ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Mrs. Deer did not know Just what
all these things were. but she knew
from the Doctors voice that every
thing was going well and that she
would soon be about again.
"Yes," said the doctor, you took
cold and so got slight attack of rheu-
matism which has panied you lot.
"But you'll be all right In day
or so. You simply need little lini-
ment on your sore knee joint"
So the deer had the liniment put
upon her knee joint. She didn't know
just what IMMINENT was. but she knew
that something warm and soothing
and comforting was being put on her
knee and IL was being rubbed In.
1t was poured out of bottle and
too, ii did make so much difference
after it had been rubbed on her knee
joint.
You're going TO be as well as ever
in a day or So" said the keeper joy
fully.
And Mrs. Deer. feeling so much bet
ter already, looked at the keeper. with
tears of joy in her big eyes, and said.
in deer language:
Thank you, thank you so much,
my kind. kind keeper"

for the sweet girl graduate" In
many instances the girls are interest
ed in making their own graduation
dresses. They can put into practice
some of the training they have re
ceiyed in sewing. and also save money.
Sometimes a contest Is started with
a set limit as to how much may be
spent for materials. One of the OBJ
jects of these friendly contests is to
level any possible differences In ex-
penditure that might be evident when
some of the students are able to pay
more for their clothes than others.

Agriculture. A mild, neutral soap of
known purity should also be used on
cotton materials that show tendency
to fade, and on all delicate fabrics.
On the other hand. 1t is not econom-
Teal to use an expensive soap on or
binary cotton fabrics where a medi-
um-priced soap would be satisfactory,
or on very heavy, dirty materials
which would be more easily cleaned
with a stronger soap. Many women
ignore this and are either wasteful
Of good soaps or spoil their more del
icate garments with poor ones
Clipped and faxed soaps go into so-
luton very easily and have many
uses for special fabrics. Some OF
these soaps are useful for the wash
ing machine. but IL heavy or much
soiled articles are being washed, a
solution made by dissolving a strong.
er soap in boiling water will do the
work better. The ingredients of most
washing powders are cheaper and
more satisfactory when bought sep
arately.
Water softeners are sometimes add
ed TO soaps but their price is usually
greater than their value. II is cheap
er TO buy them separately. There are
other objections TO their presence in
soaps. Common salt and other inert
and sometimes insoluble materials are
often added 70 increase the weight of
the bar or TO give securing proper
ties. Materials that will not dissolve
and make suds. such as pumiee and
sand. are only valuable as securing
agents and should not be present in
laundry soaps.
A good laundry soap should also
be free from excessive water, which
makes moist, but wasteful bar of
soap. No one wishes TO pay for soap
and receive large proportion of wa
ter. Almost all yellow laundry soaps
contain rosin. 1t will latber and make
suds, therefore it has some cleans
ing value, but If there is too much
rosin the soap will have a disagree
able Odor, give a sticky feeling, and
possibly yellow the clothes.

Superstition About Colors

By Il. IRVING KING

with regard to the butterfly based
upon its ancient symbolism of the soul
and as an insect into which souls
transmigrate. Thus the Solomon
Islanders frequently choose a butter
fly as the creature into which they
wish their souls to pass after death
and in some sections of India the but
terfly is supposed to contain souls In
their last incarnation In England a
red butterfly is always killed in the
rural districts as it is supposed to
contain the soul Of witch. But the
superstition with regard to the butter
fly and new dress arises from no
such purely mystic conception. 1t
would appear to be more largely ma
terialistic and based on analogy, as
the butterfly comes forth in the spring
in a new dress. There is. of course.
the ancient, primitive idea that mystic

superstition otherwise it would not
be able to thus control the future.
