civic pride. Such man, or woman,
is distinct asset TO any community
Too often town suffers because
its ciizcns immcrse themselves in the
business of making money. to the
utter exclusion OF all other consider

Improvement is only brought about
when the people ms body nrc will

Conditions in our own community
would be better, and life would he

spirit of local Improvement and the

Again we suggest that i; is time to
look over the field and see if there is
any one in our midst who is likely

If there nre any such persons the

which Christ taught should prompt
us TO put JOY into their hearts on

SUGGESTIONS ron

THE HOUSEWIFE
Slices Of green pepper are good cook
ed with cabbage. Il
Celery may be curled by cutting the
ends and crisping in water.
Caf51age may be cooked with celery,
creaaned and served on toast
Melt little cheese in the white sauce
in which you scallop onions.

saves the crust from becoming soggy.
Small strips of sandpaper fastened
along the edge Of shelves in the china
closet will keep the dishes securely no
right against the wall and stopj them
from Slipping down.
Add quarter Of teaspoon of baking
powder to the potatoes as you mash
them and they win be lighter.
Linoleum should not be washed with
water often. Water rots the surface and
makes places for microbes to settle.
Lemon juice will remove inG spots if
applied Immediately. Squeeze the lem

ing water over IT,
To wash greasy tins pour a few drops
of ammonia into every greasy roasting
pan after half filling with warm water.
Save old felt hats and cut in squares
and use when lifting hot utensils from

grand jury and the trial of the men held.
They viii have an opportunity to ex-
plain their duties and their actions to

but what arouses quite as much interest
as the prosecution of those responsible
