WOOD IN THE

In these days of machine turned
utensils having handily shaped
metal grasps the modern house
wife has returned to the old
fashioned wooden handles in pref
erence because the wood does not
transmit the heat.
'"The wooden spoon is excel

Iowa State College. In the July
issue of Successful Farming
"for Dreaming, it is easier to hold
than one of metal. it is noiseless.
it can be used better in stirring
foods while cooking, as the handle
does not conduct heat. Compared
to the metal spoon the first cost
might be equal but it would be
used many more times. Wooden
spoons and paddles should be
smooth, without knots and shaped
with a fairly large handle.
How delightful it is" the
writer continues. ito examine new
types of beaters with comfortable
wooden handles, large enough to

The Reward OF Patience has
been paid at last to the white,
lacy handkerchiefs that have
been waiting. many seasons. to

because of the final acceptance

straw or silk, in one or two-tone

style is dependent on the saucy
way in which they are pulled on

ADVICE TO

DEAR Miss FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
There is a girl with whom ] pal
around. We work at the same
place. She has proved to be
very dear friend.
She often makes blind dates"
for me, in which ] am the fourth
Of the party. Last~night | was
on one of these dates. The young
man / was with forced his atten-
tons on me. which made me
angry and left me in an ugly
mood.
/ made it very plain to him
that l never let a man kiss me
the first evening l meet him. He
in return called me "Mama's
baby" said l was way behind
the times and Knocked me in
every way. He said l ought to
get wise to myself l know this
was not my chum's fault, as the
young man she was with is her
fiance and a gentleman.
/ am a fiapper in dress-that
is, am up to date. But ! do
not drink, pet or smoke. ] am
II. / am not looking for steady
company, so naturally / like TO
make new friends. Will you
please advise me as to how to
meet the right kind Of young
men. KITTY.
You were unfortunate, Kitty, in
having a cad for your escort. DO
not feel badly about his rudeness
and insulting remarks. They are
to be expected--from a cad. Now
and then any girl may find she
has to cope with insults and the
wise thing to do is just what you
did-take firm stand for what
you know is right.
Your friend will doubtless be
careful to introduce you only to
young men of character and good
manners. Dress and conduct your
self in such way that you will
attract and interest the right kind
Of men. You can be up-to-date
in dress without being at all
flashy or conspicuous.
Church work among the young
folks should help you meet the
best kind of young people. Make
the best always of the friendships
you have, and hold them by being
A loyal sincere friend--neither a
gold,digger nor Chanceable and
tickle. Good luck to you.

DESTROYING
RUST

Nothing is so effective for re-
moving iron rust stains as the
Juice of a lemon and some salt.
Cover the stain with the juice,
then sprinkle on the salt, and put
into the sun to dry. II any OF
the stain is left, repeat the pro-
cess until it is all gone.
The milk bath will remove ink
stains from any kind of fabric
especially If used right soon after
the stains are made. IT iodine
has been accidentally spilled on
clothing, table linen. bed clothes,
or even linoleum, apply paste OF
flour and cold water. Leave until
it dries, then brush 1t off. This
will also remove iodine stains from
the skin.

superfluous hairs.
OF course. the electric needle
and X.ray are out of the question

Baby specialists agree nowadays
that during the first six months.
babies must have three ounces OF
fluid per pound Of body weight
daily. An eight pound baby, for
instance, needs twenty-four ounces
of fluid. Later on the rule is two
ounces Of fluid per pound of body
weight. The amount Of fluid ABB
sorbed by breast fed baby Is best
determined by weighing him before
and after feeding for the whole
day; and 1t is easily calculated for
the bottle fed one. Then make up
any deficiency with water.
Giving baby sufficient water often
relieves his feverish, crying. upset
and restless spells. If it doesn't,
give him a few drops OF Fletcher's
Castoria, For these and otner ills
of babies and children such as collie,
cholera. diarFhea, gas on stomach,
and bowels, constipation, sour stom-,
ach, loss OF sleep, underweight, etc.
leading physicians say there's moth
ing SO effective. 1t is purely vege-.
table-the recipe is on the wrapper
and millions of mothers have de-.
pended on it in over thirty years OF
ever increasing use. 1t regulates
baby's bowels, makes him sleep and
eat right, enables him to get fun
nourishment from his food, so he
increases in weight as he should.
With each package you get book
on Motherhood worth its weight in

Just a word OF caution. Look for
the signature of Chas, III, Fletcher
on the package so you'll be sure to

A cream depilatory is perhaps
the daintiest and least irritating
type for the average skin. so far
as use on the limbs is concerned.
The fact that cream depilatories
are used In some hospitals proves
they are fairly safe. Some women
apply a cream depilatory as often
as once a week with only good
results. There are several de-
pendable brands on the market.

NEW YORK, October 11.-Death of
Alexander v. Turin, described as a
prince of the former republic of
Georgia, was under investigation by city
medical authorities today on the pos
sibility that it might have been caused
by drinking poison liquor.
He died in the apartment of Mrs
EparSka Rodkoff, with whom he had
auncheon. She told police he had
cocktail and several glasses of whisky.
The death since Saturday of Is per-
sons from wood alcohol poisoning caused
DR.. Charles Norris, city medical ex-

morgue for an autopsy.
Death Comes Suddenly.
Mrs. Rodkoff, who said she was a

met Prince Alexander a few days ago

called to see her and they had luncheon
together at a restaurant in Fifty-third

He said at present there were 10
times as many privately owned planes
In the United States as in the rest of

air lines in this country could have
been purchased for $5,000,000. "They
could not be bought for $100, ,000, 900 to-

Reliability is an actual fact in avia-
