Household Hints

If a. lump of soda is dissolved
In the blue water on washing day,
it will prevent the blue from
marking the clothes.
When cooking rice or maca-

stated in the recipe, as so many
quickly made dishes can be con-
cocted by their aid.
A quarter of a teaspoonful of
baking powder added to mashed
potatoes while beating them will
make them light and fluffy.

Here is an exercise which is
going to help you remove Just
that pound or so overweight
from your hips, and which YOU
will enjoy taking mornings in
your room with your windows
wide open.
Stand perfectly erect, extend
your right arm straight at the
side, place your right hand upon
a mantelpiece, chair, or other
supports, and extend your left
hand straight out at your left.
With all your weight on your
right foot, lift your left leg

straight-to take level Of your
waist.
Now move your left leg, still at
the level of your waist, in a cir
Gle, backward, until it extends
directly back of you. Next swing
it to the front again, and return
to position. Try this exercise
two or three times, then reverse,
adjusting your left leg and arm.
Each morning repeat this exer-
else a few more times, until you
can easily go through with it ten
times with each leg. There will
be distinctly good results discern
IDLE in a short time if you are
accurate in cory movement,
keeping your knee perfectly
straight and YOUR toes pointed.
