over 200 returned service men askin g them to meet at the Municipal build ing Wednesday evening and express their desires as to the kind of a eel ebration they desire.
 The date for the celebration was selected because it is the 280th an- niversary of the settling of the town of Milford and 1t is planned to have the two celebrations at tho same time.
 The idea of making the Welcome Home celebration a side show to the town anniversary does not appeal very strongly to the soldiers who believe that a Welcome Home celebration should be a Welcome celebration and not an appendage to some other eel ebration.
 Special services were held in the churches Sunday in celebration of Children's Day In the morning there was baptism of the children of the Ffrst, Plymouth. and Methodist churches and in the evening there was.musip. dAEing end .reeatAtions by fq,nen1L 9hovsDo I1ooD DSlQ zAo<lulI.

TO USE THE SMALL POTATOES.

Dear Social Cornerites: The perild of conservation we have passed through has led to many economies. one of which is the way to serve small rCtatOes:
 Boil the amount needed with the skins on and when they are done put through potato ricer. Tlc skins will stay in the ricer and the potatoes will go through Season as you do for mashed potatoes These potatoes are cheap and save you much time. ! The small ones, even those as small as a walnut, may be used as fellows:
 Peel wash and dry; have a kettle of lard ready Gas not aS you would |, fry doughnuts) and put them in; fry until golden brown: then Iahs them out with skinner: salt ant they are ready to serve. Very nice for dinner or supper.

ECONOMICAL HOME CAN OX


 Dear Social Corner Folks: Candy making is Che of the arts and dis played in such attra ct;va forms that t is perhaps well to be protected back of glass. If the many ingredients that combined with tho sugar were known it would be much l@ss tempt ing Like everything, therA is profitecr- ing connected with it.
 At retail nr.ces granulatcd sugar is ten cents a pound and confectionery twelve cents. If one has time why pay from thirty cents to nearly a dol lar pound for candy. Cream can dies are so easily made from confec- tionery sugar that pleasure and work are combined Sugar eau be saved by mashinG a half cup of hot potato with a table spoon of co';,starch and "5dnng flavor 1 to taste and stir in the s1gar until it can be handled.
 1 This potato fondant car be used as a basis for many candies and filling l for figs, raisns. prunes or nut creams Add three tablespoons Of water tC a cup of grahulated sugar ar,d boil un- 1 til like syrur: drop in one square O1 chocolate: c'hen dissolved dip tho squares of dried creams, using a knit ting needle, into the hot chonolaIe ant place on butt"red plates tn dry Thest I call my high priced candy.

TIPS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: These are helps worthy a place VI the scrap book.
 Hydrochloric acid is especially good for iron rust.
 Plants in bloom need more water than those in leaf.
 Lamb is maQe more delectabla when served with currant jelly sauce.
 Before warming milk in the sauce pan rinse it out with cold water, then the milk will not stick. When veal lacks the necessary pink cclor, it has usually been killed tCo soon, and is not desirable
 Clean lard will remove wagon grease, stove and shoe polish A good remedy for blackheads and pimples is to dissolve five cents worth 1 of Epson salts in a pint ot rain Wa ter and wash face i~ f each rigut | letting it stay on all night | Open a freshly baked, meaIy pota- 1 tc and break raw egg over 1t.

SPRING CLEANING.

Dear Sisters of The Corner: Febru- ary 5th was an unusually fine winter day, which accounted for the goodly number gathered at the meeting of Club No. ?. We were especially glad to hape Triplets, Wildfower, Crimson Rambler, Golden Glow, Olga, B. B. and Tidy Addley with us
 Delilah Deal: I thank you for the pretty pattern. Shall be pleased to exchange again.
 Heliotrope: We miss you.
 These fine sunny days remind me of housekeeping time, therefore will submit a few suggestions for saving time, temper and money. To clean windows best, use a small piece of chamois with warm water and soap; have another piece of chamois in clear water to wipe over with, wiring i ing quite dry.
 To wash painted walls, use four ta- | blespoons of ammonia to six quarts of water or seven tablespoons to each l pail rinsing with clear water, and rub dry.
 Prevent mating from darkening by washing occasionally with salty water. In sweeping do not use tea leaves, cornmeal or salt but rather small pieces of newspaper well dampened and strewn about.
 When laying away scatter bits of white wax freely among the folds of
 white fabrics such as silks, tulle, faces
 etc, to prevent from becoming yellow
 Clean glasses and mirrors with GhamOis and gilt frames with water ir
 which onions have been boiled, as il will restore the brightness. Itsa NU.+ar 1r,i+l, n Ii++1n ing on the cloth to clean white paint rinsing afterward
 Sagging seats of caned chairs may
 be made quite normal by washing an(
 soaking well with warm soapy water
 and turning upside down until dry.
 To remove the smell Of fresh paint
 put a pail of cold water in the room changing it every two hours. A few drops of oil of lavender scat , tered through a book case in a closed
 room will prevent mildew or mould il
 the books in damp weather. Sweep mating or polished floor
 with a broom with a cover of cottol , flannel; it will take up the dust bette than 8 brush and will save the mat ting quite a bit of wear. Soak new brooms in hot salt wate before using; it toughens them an | makes them last longer. : Rag eags-In an upstairs closet c | varying sizes to contain pieces of dres materials and trimmings for repairs | a time saver if made of a piece of tn | same kind of material that they ar
 to contain.
 = Would like to get a few suggestion from The Corner for using canned to - m3tOeS.
