Perhaps they will give you business

(Thanks to Mrs. L. M. r.,
WaShington.)
First, here is my answer to Mrs
j. M. j., Silver Spring:
Chicken fat SKINNED from a
stew will keep only as long as the
broth which is in it. So use it at
once, and fry raw potatoes. These
will absorb the juices and purify
the fats. Should it not be advan-
tageous to prepare dish for the
family, then slice one small potato
and fry until brown. Your fat may
then be added to your other cook
ing fats and will keep. All fats
skinned from stews should be
treated this way.
Should you have enough un-
cooked pieces of fat from chicken;
turkey, goose or duck, cut in small
pieces and fry over moderate heat
until the fat pieces when pressed
will remain so. This fat without
the seasonings of a stew or roast)
may be used for cake baking and is
richer and better than butter. The
fat salvage is only for fats when no
longer usable in the kitchen, so
save, and use all fats available for
meats. poultry, etc.
Now, Mrs. D. L. H., Gaithersburg,
Md:
To soften the hand knitted suit,
wash again in lukewarm water us
ing mild soap flakes and about 2
tablespoons of household ammonia
Squeeze gently, don't rub or wiring
Rinse in water of same temperature

The garment should be rolled in
thick turkish towels to remove as
much water as possible before ar
ranging for drying) I have restored
wooden underwear that had become
thick and hard through careless
washing.

This timely bit of lore is sharply re-
called to any one who wanders
through the doors Of Washington's
auction rooms Some one, undoubted-
ly a cynic, could have fun improvis-
ing on this theme. For our part,
we would like to caution those Of
you who are new at this business
of buying your household furnish

chant, in the hope that you'll avoid
falling into errors common to the
uninitiated.
To begin with. there are a few
psople we know OF who labor under
the delusion that a piece of furni-
ture, or anything else for that mat
ter, bought at auction, is perforce
a bargain. II you are among those
who can be classed in this category
1t would be wise to remember that
the purpose of an auction sale is,
after all, to sell to the highest bid
der-that the bidding is apt to vary
according to competition, and ac-
cording to the qualities of the piece
being offered. It's not often that
the owner is either unaware of. or

PUPPY TRAINING.
Thanks to D. W. r.. Washington. J
Cd Feed puppies at regular times
f8-week-old puppies should be fed
small amount of food or 5 times
daily, dropping off to twice daily at
6 months and once daily at l year,.
Overfeeding up to l year old is bet
ter than underfeeding-so feed all
the pup will eat.
I'd In this cold weather 1t would
not be advisable to put the puppies
out OF doors so try the newspaper
breaking trick. Spread one layer of
newspapers on floor and place pup
pies on it after each feeding. If
they walk off the paper, do not scold
but simply put them back on the
paper. They will soon learn what is
expected of them. Then you can
simply roll up the papers and throw
them out. I have seen puppies sue
cessfully broken by this method in
a weeks time. Soon they begin
hunting for the paper when they
need it. The next step is to put the
paper out on your back porch or out
on ground. When the pup begins
to hunt for the paper, show him
where it is. From then on is smooth
sailing.

you wish. People tell us that our dog
is the most beautifully trained

you love him. There are any number
