A few energetic women decided last
summer that Roswell. n. Mex, needed
central meeting place and room
where women and children might rest.
A large number of country women
made Roswell their shopping center,
and there was no place where they
might brush off the dust and straight
en- their hats when they arrived in
town. nor rest when they wearied of
shopping. How to meet such need
became the concern of the hOme-dem

AVOID APPLE DlSCoL0RATlON
After PAIRING Put Them Into Weak
Salt Solution-Silver Knife Is
Better Than Steel.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
To prevent apples which are to be
served raw from becoming discolored,
put them, after pairing, into very
weak salt solution Il to 2 per cent?,
the United States department of ag-
riculture suggests. A silver knife is
better to use for pairing apples, pears
and other fruits than one of steel, as
the steel frequently discolors the fruit
and sometimes leaves a noticeable
flavor.

USED AS MEAT SUBSTITUTES
On Account of Protein Eggs Are Valu-
able Food-Easy to Digest by
Children and lnvalids.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Every egg contains about six or
seven grams of protein of the same
value as that of meat For this rea-
son eggs are widely used as meat sub
stitutes. Children and invalids often
find them easier to digest than meat,
as they lack the fibrous connective tis-
supply iron and phosphorus as well as
protein the yOlks of eggs should be
included in the daily diet of every
child after the end of the first year.
The yolks also supply growth-promot-
ing fat-soluble food which adds to
their value.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Old corks soaked in paraffin make
splendid fire-lighters.
If possible, never cook potatoes by
boiling, but by steaming.
Salt and water gently spatted on the
face makes the cuticle firm.
When putting down the linoleum do
not put any tacks in it. You will be
surprised how much longer it will
wear.
Two or three tablespoonfuls of kero-
sene pouped into the boiler of wash
water will remove stains and help TO
whiten clothes.
If your shoes stiffen after tramp
on a rainy day wash them over with
warm water and then rub castor oil
thoroughly into them. This makes the
shoes soft and elastic.

PAINTING Kitchen Walls.

Kitchen -~ails should be painted so
that they may be wiped with damp
cloth. making cleanliness possible
without great demand on strength and
without the disarrangement caused by
whitewashing or calcimining.

rolled in these clubs apparently the
young people realize how necessary
good bread is for health and enjoy
ment. Last year 1883 young people
In the boys and girls clubs learned
the art of making bread. At Salem,
Mass. rs applied for membership in
the bread-making club, and, strange as
it may seem, more boys than girls APP
piled. AS a consequence two classes
are being conducted for the boys and
one for the girls. Sixty hours of work,
with a written report and an exhibit
at the end of the contest, which closed
April 10. are required. Besides bread
making the boys and girls are taught
all kinds of household tasks which
can be properly done by boys and girls
from 10 to 1S. Every member of the
club who completes the course satis-
factorily will receive a club achieve
ment pin.

| PORTLAND, Dec. AFTER Janu-

ganizations over the city to conduct
campaigns and drives for funds will
be in the hands of a special committee
of business men that will be appoint
ed by Mayor Baker within the next
few days. The committee will investi-
gate each application, with final ap-
proval being reserved by the council
Decision in the matter was reached
Tuesday afternoon at a special meet
ing of the city council called for the
purpose of hearing opinions from or
ganizations who wish to conduct cam
paigns. Mrs. Hattie B. Lawrence, rep
resenting the Pisgah home, appeared
before the council and was granted
permission to solicit $4,000 to tide her
home over the winter months. She
asserted that December was the one
month that she could obtain funds.
in that people were in the spirit of
giving. On petition submitted some
few days ago, the Weaverly baby home
will be allowed to solicit funds for the
conduct of the institution during De-
cember. Commissioner Pier gave per
mission to the Salvation Army last
Friday to place their usual kettles on
street corners during Christmas week.
1t is Mayor Bakers intention in ap-
pointing the committee of business
men to include the various organiza-
tions over the city. Members of the
council did not feel that they care to
decide whether or not in
stitutions in the city should be allow
ed to conduct drives.
