SUGGESTIONS FOR


 THE HOUSEWIFE Salt should be added to meat when it is half done.
 Save all flour bags to put white clothes away in for the winter.
 Chocolate is delicious sweetened with honey rather than sugar. Flavor With vanilla.
 A delicious filling for tea sandwich es is honey mixed with chopped nut meats.
 Sweeten fresh sliced pineapple with honey and serve on lettuce with may onnaise.
 Avoid putting wet leaves of lettuce in a salad, as the dressing will not cling to them.
 Ripe tomatoes will peel easily if, without cutting the skin, you go over the entire tomato as though you were going to scrape it.
 Delicious cookies can be made from the trimmings of pie crust. Knead the pieces together, roll out again, sprinkle with sugar and bake.
 Ducks are delicious served with tur- nips cooked in the same vessel.
 When you open jelly, or jam, don't throw away the paraffin top which protects it. Instead put it all in 8 box and when canning time comes it can be melted again and used over and over this way.
 Save the bran that sifts out of gra- ham -four until you have enough to make bran mullins. Make them the same as graham using one-half cup flour and the rest of bran.
 A snap clothes pin has untold pos abilities It is excellent to move hot dishes on the stove or change pie pans around in a hot oven.

 There has not been and never will be better time for this act than now, when so many are out Of employment.
 Connecticut should be found where she always is "in the right place at the right tinie'

SOAP BUBBLES.

Blowing. bubbles is an amusing pas tlmefor children. An oilcloth apron which will cover the child's dress and thus keep her from getting wet is ne- cessary for this childish pleasure. The aprons may be bought at any dry goods store and are often ornamented with painted animal border. No child would object to wearing an apron like this. One cake of any free lath- ering soap and a small bottle of glycer- in, which will prevent the bubbles from bursting when a few drops are added to the water. A wooden bubble blower is the best. as the clay ones break easily warm water is better to use, as the child will not catch cold when playing in it.

CARE OF PLANTS.

Heliotfopes, roses, geraniums and foliage plants, such as begonias, need the direct rays of the sun, otherwise they die. Palms, ivys and fern need no direct sunshine and can, therefore, be placed in northern windows.
 Many house plants die because wa- ter accumulates in the bottom of the flower pot. The pot should not only have a hole in the bottom, but layer of gravel, broken brick or stone should be put in for drainage.
