CAN YOU SEW A BUTTON
ON A COAT THAT WILL STAY!

We have all heard the joke on the
young married woman who remarked
to hubby: John, you will have to get
another tailor to make your clothes.
This is the fifth time / have had to
sew this same button on your coat
and yet it won't stay on"
Do you know just HOW button
should be sewed on a coat? Charlotte
E. Carpenter of the Agricultural Col
lege at Fort Collins, gives the follow
ing excellent advice on the subject:
Although 1t is necessary to sew a
button very securely on coats and
cloakA, there must be no marks or
stitches on the under side of fronts or
collar or even q suggestion of the To-
cation Of the buttons except in q few
cases where small button is used
on the under side as stay. Tie o
knot in the end of waxed thread
Take . small stitch thru the upper
thickness Of the garment at the point
marked for the position of the but
ton; take a second stitch thru the
shank of the button or put the needle
up and down thru the holes. In the
latter case pin should always be
laid across the button and under the
thread SO that there will be space left
for the thread shank, Repeat six or
eight times keeping the same tension
and alternately taking a stitch in the
material and then carrying the thread
thru the shank or holes of the button.
While sewing, the button should be
tipped little to one side SO that the
needle can be brought out from under
the button before it is carried thru the
material. If the button has holes, the
pin is removed and the working thread
wrapped four times around the other
threads and then fastened by taking
three or four back stitches on the
right side of the garment close to the
thread shank"

Gunnison, January 10, 1899
Dear Mary E
owe you q letter but it will have
to be awfully short this time, as am
entirely out of news. Been so dull
here all week. Then too, was SO
busy getting Jacks things ready for
him before he went to Denver. He
wanted to be there at the opening Of
the Legislature. He writes back to me
and said the Inauguration Of Governor
Chas Thomas was a very quiet affair.
The retiring governor, Alva Adams,
has been a very popular executive.
Our soldier boys who took part in
the Spanish-American war, are COM
ing home, more or less the worst for
wear and tear. George Anderson is
the latest to return. He has been in
a hospital in San Francisco, and says
Sherman was all right when he made
that remark about war.
Did you know that man, Jack Ken
nedy, who was burned to death at
Crested Butte Saturday? No one
Samsel building caught fire.
Mrs. F. w. Livesley is selling her
notion store out and intends going
away. | am going down there this
afternoon
Miss Matte Warner is home again
from Aspen where she spent the holi-
days.
Our Tribune looks kind of lonesome
this week--no lady editors this trip.
About all there is to read in it is q
long account of the county commits
sioners' meeting. 1t seems to have
been three-days' session.
A number of officials were
appointed by the commissioners
J. w. Mullin was appointed supt. OF
irrigation; ]. NJ. Flick and r. A
Skues were appointed justices of the
peace for precincts Z and IL; A. NJ
Waterman is now one of the public
trustees.

SHRINK THREAD BEFORE USING

How many of US have spent hours of
time making a dainty bit of tatting or
crocheting some dainty article to be
worn, only to have it shrink when it
is washed the first time. If the
thread is shrunk before being used it
will not shrink afterwards, and the
article will look ever SO much better
when finished. Simply place the ball
or spool (if white) in boiling water
and set aside to dry. Do not unwind,
squeeze or handle it after it is wet.
Just let the water run out and it will
be the same as when it came from the
store. Run knitting needle thru the
ball or thru the hole in the spool aad
suspend it while drying. In shrink
ing colored thread (if it is to be wash
ed when finished) use luke warm wat
er and hang in dark place to dry.

