| breaking experience. But 1t Is one
that many women will have to 90
through, and there is no question so
important right now as how they
are going to meet the situation.
Are they going to be like the girl
who writes the letter I have quoted
big enough and strong enough to
take the poor, shattered wraiths,
VINO were once Stalwart men, to
their bosoms and heal them with
their comfort and sympathy? Or
are they going to be cutters who
will turn their backs on the men
who can no longer give them good
times and luxuries?
think that we women will be q
poor and contemplate lot of Quis-
lings, despicable sixth column Of
traitors to our country, II we welsh
on paying our part of what we owe
to our soldiers, who have given
their youth and strength and pros
poets in life to defending us, If we
shut our doors and our hearts
against them.
Yet already we hear many tales
of that being done-of wives who
are getting divorces from husbands
who are unable to ever be money
makers again, or whose physical
and mental state calls for continual
tenderness and patience in those
who must care for them; and of
girls breaking engagements to boys
who are not glamorous as they were,
nor such good catches.
But each woman is as she is made,
and if it is not in her to love her
man the more he needs her love,
and to consider it a privilege to
work for him and nurse him and
take care of him when he is i'll
and down on his luck, then the
kindest thing that she can do is to
leave him and make way for a
better woman. And no man who
loses that kind Of a wife or sweet
heart need mourn her disloyalty.

Aside from a good soap and water
cleansing which will remove all the
surface soil I would suggest one OF
the deordorants which are used to
freshen the air. These are better
than the odoriferous disinfectants
which often have an after-odor OF
their own which gets very stale
There are several good ones on the
market which have no aroma of
their own, but absorb all odors that
permeate the house. One of these
comes in powder form, may be
placed throughout the house to
work for you while you are getting
the cleaning done. A tablespoon in
a pint OF water makes q working
solution. This may be placed in
shallow dishes on the radiators in
various rooms, 1t may be boiled in
a pan on the stove, or merely set
in out-of- -the-way corners through
out the house. Some people like to
use little of 1t in the water pans
placed at the back of radiators so
that 1t does its work all winter while
the house is closed. I feel quite sure
this will be the solution" to your
problem.

KUMQUATS.
(ThdnkS to Mrs. E. W. c.,
Dat J. AnI- III

'e~t'sS " &A o. W Ssl
Bethesda, Md.)
The Readers Clearing House Is
one Of the most interesting and
enjoyable features in the local
newspapers. Hope it is continued
for long time.
In response to Miss A. B. T.,
Arlington, as to the use of kum-
quats, I have a very good recipe for
kumquat marmalade which I've
used successfully for several years.
1t Is taken, in large part, from
the Blue Ball Book of Canning
Recipes" with few personal COM
ments. 1t follows:
Soak kumquats in hot water for
couple Of hours or until water
cools, rubbing and rolling them a
bit to clean them and remove some
of the oil. Either slice kumquats
very thin and remove seeds as they
come, or an easier way Is to cut
them in half and remove seeds by
squeezing kumquats over . strainer
letting juice run into pan to be
used in the marmalade. Then grind
the kumquats in a food chopper
using q coarse blade. Grinding
seems to bring out the taste of the
oil a bit more, but not objection
ably, as 1t is much easier on the
hands.
Add to the prepared kumquats
just enough water to keep them
from burning, or just enough tc
make a wet mush, and cook unit
the skins are tender.
Measure as much sugar as you
have kumquats "a little more sugal
If you have ground them and tn.
juice of half a lemon to each quar-
of kumquats. Cook slowly until il
is the consistency of jelly, stirring
frequently to prevent sticking o.
burning. Put into hot sterilized jar!
and seal.
This is a very rich citrus delicacy
and goes long way as a spread.
suppose Miss A. B. T. knows tha'
in eating raw kumquats the skin, a!
well as the pulp, is eaten. Alse
white sirup may be substituted fol
part of the sugar but the cooking
time will need to be increased.

 Game Birds Here

Bird holding pens are also to be built as soon as plans are approved.
