WASH CLOTH
IMPORTANT

Just because the wash cloth Is
in and out of water most Of the
time is no reason for supposing
that it is clean and that 1t doesn't
need regular washing. These little
squares of cloth perform too inn
portant a duty to be neglected
Unless they are kept scrupulously
clean they cease to be sweet smell
ing. They can even harbor germs
and infect the user. OF course IT
is understood that each member
Of the family has his own cloth
which no one else uses under any
circumstance
After each use, the wash cloth
should be thoroughly washed with
soap and water. rinsed and hung
on the towel rack to dry 1t should
be Numbered frequently besides
being sterilized by boiling and hung
in the sun and air to dry.

The chances are, Blonoy. that
your friend will never marry you,
since he is divorced and adheres
a religious creed that forbids
remarriage of divorced persons.
Under these circumstances, you
will only make tragedy Of your
own life and trouble him. if you
continue to encourage the love
affair.
You are young. Break away
from him now. Seek the compan-
ionship Of other young people,
nearer your own age. Throw your
self into new interests and work
hard. Take an interesting vaca-
ton trip this summer. In that
way, new faces and places will
gradually crowd the thought OF
this friendship from your MIND
and before YOU know it you WIZ
find yourself becoming absorbed

Because modern markets pro-

their cookery. points out Ethel

IAN vegetables, beans especially,
advises Miss Somers, should be
cooked in the shortest time pos
s.ble until just tender. The best
method is to steam in a very
small quantity of water, tightly
covered, or TO cook waterless. If
the beans are not overlooked, the
color will in no wise suffer be-
cause they have been cooked cov-
cred.
ar the bean pods look fresh

flavor will prove pleasant and
mild. A fresh pod, when broken
