ways of making a needle float on the
surface Of the water. The simplest way
is to place a piece Of tissue paper on 1t.
The paper soon becomes soaked with
water and sinks to the bottom. while the
needle ls still floating on the top.
Another method is to hang the needle
in two sings made of threads. which
must be carefully drawn away as soon
as the needle floats.
II you magnetic a sewing needle by
rubbing II on a fairly strong magnet and
float 1t on the water. 1t will make an
extremely sensitive compass. and IL you
place two needles on the surface of the
water at the same time you will see
them slowly approach each other, until
they float side by side that Is. II they
do not strike together so heavily as to
cause them to sink. - From Indoor

many, many girls do consider the nice
appearance Of their feet unimportant.

Of girls ruin their entire costume with
a pair of heels run down and shoes un-
polished. One might never suspect a
visit to the shoe store or the shoe
mender or a trip to the bootblack
might be the way to a mans heart.
But II Is quite true, well.dressed young
men become Disguised with the girl
whose footgear is untidy. and are at
tracted to her by the neat, trim shoes.
The rest Of the second rule is equally
important. Good old.fashioned soap
and water! How very many of our
girls need It! Men are fastidiously
clean. Most of them have gone in for
athletics and nave acquired the
shower. Their faces shine with the
pink Of health and dashes Of water.
How Disguised they must become, then.

sion Of young girls who build their
faces up with 'kalsomine" when Q good
scrubbing would be much more to the

need 1t, but please get into the full

My dear Mrs. Wilson, am
taking the liberty of writing to
you and l want 10 ask you some
thing. l am a girl sixteen years
old and I have a sick mother;
and l have to go to work and when
! get home | have to get supper
ready. ! get home about 6
o'clock. Can you tell me how and
what to cook? l would like to
know something that would not
take very long to cook to get
ready. My mother is a very sick
woman and | don't like to ask her
what to cook all the time (she has
been sick for a good while and
she is kind of grouchy). Well, l
hope I have not asked too much
of you. Thanking you for your
help, ! am, A. S.
A. 81 shall be very glad to help
you. Next time you write just tell
me what you like. As you have so
little time to prepare the meal, l
would suggest that on Sunday you
make a beef or lamb stew or a nice
potroast. Then this can be easily
reheated for one or two evenings
during the week. Perhaps you have
neighbors that would help you out
by cooking a little for you now and
again. Unless you use canned foods
and fry or broil meat, it will require
moro than one hour to prepare a
meal. However, try these:
Macaroni and Beef
Cook one-half package of maca-
roni in a saucepan of boiling water
for twenty minutes and then turn
into a colander and let the cold
water run on it. Now return to the
saucepan and sift over the macaroni
four level tablespoonfuls of flour.
Toss or stir the macaroni so that
the -four will be evenly distributed.
Now pour over the macaroni
One and one-half cupfuls Of milk
One-half cup of 1cater
Stir until it comes to a boil and
then set on the back of the range
while you prepare the beef.
Tear into small pieces two unces
of dried beef and then pour hot
water over it and let stand for five
Z minutes. Drain and then add to the
macaroni. Then season the macaroni
to taste.
Beans and Salt Pork
Have the butcher cut the salt pork
into thin slices and then remove the
rind and nick the edges of the meat
with a sharp knife. This prevents it
from curling. Parboil for five min
utes and then drain. Fry until
golden brown in hot fat and then
lift to a warm platter. Then turn
a can of beans into the pan and
heat slowly for fifteen minutes. If
you r willing to do a little cook
ing after your supper, you could
prepare the next days evening meal.
Boil potatoes in their jackets un-
til tender and then drain and cool,
They may be used for French fried,
plain fried or potato salad. To
French fry: Pare the cold-boiled
potatoes and then cut into cubes and
fry until golden brown in hot fat
For potato salad: Pare and dice the
potatoes and to every two cupfuls
add
Tvo medium-sized onions, cut fine
Little parsley. chopped fine

CONSTANT READER.
Excessive perspiration in the hands or
feet is very often caused by nervous
trouble, n although local treatment
does help some. 1t Is better to get at
the root of the matter. Exercise and
corrective diet are the remedies. A doc
tor would prescribe a diet. M~assaging
the feet at night and rubbing into them
a little vinegar or alcohol will help to
lessen the trouble. But since Il is so
persistent, ! would not content myself
with this temporary measure. A doctor
would be able to answer your second
inquiry. It is a bit beyond me to give
expert medical opinions.
