x.Rax in Pearl Hunting.

During all tine centuries that the pearl has been used for personal adomment 1t mas previously been necessary to cut open each oyster of the pearl-bearing species to ascertain the presence or the absence of the pearl When no pearl was found the molluscs life had been sacrificed in vain. and any future chances it might have had Of developing pearls were ruined. But the X-ray is destined, according 10 a writer in Popular Science Monthly. to save the life of many precious oyster of this variety.
 This method" he says. was first sug- gested by Raphael Dubois Of Lyons. France, in 1901, but it was not tried out until recently. The pearl oysters that breed in Ceylon and Venezuela are thin skinned. and 1t is easy to discover wheth- CT or not they contain pearls. If no pearls or very small ones. arc discovered. the oysters are returned 10 the beds unin' jured. oysters having rough and irregu' lar shells are not SO easily tested. Only large pearls may be detected.
 ''In the places where pearl oysters ar, usually found labor Is very cheap. and ai vet the new method has not received i much attention. But as pesrl-bearin: oysters grow scarcer the N-ray will un doubedtIy become more popular.

the cffenss charged. The evidence was apparently 50 clear that a reasonable doubt could not be established. He was found guilty by those amongst whom he labofed. The court didn't consider the such as to warrant sen tence of less than five years in prison, and the pardoning of an ex-governor be- fore he has served any of his time does not speak very well for Vermont justice. The fact that he had been governor isn't
 sufficient reason why he should have been rendered immune for acts he com mitted before that time and which ap-
 peared to have been covered up, or acts
 for which there was restitution and for

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE

THE HOUSEWIFE
 To fry fish properly they should be put into boiling hot fat.
 Have all the bottles in the medicine cnest carefully marked.
 Home made quilts are generally more sanitary than cheap bought ones.
 Pack thin slices of apples in deep bowls between layers of sugar. Bake slowly.
 4 nutcracker makes a handy wrench when a salt shaker refuses to budge.
 When making mint jelly, wiring out the juice of mint leaves through cheesecloth.
 Reduce the week end work by bak- ing a. large cake and cookies early in the week. A good filling for brown bread sand wiches is figs and dates chopped and mixed with cream dressing. Tea, chocolate and cocoa stains are removed by soaking in cold borax wa ter.
 If fresh air-is good to cure sick, why not use it to prevent illness? Oi1cloth doilies with good designs in stencil have the two-old advantage of cleanliness and good looks. Plain cheese cloth dyed to harmon ize with the room, and left unironed is a good substitute for high priced curtain materials. A good scalloped dish is made witf tomatoes, corn and onions. l Bass, pickerel, pike, perch or porgy can be used in making delicious fisf | jelly.
 ] Cottage cheese is delicious wher minced pimentos are added to it. Flied ffnnan haddie and potato ball. are a good breakfast combination.

NEW USE FOR puvErYNE.

Duvetyn, which many people be- lieved had outlived it's smartness,<h has done nothing of the kind, for it has found a new field to conquer and is therefore quite content to admit that it is a velvet season for both dresses and hats. This new field is lining, and it is easy to see how cozy and deeora- tive a duvetyn- lined evening wrap would be. Brocade, satin, or any ma terial at all, irrespective of it's weight, may be lined with duyetyn. If your fur coat needs lining, consider the eff fectiveness of duvetyn, which comes in a range of colors that put the rain- bow to shame.
 Linfngs as whole are of tremendous importance, and plain fabrics often are banded or figured in contrasting ma terial. The handsomest fur and even ing wraps, if they are lined with bro- cade, have the lining yelled with chif- fon.

TO FREsHEN OLD DRAPERIEs.

Here are a couple of suggestions for freshening up old draperies so as to make them servieeable for the com ing winter:
 One of these is to crochet small clusters of wool flowers in soft shades and place them at intervals along the side and bottom of each of your cur tains. You can use small odds and ends of wool for these. They are easily made, being simply a small round shape, but with a alarming stitch worked in between the clusters, the effect is charming. A specially pretty combination would be curtains of rose with the darning stitch in black wool and flowers of old blue, lavender, vel low and pale pink and here and there 9 small green leaf.

