Household Methods
BIZ BETSY CALLIsTER.
Cleaning in Winter.

No sensible housewife would attempt
to be so forehanded as TO do the Spring
housekeeping in January, but there
are lot of small cleaning and ar
ranging tasks that may be done dur
ing the Midwinter weeks that will great
ly simplify the general house-cleaning
sometime in April.
One good task to have out of the way
Is the careful arrangement of your food
closets, which have, perhaps, become
slightly disordered during the rush Of
Christmas holidays. If you have not
already arranged glass or tin recepta-
cles for the usual sorts of provisions
this is good time to do it. You can buy
convenient sets of containers for sugar.
salt, flour, coffee, spices, etc, at small
cost in the stores nowadays. Less usual
materials you may keep in glass fruit
Jars, each provided with a good tight
top. Small candy jars, in which hard
candy IS Sod or any other sort of
straight sized glass jar with a proper
sort OF top may be used for this purpose
To maze your system perfect you
should paint the name of the material
to be kept in the jar on the outside
with black or other dark colored paint.
Use an inexpensive artists brush for
this purpose. After the paint has dried
thoroughly you may shellac over the
painted word so as to make it .eally
permanent. Never use paper labels
which will curl up and come of, leav-
ing you unable to tell at a glance the
difference between powdered sugar and
baking powder, cracker crumbs and
corn meal.
Any food that comes in metal or
glass containers with good tops need
not be taken out, but food In bags and
boxes should all be put in metal or
glass containers
If you dc this bit of arrangement now
you will find 1t a very much easier task
to clean your food cupboards later on.

When you should be awake and in
stead you are sleeping, a bill will be
rendered upon your awakening That
is just another way of saying that it
costs money not to think
An example? Certainly, and one
right in our own Office. A secretary
complained that a typewriter was out
of commission. The repairman chuckled
when he examined the machine.
Thre was only one thing wrong with
it. Some one had shifted the tabulator
key and adjusted the ribbon tc po-
sition where it was kept out OF the way
for stencil work.
The minimum charge for typewriter
repairmen in this particular locality
is $3.50 an hour whether an hour or
a minute is actually consumed. 1t cost
us therefore $3.50 to discover that a
secretary was not quite awake or think
ing.
The example is, of course, not a gen.

Ny Neighbor Says:

To bake potatoes quickly, boil
them 10 minutes in sailed water,
then place in a hot oven to finish
cooking.
A baby's bottle ought never to
be washed with soap, but the
moment it is empty it should be
washed in cold water, then filled
with a weak solution of boric
acid.
When making water, try
adding a little common salt.
This helps to distribute the color
evenly and prevents the. clothes
from looking streaked or patchy.
When making a meringue. egg
whites will be found to stiffen
more quickly if they are broken
into a plate that has been rinsed
in cold water and let stand in an
open window while whipping.
Add a pinch of salt to whites.
To remove skin from tomatoes
hold over gas flame on a long
fork until skin peels.

they're thinking of something else:
that the irritation in a voice and the
abruptness of greeting are not
turned against you at all.
When the girl at the next desk
snaps at you, il doesn't occur to YOU
that her boy friend didn't call up last
night and so she hardly knows you
exist
If Mabel doesn't call you up for sew
cral days, try to remembers that per-
haps she is tired and maybe she has a
cold. Try not to. think that she doesn't
like you any more
And if Mabel has little party and
doesn't invite you. don't be insulted
Remember that Mabel has only a small
place and she has obligations to a lot
of people. She can't invite everybody
all at once.
In short. if you try to think inside
Mabel's mind, you won't be hurt nearly
so often.
Being young and not understanding
values, YOU think you're full of all kinds
Of faults. You are, but then SO is
everybody else. Being self-conscious
about your faults. you are on edge lest
other people see them and everv stray
remark seems to point to your weakest
point. 1t will help if YOU renenber
that all young people feel the same
way.
About the only consolation about be-
ing older Is that you are not so likely
to lie awake at night because YOU said
the wrong thing or because some one
else did.

cause for the first time in your life you

ing on n quicksand of uncertainties
You don't know your own capabilities.
You don't understand other people
You don't understand business. Love

W|CKERSHAM BODY
Judge Macintosh Says Data
on Dry Law and Police
Were Fair Findings.
BY the Associated Press.

SEATTLE, Wash, August 19.-Vigor-
ously defending the work of the Wick
ersham Commission, of which he was
member, Judge Kenneth Macintosh
told members of the Reserve Of6cers'
Association yesterday the commission
had expected protests against its re-
ports.
I'VE expected that our encomiums
would come with reverse English, Mack
intosh said. But believe the work Of
the commission would serve as q text
book for all future study of the prob
lens of crime.
The prohibition report drew brick
bats from both sides, which convinced
us of its fairness. Vets and drys can
accept 1t as a finding OF facts, though
they will not agree what ought to be
done.
THE report on lawlessness in en-
forcement of law seems to have caused
some CONSERVATION among law en-
forcement officers. This report cites
volumes and pages in its list Of au-
thenticated cases. It is not the mag
inings Of soft-headed men or women.
I'VE realize police have to deal with
hardened cases and that they are not
going to use the light touch of a
dancing master, but there are certain
rights every human being has. It has
come to a pretty pass when we cannot
enforce the law without breaking it
ourselves"
