For The
Homemaker's Eye
To Whiten Linen

10 Whlten Linen
Linen which has become an
ugly shade, owing to bad wash
ing, can be improved by bleach
ing. Soak the clothes for twenty
four hours in water in which a
tablespoonful of borax to- every
gallon has been dissolved. Then
wash them thoroughly in hot
water. Wiring out, pIace in the
boiler, cover with cold water, add
a pound of soap cut in shreds to
every four gallons, a handful of
soda and tablespoonful of cloudy
ammonia or turpentine. Bring
slowly to the boil and leave for
about fifteen minutes. Do not put
too many things in at once, as the
articles must have sufficient room
to toss about. Turn them into
tub, cover them with the water in
which they were boiled and leave
them to cool. Wiring the water
slightly from them and spread in
the sun or hang up to dry.
Sprinkle from time to time with
water as they dry. When good
color is obtained rinse in several
tepid waters, blue them and dry
again.
The Virtues of Common
Yellow Soap
Common yellow soap will stop
a mouse hole effectually, make
bureau drawers and windows
which are inclined to stick work
smoothly, relieve the pain from a
burn, combined with brown sugar
will bring painful gatherings to a
head and will draw splinter
from under the finger nail, mixed
with stove blacking will lessen the
labor of applying and improve the
result, will stop leak in a boiler
in emergency cases, will serve as
a substitute for wax to point
darning yarn, rubbed on a nail
prevents the wood through which
it is driven from splitting. The
inner wrappins of soap are useful
to clean flatirons. The unpleasant
creaking of doors may be rem
edied by rubbing the edges with
soap.
CaulihOwer Sprays
Take some cooked caulifiower-
preferably little undercooked-
and break it into sprays. Dip
these into thick white sauce so as
completely to cover them, and
leave them in a cold place to set.
Then coat them lightly with
breadcrumbs, brush them over
with beaten egg, again cover them
with breadcrumbs, and fry them
lightly in hot fat. Send to table
very hot and garnished with
sprigs of parsley.
Vinegar as Destroyer of OdOrs
Vinegar as destroyer of odors
is most useful. To remove the
odor and taste of onion from a
fryingpan pour a little vinegar in
the pan and let it get hot. A cup
full of vinegar added to the kero-
sene used in cleaning the bath tub
will kill the disagreeable odor OF
the oil. When boiling cabbage or
turnips a saucepan of vinegar on
the stove and allowed to boil VIII
correct the odor which is SO
offensive and penetrating.

Tim as he saw a mouse running toward
them over the snow.
The visitor was not the same color as
Reddy and Tim, so they knew he did
not belong to their family
'Halloa,' said Tim. Where did you

'IIave you got anything TO eat7" asked
the visitor, without telling his name.

You have not told us where you came

Il lived in a house nearby until the
people moved away and left a bare closet,
replied the visitor.

food you had before they moved so you
would not be hungry asked Reddy.
Mother always keeps plenty on hand 7

Tim.

Reddy did not ask him inside the nice

Just then along came Father and
Mother Field Mouse, and when they saw
the poor, shivering little visitor they asked
their children why they had not asked

Poor little fellow He is almost frozen

Mother Field Mouse.
This is little House Mouse and we
must take care of him until it is warm

But he did not save his food when he

To sleep in despite the fact that the
ground was covered with snow.
Their mother and father had made Moe
tunnels beneath the snow SO the little
mice could run about and find grass seed
and things that the snow had covered,
but they had never run up 10 the top TO

But one day their parents were away

WHY
WHY is THE CENTER OF A
FLAME BLUE7

Copyright 1920. by Wheeler Syndicate. Inc
The color of a heated object depends
largely upon the temperature TO which
IT is subjected When, for example. poker
IS placed III IA fire, 10 will first turn dull
red, then bright glowing red and finally
glarlng white. The same principle applies
to flame, the outside Of which is far
hotter than the inside, and gives of n
brighter light in consequence. This diff
ference in temperature is due
10 the fact that. the outer
portion of the flame only comes in con-
tact with the oxygen of the air, while
the inner part has to be content with the
small amount of this inhamable gas, which
reaches IT, still unconsumed
Where combustion is fastest and
most complete, there the heat is greatest
and it is for this reason that the outer
part of flame is bright yellow while
the interior is dull blue In fact, if
flame be very carefully arranged, a match
may be held in the center of il without
taking fire for an appreciable length
of time-thus conclusively proving the
material difference in temperature between
the two parts Of what we consider as FIRE >
