GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
By Laura A. kirknan.
A GOOD HOME DINNER.

1t is surprising fact that in the average
home cabbage Is never served in any
dressed up" form-especially when serv-
ed in conjunction with corned beef. The
housekeeper who has never offered her
family Braised Cabbage will be surprised
at her farnilys delight in it. The follow
ing dinner menu calls for this dish.
Corned Beef
Boiled Potatoes Braised Cabbage
Coffee Peach Shortcake
Braised cabbage cabbage, 2 onions,
IA cup butter, IA teaspoon pepper, 3
cloves, 2 green apples, / tablespoon salt
y cup vinegar, / cup water. Melt the
butter and add chopped onions and ap-
piles. Cook these ingredients together for
minutes, then add the cabbage shredded
with the other ingredients. Cover the
saucepan and let simmer for 213 hours.
Peach shortcake-4 cups flour table
spoons butter or oleomargarine, / tea
spoon salt, 3 teaspoons baking powder,
2 eggs, 81 cup milk. Mix the dry in
gradients together, then rub in the butter
with the fingers. Beat the eggs light and
add the milk to them, then stir milk and
eggs into the -four. Mix well and spread
in 2 creased layer cake pans. Bake In a
moderate oven, then split each of the two
(thus making four layers and butter them
well. Place one layer on large cake
plate, cover 1T with pared and sliced peach
es which have been allowed TO stand for
ten minutes In enough sugar TO sweeten
them well; put on another layer and cover
this one with peaches In the same way
continue this process until all four layers
are well spread with the sweetened, sliced

which has been beaten for short time
with an egg-beater. CThe peaches, too
may be of the canned variety if desired.

rugs of rags; | mean Wiltons and imi-
tation Oriental rugs If this is true,
please tell me how to wash mine, for j
have been married only a short time and
have never before had this problem to
face"
Answer-It is true that any rug can
be washed if the colors are fast. First
get it free from dust by beating it or with
a vacuum cleaner, then prepare heavy
lather (as heavy as shaving lather) OF
any good white soap and water. With q
soft brush this suds may be spread on the
rug, always with the thought in mind OF
keeping up strong frothy lather. After
applying, rinse it off with soft cloth OIL
a sponge which has been wrung out OF
warm water. Do only small portion at q
time. Rinse each part as you work, being
careful to change the rinse water as soon
as it becomes dark In color.

FAT TOMMY.

Tommy was a very fat little boy, be-
cause he was always eating between
meals
"You will be so fat you cannot walk, =
said Martha, the cook, one day when she
found Tommy eating up her newly fried
doughnuts. 'eYou will soon roll about like
big pumpkin"
Tommy often thought about this, for
he did not wish to become pumpkin
or roll about, but he did not stop eating.
One day his mother packed basket
with cookies and bread and jam for
Tommy to take to an old lady over the
hill.
"Now, mind you don't eat anything
that is in the basket" warned Martha,
who knew more about Tommy and his
appetite than his mother. and there
are some cookies for you to eat on the
way"
Tommy began eating as soon as he
started and by the time he reached the

VALUABLE MISTAKES.

When YOU use your mistakes as object
lessons you are putting them to valuable
use.
You can't go through life without
making thousands of mistakes. The
same thing with your job. You are
bound to make mistakes in it. But
don't make the same one often. Don {
let a mistake get into a habit. Make
If a lesson.
An engineer | know told me that he
learnt more frbm his mistakes than
he ever had from his textbooks. Mis-
takes are the reverse side OF experience,
and success needs them. There are
several wrong ways OF doing almost
everything. You viii understand the
right way better, and follow it more
surely, when you have discovered that
you are liable to go wrong by making a
mistake.
1t takes courage to face your mistakes
squarely, acknowledge them and set TO
work TO study them In order that you
VIII never repeat them. To be knocked
out or discouraged because you have
made a mistake Is foolish and worse,
it is eowardly. Be as sorry as you
like, but don't be scared. Someone
has said that our life is built on mistakes.
This Is putting 1t bit strong, but 1t
shows that it hits the truth, that
mistakes are constructive. They teach
you. yourself. And the conquering of
them, the retrieving Of a mistake, is
a triumph that is good medicine for the
human being.
Use your mistake for all it is worth
Understand it thoroughly. Then drop
it, Don't worry over it. That is really
the only bad mistake to make, for you
can't get any good from it. Worry
ing is Killing. The right attitude toward
a mistake makes it already less of one
than it was. And to use it thoroughly
is to change it into an asset.

top of the hill he had finished all his
cookies.
As he was fat little boy, he had to
rest when he got to the top SO he sat
down in the shade of tree.
"I'll just take one cookie ont of the
basket" thought Tommy. "rhat will
never be missed. !"
He did, and then he took another
until he ate them all and then he fell
asleep, and the next thing he knew he
felt himself swelling up,
He looked at his arms and legs as
they grew shorter and shorter and then

growing larger every minute and turning
yellow.
Tommy knew what was happening;
he was turning into pumpkin and would
have to roll instead of walk.
He was so frightened that he tried to
Jump up and run, but he only succeeded
in turning over, and to his horror he
began to roll down the hill.
Over and over he rolled until he won

he was quite sure that he might be a
pumpkin after all.
His mother told him he could never
become pumpkin, but that he might
get so fat he could not run il he ate
so much, and after Tommy had prom
ised never to eat things that were not
meant for him again, Martha put some
more cookies in the basket and Tommy

He never goes TO the top of the hill

and you may be sure he does not eat so
much and has become a nice, plump
little boy instead Of a fat one.

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid arvon
from any drug store (this is all you will
need, apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most if not all, Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruf you may have.
You viii find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.

The Itching Torture
of Skin Diseases

1t will not be so difficult TO
rid yourself OF skin diseases if
you will but realize that these
troubles originate in the blood,
and if you expect real substantial
relief you must treat them through
the blood. Millions of tiny disease
germs find lodgnent in the blood,
where they multiply rapidly and
attack some part of the surface
of the skin where there can be no
resistance.
Realize then, that you can
know no real and genuine relief
until these germs are eradicated
from your blood.
S. S. S. has given great salts
faction in the treatment of skin
diseases, because it is such a
thorough blood purifier. 1t
cleanses the blood of all accumu-
lationS and thus frees it of the
germs that attack the skin.
Why not use this intelligent
method of treatment? Begin to-
day to take S. S. S. and discard
all local treatment which can give
nothing but temporary relief. S.
S. S. is sold by all druggists.
