PICKLES ADD ZEST TO
MEALS; SO WHY NOT ADD
SOME TO YOUR STORES

Picking is an important branch of
home preparedness for winter months.
Pickles have little food value, but a
flavor which gives zest to an other
wise insipid meal.
Instructions for making some of
the choice varieties of tomato pickles
and catsups, as recommended by the
United States Department of Agricul-
tuce, are given below:
TOMATO CATSUP
Wash and cut up a quantity of
tomatoes. 1t is not necessarily to re-
move the skins. Place in kettle with
out any water and boil until thorough
~ soft. Mash through a fine sieve
until only seeds and skins are re-
moved. To each gallon of this liquid
add 8 level tablespoons of salt and
one fourth tablespoon of red pepper.
Place again in the kettle and suspend
in it little flannel bag containing
for each gallon
Two level tablespoons of whole all
spice.
| -Four level tablespoons of unground
white or yellow mustard seed.
One level tablespoon of whole
cloves.
Two level tablespoons of unground
celely seed.
One ounce of stick cinnamon.
Three ounces of green ginger root
that has been cleaned and scraped.
Now drop in two large whole on
ions, bring to a boil, stirring frequent
! ly to prevent scorching, and boil I'M
til the mixture begins to thicken;
then add pint of vinegar and level
Tablespoons of sugar. Continue boil
ing until the catsup becomes so thick
that when q teaspoonful is removed
and placed in a saucer no water will
run from it. Remove the onions and
the bag containing the spices, put the
catsup into jars or bottles that have
been previously washed in boiling
water and seal or cork while hot. If
kept corked, catsup made in this way
will keep indefinitely.

when not in use. Plenty of rods and
hangers save space ana prevent
wrinkles.
Keep covers over delicate garments
or others worn only occasionally TO
protect against dust and rubbing.
Do not keep partly soiled garments
in an unaired place. They are likely
to become discolored.
Fold carefully all garments kept in
drawers or boxes.
In putting garments away for the
season, guard against wrinkling,
stretching, fading and insects. Fold
so that creases will correspond as far
as possible with the folds into which
the garment falls in use. DO not al
low weight to rest on folded gar
ments. Garments of firm materials
may be left hanging if carefully COW
cred against dust and insects; but
sleazy materials, heavily trimmed
garments, and circular skirts are like
" to be stretched out Of shape by
their own weight. Keep in the dark
to avoid change in color.
Removable and washable collars,
cuffs, and Innings save cleaning II
women's dresses, waists and coats.

THE LAMP is
IMPORTANT AS
A HOME MAKER

Many a living room that would
otherwise be quiet, ponderous, and
even somber in it's effect is rendered
cozy and inviting by the placing of
its lamps. Lamps are to a room what
| flowers are to garden-brilliant
spots of light and color against the
graver surroundings. Watch guests
who enter your home in the evening
and see them gravitate toward the
lamp, especially if it has we!com-
ing chair near it. Not all the cor
cealed lightning in the world, not
all the beautiful scenes on the side
walls, can take the place of the big
glowing lamp, down near your elb
with its mellow shade and air of good
cheer.
Let US put in a good word, too, for
the lamp which can be seen throu yh
he window. Did you ever come down
darkish street on a winters night
and see cheerful lamp in soiae
house that you passed? Didn't it look
homelike and warm? There's an art
in placing lamp where it may light
the family reading table and yet be
glimpsed from the street.
Lamp shades specially designed to
harmonic with the hangings and up
holstery of room may be had nov
in profusion. Two-toled silks give a
soft diffused light. One of thin ma
hogany-colored silk over peach col J.,
is good with oriental rugs having
good deal Of deep rose. In rooms hay
ing good deal of warm browns and
yellows, shade of Chinese vermil
lion silk over pale yellow is attrac-
tive. Shades made of thick yellow
vellum with painted designs in dull
reds, blues, and greens give rich
glowing light, and an effective way
of treating shades either-of vellum OF
or heavy paper is to cut away the
design, and paste underneath a thin
lining paper of some harmoEizing
tone
An ingenious home maker can
easily design and make her own lamp
shades. A woman who had single
electric lamp hanging from the cell
ing made a pretty, deep lantern
shaped shade by sewing yellow silk
very full upon a wooden embroidery
hoop. The silk fell about fourteen
inches and was then sewed to another
similar hoop. To this lower hoop
were attached cords of yellow silk,
converging in a Chinese tassel of
hl11n op1 GOLD 1xybioh ohnoao1o1 hn
drop chain controlling the light. The
effect was of a large and luxurious
lamp, although the bulb was the usu-
al small one.
Electric lamp equipments may be
fitted into any form of base at small
expense. Large jars and vases, brass
bowls, and even tall, narrow baskets
may be adapted for the purpose, and
be odd as well as appropriate.

