Undergarments
Reinforce, inmaking, parts subject
to hard wear. Sew buttons on chill
dren's garments through several
thickness of cloth to prevent tearing
out. Run a few threads back anC
forth in the heel and toe Of new
stockings.
Darn promptly small holes in
stockings and other knitted under
wear. A. stitch in times saves the
garment. Rub a piece of soap across
the end of a run to stop the run until
you can mend it.
Wash stocking frequently. 1t pre-
vents continued strain on the same
part of the stocking, and rotting and
change of color from perspiration.
Wash new stocking before wear

holes may appear at once.
WOOL
Brush and shake after each use.
Brush with the nap.
Keep tailormade garments care
fully pressed. Cover with a thick
damp cloth and use a heavy, hot iron.
Some of the special boards and GUS
HONS used by tailors are convenient
and may be made at home.
Remember that "shine" is caused

/ by the wearing down of the nap and
sometimes by grease. Remove by
sponging, pressing, and brushing up
| the nap with a stiff brush. A table
spoon of ammonia may be used to q
quart of tepid water for sponging.
Protect wooden garments against
moths by brushing and shaking
thoroughly out Of doors and in the
sun if possible, then wrap carefully.
Remember that the harm is done not
by the millers, but by the caterpil-
lars which develop from the tiny eggs
which the millers lay. Tar bags,
cedar boxes, mothballs and other
"repellants" may prevent miIlers
from getting in to lay eggs, but can
not be relied on to prevent eggs al

against carpet beetles or buffalo
moths" in The same way. Send to the
Department of Agriculture for Farm

Remove dust by wiping with a
piece Of velvet, soft cloth, or a
soft brush.
Avoid pressing with q hot iron;
the heat Injuries the fibre and some
times the color.
Remove shine by sponging and
pressing. Use 1 tablespoon ammonia
to l quart tepid water.
Wash out silk stockings, socks, and
underwear frequently; it prolonga
their service.
Shoes
Have shoes carefully fitted. Well
fitting shoes look better and wear
better, besides being more comfor-
table. Poor quality shoes are seldom
economical.
Alternate two pairs; they last long
er. Slip shoe-trees into shoes when
you take them off, it makes them
keep their shape longer.
Keep shoes clean and well-brushed;
a dressing made with little oil and
well rubbed in prolongs the wear of
leather and kid.
Clean canvas shoes on shoe-trees
to prevent shrinking. Sponge with a
little water and soap that contains
whiting or use commercial cleanser.
Dry wet shoes on shoe-trees or STUFF
fed with paper.
Protect shoes with rubbers in wet
weather. Even with careful drying
the moisture tends to rot the sewing
threads.
Do not wear rundown heels; they
spoil the shape of the whole shoe.
Have small rips mended at once;
often they can be sewed at home.
Gloves
Buy gloves of good material, we'll 4
stitched, and well-ftted; they are
cheapest in the end
Prolong the life of gloves by blow
ing up and pulling gently into shape
after use and mending rips as soon
as they start. Reliable dealers will
repair worn places at small cost.

pop CORN AS FOOD

Besides being a source of enter
tainment for the children, pop corn
which is the corn kernel cooked whole
instead OF being ground and then
cooked, obviously has a high food
value, as well as good taste and
when properly prepared for the table
it may acceptably take the place of
many of the breakfast foods now on
the market. Pop corn may be eaten
with milk and sugar like other break
fast cereals, of the parched k-r-.el3
which do not "pop out can be
ground like coffee, and eaten With
cream and sugar or can be coil d
with water and served like oatmeal.

