SPECIAL CLEANING FOR LACE
Directions for Washing Curtains o.
Collars Given by Department
of Agriculture.

Certain articles in the wardrobe and
household require special cleaning If
their use Is TO he properly prolonged.
Among these comes lace. The United
States Department Of Agriculture gives
the following directions for washing II:
Measure before washing if. as in the
case of curtains or collars, IL Is i'm
portant to keep the original size and
shane. Very delicate lace should be
basted carefully on a piece Of cotton
cloth and washed on that TO prevent
stralning the lace. Wash in lukewarm
water and soap solution, squeezing
rather than rubbing out the dirt.
Bleach by setting In direct sunshine
and keeping moist with soap or bOrax
solution. Rinse thoroughly. Restore a
faded cream or ecru color by rinsing
in clear coffee or tea and stretching
Immediately; the color of the liquid
as seen through a tumbler held up to
the light should be the same as that
desired il the lace. IN drying, stretch
on a padded board and pin into Its
original shape and size. Net or lace
curtains may be pinned to a sheet On
the floor or, better, placed on a curtain
stretcher adjusted to the desired size.
Lace may sometimes be cleaned by
covering II with warm French chalk,
allowing II to stand overnight and then
shaking thoroughly.

SCHOOL LUNCH MUST
BE MADE ATTRACTIVE
Quite important to Avoid Un-
wholesome Foods.

Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture
Growing children have special needs
n the way of food. Even when they
Eat all their meals at home, it is no
easy matter to see that they are prop
erly fed, and when they eat part Of
heir meals at school the difficulty Is
'ar greater. This is not because
lea%lthfulness and cleanliness are
more important in this meal than in
any other, but because they are hard
sr TO secure. 1t is not easy to keep
'Ood clean and attractive when 1t

HINTS SUGGESTED ON BAKING
Ovens Are of Varying Sizes and Con.
struction and Same Results Not
Always Obtained.

Ovens Of varying sizes and con
struction do not always bake in the
same way, wen though the thermOm-
eter may record the same temperature
in every case. A joint will roast, or
a cake or loaf Of bread bake quite as
well in a large, heavy oven (coal
range, heavy 'firelesS' gas range) at
a temperature so degrees lower than
in g smaller, thinner walled gas-range
over through which a blast Of hot air
is rapidly circulating, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
The larger sizes of loaf. roll, muffin.
potatoes and such usually require low
er temperatures for longer periods,
and the smaller sizes higher tempera-
lures and shorter periods, other things
being equal.
The shape of the loaf or roll is i'm
portant. A half-pOund sponge cake
or angel-fOOd cake baked il a Turks
head pan Center tube) stands a COM
paratively high temperature better
than does the same weight Of cake
baked as an ordinary loaf.
The composition of the batter or
dough largely governs the baking tenn
p%erature. A plain loaf cake contain
ing comparatively little sugar egg and
fat ii. e., a 'chPap" cake) requires
greater care and a more gradually ap-
piled heat than does a richer cake: II
should, therefore, be put into a cool
oven in order to get the best results.

CHAPTER "
The Room Was Deadly Still.

Inc Room was Deadly Skill.
Buckeye was the capital of the Flat

the bluffs where Eagle run breaks into
the valley Of the Wabash. II never
woke up but once-when a rumor
trickled in from somewhere that q
railroad was headed that way. But

back to sleep, and the big world for

eyes twlnkled happily as he saw the
child smile!
At last morning came and Santa
Claus was back home. His shop was
quite empty of toys. His pack was
quite empty, too!
Boy of the North, his dog, well
coined him with banks of joy and
Santa Claus sat down by Boy of the
North and strOked him.
Boy of the North" Santa Claus
said, and Boy of the North wagged
his tail, 'Ive been thinking of my boy
hood"
Boy of the North raised his ears DO
litely and Santa Claus continued:
Yes, I've been thinking of my boy

might think. For, these are the days

So you can see my age Is rather bard

days hat are to come. For my heart

"Ah, some have to think very hard

gay, too happy for him to grow really
old.
Even my white hair has not made

Santa Claus gave a long whistle of
delight.
But, there is a little secret, Boy OF
the North, and | will show ii to you,

Santa Claus then went TO a cabinet
and took out his magic telescope
through which he could look and see
Into the rooms where the children were
with their Christmas stockings and
their toys.
DO you see the children smile?s
Santa Claus asked Boy Of the North
and Boy of the North wagged his tail
az Santa Claus gave him a look
through the telescope.
Then Santa Claus looked through
the telescope and his face now was
all smiles.

SO the SNOW Flakes accepted the

Soon evening came and over the

reindeer. They were all there, rush.

I'll make them bulge with nuts and

A hush fell owe the group. The
blacksmith sat patting his foot softly
on the floor. Presently his calloused
hand came down upon his knee with a
sounding slap, while his eyes, dull at
most times from long looking into the
forge fire, lighted with the fervor of
his feelings.

The tisherman's lone eye settled into
a vacant stare at a crack in the floor;
the hard lines OF his face deepened.
Could the others have glimpsed back
