MENoING CURTAINS

Now is the time to look over the
supply of net curtains, preparatory
to laundering them. DO not throw
away any OF them, as every bit Of
net. will do for patching. The new
est and easiest way to mend torn
curtains Is to cut squares of net
large enough to amply cover the
torn portions. Dip the square IN
cold starch, place it over the tear
in the wrong side and press with Il
hot iron. of course, TINS must be
done after the curtain is laundered.
BY this method the edges OF the
two nets will adhere snugiy and the
rent will not be noticeable.

SUGGESTIONS THAT
ARE USEFUL FOR
ALL HOME MAKERS

1t 'is wise to open the can of
asparagus from the bottom. Then
the stalks can be removed easily
without breaking the tips.
If the powdered sugar has been
bought in a bag, transfer it to d
tightly covered jar when YOU arrive
home and thus prevent it forming
into hard Jumps.
So many housewives use their
good tea towels osremove hot pans
from the stove, frequently causing
ugly burns in them. Why do this
when an'iron holder can be pur-
chased for 5 cents and answer the
purpose so much more satisfaetor-
lily!
Never soak soiled clothes in hot
water over night. Soak them in
cold water in which handful of
borax has been dissolved. Then in
the morning when you are ready to
wash use the hot water and suds.
This method will remove all dirt
and make the clothes beautifully
white.

GRAPES CAN BE
USED MANY WAYS
IF COOKED RIGHT

{
Now that grapes are used fol
/ table purposes more largely than in
| former wears, the woman-ln-the- home
finds herself somewhat at a loss
as to how to use them other than us
fresh breakfast fruit or luncheon
dessert. The grape ensists mostly of
Juice, skin and seeds, or so 1T seems
to the person trying to use them in
recipes. This is on reason that
grape juice is favorite product
of the grape.
The most delicious grape juice
for cooking purposes, or as part
of those delicious beverage concoc-
tious of which it forms Il part,
is the kind made without heating
the grapes to extract the juice.
There seems to be little, if any,
doubt that heat, unless more care
fully controlled than is possible in
the home, affects the flavor of the
grape to some extent.
To Get Juice
To extract the juice by the
above mentioned method, wash the
grapes thoroughly and remove
them from the stems. Place them
in clean Jars and add sugar, using
two-thirds of cup of sugar to two
and half cups of the grapes in
a quart Jar kIll the jar with boil
ing water and seal In six or eight
weeks the Juice is extracted and
has = fine flavor. Concord grapes
give Il juice Of especially fine tia
vor. Catawba grapes also have
desirable flavor and deep red col
or that is especially fine Tor use III
punches or desserts.
\ trappe of cooked grapes has a
sharp, piquant flavor that is pleas
ing ana refreshing. Catawbas are
good for this. Use quart of the
grapes, stem them and cook them
for 10 minutes in three cups of wa
ter. Press the grapes through a
sieve, add two cups of sugar and
cook together for j minutes. Cool
and add the juice of two lemons
and freeze to Il mush.
One sometimes desires dessert
that is cool and refreshing without
being frozen. In this class of
chilled but not frozen desserts one
made of fresh grape juice is par
tlcularlv pleasing. For this use
one cup of freshly extracted grape
juice, the juice of lemon, and
one half cup Of sugar. Soften one
tablespoon zof2 granuIated gelatine
in Fourth cup of cold water and
dissolve il over hot water before
adding it to the sweetened juices.
Place the mixture III ice water or
II the freezing chamber of the re
.rigerator until it begins to stiffen.
Then fold in one cup of stiffly beat
IN sour cream. Serve with any kind
II custard sauce.
Grape Relish Is Good
An excellent grape relish that is
both decorative and appetizing
may be made by picking whole
grapes on the stem. The process is
simple and the grapes have re-
markably fresh appearance when
used to decorate salads or to gar
nish cold meats.
The punches of grapes selected
for picking in this manner should
be of uniform size and ripeness,
taking care that none are over
ripe. Wash them thoroughly and
pack them i'll clean jars without
removing them from the stems.
Take small punches or sections of
punches and do not pack too tight
ly or crush them. Make Il sirup
of white vinegar and sugar using
one and one-half cups of sugar to
cab cup of the vinegar and boil
the sirup for five minutes after the
sugar is dissolved. Pour the hot
sirup over the grapes in the jars
until the Jars arc full and then
seal them.

MUTILATION
OF TREES

Oakley is noted especially for its
tres N this fact is greatly appreci-
ated by tourists. And yete the towns
people would eliminate this beautiful
feature.
These trees are more than seem
cry; they stand as symbols to the no
BILE pioneers and early settlers who
made this town what 1t is. 1t is a
dishonor to treat these trees as they
are being treated.
Bills, notices. papers etc. are
nailed and tackled on them. The
nails rust, the hole decays and final
ly the whole tree is diseased. They
are cut into, many are dying, and no
new trees are being planted to take
their place. AS it takes many years
for trees to grow to the size they are
now, view Oakley a few years hence;
bare streets, rows of CHASTITY build
ings; just a town like the Others,
without eve the distinction it has
now.
The t~ownspeople must be made to
the seriousness OF this con-
dition, they must be made to see in
the future, and must be reused to
prevent the total loss of the trees.

Friday. They had a heavy line and

z good yardage. Oakley high were
too overconfident of a victory and
were trimmed In good style.
The High School tried several pas
ses but never completed one. Town
completed several nice passes. Mel

enc and made good yards.
The High School went through the

leg a little. Time put was called

Elliott of the town was the hero
CT the day. He ran 80 yards through
p broken field for a touchdown.
None of the high school men could
get close to him. He also made the
extra point, and at another time he
dropped kicked the ball over the
posts from the 25 yard line.
The High School boys played well
but couldn't seem to do anything.
Speed Wilson threw them for a loss
several times and he was the hero of
the high school and nearly the only
one who could go through the towns
line. :
This game shows that the High

Ruban, a squire, who lived in Eng

He tried to be an early riser, but
usually thought it much nicer TO
sleep on when morning came. There
were a few exceptions to this, espe-
cially on one occasion, when a noise
vas heard in the barnyard. At this
exciting moment his first thought
was, my old turkey hen," but no, it
not. 1t was a strange black
rooster.

for" said the squire to him
