g Question:

Air the bread and cake boxes
frequently during the summer
months. Mould is likely to form
on breads and cakes kept in boxes
during the warm weather.
Mayonnaise may be kept for
several weeks in refrigerator if a
tablespoonful of boiling water is
added to it before bottling.
Mix salads with fork instead
of spoon or ladle.
Do not remove huskS from
green corn until just before put
ting on to boil. Corn spoils quick
ly, so it should be used as soon as
possible after purchasing.
When cake or bread is too brown
or is burned, crate gently with a
fine crater (nutmeg crater pre-
ferred) until the cake or bread is
a golden brown.
Sandwiches may be kept moist
for "a hours if they are wrapped
tight as soon as made, in waXed
paper, then placed in box lined
with a damp cloth and covered
with a cloth. Keep in a cool place.
Always strain hot fat used for
deep frying through piece of
cheese cloth each time it is used
and set in a cool place. Treated
in this way fat may be used

and from the doorway he hailed
them cautiously.

stuff so as not to fall and invite
temporary disaster, made his way
to the foot of the stub where the
first bee, homeward bound, bad
disappeared.
Reaching there, he placed the
box on a stump, removed his hat,
slid the upended tumbIer over the
hole and squatted. Almost imme-
diately, bees appeared inside the
glass. He let three show before
liberating them and then, with
bated breath, followed their cir
cling until they had Strengthened
out and marked a poplar tree, five
rods away, as the last certain point
on their course.
"Not so good, Tip" he muttered.

"Well, it's like leap-frOg. Come

Again nearly a half hour passed
but this time the first contingent
brought more helpers, and when he
moved the box forward to the base
of the poplar tree, a handful of
bees were trapped there and, when
the last had gone. he replenished
the supply of honey which served
as bait from his bottle.

Mutual Life Insurance Co. Of Cali
fornia, which has policies totaling
$29,275,387 in force in Virginia, will
be placed in temporary receivership
in the State pending reorganization
Of the company at Los Angeles.
George A. Bowles, State superin-
tendent Of insurance, said the action
will be taken Monday or Tuesday, but
that holders of life insurance policies
with this company have no reason to
be alarmed"
"only holders of -cancelable
policies who have been paying made
quate rates will be penalized to any
extent because of the difiiculties of
the company" he declared.
Bowles, together with Corporation
Commissioner william Meade Fletch-

ACACIA INSURANCE
BUSINESS CLIMBS
Montgomery Reports Sharp
Gains in First Half of
Present Year.

Record progress was made by the
Aca acia Mutual Life Insurance Co.
during the first six months Of this
year. President William Montgomery
has just reported to the directors.
For that perod the net increase Of
insurance in force was more than
s5.600,0 900. a net increase of approxi-
mately 300 per cent, as compared with
the same period last year. This &C.
cretion brings total insurance in force
to $3.50, 100000.
Indicative of improved economic con-
ditionS generally is the fact that a 27
per cent increase was registered in
the company'S conservation rate. while
at the same time there was 81 per
cent reduction in the number and a
16 per cent drop in the total amount
Of policy loans. as compared with the
first half of 1885.
Total income thus far this year was
the largest for any 6-month period
in the history of the company. and
the same holds true for premium in
come, Mr. Montgomery added. As
sets now stand at more than $685.
240 900.
The extent Of Acacia's contribution
to the strength of the local economic
situation is well indicated by an
analysis of the company's mortgage
loans in the Washington area. As of
June 80, Acacia's mortgage loans in
the Capital and its environs numbered
approximately 1000, representing an
investment by the company of more
than $15,0O0,0 900.