COOL AIR IN CELLAR
MAY DO WORK OF ICE

Keeping food cool is an essential
part Of summer housekeeping. With
ice and a well-made ice chest, diff
culties are few, without them other
methods are necessary. We must have
a cool place for storage if we are to
have good meals made up of foods
properly kept and appetizingly ser
we'd. When ice is not available we
can use devices which make cool air,
cold water and evaporating water do
the work Of ice.
We can usually count upon finding
cool air in the cellar, and it is valu-
able indeed if clean and we'll venti-
lated. But one housewife Immediately
says, 81 am too busy to use my time
carrying the food up and down those
cellar steps" Every housewife is, but
how about dumb waiter on which
the food could be sent to and from
the cellar? @ tE
A shaft made of boards and plaster
and extending from the cellar through
the roof by way of the kitchen or
pantry is another device which has
proved useful in some Of the country
for using the cool air Of the
cellar. Wire or perforated shelves
are fitted into the shaft and a door
from it. AS the air in the upper part
of the shaft, grows warmer the cold
air from the cellar drawn up and
the constant upward movement of
colder air cools the food on the
shelves.
An iceless refrigerator which de-
ponds on the rapid evaporation of
water for its cooling action is des-
cribed in Farm Home Conveniences"
Farmers Bulletin 927, United States
Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, ID. C. The use of freless
cooker as an iceless refrigerator is
discussed in it, too.
A miniature iceless refrigerator,
useful where only small amounts of
food need to be cooled, is made by
inverting an unglazed earthenware
pot in dish of water. Food may be
kept cool also by placing the dish in
cold water and changing the water
as it becomes warm.
To keep food cool when ice is not
available takes ingenuity and care.
But others have done it, why can
you not.

Teasel In Cloth DRESSING.

of cloth dressing. The wild teasel is
found in English hedges and copses

Trials without discover forces
within. Says Victor Hugo: "There
are instincts for all the crises Of life"
A deep perpleXity awnkens a flash of
insight; bitter opposition sets the
soul on fire; brave peril opens our
eyes to horses and chariots of fire; a
severe catastrophe evokes heroism of
which the sufferer had not thought
himself capable.-W. l.. Watkinson.

LETTER FROM FRANCE

GLOWING letter to the officers and
members of Mosheim Lodge, I. O..
0. F., Mosheim, Tenn;
"Brest, France, March 9th, 10.
"Dear Brothers.
Thinking that few words from
me might interest you, shall try to
utilize a few of my spare moments
in writing brief message to you.
"First, | want to state that being a
member of your lodge has aided me
very much in my travels during the
past six months, uring which time |
have met many "three link men,"
In fact, | have met them from all
over the United States of America.
But it matters not from what state of
the Union they came, they recognize
me as an Odd Fellow, and treat me
as Brother.
"After travelling drought eighteen
states of the U. S. A. and all over
France, l can truthfully say, that it is
simply grand to be an Odd Fellow
In my company there are five Odd
Fellows. We represent states from
the north, south and west, and we are
very proud, indeed, that we are men,
bers of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows.
at is source of pleasure to us to
get together and talk over the prin-
cipals of Oddfcllowship. Or in other
words, review as we often do,
"My four friends have been NOM
bers of the order longer that l. In
fact, one of them has been a member
of the order for eighteen years, and
l have gained many points from them
which are beneficial to me.
'No doubt you would like to know
something about France, and about
the experience / have had since |
came to France. | shall not attempt
to give il ell owing to the act that
it would take too long end would
make my letter too long. - ---'
81 shall say, however, that the ex-
perience that l have had is worth
hundreds of dollars to me. would
not have missed it for any amount of
money,
81 often think of the pleasant hours
I have spent with you in the lodge
room, and hope that | may have the
opportunity of meeting with you
again in the near future.

have taught me concerning Friend

to these flights.
Mr.. John S. White, Victory Loan

Mr.. F. A. Rosenblatt, who is in
charge Of the Victory Loan Minstrel,
reports good progress in his amateur
organization, and is planning an old

100000 Died
Of Flu In India

DELHI, April 12.-The govern
ment has issued a remarkable report
on the influenza epidemic by Major
Norman White, who has just vacated
the position of sanitary commissioner,
which he had filled with distinction.
Major White declares that from the
incomplete information available it
would appear that no country has
suffered as severely from the disease
as India during the last quarter of
1918. Without fear of exaggeration
it can be stated that influenza was
responsible for 100000 deaths,
equivalent to more than half the NOR
tally attributable to plague in the
twenty-five years during which
plague has been epidemic in this
country. Five million deaths oc-
Cured in British India and 1000, 900
in the native states.
