Ways of Making Housework Easy

just right.
Steel wool is another discovery
that lightens kitchenwork, and costs
very little. 1t will make aluminium
ware shine like new with the least
possible work. 1t will take the black
off Of enamel ware without scratch
ing the glaze and Is a marvellous
metal cleaner. Any woman who has
used it would never willingly be
without it. OF this / am sure.
Percolators, Tea Balls.
The little percolators that come to
put in ordinary coffee pots are other
conveniences as handy as the tea ball
for brewing the latter beverage.
Either of these simplifies washing the
pots which more than covers the
slight extra work of washing the per-
eolators or balls. Many persons con-
slider that percolator coffee is more
to their taste than any other kind.
One of the great advantages of the
tea ball is that it can be lifted out
when the tea has brewed the right
length of time. This allows the tea to
keep at the desired strength without
getting that bitter flavor that it ac-
quires when the leaves remain in the
water too long.
Dish Drainers.
Dish drainers save more labor than
would at first seem possible. We are
considering them now as labor-saving
devices rather than mere kitchen con-
veniences. When the housewife is
pressed for time she can stack the
washed dishes in the drainer, standing
plates, saucers, etc, upright in their
designated places, pour scalding water
nd lar he
wiping. Silver should be dried and
glasses polished, but ordinary china,
emi-porcelain and Kitchen crockery
can be dried without wiping. One
would scarcely choose this method of
drying choice china

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Aries.

The probabilities are that during
the early part Of tomorrow you Will
feel indifferent and not disposed to
put your utmost effort into any task
you may have in hand.
In way, this lack Of energy and
vim will prove a blessing in dis
guise, as the planetary aspects indi-
cate unfavorable conditions and
counsel only the carrying out of
those routine duties that will not
brook delay. During the latter part
of the day, the signs denote that,
while there will be immediate urge
to do things, the emotions will be
strongly stirred, and a responsive
ness to all that is good and uplift-
This is a good omen for either en-
gagement or for marriage.
. A child born tomorrow will be ex-
ceptionally healthy, robust and vigor-
Gus, and will, in all probability, be
almost entirely free from sickness.
1t will, given the proper environ
ment, develop great physical strength
and be more adapted to outdoor than
indoor work. While It will, of course,
outstrip its fellows in all sports and
pastimes, it will not neglect study,
and it will possess keen intellect
and quick mind. In all its works,
as in all it's recreations, it will be
very intense, and always give of its
best to the immediate undertaking
on hand.
1t will never do anything by halves,
but will run the whole gamut. 1t
will be affectionate and sincere, loyal
and constant.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are fond of imagining a lot of things
that have never happened, and never
will happen. You are more than nor
mally disposed to look always on the
dark side, and rarely, il ever, glimpse
the silver lining. You anticipate
trouble and disaster and cross bridges
long before you reach them. Vizual-
izing the future is a profitable oc-
cupation, but it is positively disap-
pointing to have the vision dimmed
by darkened glasses.
The effect of your disposition is
not only detrimental to your own
interest but throws a damper on the
enthusiasm and optimism of others.
1t kills hopes and destroys ambition,
and, as a consequence, your friends
are few, as no one seeks the COM
! panionship of "killjoy."
II you could only eliminate lugu-
riousness from your thoughts. You
could, with your intelligence, mark
| ed ability and loyalty, secure a full
measure Of happiness and content
| ment out of life.
| Well known persons born on this
| date are: Erastus d. Palmer, sculp-
| tor; Thomas Jefferson, Third Presi-
dent of the United States; Alfred II.

