When Cooking Vegetables.

First, if scft water is used, the salt must be put in at once, to prevent loss of flavor and substance.
 Second, to lay them in very cold water for an hour or more will par tially restore to wilted vegetables quality and freshness.
 Third, every green vegetable should be cooked rapidly and uncovered tc retain it's color. If the water is very hard a tiny bit of soda added, no larger than a pea, will make the veg etable cooked in it tender and of better color. Ordinary water will not require such addition.
 Fourth, old or stale vegetables are often improved by being served with a cream CT butter sauce.

Household Hints

There is no reason why the pretty cClored cotton frocks need fade in the washing. They will look like new If you put one teaspoonfuI of spirits of turpentine into half a gallon of cold water and thoroughly wet the gar ments in this, then wiring and hang in the shade.
 Do not throw away the old stock ings. Cut a strip about half an inch wide as bias as possible by starting at the top and going around the leg in continuous direction. Then wind the strip into a ball and you will find it handy when tying up the vines in the garden. If you cut it quite bias and avoid the heel you can cut right down through it.

BAPTIST BIBLE INST.
AT NEW ORLEANS
Destined to be hte Greatest of Its
Kind in the World.

The Baptist Bible Institute
campaign for 100000 has been
thoroughly organized through
out the state and everywhere
fine work is being done in it's or
6anlzed prosecution. The cam
pai8n opened last Sunday in
more than six hundred Baptist
churches in Louisiana and it is
fully expected that the appeal of
this Institute will be made to the
more than $4,000 white Bap-
lists during the next month. In
many of the associations of the
State some of the strongest lay
men are taking active part in
presenting the campaingn in ru-
raj and village churches. These
laymen so out in teens of two or
more speaking in the churches
and assisting in the individual
canvass of the membership. Not
a low note or a discouraging
word has come from any section
of the state. In many of the To-
cal districts the apportionment
made from the office has been
increased and it is practically as
Sured that the 100000 will be
raised before March 9th. One of
the leading UNCONVENTIONAL
workers speaking about the or
ganization in his territory said:
IF the whole state could be
thoroughly organized and the in
tereSt of this institute could be
presented to all of our conStitu-
ency, we would raise more than
a half million dollars in the
State of Louisiana alone" DR.. |.
J. Van Ness, corresponding sec
rotary, Baptist Sunday School
Board, Nashville, Tenn, writes
THAT it is a great campaign
that you are putting on in Louisi-
ana in the interest of the Bap-
fist Bible Institute of New Or
leans. If you put it over and of
course you will, it will be the
most far reaching effort in our
history of a generation" This is
the view that the big denomina-
tional men take of the cam
paign in the State for the Bible
Institute in New Orleans. The
success of this campaing in
Louisiana will challenge the
whole south and | anticipate the
other states will take up the
raising of their quota of one
half million dollars for endow-
ment within the next year.

New Orleans is destined to be
of its kind in the world. Stand
ing at the gateway of the south
and holding the key to all of the
countries of Central and South
America, it will become one of
the greatest missionary institu-
ton of the world. Teaching the
Bible and relating subjects to
the constituency Of the south and
of Central and South America in
the several languages spoken by
the peoples of these lands, it
will send out christian workers
by the hundreds for christian
conquest. Any investment in
this institution is destined to
constant multiplication in mis-
SiOnary service.
There are thousands of dollars
belonging to the Lord in pos
session of the big business men
of Louisiana that ought to be in
vested in some institution of
this kind. Many of them are
recognizing the merits of the
Baptist Bible Institute and large
RESPONSES are coming in. One
big lumberman has made a con-
tribution of $4,000 and one
building on Washington Avenue
Square is dedicated to him as a
memorial. 1t is hoped that other
men of large means will use the
opportunity and make similar in
veStmPntS.
Good news comes regarding
the beginning of the campaign in
this section of the State and To-
cal managers are greatly en-
couraged, no doubt. Every
church covered by this paper is
to be visited hy special speaF
er and a complete canvass of HE
entire B&ptiS! constituency is TO
be made. There are manv Leo.
pie of other christian faith who
are recognizing the merits Of
this institution and will make
contributions to the 5000, 100000
campaign.

gaps between Jennings and the
CalCaSieu line.
Mr.. Daigre remained in New
Orleans at the request of the

conjunction with the State high
way engineer in working out all
details prior to advertising for
bids. This will take about one
week, then the work will be ad-

than April 18th.
The JeningS-Mermentau road,
on account of the short haul for
