Use Teaspoonful Of
Tea to the Cup


Brewing a social cup of tea Is an
art unknown to many housewives.
While the amount of tea to use will
depend on the individuals taste, @. r.
Hutchinson, tea examiner stationed at
New York city for the federal food
and drug administration, says that
about a teaspooonful to the cup is a
good average Boiling water must be
used or the leaves will not open fully
and impart their full strength and
flavor to the beverage. But tea should
never be boiled nor should the leaves
stand in the water longer than five OF
six minutes, in his opinion.
An earthenware pot should be used
and after the leaves have stepped five
or six minutes the liquor should be
poured into another container, or If q
tea ball is used it can be removed.
Mr.. Hutchinson puts the tea In ar
aluminium strainer puts the strainel
across the top Of the teapot, and pours
boiling water through the strainer I'm
til the pot is full, covering the body OF
the strainer. After it has drawn foi
three or four minutes he takes the
strainer out and has cup Of tea tha
is Just to his liking.

is the best of regulators. Food fads
live for awhile and are forgotten. A
few general health rules here will ap-
ply to the ordinary individual who
need not starve or stuff. Eat moder-
ately of all foods. Drink plenty of
water, do not eat too much of any one
kind of food, and be sure to eat plenty
of vegetables and cut down on the
meat For the thin person, butter,
cream, as well as plenty of fresh
vegetables are necessities.
Hearty, heavy foods like meat,
vegetable proteins and nuts should al
ways be served with fresh green foods.
Heavy eaters are prone to have
acidosis. Fresh vegetables and fruits
counterfeit this tendency. Citrus fruits
are invaluable in the diet.
Lemons if used freely will correct
the torpidity of the liver clear the
complexion and help in free elini1na-
ton of waste products.
A good habit to form, which is as
important as brushing the teeth, is
the drinking the juice Of lemon In
hot water. A whole lemon is not too
much, diluted with hot water to fill
a glass. Drink it on rising at least
half an hour before breakfast.
Recent discoveries teach us that
the use of lemon and orange juice
arrest the decay of the teeth and re-

In the making of the graceful little
informal afternoon frocks of dark
silk print which have been so very
popular and which give every promise
of continued vogue for midseason
and early fall, the trend is for one
circular ruffle to call for another. In
other words, frocks show a tendency
to adopt circular-flare movements from
neckline to hemline. The frock, ia the
picture illustrates the idea.
Here we have a very smart styling
given to a green-on-black print silk,
which carries out consistent circular
movement throughout the capelet, the
sleeves and the skirt. This manipula-
ton, which strives to relate the frock
or costume through repetition of q
given treatment, is observed by most
designers. For instance a pleated
capelet, let us say, calls for pleated
frills on the sleeves, also pleated
founce on the skirt If the latter be
not pleated entire. In case of an en-
semble wrap of matching material, it
also is likely to be detailed with
pleated trimming.
There is quite rivalry between
pleated and circular treatments this
season. However, from the standpoint
of that which is newest, circular cuts
win out. 1t Is interesting to note in
how many directions the circular
Zines" extend. One sees the I'M
dulating grace of circular rufiies IN
the very smart peplum effects which
style so many Of this seasons SIX
frocks. The sleeve with circular
flare from the elbow Is among the
many quaint modes which fashion has
resurrected from the past.
Even pleated skirts have gone cir
cuar. That is, while not attaining
the extreme sunburst flares, yet they
are cut slightly bell fashion so that
the pleats are shallower at the top
than the bottom. Box pleated skirts

Hints for Housekeepers


Keeping dust from window sills,
porches, steps and walks helps to pre-
vent it's entrance into the house.
To keep shoes in good condition, al
ways remove mud at once. If allowed
to dry on the shoes, it will stain the
leather.
A backyard playground equipped
with slides, swings, large boxes. and a
sandpile will add to the children's hap
piness this summer and keep them
away from the danger of motor traffic.
Never wiring or twist silk or other
delicate fabrics in laundering. In
stead, roll the garment in thick
towel and gently but firmly squeeze
out the water.
A light, clean, well-ventilated clothes
closet equipped with plenty Of hangers
and dress covers helps summer clothes
stay fresh and last longer and 1t helps
prevent destruction, by moths.

 After a day of negotiations, which had brought hope of peace between strikers and mill officials, a crow q of 400 workers attacked the homo of Peter Martoni, strike breaker, short ly after he and his two daughters were escorted homo from the mills by police last night, and Martoni re- sorted to a shotgun for defense.
 The mob first besieged the strike breakers house with stones, and broke every window. Then, when it started to advance upon him, Mar toni appeared at the door with his gun and fired directly into the crowd. Screams arose from the strikers ranks and while the. wound- cd were carried away the mob pressed forward again. Another shower of stones brought Martoni to the door and he fired again.
 A third advance resulted in the capture of the strike breaker, and he was being beaten severely when the police arrived. Martoni was rescued and after hospital treatment was placed under arrest on assault and battery charges.
 Ten men, most of them under 22, were treated for gunshot wounds and q score of others received treatment for other injuries.
