SUGGESTIONS FOR

THE HOUSEWIFE E Don't buy kitchen tools which will seldom be used.
 Save all waxed paper that comes into the kitchen. thoroughly greased.
 A double wire broiler is the best thing for broiling.
 Use an oil polish mop for all floors except waxed ones.
 Left over cereals may be used to thicken soups, stews or gravies. An excellent breakfast food is Drowned bread crumbs and cream. In the washing of gloves, whether leather of fabric, avoid hot water. If potatoes are cooked in an iron pot they have much better flavor. Never eut meat into water to wash it, but wipe with a damp cloth.
 When you rip an old garment, first cut few stitches with the scissors, then pin the material to your knee and rip with a sharp knife.
 Always keep half a lemon handy in the soap dish to use after washing your hands.
 Coffee tapioca is as easy to make as any other kind, and is an agreeable change.
 If you have several parts or rolls of light wall paper, just try using them wrong side out. They make a very pretty tan room.

HELPING RUSSIA

Seemingly 1t has taken a long time to realize the necessity of fighting bolShevism in this country, but even now while we are putting forth cer- tain efforts 10 decrease the menace here Elihu Root former United States senator and former secretary Of state. who was at the head of the mission sent to Russia by President Wilson declares that Russia is the place for Americans to fight and de- stroy bolshevism. We are fiddling around here with a few boIshevik agents and the men who have gained control of old Russia by the use of German money, by the use of merceuary troops, by the exercise Of a tyranny and terrorism and cruelty never surpassed in history those men are using the resources of that great rich country to pour out a steady stream of propagandIsts, who laugh at our feeble efforts. : < The way to destroy beIshevfsm Is to put the strength and heaEtiness, and courage and hope of prosperity into the people of Russia who are ready themselves to destroy bolskevism if they can but have the means to SUD- port life, and to hold themselves to- gether."

COLLARS FROM DoILlEs.

With the present vogue for fiat biblike collars, round or square, and odd shaped, dropping cuffs, comes chance to utilize old-fashioned lace of doilies.
 Two doilies of equal size are requir- ed for cuffs. Tie linen centers should be carefully ripped out and the edge of the lace pasted to the edge of the sleeve, from which it will fall in graceful. rippling folds
 The collar doilie should be somewhat larger than those used for the cuffs After the linen center is removed. de- eide whether you wish the collar to fasten on the shoulder or in the back If the doilie is round, all you have to do is to cut it in one place and them the raw edges. and it is ready to be worn open either at the side or the back
 But if it is square and the open ing is to be on one shoulder. one side will have to be cut and faced or hem med. after being fitted and a tuck taken in the opposite side to make the collar fit smoothly.
 Of course. if the doilie is quite large and the neck line rather low, the lace need not be cut, but just worn slip over fashion, pasted or pinned in place.

THE vEaETARLE SALAD.

If your family is not very fond of leftover soup, try the leftover salad. It is just as good a way of utilizing the odds and ends of leftover vege- tables as is soup.
 Of course, for a salad the bits of vegetables must be neatly cut. For the soup pot they need not be. But for salad they must. Cut them in neat dice or in strips, or cut them with a fancy vegetable cutter. Then, usually, the next step is to let them lie for a couple of hours in a little French dressing, on the ice, where they will become thoroughly chilled and ripened. The dressing should be made of three parts of good salad oil and one part of vinegar or lemon juice, with any desired seasoning. Salt should always be added, and pepper of some kind. For many vegetables a French ressing in which chopped parsley has steeped for a few hours, and then been strained out through a piece of gauge, is good. Or the parsley may be steeped just in the vinegar or lemon juice.- Onion juice may be added to the dressing if you like the flavor of onion-and there are many good cooks and eaters of salaos who think no salad is complete with out a taste of onion.
 For a vegetable salad the lettuce may either be arranged with whole leaves, placed cup fashion, or else the lettuce leaves may be shredded with scissors into strips, and the strips piled neatly in mounds on the plates.
 Be careful as to the combinations you make. Your own taste will prob ably tell you what vegetables go well together. Celery is a wholesome ad- ditions to almost any vegetable com hination. String beans go well with diced beets, flowers of cauliflower, green peas or sliced tomatoes. Cucum- Der and tomato combine well and cucumbers also go we'll with celery. Celery or minced green pepper may be added to potato salad. Diced car rots and peas are a goo combination. Corn cut from the cob goes well as. a filling to hollowed out tomatoes.

colored ebmroideries from losing tone when washed is to put them through bran water. The bran may first be boiled, the water strained off and the bran then added to the water in which the work is to be washed in the proportion of handful to pint of warm water, or the bran may be boiled in a bag so as to be strained by one and the same process.
 Fine lingerie must not be dried out of doors on windy day that is cold enough to freeze. The combination of freezing and heating proves to much for the clothes. They freeze stiff, are beaten against one another and the line. and bread. Suchthings must be dried in the house and if clean att tic or empty room can be used for drying room, the task is much sim pliied. The windows should be open ed and the heat should be turned on, so that te air will be fresh and dry.

