carry IS per cent duty on the value
OF the article. China, As per cent
duty and all goods embroidered In
any way, 80 per cent. Should YOU

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.
(Fron. Mrs. d. E., Churchton, MOI
Have any Of you new mothers used
4 measuring spoon for feeding
your babies? I've used one for both
OF mine and it's so much easier and
less messy because you can get the
whole bowl in his mouth. And have
you ever used the pad pants that
are used with the disposable dia-
pers? used the disposables and
found them most satisfactory until
the babies got too big. Then I folded
cloth diaper to fit the pad pants,
and they're wonderful! His clothes
keep dry, and yet there's no chafing
as the air circulates freely at the
sides which are open.
have been using the LIQUID de-
tergent for my dishes for months
now, and wouldn't go back to
soap for anything. It really is
wonderful. However, it's such a
grease solvent that If you wash
metal skillets in it, 1t takes the
seasoning out. So I wash them in
my rinse water which by then con-
tains slight amount Of the de-
tergent, but not enough to unseason
the skillet. This detergent is perfect
for washing the babies bottles, too,
leaves them sparkling.
The easiest way to clean silver
Is with any water softener made
OF trisodium phosphate. One well
known brand comes in a red box.
Just put silver in an aluminium pan
with a solution Of hot water and
softener. About a tablespoon to
gallon, and unless the silver is very
tarnished 1t only takes minute or
two. Rinse In clear water and dry.
Works better with sterling than
plated silver.
Another time saver IL LIQUID
starch. It is so easy, and for any one
who has only q few pieces to starch
it Is blessing.
I make all sorts Of favored des-
serts with plain gelatin. Using "
cup OF grape juice, or cup of april
cot hector or any other juice or COM
bination and adding mixed fruit,
shredded coconut or marshmallows
cut up (use scissors) or all three,
you can make gelatin desserts that
are tastier than the packaged
f1avors. Using a half cup of strong
coffee in making packaged vanilla
pudding makes delicious dessert,
too.
May I add quotation that comes
to my mind everytime a bitter pro
and con battle is waged in RICH:
Tolerance Is so dear to me that
would sacrifice for 1t even the
sweetest of beliefs"
