TAKING CARE OF PORK.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner. I have not written for several months as I have been quite busy. I have been taking care of my pigs after they were butchered. I yN7der if it would in terest you if I wrote how I managed. I always take the fat pieces, and also the thickest and pack in a clean bar rel with salt then pour CT the wGtsr to cover the pork to make q briGs. take all Of the rough pieces and make into sausage
 The hams are trimmed and packed iii another barrel, then I make a brine as follows: For 100 pounds of hams take six gallons of water. nine pounds Of salt, three ounces of saltpeter. one ounce of saleratus, three pounds of brown sugar or two quarts of mo- lasses.
 A large iron kettle of brine made strong enough to bear up an egg will be sufficient for barrel of hams: and will cure them sufficiently. Let them lay in the brine six or eight weeks; then take out, hang up and let drain; tE.>- smoke; wrap them in newspapers and pack in wood ashes they will keen ali summer
 With the best of wishes for all. HILLSIDE

THE FEEDING OF INFANTS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters. Aunt Mary: Your letter about child man. agement was good. Please write some mere. have a dear friend who knows you.
 Billy Bluster-You hit the nail on the head about children.
 Potlatch-Glad to see a letter from you. Come often. l am much inter- ested in children and would like to hear from other mothers. If we know a good thing pass it S~l, it will find it's place and help the one God intended it should. .
 The feeding Of baby is important. The mother should nurse her child if she can: and if not great care should be taken with its artificial food. If cows milk is used Mellen's food will modify the milk and make it more easily digested. Keep the Bod on ice 1 or in a cool place; clean the bottle ard nipple thoroughly. Immediately after each feeding wash the bottle ard nipple in soda water. scrubbina wcll with a brush It is of much i'm pCrtance to keep the feeding utensils clean. .. Every mother should have a quie mind during the nursing, Deriol. Sh' must provide enough nouriahnlent tt satisfy the needs of her growing baby and at the same time she must b' engaged in bringing her own physica condition back to her usual health an'

THINGS WHICH SHOULD BE RE.
 MEMBERED.

Dear Social Corner Friends: These suggestions may be help to young housewives:
 Corn oysters are served with TOW dered sugar, honey syrup or Chili sauce.
 Instead Of grating cheese for some dishes that are to be baked, slice it thin and save time. z
 4 whole egg well beaten and placed in the soup toureen will give body to q soup when the stock is a little thin. Pour the hot soup into the egg grad ually and stir.
 Mixtures which are raised with eggs alone should have the whites and yolks separately beaten
 Veal is better in late winter and spring, while pork and fowls are bet ter in autumn and winter.
 Always wet cornIceal with cold wa ter before pouring it into the boiling water to make mush. A small piece of orris-root placed | i0 the boiler in which handkerchiefs are boiled will give them a perfume that will last.
 | Handkerchiefs for sports wear are i ct an all-over design on a solid color f for more formal wear they have -Io hand embroidery with the domi r1rt unit in color, the bacllgrounl embroidered in white.
 Add one cup Of peanu: butter to cup Of mashed hot potatoes and ont beaten egg; season with two table | spoons chopped parsley, two teaspoon. salt, two teaspoons grated onion, sprinHiug of paprika. Mix well arC lake in sre sod pan in hot oven fo 8 or 40 minut 6
 If one has round shoulders the, should hold the chin up and carr! tho head high, with elbows held vii lack. At night practice walking abou the room with a cane across the bacl and the arms over it. Ten minutes 0 this exercise will work wonders i taking the curve out of the shoulders

FEBRUARY BIRTHDAYS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: As this is the month of noted birth days, l think there is much could be said on this topic. From our earliest days Te have been taught to observe the anniversary of Washington's birth day at school as in present times. We had a holiday, also in later years Lincoll's birthday has been more in prominence. It appeals to me as a fit ting tribute to the lives of our great American leaders
 We like to { K Lrcli and recall what took place on the earliest birthdays we can remember. For instance. we think of a birthday party and the special cake that mother made; how nice it locked in the center of the ! table as we little folks sat together ! for tho birthday tea: the various SttIe | gi-ts that were given to us, from ' yoyng people and from our parents . and Erandmas and many others. How we enjoyed them as pleasant sur priscs. And among those presents which we have been fortunate enough Co keep till now, however simple they may have been. as birthday gifts they bring repeated joy.
 We a'l ike to he happy on our birth days. This docs not conflict with ge ". IS i't'4NNttN iNluTdl. IOngfaJula- lions are in order and good wishes for many returns of the day are heartily accepted.
 There are many splendid suggestions and aeRaifGonts on the modern post card and it seems as f nothing better could he found to convey esteem anC affection. These words of truth: "W, never pass this way but once" i'm nr-sG Us that we should have a care for m stakes cannot he mended Afte all, it i7 not how long we live, bu how we'll"