ApMIRAL SIMS, CHARGES.

IT there has been much interest aroused by the letter of Admiral Sims 10 the secretary of the navy regarding the injustice in the way in which the naval decorations were about to be awarded. it will be greatly increased by the statement which has been made by the admiral to a sub-com- mite of the senate naval affairs com r1ittee during an investigation of the awards that it has underway, which matter by the way sinks into insignif1- cance compared with the new charges made

DARK coLoRs IN SILKS.

Tn the realm of silks for afternoon wear almst all the dark colors are finding acceptance. taupe and the chinchilla shades being selected for daytime clothes as are navy blues, plum and dark red. Printed chiffons are regarded very favorably by smart dressmakers for afternoon gowns for autumn and winter.
 Patterned fabrics of sheer material have been so popular during the sum- mer that it seems likely that their vogue will continue into autumn. For instance. taupe crepe de chine or chif- ion, figured in delicate designs in shades of dull blue. leaf, plum or flesh is exceedingly effective.
 Among the tones which are being selected for evening frocks are bright blue, jade, mauve and sorchid. Tur- quoise is another shade making a strong bid for popularity, and a soft silvery gray and a soft orange hue are also conspicuous on the modish color card

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Black frocks are worn merely as backgrounds for brilliant brocade vests or girdles.
 Many of the smart evening gowns use as trimmings large wreaths of flowers and foliage.
 Dainty blouses have little aprons, front and back.
 Shiny black satin ribbon is much used as binding.
 Every airy little dress has to have it's touch of lace.
 Mole waistcoats are excellent with brown velour suits.
 Plaid umbrellas are an agreeable change.
 New coat models are frequently very straight and unbelted.
 Both dinner and evening gowns have sleeves which are hardly more than caps.
 The gayest of skirts are being shown in the shops. The big side pockets are a feature.
 Judging from the winters fashion notes there are to be a good many coats with detachable capes Some times little fur cape is to part of a cloth coat-a detachable part that may be put on and taken off the coat at will

TO THE EDITOR
Doctor Not Admittinn euiI.


 MT. Editor: As counsel for Dr. At- chison we wish to call your attention to an article published in your issue of Jan. If, 1920, concerning the doc tors case now pending in the super for court.
 This article was so worded, that one unacquainted with the legal signifi- canoe of the proposed disposition of the case might conclude that pr, At chison was admitting guilt in the mat ter. Such is not the fact, Dr. Atchi- son has and does deny all guilt in connection with the same, and would never consent to any disposition of the case that would impute any guilt to him. We feel it our duty to our client and the public to call attention to this
 The truth is that Dr. Atchison from beginning to end would never consider a plea Of guilty, and has insisted upon the establishment of his innocence by trial. The proposed disposition of the case has been entirely at the instance "f the subscribers, his attorneys.

REclPEs.

Baked Oranges-The irmest quality of oranges should be used. Peel four oranges carefully, removing all bitter substance left after peeling the fruit. Slightly separate the sections at the top and insert three almonds in each orange. Place in small stewpan and sprinkle well with one cup of sugar, add water as for baked apples, and bake in a slow oven for one hour to one hour and half to prevent burn ing. Serve hot. using half a cup of marshn1allow dressing.
 Christmas Dreams Prepare small rounds of bread toast delicately and butter on both sides. Have prepared one cream cheese. softened and rub bed smooth with one dessertspoon of cream and one dessertspoon of vine gar. Chop one sweet pepper. half red and half green: mix with the cream cheese. Spread rather thickly on the rounds of toast and place in a hot oven for five minutes. Serve hot or cold. These are much liked and cas- fly made.

Stories That Recall Others
Needed the she-t One.

The head of the family was invar- iably lengthy in saying grace at the dinner table. The children expected it and had been taught to be very rev. erent during that period. In the ab- sence of the father the mother was accustomed to be brief-possibly as a reward for their good behavior when father was home.
 But the other day when they came to the table very hungry indeed, there before them was plate of fried chicken and large lemon pie. Father took his place and looked around to see that all hands were folded and all heads bowed. They were and he was just preparing to bow his when six-year-old Bobby said in an ason- izing tone: "Qh, mother, don't you

ABOUT POTATOES.

When potatoes become old in April and up to June it is wise to pare them early in the morning and let them soak in water for several hours, in order to restore moisture they have lost. The same treatment will help those that we get in July and August are ripe and are indigestible, as any green fruit would be, so never give them to children or invalids

 Having been on a visit near the Ma son and Dixon line Q profess onal man was presented small bottle of whis- key. He didn't like the smell of it and in fact couldn't have used it any way, so disposed of it by giving it to a colored fellow who had been doing some work about the place. It was a day or two before the man showed up again but when he did he was asked how he liked the wniskey.
 "Jes' right, boss" said the former plantation worker. Tt was jes' exact ly right. Elf it had been any better you wouldn't have gave it to me and ef it had been any worse couldn't have drunk it."