A LITTLE WORK PROLONGS
WEAR OF UNDERGRADUATE

When n aking undergarments, rein
force the parts which are subject to
hard wear. Sew buttons on children's
garments through several = icknesses
of cloth. tc prevent tearing out.
Run a few threads back and forth
in the heel and toe of new stock
ing.
Darn promptly small holes in stock
ings and ether knitted underwear A
stitch in time saves the garment. Pub
piece OF soap across the en-! g a
run to stop the run until you can
mend it, suggests the home economic
experts in the Department of Agri-
culture.
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 stockings before wear
ing to remove the sizing; othetM c
holes may appear at once.
HOW TO SAVE BY TREATING
OUTER GARMENTS WITH CARE
Outer garments which are given
careful attention wear much longer
and look much better than those
which are neglected that time used in
caring for them is well spent.
The following hints for their care
are given by home economic experts
in the United States Department of
Agriculture:
Handle outer garments carefully

The "good" grade resembles
"choice" in most respects but may
lack some Of the essential points. The
amount of fat may be less and it ma y
not be so evenly distributed. The col
or of the elan meat is the same as
in "choicc" but in each case the
retail cut of meat must show that the

This is indicated by the frmness of
the meat and a liberal amount Of fat,
The Lower Grades
The medium" grade represents
the next lower quality, and The prin-
cipal point which determines this
grade is a lack of outside and inside
fat. The lean meat has dull appear
ance and lacks the firmness found IL
the two higher grades. The lean
meat also frequently has a wa.ery
appearance. The bones are usually
small but the percentage of mclt IL
much lower than in the better grades.
The common" grade is the low
est grade usually found in the mar
kets. The meat has every appear
ance of the animal having been poor
ly fed. The bones are prominent and
the percentage of meat is very small.
The almost entire lack of fat is
strikingly noticeable. The small per
centage of lean meat has a fabby APP
pearance and is dull in color.

JUDGE LAMB BY THICKNESS,
COMPACTNESS AND IT'S COLOR
Buyers of Lamb and Mutton Who Know How to Judg
Grades Do Not Buy Dull Colored, Flabby Meat
When They Want Choice Cut


Lamb can be one of the most de-
licious varieties of meat or it can be
one of the most distasteful, accord
ing to its quality and the way it IS
prepared before and during cooking.
Plenty of people, who formerly had
classed lamb among the foods they
iisliked, have learned to like it when
it was prepared properly. The strong
mutton flavor SO Objectionable to
many is located principally in the
hin membraneous skin and outer cat
of d cut of lamb or mutton. A sharp
knife will take it off easily. Epicurea
declare that a good leg of lamb with
this skin and the supcrhous fat re-
moved, rubbed with butter and roast
ed, can not be excelled in the meat
line for delicacy OF flavor.
How to Know Good Lamb
If the consumer wants to kr ow the
grade of lamb he is buying, there
are a few cardinal points to observe,
the Bureau of Markets, Department
of Agriculture, points out. Keeping
them in mind will lessen the chances
of disappointment over the quality Of
The cut when it is served,
The points by which TIE several
grades of lamb may be determined
after the carcass has been divided
into cuts are not so pronounced as
in beef. The grade must largely be
determined by the thickness and com

among the local citizens as to the
new location of the postoffice. The
lease on tie bank property where the
office is now located expires April l.,