WOMEN ARDENT
RED CROSS WORKERS

"Few women of America realize how
much Japan has done during the war
for the Red Cross" says the Foreign
Press Bureau of the Woman's Com
mittee of the National Council of De-
fense. "Her Red Cross membership
far exceeded ours in the early days Of
the war; and she maintained hospitals
in England, France and Russia for
whole year, just as we did. Like our
own, these hospitals had to be given
up for lack of funds. After this how
ever, Japan subscribed and sent a mil
lion dollars to the wounded of the
Allies, to be divided pro ratio among
them"

ENERGY.MAKING MEALS
FOR WlNTERY DAYS

The u. S. Food Administration ad-
vocates that there be but three meals
served a day in private families. For
the love of Mike! Since when did
any of us try to eat more than three?
And most of US feel lucky nowadays
if we get one square meal a day. Oh
well, if we can afford three of 'em, all
right. However, the following menu
is good one to serve these cold days,
since it contains food that is both
satisfying and energy-building. The
cost is likewise comparatively small.
Breakfast
Baked Winter Pears
Calves Liver and Bacon Toast
Coffee
Dinner
Roast Pork with Baked Potatoes
Gravy Buttercd Parsnips Bread
Apple Sauce Lemon Pie
Lunch or Supper
Cream of Tomato Soup
Baked Eggs with Pimento Potatoes
Coffee Fruit
These may be varied and other
equally good things substituted. The
point is to have good meal, that is
satisfying to hunger as well as body
building, and that is not expensive.

NEW FOR
THE SUNDAYS DINNER

Braised Chicken With Corn Dressing
Dress chicken or any fowl the same
as for roasting, filling the inside net
quite SO full as usual. with the corn
dressing. Brown the bird all over
in melted butter or butter substitute.
Dust with salt and pepper and place in
a pan, breast down, and scatter over
the bird sliced onion and finely chop
ped carrot; pour in some boiling wat
er and cook till tender, then remove
the cover from roaster and let bird
brown again. Make a gravy Of the
juice left in pan.

SAVING THE BITS OF SOAP

When bar of soap has become SO
thin it can not be handled without
breaking and thereby going to waste,
try the following method of getting
every bit of good out of it: Heat the
thin piece until it is pretty soft, then
stick it onto a new bar of the same
kind of soap, and press it firmly down.
After it has become hard, it will stick
as though it were a part of the bar
to which it is fastened.
Little scraps of toilet soap should
be saved and placed in small sack
made from cheese cloth "a small salt
sack is better.) When the sack is
one-half full, add small handful of
oatmeal to it and tie firmly. You will
have dandy bath sponge, and one
that will last quite while and cost
hardly nothing. Be sure to squeeze
the water out of the sponge" after
using it and hang up to dry, otherwise,
the oatmeal will become sour.
Small pieces of laundry soap may
be pressed onto new bar OF soap, or
put into sack of coarse texture, and
used as dish rag.

HERE'S A LAUNDRY HINT

When hanging out the wash, if the
basket or whatever is used to carry
the wet clothes in, is placed on a
wheeled foundation, it can be shoyed
along down the line, and save many a
heavy lift. Get four wheeis at the
hardware store, or those used on the
cast-off go-cart will do. Saw off the
legs from an old wooden chair and
fasten the wheels to the bottom of it.
When the basket is not in use, the lit
lie wheeled stool can be used in many
other ways. Some use little boys
wagon, but they cost lot and quite
often the laundry basket will not fit
into the wagon, causing the clothes to
spill out. A wagon is likew,se clumsy
to put out of the way when not IN use.

HINT IN BROWNING MERINGUE

Did you ever make delicious GUS
tard or some dessert calling for a
meringue on top, and then find you
could not brown same without spoil
ing the dessert? Makes YOU mad,
don't it? Never mind. Next time try
the following way, and see if it doesn't
work. Place the dessert in the oish
or dishes in which it is to be served in
then get a pan the exact size in cir
cuinference as the dessert ,lish, and
fiji with cold water clear TO the TOP;
place in the hot oven and after the
water has quit "wobbling,' pour the
stiff meringue on the top OF The water,
quickly shut the door and j: v i'll be a
lovely brown in minute. Lit from
water with one or more pancak, turn
ers, taking great care not to break the
meringue. Place on top of the dessert
and it will look the same as though it
had been Drowned on it6 top. In case
of individual dishes, use any kind OF a
tin cup or patty pans and the result
will be all that is desired. Be sure
you fill the pans with cold water, as
hot water will produce steam under
meath the meringue and spoil il.
