anniversary of that store that the
Herald recorded last June. It's not
too late. Mrs. James Hall Is a will

a daughter Of the late Mr.. Capser,

an ideal place to effect such a res

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Removing Tar Stains. - Tar
stains can be removed from car
pets by spreading a thick paste of
turpentine and fullers' earth over
the affected spot. Leave on for
several hours, then brush off.
Preserving Patent Leather
The life, of patent leather may be
prolonged by rubbing it occasion
ally with glycerine applied with a
clean cloth.
Pudding From Stale Bread
Rub the stale bread into crumbs
and then soak breakfast cupful of
them in half a pint of milk. Mix
in one ounce of sugar, one ounce
of cocoa powder, a beaten egg
and a few drops of vanilla. Bake
in a buttered dish until set.
Convenient Table.-A knee-high
small kitchen working table, pref
erably one that washes off easily
is a treasure to the housewife.
Such a table encourages her to sit
down to peel potatoes, scrape car
rots or do any of the little things
that she usually does standing by
the kitchen table.
Hot Luncheon sandwiches
Spread bread lightly with butter,
add a slice of cheese, a slice of
tomato and one or two half slices
of bacon. Place on a pan in a
hot oven, three to four inches be-
meath the broiler heat and cook
until the bacon is done to taste
and the cheese melted.
knitting Hint.-What a nuisance
it is when knitting a sleeve to
have to go back to the beginning
and count decreases. Try putting
a snap fastener through every de-
crease row you knit, then de-
creases can be seen at glance.
Pianos and Lamps.-Keep your
piano keys white by giving them
an occasional rub with a paste
made from powdered chalk and
benzine. Silk lampshades may be
made like new by a gentle brush
ing with a toothbrush dipped in
soap suds, followed by clear,
warm water. For parchment
shades, use an ordinary rubber
eraser.
Brighter Glass.-All glass bowls
and tumblers should be washed
in warm soapy water and then in
clear water to which a little vine
gar has been added.
