My Neighbor Says:

In selecting fruits for making
jellies always procure those
which are somewhat underripe.
Fruits in order to make good jelly
must contain pectin, and If fruit
is overripe pectin is not found
in it.
If a thick cloth is placed at
the bottom Of the pan or bowl
in which delicate china or glass
is being washed, the danger of
chipping will be lessened. This
will also prevent silver from be-
ing scratched.
Woodwork which has to be
painted should be well smeared
with lime water, which can be
obtained at any druggists. Let
dry and then paint. The paint
will dry in half the time. Put
the brush in water when you
have finished. It will be quite
soft for next day.
Cut lettuce leaves to be used
in sandwiches with a pair of
scissors. Trim of all edges that
project beyond edge Of sandwich.

floor only to be faced with warning
from Democrat that he would object
to passage at that time of any such bill.
1t looked hopeless, but he continued
to hold the floor, yielding gracefully to
every Senator who asked. This went on

Finally a Democrat popped up with
similar bill. The new Senator yielded

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.
Glass Tempts Appetites.

There was the little x boy who
wouldn't drink his milk. His mother
served it in pretty, thin green glass.
She discovered one day that the APP
pearance of the milk in the green
glass was most repulsive. 1t looked
weak and watery. So she poured the
milk after that in an amber glass and
the boys milk appetite returned.
Cold drinks are much colder II they
are served in green glasses. And ice
creams gain in chilliness If they are
served on green glass plates.
Attractive glass nowadays can be
bought at such low prices that every
one can own some of it. 1t should be
used carefully to emphasize, with its
color, the dominant attraction of the
food served on it.

If we had reached that house before
that Hawk appeared we would have
met him. I wonder where he came
from and what he has gone down in

Wen wait and see if he comes out"
said Popup. Did you ever seen any one
with such long, slender body?"
II never did" replied Peekaboo, "and
never have seen anybody that moved
so quickly. Do you suppose it IS safe
to stay here?" I
Il guess it is the safest place there
is" replied her brother. If We keep
watch, we can see where he goes, and
then We will not be likely to meet him
unexpectedly. He may not be an en-
envy, but if he is we want to know
which way he goes"
So the two young Prairie-dogs waited
right where they were. They didn't
have to wait long. The stranger came
out sat up on the doorstep for a look
around and then glided away toward
another house. Instantly there was a
general alarm and they knew by this
that the stranger was an enemy beyond
a doubt.
Il wish I was back home" whin-
well, wishing don't do you any

shortly, for truth to tell, he was wish
ing the very same thing. when the
owner of that house comes out, we will
go over and ask him about that
stranger"
So they waited and waited, but no
one came out of that house. Then
they began to grow curious. The
stranger had by this time come out Of
another house and gone away. Little by
little they ventured to approach that
house They were afraid. yet why they
were afraid they didn't know. But
curiosity was greater than fear, and so
they at last reached the house. Popup

was no answer He tried it again, with
the same result. Apparently there was
no one at home.
That is queer" said he. II didn't
see that fellow who lives here come
out but he must have done so when
We were not looking"
Just then there was an alarm, for
alarms are frequent in Prairie-dog
Town, because the Prairie-dogs are such
little people Popup instantly dived
into that house, and his sister fol-
lowed. They did it without stopping to
venture outside Had it not been for
