GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Laura A. kirkman.
ANSw Erred LETTERS.

John W.--:'Will you suggest something
for the house that can give my sister for
birthday PRESENT. She has vacuum
cleaner and a tireless cooker, and | q like
to give her something else to make the
work easier
Answer--lf your sister does not al
ready own a tea-cart or tea-wagon, she
will be sure to appreciate one. lhis Is q
great labor and step-saver and can be
used in many ways. It reduces the num-
ber of trips necessary to set and clear the
dining room table, and can also be used
to carry the clean dishes from the drain
board, after washing, to the pantry.
EN-. S-"Will you please tell me what
Waldorf Salad is?"
Answer-Wa'dorf Salad-Equal parts
of chopped celery and apple, to which add
either maraschno cherries, chopped nuts,
pimentoes or strips of green pepper.
Serve with mavonnaise or French dressing.
Housekeeper--''We have just had a
bathroom with up-to-date plumbing In
stalled in our old-fashioned home. Will
YOU please tell me what fixtures and
furnishings | ought to get to make 1t
comfortable"
Answer-The bathroom is the one
room in the house that does not require
much furnishing, but it wants enough.
You should provide one glass rod, TO hold
towels and face cloths, for each member
of the family, and a long extra glass rod
to go above the tub for extra bath towels
and the bath mat. These rods are not
EXPENSIVE and are better than the nickel
rods, which soon rust.
You can have built in. or can buy ready
made. q medicine cabinet to hang over
the wash-bowl: this should have a mirror
ON the door and beneath it might 90 a
glass shelf to hold the most-used toilet
articles At one side there may be u COM
bination spap-dish and tumbler holder
A larger soap-dish may hang over the
edge of the bath tub. There may also
be an enameled stood, and a bath seat that
hooks over the sides of the tub.
Either clothes bag with an open neck,
a hamper, or a three-cornered fibre case
for soiled clothes will be needed Hooks
for bathrobes may be screwed into the
back of the door and a small rubber
shower spray must not be forgotten.
Another great convenience for the bath
room is a pair of metal forceps to hold
soapv tissue paper for the daily cleaning
of the flush closet.
Mrs. L.. How can | freshen up some
dusty old oil paintings
Answer-Wash them carefully with
soft cloth well wrung out of warm soapy
water, washing and drying a small area
at a time When the painting is thoroughly
dry give it a thin coat of linseed oil,
rubbed on with clean soft cloth.
Bride-"Can YOU recommend any book
that deals with the finances of the house
hold?'
Answer-There are two very good
books that deal entirely with this subject
II YOU will send me a stamped, self
addressed envelope, will be glad to send
YOU the names OF these books and prices

This he wished to do so that he might
have a chance of finding a princess who
would wish to sail away on bis back, which
he tells me you did wish, and the rest YOU
know"
sBut the Princess Viellal How did she
become changed?" asked Gamma.
Viella blushed but did not reply, SO her
lover, Prince Cionne, answered for her:
s'She asked to be changed into dove

The old witch had given him the
power TO build by magic q palace such

az this power he was able to amuse him.

when the Princess Niella reached the
Blue River she had with her a flock of
doves which she had made friends with
ON the way. and when my brother saw
them he thought of the strange way of
lighting his room, which you saw. He did
not know Niella was among the flock, for
She could not speak, either, so he charmed
them all to obey HIM and carry the lights.
There was but one way for us all to
escape. This the old witch laid upon all
three: Our heads must be fed to the
Silver Dragon living on the Silver River,
and the head of the Peacock must be the
first and struck off by the hand OF
princess.
The other two he could strike off, or
anvone who would do it could break the
spell and that is eur strange story, Prin-
cess. and YOU have saved us all.

Dreco is not a cure-all but is an ex-
cellent remedy for rheumatism, ca
tarrh, blood disorders, liver and kid
ney trouble and constipation. There
are many diseases that are due in the
beginning to faulty action or sluggish
ness of the organs of elimination. If
these organs fail to perform their
duty as intended by Nature, the poi
sons that should pass out of the sys-
| tenn, remain and are sucked up by the
| blood and carried to different parts
Of the body. Such troubles as gas on
the stomach, indigestion, sick-head.
ache, poor circulation, cold feet, poor
appetite and nervousness can be
traced in many cases to poor elimina
ton.
Dreco is now sold by all progressive
druggists throughout the country and

Richmond until some major infracton of the

Its rest place. I gather a thousand
or more invisible chords (all 1magi-

tightly some garment, under chill.
I pull at one chord slightly, and
from some distant place-no matter
how far-I catch the warmth of one
who believes in me and whom l mus
