Everyday Helps
Juicy Pies.

Juicy Pies.
When making a juicy pie, say,
berry or rhubarb, try sprinkling a
tablespoonful of instantaneous tapi-
oca over the bottom crust instead Of
-four before putting the filling in and
see how much nicer it is.
Eliminating the Waistline.
With the prevailing fad for sweat
er and skirt wear, comes the unde-
STABILITY of the double waistline.
This can be eliminated by adding to
the ordinary camisole length strip
of material to correspond in color
and texture with the camisole prop
er. Join by narrow seam and finish
by inserting rubber in bottom which
will hold camisole in place at same
length as sweater.
Salt Cellar Tops.
When the silver top Of an individ-
ual salt shaker becomes corroded
and can not be removed, if immersed
in good vinegar for several hours
the corrode will all have disappeared
and the top will be removed without
any trouble.
To Tighten Sewing Machine Belt.
Instead Of cutting and resplicing
your sewing machine belt when it
gets loose, put few drops of pure
castor oil on the band, run the ma
chine few minutes and the belt will
be tight again.
Snaps again.
If your bingham dress is trimmed
with chrocheted or other fancy but
tons that you do not wish to risk in
washing, put snap on the button
and the mate to the snap on the
dress where the button goes. After
your dress is ironed it is a simple
matter to snap the button trimmings
in place instead Of bothering to sew
them each time.

Sometimes milk delivered as early

This is wrong. If the milk can not

is poured from it, and only what is
needed for immediate use should be
poured out at a time The bottle
should be kept covered with a paper
cap or an inverted tumbler as long
as there is milk in it,
New milk should never be mixed
with old, unless it is to be used at
once; the old milk is likely to con-

Some persons even go so far as to
say that milk or cream that has been
exposed to the air by being poured
into other vessels for table or cook
ing use should not be poured back
into the general supply.
AS soon as a milk bottle is empty
it should be rinsed first in cold and
then in warm water until it appears
clear; then set bottom up to drain.

er possible, because one gets the
benefit of wholesale prices. Such
meats as hams and bacon will keep
Indefinitely and may be prepared in
such variety of ways that even
people keeping house in a mere
kitchenette should seriously consider
the advisability of buying and stor-
ing larger quantities of ham and
bacon than are needed for one meal.
Shoulder hams Called picnic hams"
in some stores) are delicious meat
and are cured as carefully as the
larger hams made from the hind
quarters. The shoulder ham does
not yield the large, beautiful slices
that the larger ham does, but the
quantity is equal, and for sandwiches
is excellent.
By-PrOdUcts of Meat.
The thrifty housewife will watch
and use all the by-products of her
meats. A pound of bacon yields
about cup of frying fat, excellent
for frying eggs, potatoes, scrapple or
mush.
AS to shortcomings, although it is a
temptation to buy the exquisitely
white pure leaf lard, beef and even
lamb drippings may be used Also
many women have as yet never test
ed the merits of the many cheap
shortcomings made from vegetable
oils, which may be used undetected
by the most fastidious palate in bis
cults, mullins, cake or pie crust.
Some of these vegetable oils require
little salt to make them taste like
butter in cooking.
No amount of economizing will
suddenly bring down prices of foods
or anything else, but our manipula-
ton of our own budget will make a
big difference in our own finances.

HA AA meats which are cheap at the
moment?
Nutrition and flavor are to be had
quite abundantly from many cheap
foods as from expensive ones, except
in the case of such products as are
Of bad ingredients put up in an I'M
sanitary manner. Any family can
subsist well and maintain excellent
health and efficiency on what are
known as the cheap cuts of meat,
and they can secure a wide variety
of the daily menu.
Why not learn to use such meats as
tripe, liver, tongue brains, heart,
kidney, head, feet, tail, sweetbreads,
the rump, shank, plate, brisket,
chuck neck and flank? How many
housewives ever ask for one of
these?
Stews and Soups.
Stews and soups are rich and nu-
tritious and many may be made
from the neck of beef or from the OK
tails or the shank of ribs, flank or
plate.
Stews, pot roasts and soups from
the brisket, chuck or the heel of a
round steak are excellent. With
cheap vegetables, such as carrots
and usually onions or potatoes real
ly delicious soups may be enjoyed.
Then there is hash, which, despite
its having been a subject for humor,
is thoroughly good food, often cost
ing practically nothing, since much
fat and little lean may be used. All
the fat left from a cold roast should
go into hash.
Concerning Sausage.
Bacon and ham, all the sausages,
dry and wet, as well as corned beef,
are less expensive than steaks and
very wholesome. Many Americans
regard sausage as an appetizer only.
Italians. French and Germans for
years have used it as a hearty meal.

