More care In loading cars will pre-

bureau Of markets, United States De-

methods Of loading and types Of con-
tainers In use. Shifting Of the loads
In transit, weak and partly filled pack
ages. and lack of proper ventilation
are found to be responsible for losses
In many cars arriving at markets. eau
tiOn against loading diseased potatoes
Is also urged because Of the large
number OF shipments that show scab,

are practically worthless when they

There is one serious objection to this

Queen talking witt, Moonbeam Fairy.
Instr~ ! of joining in the revels as
was h custom. she kept on with hcr

cd tn have much Ia tell her.
All the heltcrlng. skcltcring little
winds were tumbling over ono another
in n game Of tag with the Dust FAIRIES
and the Water FAIRIES were flying hither
and thrhcr playing at hide and sock.
But after a while they began to wonder
what the Noonbcam Fairy was telling
the Queen. and when she beckoned 10
them as she did just then, they ran 70
her side eager to listen 20 what the little
visitor was saying
ut was last mig hi that ! decided to
tell YOU about the m. the Moonheam

Open HheIvee In your kitchen and
pantry may have a quaint look hut
they are less desirable than the closed
sort because they do not keep out tho
duet Dishes that are not used every
day have to he washed afreeh when
they arc kept on open shelves OF
course there is the advantage that
open shelves are less expensive than
those with glass doors, and this is
something to consider now that build
ing costs are still so high
As substitute for the glass door
on an open shelf a curtain Of un-
hleached muslin or some other closely
woven cotton fabric Is good idea
This might hang by means Of rod
rings from the curtain rods so that II
can be easily drawn back and forth.
Rear in mind that II should he washed
fairly often The rod rings for that
reason are not so desirable for they
are difficult 20 put through the wash.
You might then put the curtain In "A
slot hem right over the rod or you
might hang IL by means Of small cur
tain pins attached 10 the rod rings.
Give up the idea of using shelf paper
on your shelves. IL is anything but
sanitary. and II you have any insect
pests or mice in your house then the
shelf paper is a perfect nuisance.
Your shelves may be enameled white
SO that they will look just as attrac-
tive. and shelves so treated may be
wiped off as often as you wish without
possible injury TO the finish.
Shelves may be made especially use-
full IL you have them fitted with cup
hooks You sh 1uld have some just the
size for cups and others larger on
which MAJ be hung milk and cream