Island; Daniel Draper, meteorologist;

some of the minor convenienceS that
are apt to be overlooked. This is
partly because they are insignificant
in comparison with the large and

cause their usefulness is not appre-

A potato peeler and knows how easy
it is to peel potatoes and dig out the

green skim pare and core apples to
bake or to make applesauce, etc, who
realizes the value of the small con-
trivance She appreciates that not
only is time and labor saved, but that
the vegetables and fruits are also.
Unless one is an expert and takes
time for the job, pairing with a knife
is decidedly wasteful. Thick peel
ings result. Potato parers, or apple
corers, as they are sometimes called,
cost but a few pennies apiece. Why
not have one?
Beater for Cream.
Every woman who has whipped
cream knows how 1t will splatter
when beaten with the ordinary
rotary egg beater. The specks of
cream get on one clotnes, Whlcn Is

there are comparatively few women

they can get an egg beater that will
whip without splashing the cream.

round and round in the bottom of

HOUSTON FISHERMAN
FIGHTS ALLIGATOR

HOUSTON, Aug. 17.-Fighting des-
pcrately for his life, in about five feet
of water, Dunk Campbell of Houston,
was saved by friends from n large ALI
gator in creek near here Sunday. His
right leg and left foot, however, were
severely mangled.
Campbell, who is 80 years old, was
with a party of picnickers and fisher
men on the banks Of Big Cypress
creek, % miles from Houston. He
wandered away from the rest Of the
party and had waded into the water
shoulder deep. Suddenly his right
knee and leg were seized. Fighting
desperately TO release himself, he at
tempted to kick the reptile with his
left foot. The alligator seized it, Bit
ing it almost through.
Others in the party heard his
screams and went to his rescue. His
head was almost under water as he
fought the alligator, but the rcscuers
seized his arms and succeeded in
wrenching him free and taking him
ashore. He was brought to a hos
pital here.

Two messages from the Macmillan

intermediate operating base at Flag
Ter Fjord in Ellesmere Island.
The navy planes at last located

short time later to find this water
clogged with ice. A brief description
also was given Of the ice-skirted shores
of the ford, and il was said that the

deck of the Peary and would be ready
for service within a short while.
simultaneously, however, with the
receipt of these messages, the navy

THEATRICAL OFFERINGS

San Antonio theaters this week
provide several unusually good bills,
particularly the Majestic which has
about the best show seen here this
summer.
Dancing is the outstanding feature
of the Majestic's bill, but it is widely
diversified and accompanied By enough

An ocean liner is blown up in the
feature at the Palace theater, "The
Half Way Girl" which is filmed III

exotic scenes. Doris Kenyon plays
opposite Lloyd Hughes and they fur
nish enough thrills TO make 1t an
absorbing play.
A whole galaxy of stars, including
Norma Sherer, Conrad Nagel, Renee
Adoree and Walter Hines, participate
in making Excuse Me-" at the En-
pire, a hilarious comedy with its
locale on a Pullman train.
Jamez Cruze draws heavily on the
imagination in his satirical "Beggar
on Horseback at the Princess. 1t is
replete with novel tricks and camera
antics and many exaggerated scenes
are unusually funny.
Plenty more amusement is booked
at The Royal where Bob Casey Greer
occupies the stage while Johnny Hines
Is reflected from the screen. Both
do well
The Royal will offer Rin-tin-tin, the
wonder dog in an Alaskan setting
until Tuesday when Mary Pickford In

Halfway Girl
at Palace Good

Parts of "The Halfway Girl" the
Palace offering this week, are really
good.
There are numerous hair-raising
incidents which are well staged. The
picture never actually borders on the
impossible, although few of the hap
penings would hardly be looked far
even in the Far East where the scene
is laid.
The story is of Poppy La Rue, an
American chorus girl, known as The
Half Way Girl" who is stranded in
Singapore.
Poppy helps a youth from her
country escape after he kills the
keeper of an Oriental dive in self
defense.
A chain of circumstances take her
away on the same ship that the
American is n stOwaway on.
The ship, powder-laden, catches
fire. The two find each other just
about the time the cargo explodes.
Although everyone else has escaped
with all the life boats and a tiger is
about to spring upon them, they make
an almost unbelievable escape.

Dream Is Theme
of Princess Film ~

The grotesque figures Of fancy's
widest dreams are made the theme Of
the "Beggar on Horseback" unusual
and extraordinary comedy by James
Cruze. showing at the Princess Thea
ter this week.
The play does not follow the for
tunes of n beggar vending his way
through life on horseback but gives
an exaggerated pictorial account of i'm.
preston stamped on the mind by a
dream.
The picture is noted for the re-
markable results that the director
achieved in reproducing the unusual
scenes portrayed. Some Of the work
must be classcd among the miracles
of motion photography.
