two bars of your clothes bars for all arti- cles which need mending. Use the same bars each week for this purpose and it will soon become second na- ture to do this, and will be found much safer than trusting to memory and much easier than looking each article over when putting clothes away.

So many requests are coming in for carrot marmalade that the recipe is being repeated below by request.
 At the demonstration this week this Is an example of fall fruits We canned without sugar. It Is advisable to use very small amount of sugar, if it is obtainable, but do not let fruit go to waste if you have no sugar to add to 1t; can the fruit and add your sugar later. In the cold winter when fruit of any kind Is at a premium you will not be able to forgive your lack of foresight in this weather, if you have previously let the fruit slip beyond your grasp.

 Sometimes these lonely writers live at home. but in homeless kinds of homes. it seems to me, where there is little sympathy between mother and child or sisters and brothers
 But the real loneliness that can understand is told by the young girls who work in cities towns, lodge small bare rooms, with friendly faces
