People are realizing
more and more the value
of the decorative paint
ings in modern houses
and apartments. They
appreciate a breath Of
fragrance and color or
the glimpse Of quaint
scenes and far-away
lands that these paint
ings bring. So many
rooms are grateful for
one of these paintings
with its lovely color sub
dued by time and it's
suggestion of charming
old-world graciousness.
Au Quatrieme, one Of the
most charming of decorative
canvases, is a painting Of a
small fair boy and a dog.
The color is very clear and
sparkling. This painting
would make an amusing

where they are now recognized

school is now rated as an A No. l

it have no trouble in entering the

this is due entirely to the efficiency

We think il unwise to make a change

their recent action.

them" What does this mean, it is
simply this: the mental, moral and
physical nature Of the child is more
easily moulded and more spliable at
those ages and can be directed for
the betterment of the child than at
any other time of life.
Fathers, Mothers, Citizens of Co
lumbus, are we doing our full duty
to these children, if we fail to see
them as they really are in the school
rooms, over-crowded and with un-
sanitary conditions, dark painted
ceilings, ETC., no shades to the study
hall windows, a source of injury to
the eye-sight.
We Mothers of the Parent Teacher

aware of the conditions generally and
have used to the best advantage the
money we made last summer during

needs. We appeal to you Father
citizens of Columbus, and invite you
most earnestly to come and visit the

Save Dollars

Care used in saving and caring for
all fat obtained from cooking meat
in the home will save many a dollar
which otherwise would have to be
spent for butter, lard or other cook
ing fats. Fats derived from the
cooking of bacon, ham, chicken,
beef and other meats should be kept,
each i'll its own receptacle, to be used
for different purposes.
Household specialists in the
United States Department of Agri.
culture say an old-fashioned method
OF clarifying fat from :he soup ket-
tie or from cooked meats so that it
may be used in the kitchen is to add
the cold fat to a liberal quantity of
cold water. then heat slowly and lei
cook for an hour or more. When
cold the cake of fat is removed and
the lower portion, which will con-
tain the small PARTICLES of meat,
should be scraped away and the
white, clean fat saved. If the flavor
or color, or both, are not satlsfac-
tory the process may be repeated
several times. Another method
often recommended is to cook a
number of slices of raw potato in the
boiling fat.
When an ice chest is used fat i'll
small quantities may easily be kept
sweet for cooking purposes. If. lard
is rendered at home in quantity
sufficient for a long time it should
be kept covered in tins or earthcn
jars in a cool, dry place. as in Gel
lar or storcroon.