LONDON, July 11.-Friends of
beautiful Princess Marie, held in jail
charged with the murder Of her hus-
band. Prince All FANNY of Egypt, will
attempt to obtain her release on bail,
II was learned today
Their efforts probably will be fruit
less, as persons held on a charge Of
murder usually are not permitted to
be freed on bond.
The princess was reported about TO
undergo an operation and II one is
necessary, she will be compelled TO
content herself with a room in the
prison hospital.
Authorities do not seem willing to
acecde to requests OF the princess
for special privileges. They have
granted her only one concession.
Yesterday, when she was leaving the
hotel for Jail. she asked she be per
mitted to ride in a taxicab instead of
the black maria and the police con-
scented.
It was learned today the princess
embraced Mohammadism to overcome
objections of the princes family
The prince was found MORALLY
wounded in his suite at the Savoy
hotel yesterday morning.

was talking with Ralph Epson IAN
other pilot in Detroit recently and
we came to the conclusion that in all
probability when they were coming
down they decided to cut the basket
from the bag. Roth stayed In the
basket and Lieutenant Null roped
himself to the bag. OF course, when
the basket was cut loose the balloon
might have shot up about thirty thou
sand feet. If that was the case Null
might have become unconscious from
the lack of oxygen and dropped from
the bag, falling either into the lake
or in some woods"
Had Two Chances for Lives
Lieutenant Shoptaw asserted that IL
Lieutenant Roth and Lieutenant Null
did undertake such a hazard they were
taking two chances Of being saved
whereas If they remained in the bas-
ket they had only one chance.
Under the circumstances I believe
that is what I would have DONE" said
Lieutenant Shoptaw
Lieutenant Shoptaw said that he
and Lieutenant Olmstead saw H. E.
Honeywell and Roth behind and be-
low them early Thursday morning.
Storm Causes Worry

Shoptaw said. 1T had us worried.
1t was a terrific thing. I know Lieu.
tenant Roth got the worst of it. We
were worried for ourselves at first
but later we became alarmed about
Honeywell and Lieutenant Roth"
Lieutenant Shoptaw said that his
balloon flew over the entire length
of Lake Erie.
Lieutenant Shoptaw asserted they
could have flown over Lake Ontario
but they were fed up" on lakes
I'VE arbitrated for a while what
we should do Shoptaw said. Finally
we decided to fly close to the ground
and let the current take US southeast.
We were in danger Of being blown

Lieutenant Shoptaw expects to sail

MOST FIRES, CITY
REPORT REVEALS
Loss in Mile Square Is Held
Down by inspection,

Sparks falling on wooden shingle
roofs caused the fire department to
answer GAL out of the 1854 alarms in
the first six months Of 1928, according
to report by Jacob Z. Riedel, chief of
the city bureau of fire prevention to
Fire Chief John J. O'Brien today.
The most alarms answered in one
twenty-four- hour period was on Feb.
%, when sixty-eight were answered
and f1fty-seven caused by sparks on
single roofs.
The estimated fire loss for the six
months amounts to S750,0O0 on build
ings and contents. Riedel reports
that within the mile square there
were only ninety-eight fires in that
period.
Causes of fires within downtown
districts were found to be careless

the living conditions of the families
of men who formerly failed to provide
for their wives and children before
debauching.
In this series of articles an attempt
will be made 10 record the present
situation as regards the legal manu-
facture and distribution of alcohol
and spirits in the United States, and
to describe the Illicit trade Of snug
glers and bootleggers. The effect of
prohibition on crime. the problems
which confront enforcement officers.
and the present popular attitude of
various important groups of the popu-
lation win likewise be discussed.
Pre-Volstead Consumption
During the five years before national
prohibition became effective, the an
nual consumption Of alcoholic bever-
ages amounted to approximately g.
100000 900 gallons Nearly 90 per
cent Of this was beer. which totaled
2 900, 600, 900 gallons. Distilled spirits
totaled aobut 100 900, 900 gallons and
wines aobut 50,00O,000 gallons
The present consumption of beer
Is negligible. Beer worthy of the
name may only legally be obtained
on prescription by q physician.
Wine is stin being consumed In i'm
portant quantities, for It is available
Oh prescription from a physician and
also for sacranental purposes. Dur
ing the year ending Feb. %, 1923, T.
469 900 gallons of wine was legally
consumed in the United States. This
amounted to over one-seventh the pre-
prohibition normal consumption. Most
of this Went to Jews. who are author
lied to buy a maximum of two gal
Ions a year for each member Of their
families.
Whisky may be lawfully obtained
only on prescription. During 1922
the lawful consumption of whisky
was slightly under 100000 gallons,
or one-seventy-fifth the normal con-
sumption.
Whisky Drinking Effective
Illicit consumption Of whisky, how
ever, is very extensive. While beer
and wine are relatively difficult to
obtain illegally because of their bulk,
whisky is everywhere to be had.
Bottlegging Of beer or wine in suf
ficient quantities to be profitable is
extremely difficult. Beer containing
more than the legal quantity Of al
cohol is frequently to be had at near
beer breweries, and is also sold at
many bars. but the restrictions are
sufficient to keep the total consump-
ton down to a very small fraction
Of the pre-prohibition figure. The
same general situation applies to wine.
The high prices men are willing to
pay for whisky, in contrast to the
amount they will pay for beer and
wine, has melted tremendous trade
in illegal whisky and gin.
Much of the illicit whisky and gin
is made from grain alcohol now be-
ing lawfully manufactured in the
United States and diverted from law
full to unlawful channels via flavor
ing extract, hair tonic, tooth paste and
liniment factories. Druggists and
chemists also are authorized to with
draw from Industrial alcohol plants
and bonded warehouses such quaint
ties Of grain alcohol as they require.
