Wrong Method


 "I'm always interested in the meth ods women use to entrap their prey" admitted the girl who liked to talk. "In fact, I've grown so expert that after few minutes I can tell whether the man has chance on earth or whether the girl is wasting all her hard work.
 'sThere is one young woman in this town who is due to have headache pretty soon trying to figure out why the tall, distinguished looking man who was dining her at an exclusive cafe the other night sort of forgets to come around any morel She was talking so steadily and was, so interested in what she was saying that she failed to observe the note of polite ennui which crept into his tone when he made one of his infrequent remarks. She was ignoring one of the fundamental rules -instead of egging on the poor man to open his heart and talk about him self she made the awful mistake of anaIyzing her own ideas and charac- teristics and talking herself lover gen. eraily.
 ''When l first became conscious of the couple behind me in this case she was relating to him the sad time she had had with her divorced husband the line of rousing sympathy, you know. It seems in the first place that she al- ways had been resolved never to have anything to do with q man who drank, so naturally {. she married one who did.

To remove milkdew from clothes mix, equal parts of soft soap with powdered starch, half as much com mon salt and the juice of half a lemon. Spread this mixture over the mildew spots and then layA the ar- ticle on the grass day and night until stain comes out.
 Soap improves with keeping, and it will be found economical to pur- chase it in large quantities. Be fore storing it, however, the bars should be cut up into pieces of con venient size, for this is easily done when the soap is soft and new, but not when it has become dry and hard. The easiest plan is to cut it with a piece of wire or a bit of twine, in the same way that grOcers cut cheese.
 If you buy rib roast of beef have the butcher cut the rib end off so you can use it for delicious soup. If it is left on and roasted with 0he rest it is largely wasted.
 Whenever add berries, raisins, nuts, citron or anything of the kind to buildings or cake, I always roll them first in melted butter, then in the flour and they never fall to the bottom.
 Haddock, I think, is a tasteless fish, but served with an egg sauce, or with curry sauce, or a cream sauce poured. over and baked en casserole, it is very tasty. A nice salad is made from cold leftover fish.

MASTERS POVERTY

Horse Of ,PeddIer Or Junk Dealer Sel-
 dom Suffers Intended Cruelty
 Few of the small peddlers of junk dealers arrested for cruelty to their horses really mean to be cruel, Mrs. Jacob M. Ehrlich, president of the Horse Aid Society of New York, says. They are poor and ignorant. They don't want to abuse a horse, bat they reason that they themselves have little food to eat, often are cold in winter, have to work 14 to 16 hours a day. And they don't see why the horse should not share the masters hardship and toll.
 "I recall a man arrested for cruelty to horse," she said. 'He was fined $5, and this left him without a cent. His wife was ill, and he could not bear to go home to her with no money what ever for food or medicine, He had to get money somewhere; so he stole

working it for all it is worth. You can cure her if you have enough back bone to stand up and fight her.

Tell her that you do not like sulky ladies, and that every time she goes into one of her glo6ms that you are going out where you will find bright, cheerful people, She won't believe you have the nerve to do it, but if the next time she gets her precious feelings hurt you bang the door behind you and go out and spend the evening you can call her bluff. You won't have to do this more than two or three times before you will have her scared half to death, and she will be afraid not to be little ray of sunshine around the house.

Western Union Objects
 to Organized Workers

Chicago, June 21-The Western Union Telegraph Company has se- cured an injunction against the Broth erhood of Electrical Workers and oth- CT building trades unions When the company installs its service in huge office buildings that are being erected, 1t is often compelled to employ union electrical workers
 Occasionally 1t attempts to use un- organized workers and other building craftsmen refuse to labor with the non n-unionists- The company has had its onunionists work Saturday after moons, Sundays and at night when the building trades men were not em- ployed thereon.
 This has increased costs, and the company knows only one way to end this policy-use force. It has called on Federal Judge Wilkerson, of Daugherty-shop men fame, to issue an injunction against unionists walking off the job when non-unionists appear. The court granted hte request.
 The building tradesmen, however, are not awe struck at the mass of legal terms that deputy marshals hand them. The workers are suggesting to the officers of the court that they in form his honor no federal judge can compel them to work with non-' unionists.
