CHICAGO, May 26.-General selling

lowed by a moderate rally,

and there was a decided upward swing
In prices. The market closed lie TO

THE SPOILERS

Spoil II you will but don't waste.
This advice as curious as it may ap-
pear is daily given to classes of smart
women who are interesting themselves
in domestic science as applied to ev-
ery-day kitchen problems.
Today, housewives whether rich or
poor are equally concerned in the
worldwide service of eliminating
waste. Not only at their clubs but in
their daily practices at home, each
woman is busy reducing the little loss
es here and there in order to increase
the purchasing power of her dollar or
dime as the case may be.
Every housewife will quickly detect
any inferiority Of her matches. The
warning wartime quality is not nee
essary in order for her detection, but
1t Is not so easy with baking powder.
Too often she judges it's quality by
the price or the size Of the package.
Perhaps it would be better to say that
she misjudges by these methods.
Take a concrete example-a 10-cent
can of highest quality baking powder
such as Calumet, of which it is only
necessary to use one level spoonful to
the cup of -four. represents real econ
omy as compared with the Big Can,
fully double the size containing mostly
some cheap filler which is used chiefly
for the purpose Of satisfying those
who want a lot for their money and
who practice the false economy OF
overlooking the real service that quail
ity goods give. Just as a bottle OF
cream is worth more than bottle OF
milk, twice its size, so Is box OF
quality matches or bar Of good soap
worth two of poor grade.-Adv.

A Few Hints for Laundering.

Using an old sheet double it ms
many times as it will cover the board.
This will make four or five thick
nesses. which are laid smoothly and
tackled on the board all at once. When
the top layer becomes soiled. it is cut
off and there is the board with clean
cover.
When covering the ironing-board
with a blanket or padding, tack it
along the edges only. so that both
sides and the ends are smoothly COW
cred. Then make an unbleached iron
Ing sheet the size of board. with large
end left open to slip on like a pillow
case. If well fitted, both sides Of the
board can be used; 1t will look neat
and there will be no pins or nails to
tear hands or clothing.
A Handy Iron Cleaner.
A very practical little contrivance
for US when ironing consists Of a
block of wood about Ave inches square
Five holes are bored n this block and
filled with beeswax. These are cover.
ed with piece Of muslin. The other
side of the block Is covered with EN-.
ery-cloth. The emery side OF the block
is used to rub the iron on If the
starch sticks and the wax side gives
THERON smoothness.

It looks as If the time were not far
away when women will discuss sun
dersilks" instead of "undermuslins,"
for silk has invaded the realm Of cot
ton and is f1ourishing there astonish-
ingly. Just as the silk stocking Is not
looked upon now as luxury but as
necessity Of good dressing, and its use
enormously increased, so silk under
garments are making place for them
selves. Women find them desirable be-
cause they are fine and they prove to
be as dainty and as durable as fine
batiste or other delicately woven cot
tons. And the sheen and feel" Of silk

The shops are showing silk under
clothes that are moderately priced

increasing numbers and that the priced
will not be likely to go higher.

Mean Man, This!

She was a charming little thing. but
she was not familiar with the country
and its ways. Still, although she was
from London, that great brute of a
cousin of hers had no right to attempt
to deceive her. He had volunteered to
show her round the farm, and by and
by they strolled into the cow-shed.
"Dear me, how closely the poor cows
are crowded together" she remarked
"Yes," he said. But, you see, were
obliged to pack them close"
"Why?"
$50 that they'll give condensed
milk" he said, without a blush.
And the dear girl smiled, and said
she hadn't thought of that.-Lond0n

with a sigh Of relief:
"Oh, it's you!"

stranger, turning.
Whereupon the mistaken traveller
hastily apologized. II beg your pardon
but it's so dark in here was quite
sure you were."-London Tit-Bits.
