HOW 10 THAW OUT FROZEN WATER
 PIPING

Some of the January fires are caus- ed by home talent plumbers, who at tempt to thaw frozen pipes in hur- ry. The following warning is sent out by the National Fire Protection As sociation:-
 Many winter fires are caused by ill., advised attempts to thaw frozen wa ter pipes. A burning torch or open flame of any description should never be employed for this purpose. To wrap the. pipes with oil-soaked rags and set them on fire is worse than folly; it is incendiarisIn.
 Pipes are almost invariably adja- cent to walls or partitions where there is an ascending current of air to feed and spread a flame. Even if the flame does not start a fire its sudden local heat may cause the pipe to break and flood the premises with water.
 Wrap the frozen section of the pipe with cotton cloth and pour hot water upon it (even if the hot water must be obtained from a neighbor) until the ice in the pipe gives way. Rags on the floor at the base of or under the pipe will absorb the waste water If the freezing is too severe to yield to this treatment send for plumber.
 Reputable plumbers always avoid running water pipes along outside wall where it is possible to do so. Pro- perty owners when building should look out for this. It may some time save them money and vexation.

BRASSIERES OF FILET LACE
 POPULAR

It is hard to know whether bras sieres ought to be included under the general head of corsets or of lingerie. It is true that they carry out and ac- centuate the best lines of the corset, and an intelligent corset saleswoman can always recommend a special bras siere to go with any style corset that you may choose.
 Filet lace is used laEish1y in some of the new brassiereS. They are fn- deed far different than those of heavy linen-rather bulky and clumsy in ap- pearance, however satisfactory in ef- fect-that were introduced into the market when brassieres first came into fashion. It is now possible to get brassieres for evening wear, no max ter how low the decolletage may be. Some are made with deep V at the back, straps of lace over the shoul- der and round or V line at the front Others are made without any shoul- der straps, but are so cleverly cut that they give the necessary support to the figure,

WATER SOAKED
 POULTRY MEANS LOSS TO BUYER

When you buy poultry which is packed in ice, you probably are pay ing poultry prices for from to IA per cent of water soaked up by the bird," according to the statement is sued by the United States Department of Agriculture. '"This means paying from 25 to 50 cents a pound for from 3 to IA pounds of water in every hun dred pounds of chicken purchased.
 Moreover, a broiler allowed to soak in water or ice will lose about 1.3 per cent of its edible substance, while roasting chickens and fowls lose as much as per cent" the statement continues.
 "Along with the edible material, water dissolves and washes out from the bird substances on which the fine flavor of the flesh largely depends.
 ''The purchaser who wishes to avoid water-soaked chickens and to make sure that the money is paid for poultry, and not poultry plus add ed water, will do well to insist on buy :n8 Mry packed and dry chilled biro- It is always advisable to see the pack age in which the butcher-received the chickens. High grade dry packed dry picked birds are commonly sent to market in boxes, not in barrels Twelve birds are packed in a box which is neatly lined with white parchment paper. Each individua head is wrapped in paper. The feet of the birds are clean and the entrails are always in place. Wet packed i chickens are shipped to market ir barrels holding 200 pounds or more The birds in the bottom of the barre soak in water that is filthy with dir washed down from the feet and heads by the melting ice.
 Many persons who have found 2 bird dry and without favor attributed this lack of quality to cold storage whereas the probability is that we packing is responsible for the fac that most of the appetizing flavor hal disappeared. Usually cold-storeC poultry which is thawed in the dry cold air of the ice box is much super for to the water-1ogged so-calleC 'Fresh-Chicken.'

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

It is important that the larder should always be kept well aired, so that the contents may be fresh and sweet.
 To prevent dust and smuts getting in through the open window cover it with a piece of butter muslin. This lets the air penetrate and at the same time keeps everything spotless.
 When coloring an article at home, if it is anything which is to be made over, color two spools of thread or silk at the same time. It will then be used to match in color.
 In making soap at home pour it while soft into the long, narrow cor set boxes. It forms into bars that may easily be cut into slices of con- venient size.
 A cheap new dustpan makes a splendid pie-lifter for taking pies from the oven. Once used, always used.

 Ecrap baskets of tin are among the painted novelties. They are washable, so have a distinct advantage over their cousins. This is an age of paint ed tin, as well as of painted furniture, and both are hard to resist-they are so lovely.
 A spinet desk, not to be outdone by the rest of the world, has chosen lac ouer, too. It is quaint reproduction of old blue, of Japanese decoration. A small reed organ. known as melo- deon, forms the framework for this desk. The works have been taken out and desk fixtures added. A low chair accompanies it.