REcIpEs.

Lemon Turnevers: Roll out scraps of pastry left from pie, making into rounds and place in the center of each two tabiespoonfuls of the following:
 Two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, the grated rind of one lemon, the juice of half a lemon. three tablespoonfuls Of of suagr, one scant teaspoonful of ground cinnamon, two tablespoonfuls of chopped seeded raisins and one ta- blespoonful of entrants. Fold the pas try over into half circles. crimp the edges together and bake in hot oven.
 Ssalloped Tomatoes: Mix two cups of soft bread crumbs (pieked in samll bits as, for stuffing) with one third cup of melted butter or margarine; toss lightly until bread has absorbed butter. Have ready two and one half cups of thick stewed tomatoes. Put a layer of tomatoes into the bottom of a well buttered baking dish, sprinkle with bits of finely cut green pepper
 finely chopped onion, a light sprinkle of finely chopped parsley salt, pepper and one teaspoon of sugar: cover with a layer of the crumbs. Repeat unti the materials are used. having 3 layer of the crumbs on top. Bake twenty

Those-enGaged in the pezrl-grow- ing industry cannot overlook the fact that with this highly perfected apparatus it will be possible to save growing pearls which otherwise would have been wasted when the shells had to be opened to dis cover them"
 With pearls becoming more valuabie year by year. this additional use for the x-ray will probably find favor generally among commercial pearl culturists.

KITCHEN HELP.

A wire letter basket is most useful in the kitchen. Baked potatoes ar ranged in it can be taken out of the oven, turned, and put back with no danger of burning the hands. Turned upside down it makes a fine rack for cooling bread or cake. It is safer than a tray for carrying small pieces of China between the dining room and the kitchen

MEASURING.

The bureau of standards has set the theoretical quantity a teaspoon holds as five cubic centimeters, but all spoons do not conform to this.
 The housekeeper measures with teaspoon and should fill it level" not "heaping."
 How many teaspoons does a pound of baking powder contain? Apparent ly the number depends on yourself, upon the spoon used, upon the bran of baking powder you buy, upon the can in the lot which you happen to get and upon few other factors which, though seemingly inconsequen- tial, do enter into the, problem
 A pound of baking powder lasts longer with some cooks than it does with others. In an endeayor to learn where the difference is made the ex- perimenta1 kitchen in the office of department of agriculture recently conducted a series of experiments, ac- eordlng to an announcement made by the department
 Various types of cooking teaspoons were first eXperimented with to de- termine the exact amount held in each case. Both the ordinary teaspoon and those measuring spoons" which are linked together in sets were tested. A variation of from 126 to f50 tea spoons was found in the same pound
 can when different teaspoons were used.
 The personal equation also enters | into the amount which is called a tea spoonful. It was found the differences 1 due to individual manipulation ranged ] from 10 to 30 per cent, a wider Varia- 1 tion than those due to the different 1 capacities of different teaspoons.

 Crying, turning the head from side to side, trying to put the hand on ach- ing side are symptoms of earaches. Earache very frequently accompanies or follows a severe cold or an attack of tonsilitis, and then is caused by an extension of the inflammation to the middle ear. This may result in deaf ness or mastoid abscess. Apply dry heat, hot water bottle or dry salt heat ed and placed in a sack or old sock. Drop into the ear a few drops of per cent. phenol in glycerin. Never neg iect earache. Have the child exam ined by doctor and if necessary by an ear specialist.

sters in that town have Invested $1,000
in United States thrift stamps this
year, thanks to their own hard work.
Boys and girls alike have welcomed
opportunities Of doing remunerative
dishwashing, sweeping, busting, store
clerking, -minding, errand-run-
ming, etc, with the goal of economy
symboiiZed by government stamps
ahead of them. The more ambitious
have undertaken cutting weeds carry.
ing coal, sitting ashes, selling papers,
raising chickens, cleaning pavements,
and some have even won prizes to add
to their savings. Having found that
time can be converted into money 1t Is
doubtful whether these boys will again
find the street corner a worthwhile
place for spending idle hours, or the
girls be content to waste periods in
