ooNsEEvArIos AND EFFICIENCY.

Social Corner Members: The conser- vation of wood as we'll as gas is in order now. By opening the cold air draft enough so that no smoke escapes, the wood VIII last much longer if one wishes slow fire. A range has so much capacity that many kinds of work can be done if one plans for the undertak- ing.
 Canning tomatoes by baking is practi- cal Now I am canning peaches, and pears; some cans are filled with both kinds with sweet apples added. dripping pan with an inch of wa ter is used to set the cansSin with GOV CTS partly fastened down. The cold pack is fine excepting the large air space when the fruit is cold. Extra fruit is cooked on the top of the stove and when the cans are taken from the oven I re. move the covers and press in more fruit and seal quickly.
 When the laundry york is being dont the cans of fruit in the oven are cook ing and will be ready to seal as SCOT i as the clothes are on the line. Fuel i. saved in this way. There is space enough at the side of the pan to bake two kind of food. This leaves the top of the stov, free for ironing, boiling and other do rnestic purposes.

WASHING AND DYING coRsETs.

Social Corner Sisters: l have been wondering what success others have in washing corsets. I lave been doing some experimenting with such pleasing results that I am going to give you the benefit of it
 I placed the corsets on the scrub-board and scrubbed them with stiff brush. Thus far it is, of course, an old story, but invariably while they came our clean they were of grayish cast. so I dyed them with pink soap dye, scrubbing that in also. In spite of the experience of some of the sisters in using soap dyes. I had good luck. With little practice a good shade of pink can be obtained. A sunny, breezy day should be chosen, as it is essential that the corsets dry quickly.

CANNING AND DRYING CORN.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner Most everyone is anxious to can corn but many refrain because they have such bad luck with it.
 If certain precautions are taken, the chance of fiat sour" is greatly miniln- ized in canning corn. Freshly gathered young corn is the kind to can. Rapid packing after blanehing. and quick cool ing after the period of processing (out of a draught, however, or the jars may crack) are other important requirements It is always safer to blanch, cold-dip and pack only one jar of corn at a time if one person is to do the work alone, so that the product has no chance to deteriorate from standing in a warm place for mo- ment
 The exact method of canning is is this: Remove the rusl and silk from young ears of corn and blanch (on the cob) for five minutes if the cob is small and for eight to ten minutes for larger cobs. Cold-dip quickly, score each row of kernels and cut the corn from the cob. When cutting, hold the tip of the ear in the left hand and cut the outer part off then scrape 'he pulp by pressing tine back 1 of the knife along the cob; this leaves the kernel husks on the cob.
 Pack the corn at once into hot steril- ized jars stood on a cloth wrung out oi | hot water and fill to within one inch oi ] the top, using a wooden spoon. Add one. half teaspoon salt to a pint size jar ant one teaspoon of salt to quart size; il
 with boiling water to overfiowing anC l partially seal Sterilize in your wash boiler for 160 minutes Cor three hours)
 making sure that the water is at leas
 one inch over the top of the jars, and no
 beginning to count the time until thu
 water boils again after the jar is place,
 in the canner. When the period of steril ization is over, completely seal and coo
 as quickly as possible. Invert to test fo
 leakage and store.
 Drying COrn-Young, tender corn is al
 most as necessary to use for drying as fo
 canning. Husk and silk it, then boil
 on the cob for three to five minutes, ac cording to the size--fve for large ear. Cold-dip quickly and cut the kernels froI
 the cob as in canning. Srpead the cor in a thin layer to dry. Start the dryin
 at 110 degrees Fahrenheit, gradually rais
 ing the temperature to 145 degrees FaI
 renheit. Three and a half to four and l half hours will be necessary to dry I completely. Pour the dried product int
 bowls and stir several times Q day fC l two or three days to insure a uniforml s dried product. Store in fibre containel :. in cool. dry, well ventilated place. d If the housekeeper has no commerce. h dryer, she may improvise one by stretc |. ing cheesecloth tight over a wire fran d spreading the corn on this. and placing
 in her oven, leaving the oven door slight e open, with thermometer to guide her n regard to temperature. Corn dried in tl e way must be soaked for several hours (
 restore the moisture) before being cook n for use for the table.

WHAT TO HAVE FOR xr.,s

Dear Corner Sisters: Hese are some suggestions as to selecting breakfast, dIn- ner. supper or luncheon dishes:
 BreatZfast Dishes-G) Cereals. as oat neal and eornmeal, with considerable fat n composition. are better adapted to cold han to hot weather. Also, to eat with lhem. select such foods as are deficient in lat !. e, choose rice. wheat or barley cereals to eat with bacon. ham, sausage, .hope or steak. and select oatmeal and sornneal when fish or eggs are the main Hsh of the breakfast Either of these cereals eaten with cream or evapcrated milk and some form of bread with butter and sweet fruit as bananas, dates and aES. furnish satisfactory meal without ither additions
 Os With bacon, ham, sausage, chops ,lamb or pork), the cereal may be omit cd and an acid fruit, cooked or uncooked. ls provided Potatoes are not necessity bread be supplied. but are a welcome lddition to meat,
 (D The beverage for breakfast is q Rnfter of taste, though cocoa, milk, grape picp or water are the drinks most suit nis tor ehildFes.

DO IT TODAY.

Corner Friends: There is something you must do. something you dread to do. some thing about your house-do 1t today. That is the best advice in the world. And it is given with the hope that soma housewife who read it will be inspired thereby 10 put of procrastination and do that thing which she has dreaded and the contemplation of which is causing her mental discomfort. Almost every one of us mas some task that we would rather not do-sonnet thing we must do but sor,,e- thlng that we don't want to do. 5
 For instance. 1t may be that last spring we threw the winter coats into a trunk without having them properly brushed and laid away in camphor We meant 70 get al t right away, but we didn't They are still lying in that trunk. And We dread 10 get at the job because there is the chance that they have become notheaten as a result of our careleesness and We don't want to find this out. Oh. pr course, we intend to get at them some une-why not do it today?
 And there Is that letter. You didn't Nrite It when it was due. and then you yut IL on because you didn't just know aow you were going to explain delay Ano now you have doubled the delay and You Know you simply must write it sooner pr later. but you are dreading it-whI not uo 1t today? It won't take more thar Ten minutes and after you have written i, and sent it on you will feel 50 much freel in mind.
 One of the hardest things that tn, nouse"ife or anyone else has to bear 1, me thought of such little tasks and dutie, ieft undone. Really, wouldn't life b, sasier if you didn't have any such or1is nons to ponder? Why not do those thing, oday?
 Success and long life to The Cornsr

FOR THE HOSPITAL.

Sisters of The Corner: People are growing more and more to think it wise to take as much illness as possible out of the house and go to a hospital. where everything is convenient and ready at hand If one has not had experience in a hospital it is well to know what to take with them.
 Of course. the most necessary clothing is the nightdresses of which there should be plenty. Have them fairly heavy and if you can a few made to button or fasten down the front from top to hem. A bed jacket of some sort is useful, as this can be skipped over the nightdress. Two or three wash cloths. pair of bed slippers and a neg ligee is about all.

The use Of excess profits tax for
