There are housewives who would
like to have mullins every morning
for breakfast, but feel that it is too
arduous a task. If they will try
this method of taking time by the
forelock, they need not dread the
| morning hurry.> All work seems
lighter if done in the waiting bits
while supper is cooking. and every
night grease the gem tins and
stand them at the back of the
range. Into large bowl place the
-four, corn meal, or rye meal or
graham -four, the necessary salt,
sugar and baking powder. 1t Is
but a minutes task to beat one or
two eggs, according to the recipe,
adding necessary milk and beating
into the dry materials. The muffin
tins are ready by simply heating,
and the family enjoy hot muffins
with their coffee and marmalade.
II an housekeepers would try a
plan of a reserve dinner" they
need never fear any inconvenience
when the husband telephones that
he is bringing home a guest, or
when friends appear unexpectedly
to stay to lunch" Have a shelf
in your cupboard that always holds
some canned goods that, with the
help of fire, can be made into a
delicious meal. Soups, extracts of
beef to make Douillon, canned meat
which can be simply heated and
served with a thickened gravy or
made into croquettes; a few of the
best quality of canned vegetables;
and some canned peaches, pears.
and strawberries; and canned
plum pudding. Thus with very
little labor, you can serve soup,
meat and vegetables; make a salad
dressing for either egg or vege-
table salad and sauce for pub
ding; or beat ten cents worth of
thick cream and have canned
peaches. with whipped cream. Also
keep a few choice crackers in jars
plain ones for soup, and fancy
dainties to serve with desserts if
the cake tin should be empty when
guest happens in for a cup of
afternoon tea. AS one can is used
replenish the supply, so you are
never at loss for an unexpected
dinner.

Dear Mrs Thompson: Please
print remedy for blackheads. The
blackheads in my face tester and
make pimples. Also a cure for bit
ing the fingernails.
BLUE EYES.
To cure blackheads make an ONT
ment or one ounce of soap liniment
and one ounce of ether; mix. At
night scrub the face thoroughly
with hot water, using a complexion
or other soft brush. After wiping,
apply the mixture to each of the
spots and let it remain on over
night Wash off in the morning
with hot water. Continue until the
spots have disappeared. Then twice
a week wash the face with this mix
ture, removing the liquid at once
by rlnsing with clear water II
there are large pores, wipe over
each with a little alcohol.
For pimpies that frequently ap-
pear with blackheads make an ONT
ment of two grams of beta napthol,
20 grams of sulphur precipitate
and 20 grams OF potash soap. Rub
over the pimples at night.
This may be used at tho same
time as the blackhead mixture.
For biting your nails, dip your
finger tips into aloes. They are
very bitter and usually after the
lips have tasted the bitterness a
few times it is easy to remember to
keep the fingers away from the
mouth.

Menu Hint.
BREAKFAST
Baked Apple Cereal
Poached Eggs
Toast Coffee
LUNCHEON
Potato Souffle
Stuffed Green Peppers
Canned Fruit Sponge Cake
DINNER
Broiled Fresh Fish
Lemon and Parsley Sauce
Boiled Potatoes
Baked Bananas with Currant Jelly
Drop Cookies Coffee
If green peppers are not avai1a-
BILE. leftover meat croquettes may
be substituted, or hash or toast for
lunch.
The fish may be plain or pan
broiled. In the latter case grease
the spider little and when hot put
the fish in, skin side down, cook
slowly and when the fish seems to
leave the bones remove to a hot
platter, season with melted butter
and pepper.
Remember that the secret of
savory boiled fish is that the water
in which it is boiled be well halted.
This doesn't mean that any sprink-
ling of salt is sufficient. 1t means
that as much as an ounce of salt
to a quart of water should be used.
When a fish is to be steamed, it
should be placed in an earthern
dish. and then little vinegar
should be poured over it. It should
then be placed in the refrigerator
for a couple of hours, we'll covered.
Then the vinegar should be drained
off and the fish is ready for the
steaming process of cooking.
To freshen salt fish always re-
member that you should place it in
the water with the skin side up, the
flesh side down. The salt then as
it soaks out of the fish sinks to
the bottom of the dish. If the skin
side is down the salt soaks into the
fish and is caught by the skin, and
so there is as salty a taste as ever
when the fish is cooked, for the salt
has all collected in the skin.
Remember that smelts spoil more
easily than most fish, and should
therefore be kept most carefully.
When you are cooking oysters in
their shells always place them in
a pan with the rounded sides down,
to hold as much juice as possible

! think My heart is broken and I
don't feel that I can give him up,
but | do not want to marry a man
who does not love me.
What would you advise me 20
do? POLLY
would advise you to release the
man, because you would not gain
happiness in marriage without your
husbands love. Let him go and be
brave and hopeful. Happiness will
come to you in one way or another
if you look for it and earn it.
ALBERT c.: Nowadays it is Diff
ficult to Judge mans regard for 4
girl from the fact that he kisses
her. The kiss may mean nothing
or it may mean a great deal. Some
young men kiss because they think
the girl expects it and because they
enjoy kissing. Other young men
are more careful and they do not
kiss unless they feel a deep affec-
ton for the girl.
Most girls say that they don't
like to be asked If they can BE-
kissed. They prefer to have the boy
try it SO that they can show him
whether he can or not You should
use your own judgment and If the
girl is reserved, it might be safer
to ask. Do not kiss for fun: kiss
for love-

Dear Mrs. Thompson: In August
I became engaged to a young man
and directly after moved away from
that town with my parents. We
correspond almost every day and
he has come to see me often.
Now have received letter from
his mother inviting me to spend
Christmas at their home. My
mother and father are willing [
should go, but they say it will be
more expensive than l thought il
would, and they wonder if 1 ought
to use money which would buy
pretty things for my wedding out

In the letter from my fiznces
mother she said my f1ance would
send tickets. Mother and father do
not think 1 ought to accept them.
What do you think? ANXIOUS
1t will be perfectly all right for
you to accept the invitation and
the railroad tickets.
