Household Methods
BY BETSY CAILIsTER.
Clean Cellar Now.


One Of the advantages Of living In an
apartment Is that there is no cellar in
which to accumulate junk and rubbish
and odds and, ends that may be useful
some time in the future. Only the house
dweller knows the oppression that comes
from the knowledge that below stairs
are accumulated old bottles and boxes,
papers and clothes waiting for general
distribution and sorting.
If you have q cellar you have prob
ably postponed this general reckoning
day so long as cold weather prevailed.
But now that the fires are out there Is
really no excuse for putting 1t on any
longer. And you might as well make
up your mind to make q day Of 1t, so
put on your Oldest house frock, don q
pair Of cotton gloves and q cap to cover
your hair from dust, and 60 down with
determination.
Fruit jars should be looked over now,
well in advance Of canning time. Sort
them over, finding covers and tops for
each. Wash them all carefully. OF
course they will need to be washed again
and sterli1ed when canning time comes.
but 1t Will be an easy matter II they are
washed now and covered ready for use
later.
Bottles and Jars that are of no use
should be sorted ready for the rag man,
for no one nowadays scorns the man
with bells on his cart who pays a good
price for old tin cans, bottles and
papers.
Old rubbers and any sort of rubber
brings its price, too, and these should
be sorted and saved for the rag man.
Papers should be piled and tied to-
gether.
Most people so to the expense OF hay
ing cellar walls whitewashed every year
or 30, but few people feel that It is
necessary to have any paint used In the
have the cellar stairs treated to q coat
or so Of good floor paint. It prolongs
their life and makes them easier to
clean later.

new-and are new-are the
ones sketched. OF course there
are many others, but these two
dresses show certain important
spring trends that you'll be see
ing more of later on.
New Short Peplum
The plaid dresS-and this
comes under the heading Of
pastels when the plaid is in the
soft pastel tints-haS tire very
short peplum effect that's
gradually taking the place OF
the tunic you've seen all winter.
The side closing Of the blouse
is another new idea. And
you'll notice that this dress is
tWo-piece-or at least, looks
two-piece. That's another mark
of newneSs.
What's new about the other
dress-a good one for a plain
pastel color? That feeling of
upward draping in the front,
for one thing. The neckline
draped in an individual looking
scarf, for another. And the very
flat peplum that hugs the sides
Of the skirt so closely.

CORRECT
MANNERS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-
The Soup Course
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

4nG SOup NOuASS
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
A says that if soup is
served in a coffee cup it should
be eaten as though it were
in a bowl. B says it is drunk,
the same as coffee, but if the
bowl has handles it would be
eaten with a spoon. Who is
right, A or B. K. P.
This depends on the kind Of
soup that is served. If you are
serving bouillon or consomme
in large coffee cups, instead of
in bouillon cups or in cream
soup cups, the person eating
might test the heat first by
slipping from the spoon the
first few mouthsful, and then
drinking the rest from the cup,
as we would drink tea.
But if the soup is a heavier
soup-a cream soup, for in
stance-the person eating would
eat all of the soup with the
spoon.
In other words, if the large
coffee cup is used as the con-
tainer for soup, the soup is
eaten as it would be if the
container were the convention
al soup cup. After all, it is
only a question of a handle
a handle that seldom is used.

TOdGy's True
Story

walked slowly over to the cash
register.
Ill At Ease
She felt numb and tired all
over, so tired that she could
hardly raise her head when a
man came through the revolv-
ing door, gave her a $40 bill,
and asked for a package OF
cigarettes.
But she managed to give her
warm, joshing smile, and cracked
wise with-"The cash registers
had a heart attack. It hasn't
seen that much money for so
long it won't work. Wait a sec
till I get the money wrench
and open it,"
She got it and brought it
down with all the vigor of her
strong, capable hands on the
mans head. He reeled to the
floor and a gun clattered out OF
his pocket onto the bare
restaurant tiles.
The Dead Beat
Gus came dashing in through
the door, his face an odd mix
ture of sheepishness and panic.
"She beat it," he told Julie.
Walked me five blocks and
then jumped into waiting cab.
1t was a put-up job. She was
no lady, Julie"
You're telling me?" asked
Julie. Help me deliver Cni5
parcel to the police, and we'll
talk about her later"
But when they did it was
along another line, that the
Apex was no place for lady to
work, and that Julie would be
much better off keeping house
and being a first-class wife to
Gus.

HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan CIendening-

by Logan ClendeHlng-
Among the frequent admoni-
tions addressed to the young,
none is considered more hy-
gienic than:
Child, blow your nose"
The wisdom of this is, how
ever, sometimes called in doubt,
as indicated by the following
excerpt from a book called,
your Nose, Throat and Ears"
by Drs. L. S. Oaks and H. G.
Merrill published by Apple
tom.
Nose Fills Up
"When any material slides
down over the inferior turbi-
nate to land upon the floor Of
the nose, it causes a tickling
sensation, or the nose seems
filled up; and Immediately
there arises an almost irresis-
tible impulse to blow it vigor-
ouSly. Not thinking of any
thing but the momentary relief
afforded, we apply some pres
sure to partially close both nos
trils, or completely shut off one,
and send a blast of air through
from the throat. Results a sat
iSfying noise, with expulsion OF
more or less corruption and
the feeling of a job we'll done.
However in the words Of q
much respected instructor.
whose mastery of English had
not yet reached its acme:
That are not all, gentlemen
The end results of that blast
may be more far-reaChing than
we at the time realize. Bacteria
loaded mucous, lying under the
middle turbinates, is in close re-
lationship with openings Of the
sinuses; and whenever we create
a sudden pressure within the
nasal chambers, we are almost
certain to force some Of 1t
through into the cavities, which
means actively extending the in
fectiori to them. This is exactly
what ordinary blowing of the
nose does for us.
A Savage Rite
"If one simply must perform
this savage rite, it should be
done with both nostrilS freely
open and holding the handker-
chief over the nose. Leaving
one nostril open and closing the
other will not do, because it is
not possible to close the pos
terror opening of that nasal
chamber, and harmful pressure
is bound to be created within it.
Neither is partial clousure Of
both, or of one, any more safe
or acceptable,

you've been seeing bright
reds and greens and blues worn
with these dark and fur coats.
But these new colors are differ
ent. Which is one reason why
fashionable folks like them
and are wearing them.
Not only as trimmings on
dark dresses. You've seen that
a lot, too. And it was relief
from the all-black dress. Now
whole dresses are worn in soft
pastel tints. And that's a St1u
bigger relief.
Pastels Are Individual
Maybe the pastel dress isn't
as practical as the dark dress.
But it certainly makes a
costume more individual. And
it's a dress that's going to be
lust as smart in April and May
and June as it is now in
January.

moment you entered the Apex
Cafe. Couldn't fail to, because
with each whir of the revolv-
ing door she was walking to-
ward you in her brisk, high
heeled dog trot, taking your
hat, pulling out your chair,
swabbing off a table, and
booming in her rich, throaty
voice: What's yours Mister?

She was the warm, comfort

capable, that never faltered
under the heaviest trays.
Tongue that knew when to
take up wisecracks and leave
them alone. She brought trade
to the Apex, and Gus Shale,
the proprietor knew it.
A Good Waitress
But he worried about what he
called "her reaction" on the
gilt-bevelled sign on the front
window.
You're a swell waitress, Julie,
and aces with me and the fellas
that come here regular, but we
gotta attract the ladies, see?
Give it class, take it out of the
eatery tag. Look at them three
tables in the corner. Never

a little, Julie? Act sort of re-
fine. Let 'em see that this
isn't no joint but a nice, re-
fined eating place"
jules tongue would ordinar-
lily have cracked in swift and
scorching retort. But because
her heart was in constant
and mellow state about Gus,
she fumbled awkwardly with
her apron, and answered like
a shy school girl.
"Oh, gee, I'm sorry, Gus. I'll
try. Honest. I wouldn't hurt
your lady trade for anything"
High Glass Trade
The revolving door whirred,
and Julie pattered forward.
She stopped short in her tracks
and smoothed out a broad
smile into an anxious lip
twitch. The lady who was
stepping inside, was undoubted-
ly what Gus meant when he
said "high-class trade" Pale,
and dressed in black, and
redolent of something faint
and sweet.
Julie showed out a chair in
a corner table and stood at
tentively behind.
Toast and tea, and a pack
age of cigarettes, please" said
the lady.
Out of the corner of her eye,
Julie could see that from be-
hind the cash register Gus was
smiling fatuously at the pale
vision in black. The lady, Julie
perceived, was tossing a bit Of
skillful eye-work in return.
HIN" thought Julie. "A lady
is she?"
Just Comparisons
She brought thes toast and
tea and cigarettes, and walked
slowly out of range behind the
copper coffee tank. She ex-
amined her nails. They were
jauntily colored but cracked at
the edges. Working hard for
Gus had done that. The lady's
were smoothly tapered and the
color of lotus buds. Refined

Kotex is preferred because it
