LAWN MOLES.

From A. /. S., Washington
To rid your lawn of moles put a
few castor oil bean seeds in the holes
You can either open the rim or put
them in any other way. The seeds
are to be had at any seed store. The
moles leave.
Here and there a seed will grow
The plant is handsome and does not
60 wild, Or, the plant can be cut
off at ground level and it will not
mar the lawn.

SUGGESTIONS.

From Mrs. r. B. A., Arlington.J
To Mrs. H. A. O. NJ, re husbands
shirts fraying ut pockets. For white
shirts suggest mending tape ironed
over top of pockets both inside and
outside to depth Of hem. For COL
ored shirts all I could suggest would
be to cut part Of tail of and REIN
force top of pocket with 1t.
To Mrs. C. T. B.. for using up egg
whites. I save mine for angel food
cakes, prune and apricot whips (not
baked. as you mention), also add one
or two to scrambled eggs and omit
milk when you do.
To Mrs. T. H. NJ, re starch. May
I suggest the liquid bottled starch
for novices to use. Undiluted 1t gives
a very stiff finish and can easily be
diluted with either cold or warm
water as desired.

PRINTING FROM SACKS.
From Mrs. B. NJ. B., Hyattspille.)
To the lady who asked how to re-
move the letters from flour sacks
would like to pass on my informa-
ton. I was very successful in re-
moving the red and blue letters by
soaking the sacks In a strong solu-
ton of kerosene and strong bar
soap. After they have soaked for
some time they need much rubbing,
adding plenty of soap right on the
letters. They will need much
bleaching and I have found that the
best way to do it is to hang them
in the sun on freezing day. Mine
are lovely and white now and you
would never know they had been
covered with all those colored let
tiers. I hope you have the same
success with yours that had with
mine.

BREAKFAST RECIPES.
From Mrs. L. E. F, WashingtonJ
I have three recipes which I have
never seen in the RICH and thought
perhaps Mrs. E. w. L. might like
to try them for breakfast. Good
for breakfast or lunch. These are
old standbys for my family.
If you like bananas try this one:
Banana Omelet: Slice a banana
lengthwise and fry slowly in butter
to golden brown. Push to one
side of the pan. Now have ready
an omelet Of one egg, tablespoons
canned milk and salt to taste. Put
in pan along side of. the bananas.
Turn and when done, serve and
eat Immediately.
Tomato Omelet: Peel tomato If
you prefer or otherwise just slice it
and put on plate. Sprinkle with
salt and generously with powdered
thyme. Now make an omelet OF
one egg, 8 tablespoons Of canned
milk and salt to taste. Cover the
tomatoes with the omelet and eat
Immediately.
Fruit Toast: Applesauce Or any
other fruit may be used especially
the little leftovers you do not know
what to do with. Put the amount
of fruit you wish in sauce pan, heat
and thicken with a little corn
starch. Butter piece of toast,
then over that spread some peanut
butter. Now pour the fruit over it
and eat Immediately. II you desire
you can emulsify the peanut but
ter and pour it over the applesauce
or other fruit. Either way is good.
If you do not like peanut butter
this will not appeal to you, but If
you do you will think it good dish.

IDENTIFYING PLANTS:

From Mrs. E. O. X, Falls Church,
To Mrs. H. r. s., Alexandria. The
plants you described sound like
oxalis. There are two types I know
Of: One type is small and grows all
year around, but must be brought
III in winter; the other type is larger,
from a larger bulb, and the bulbs
should be lifted IN the air and kept
dry, then set out In the spring.

cucumber peel but still have reaches! I!
from Mrs. E. M. s., Washington.)
I think your plants are oxalis. I
have had pot of them for several
years. I keep them as close as pos
sible to a sunny window in winter
and put them out in moderate sun
In summer. They are blooming
most of the time About twice a
