THE CARE OF STEEL KNIVES

Every housekeeper has steel knives
10 care for. Net-every housekeeper
docs not know how 10 care for them
properly.
] assume that the housewife has been
wise enough 10 buy a good grade OF
steel for her cutlery. Only high-tem-
pered steel will take, and hold a sharp
edge. II docs not pay 10 buy a cheap
grade Of steel. Every home woman
should own carving knife Of high
tempered steel, a good bread knife,
and one small vegetable knife with q
thin blade and sharp point. Only vege-
table knives which are made of high
grade steel will give an edge sharp
enough 10 cut thin paings.
These better knives should, of'course
be used only for the purpose for which
they were intended. ] have seen house
wives, in a hurry, use high-tempered
steel knife TO turn food on a griddle,
hack at a meat bone, or pry of the
fiuted tin cover Of catsup bottle;
suCl uses are ruInOus 20 good knife
Buy a cheap steel knife and keep II ii
your kitchen TO use in such emergencie:
If you have not the proper utensils
and tools for these purposes.
But whether her steel knives be oi
a good grade or a poor, the self-re-
specting housewife keeps them untarn-
ished. There are manufacturers, today
who produce an "untarnishable" steel
knife, and these are really very good
have found that they donot tarnish
and can recommend them heartily. But
few of us can restock our supply closets

has a right 10 demand nj least asmuch
time off every week as a cook and nurse
maid get. She has also right TO demand
that her husband shall take her out
at least once week, and give her a good
timc.
Ga wife has n right 10 demand that
her husband shall make some real effort
10 make her happy. II isn't enough for a
man Just 10 feed and clothe his wife,
and refrain from beating her. Any able
bodied woman can earn n comfortable
living in these days, and generally with
less work and worry than II takes to run
a home. Also few women have either
parents or employers who nistrcat them,
so no woman is called upon TO be par
ticularly grateful 10 n husband who IL
decent 20 her.
But when a woman gives up n gooo
home, or n good job for q man, she has 8
right 10 expect him 20 give her his com.
panionship, TO show her tenderness, and
affection, and 10 pay her the little
attentions that fill a woman's life with
gladness, and that make matrimony
worth while, and repay her for all ths
suffering and sacrifices that wifehooc
entails.
"A wife has right TO demand that
her husband shall treat her with a
much courtesy as he shows 10 his stenog

These are the rights Of a wife. All tn

II wives should file bill of rights, as
some husbands have done IN New lork,
what should they dcmand9 They would
have right To ask:
THAT their husbands give them n
square deal when they sign them up
on the matrimonial contract. The most
cruel and dastardly crime that any hu-
man being ever commits rs when n man
marrics an ignorant and innocent young
glrl, knowing that he is dooming her and
her children to pay the price OF the wild
oats he has sowu. Compared 10 that
murder is an innocent pastimc.
The first right, then. of every bride
is 10 know beforehand the kind Of life
a man has led in his bachelor days. She
can take il or leave IL, but she at least
knows what she is doing. She isn't being
tricked into a bargain in which she is
forcordained 20 lose out
Nor has any man right TO marry
girl without telling her the absolute
truth about his income. Every woman
has right 10 know whether the partner
ship into which she Is entering Is n
gong concern, with the likelihood
of n prosperous future, or one that Is
hopeleSsly bankrupt. There are men so
/ loveable and fascinating that a crust
with them is better than a stalled OK
With another, but girl should be made
wise TO the situation and know that she

family income. No man has a right tC
humiliate his wife by making her come
70 him like a beggar for every penny
nor has he right 10 ask her how sh,
spends her own personal allowance.
3-A woman has a right 10 expect her
husband TO do his share towards making
a happy home. That Is a two-handeC
Job that no wife can accomplish by her
self No matter II n woman wears th,
smile that won't come of, she cant
make a cherry place of house IN which
4 man sits around as grumpy anC
grouchy as a sore-headed bear.
A wife has a right 10 demand som,
personal liberty. She is a far bette
nudge than her husband is of the thing
that Immediately affect her, and 1t is al
affront TO her intelligence 10 have to ash
his leave TO do this, and do that, as i
she were a feeble minded child. Th'
reason that so many widows bear the
loss Of their husbands with such Chris
tian resignation is because they arr

then dip the wet cork into the powder
from the bath brick and rub it on the

fiat on q piece OF wood when being
secured. II there are obstinate stains

raw potato cut in half, then use the

no air can reach the steel blade and

in a damp atmosphere will cause rust

precaution TO dry the steel blade
thoroughly.

TALES OF TOWN
GAME FISH UP STREAM

It's easy to drift as the current flows;
It's easy to move as the deep tide
goes;
hut the answer comes when the
breakers crash
And strike the soul with a bitter
LASH
When the goal ahead is endless fight
Thru sunless day and q starless
night,
Where the far call breaks on the
sleeper's dream,
"Only the game fish swims up stream"
The spirit wanes where it knows no
load;
The soul turns soft down the Easy
Road;
There's fun enough in the thrill and
throb,
But Life in the main is an uphill job;
And it's better so, where the softer
Leaves too much fat on weakened
frame,
Where the far call breaks on the
sleeper's dream,
Only the game fish swims up stream"
When the clouds bank inland the
soul turns blue
When Fate holds fast, and you can't
break thru
When trouble sweeps like tidal wave
And Hope is a ghost by an open
grave,
You have reached the test in a frame
of mind
Where only the cutters fall behind,
Where the far call breaks on the
sleeper's dream,
Only the game fish swims up stream"

There are such citizens in every state
who are not widely known and not
eminent, yet who cannot be spared,
who are worthy, If they were known,
TO be placed in the rank Of the great
by reason Of their qualities Of char

of publicity and do not figure in the
