Your Home and You
By HELEN KENDALL The Orderly Cellar
By HELEN KENDALL

"Do tell me what you meant by the attractive coal bins of which you wrote recently" writes reader of this department. My cellar Is the dreariest place in the world. The furnace coal is dumped in one cor ner, where it gradually trickles out over the floor. In another corner is a pile of wood for the fireplace, and here and there are old oil heat CTS. dustpans, ash cans and other Undiscovered articles. I cannot bear to go down there, yet there is no ing the coal itself. How shall I man- age to secure an attractive coal cellar?"
 Well. to begin with. the services of>a carpenter Cor good substitute in the way of husband) will be re- quired. Build in, along one wall, series of bins to hold the different kinds of fuel you use. The woman referred to in the earlier article used camel coal in her fireplace, alter nately with wood, SO she had three bins in her cellar. Just over each bin was an opening in the cellar wall through which the fuel could be sent down chute directly into the bin. These bins were painted black, not only because it showed the grime less quickly than natural wood, but because the paint tends to preserve the wood in damp weather-and q damp cellar! On the blackboards were painted in clear white letters the names of the various kinds of fuel.
 ,, The front of each of these bins is composed of three wide boards, all though these do not show In the sketch. As the coal or wood gets lower in the bin, the top board is lifted off, then thes second board and even the third, to make access to the fuel easy. The boards rest upon each other between grooves and are easily removed.
 Now as to the junk" that is standing around, why not build in one corner cupboard or closet large enough to hold the cans, unused stoves. and the like? The floor of the cellar could form the floor of the closet. so that articles could quickly be dragged in or out.
 There is no reason why a cellar should not have it's own kind of good looks, instead of being a dusty, dis orderly heap of fire materials, dis used implements, cast-off iron, and worn-out utensils.

"HUEVOs RANCHEROsn

I am afraid that my untutored feeding habits will prove of little in- terest to those culinary sharks who make fine art of running good vic- tuals with sauces, weird flavors and French names.
 Having been raised on COW ranch my gastronomic fancies still lean to- ward the primitive. Food three times a day with plenty of black coffee is my real faborite dish. Even Sam. the negro hasher on the ranch, once remarked: My God, MT. Tex sure do eat odd"
 Anyway, if such rough and tumble eaters as Rex Beach and Arthur Vance can horn into print with what they know about cooking I will not be abashed. Reach's idea of a light snack is roast young COW 'larded with boggitse of pork and about five loaves of bread. while Skipper Vance had the most awful appetite of any one I ever met. He was a cheese ad- dict. The habit had terrible hold on him. His favorite varieties were those early French kind. most of which dated from the Reign of Terror.
 However. here are the building plans and specifications of one of my favorite messes. known on the border as "Huevos Rancheros' or ranchman's eggs. It is fine for breakfast, dinner or supper, but mostly for breakfast, as it Is guar anteed to wake a sleeping dinosaur. Careful observers have claimed that this dish is what makes the Mexican insurrecto so full of truculence.s A simple breakfast dish invented by the Yaqui Indians and very popular among the bandits in Mexico. It can be cooked on a camp fire. volcano or a kitchenette. Take stew pan. frying pan. tin can or any similar vessel without holes in it. Put a quantity of chilli gravy in it diluted with water. You can. buy the chill dn any grocery.
 This chile Is by nature hot and full of pepper. Let it simmer awhile un- til it practically boils. Then take two ordinary eggs and break into this stewing gravy. Poach the eggs in the chilli
 When poached dip the eggs out into plate and pour little chilli over them. Put out the fire. The eggs are now ready to eat. They should be eaten like any civilized poached GEE. but amateurs are advised to have

Recent visitors from Florida tell of

Recent visitors from Florida tell of petticoat government In Daytona.
 Will women in public office prove more economical than men? This is one of the many big questions that have been asked concerning women in politics.
 'Women cut corners closer than men," says one who has Just come from Daytona.
 "A woman is usually more con- scientious. and follows the golden rule more closely" suggests another recently back from that lovely re- sort.
 And, if you will notice," say others. they will bother with annoy ins, harassing details longer than men,"
 Daytona boasts three women in public office-the mayor. city clerk, and executive secretary in the Cham Der of Commerce. And everybody is highly pleased with the way they are running things there.

But others will know that he is a fool and If you escape a life of mar When you dream that a man is pleading with your mother or father to induce you to marry him. beware. of manliness before accepting him. Let every man speak for himself;
 the worlds too wide To let another chooce a true mans

 An extremely happy marriage will be your lot if you turn away from several men all of whom seem to court you. Usually, this dream brings you vision of 8 ball room or a home where an entertainment is in progress. You will be like the poets ideal who

If you dream that you reject a man you may take 1t as an unfailing sign that the young man who has shown admiration for you, but whom you have so far not encouraged, will tu- timately be accepted by you. For yet you listen-'tis enough Who listens once will listen twice, Your heart, he knows, is not of ice, And one refusal no rebuff.

"One Trick aDay"
A WINE AND WATER TRICK

This puzzle, or experiment., ys- quires degree of skill and patience. However, the tesults are so reward. ing that it is worth the trouble.
 Take two wine glasses of the same size and fill one with water and the other with wine, or any other liquid which is lighter than water.
 Now cover the glass of water with a card and place it upside down of the glass filled with the lighter liquid, so that the two brims fit ex- actly on one another. Then move tho card just sufficiently to leave . small opening between the two glasses.
 The water immediately begins to flow into the wine, and the wine, which is the lighter of the two, mounts into the glass on the top.
 It may take an hour to complete the experiment., but at the end of that time you will see that the water has driven the wine into the Upper house."

There Is one simple. safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackheads. that is to dissolve them.
 To do this get two ounces of calonite powder from any drug store-sprinkle . Little on q hot, wet cloth-rub over the blackhcads briskly-wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big blackheads. little blaekheads, no matter where they are. simply dissolve and disappear. Black heads are a mixture of dust and dirt and secretions that form in the pores of the skin.