FEBRUARY MEETING OF CLUB

Dear Social Corner Friends: Febru- | ary 5th was an ideal winter day for l the meeting of Club No 3 at Bucking- ham Memorial. The early morning was | not so promising as we had desired, | but by 10 o'clock the sun was shining brightly and the keen bracing air was so inyigorating that it seemed too good to stay at home, and 10 o'clock found us starting for the car station to spend where we felt sure we should meet many Social Corner Sisters whom we should be glad to spend the day with.
 At Jewett City we were joined by Sally Sycamore, Delilah Deal, Vira and Comfort. Arriving at Buckingham Memorial we found goodly number already there, with Scottie, Calla Lily, Nellie By and Blossom as busy as bees talk ing care of the good things as they were brought in. and arranging the ] long table for the use of the large !! company expected
 l We were delighted to see Married 1 and Happy and Tidy Addly, whom we I had missed so much from our gather inss and Lucy Acorn and Crimson Rambler, who add so much to the in- terest of the Social Corner.
 i It was surely a red letter day for Club No. 2. There were about fifty present, who after singing Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow" par took of the excellent dinner so at tractively arranged by Scottie and her | willing and efficient helpers
 After dinner many willing hands made light work of washing and wip- ing the dishes and returning them to
 their places. Then what a buzzing
 there wast Everybody is always so
 happy at Club No. 2's meetings. Each
 seems to try to make everyone else
 happy, so of course they are happy
 themselves, and no discords.
 We were all glad to have Dearie with
 us once more, and she added to the joyfulness of the occasion by her skill
 ful playing of the piano
 Blossom, ever ready to do all she
 can for the good of all, added to the musical part of the program, followed by Joan, who played for the light
 footed dancers in the enjoyment o1 , the Virginia reel.
 : There were readings by Amanda
 Delilah Deal, Aunt Mary and recita. tions by Grandma H and Miss Nor thrup which were much enjoyed. Tax en all together, it was a most enjoy
 able day with not single thing oc 5 curing to mar the happiness of any l one, only the absence of those whom r we should have liked to have had mee : with us.
 I earnestly hoped that Uncle Sam |, Daughter would meet with us so W ! could all get acquainted with her, fac ! to face.
 | With love and good wishes for al 1 Social Corner Friends.

THOUGHTS FROM
 GRANDMA.
GREAT

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Coming to the city to spend the winter days with my daughter. l looked forward to Feb. 5th, as a day to meet the mem bers of the Social Corner. Not being able to attend the gathering and com fortably seated. I unused while tho fire burned and seemed to see the mem- bers coming from different directions leading to the Buckingham Memorial where happy greetings were ex- changed and preparation for the good things were dislayed. All being ready. I would gladly min gle my voice with others in singing the Doxology: Praise God from Whom i All Blessings Flow" knowing it would i give a nice relish to the good things to eat. Then the time of sociability when busy fingers displayed the bits of in ! dustry.
 ! As the time for parting came each ! one left with a hearty desire to make home and surroundings brighter and | happier.
 ] Thanks for the nice calendar. i Lovingly,

German RedCross
Efficient and
Powerful

| The German Red Cross, as is
generally known, was one of the
most efficient parts of the German
military machine. With millions OF
members, plenty of money and a
wonderful equipment, the German
society, because of its absolute con-
troll by the government in peace as
we'll as in war, was regarded by
the outside world as, being out of
harmony with the merciful spirit of
the real Red Cross. The fact that
the German Red Cross had refused
to subscribe to articles of the
Geneva treaty intended to prevent
abuse of the Red Cross emblem
strengthened this feeling.
All that has been said of the Ger
man Red Cross, especially the ref
erence to the manner i'll which it
was dominated throughout the mill
tary authorities, applies to the Red
Cross society of the former Austro-
Hungarian empire. Most of the
states into which these two great
monarchies have been divided will
undoubtedly have delegates at
Geneva.
The future of the relief organiza-
ton known as the Turkish Society
of the Red Crescent" which was
established in 1864, is problematical.
Little is known of the present con-
dition of the Bulgarian Red Cross.
AS Belgium has commanded the
the terrible struggle, so its Red
sympathy and admiration of the
whole world for its heroic part in
Cross society has won the conf
