HOLIDAY BOX PAPER Here is one of the prettiest gifts you can make, per box 10c & 10c

Useful in the Household

Use paper begs for covering pitchers with food In them. Always boll new Ironware before using. When breakfast muffins' are left over, split and toast them for lunch. Water the fern dish at night In the bathtub and leave It there to drain. A small box of lime set In the pantry will keep the air dry and purified. Vinegar and salt will remove stains from discolored teacups or other china. Chocolate stains can be removed from linen by washing with soapy tepid water. Loaf pans for bread should be narrow to Insure thorough baking of the bread. Extra deep pudding pans, pie plates and the like are preferable to shallow ones. After washing hair brushes dip them in cold water just before drying, to keep the bristles stiff. Always rinse the egg-beater In cold water immediately after use, and it will not be so hard to clean.If celery Is allowed to lie in water for six or eight hours before it is put on the table it will be very tender. It seems strange to think of butter as a salve, but It will take soreness from a bruise and will often prevent discoloration. * Spinach, either fresh or canned. Is found to be a new dainty If cooked in bouillon instead of water. The addition of a small bit of chopped pepper adds to the tastiness of the dish. Brown sugar frosting which will not crack is made of one tablespoonful vinegar, brown sugar enough to mix and the beaten white of half an egg. Beat all well together and add sugar enough to spread. If you have to pack bottles in a trunk, tie in the corks and wrap them in soft towels, garments, etc, and place in the middle of the trunk away from anything the contents would ruin If leakage occurs. When eating ice cream or drinking Ice-water, go slowly. There will be less danger of acute Indigestion from the sudden chilling of the stomach. In the house that is beautiful to the external eye, there must ever be corners and unexpected places, closets, kitchens and cupboards, "the powers that be," behind the scenes. Cheese cloth makes the best fiustcloths. It is excellent for any sort of straining, to tie over milk crocks, or to cover fruit or anything not to be exposed to the open air. It is fine to polish furniture and to shine shoes. Toilet accessories, brushes and combd and the like should be relegated to the background, and kept In a drawer, where they will be just as easy to get at as in an embroidered brush and comb bag, and more free from dust A housekeeper needs exercise for her body, reading for her mind, atharlty for her soul, and. companionship for her heart As Ingredients are considered in a successful recipe so must responsibility be measured with pleasure to make the dish of "Everyday Content” Little machanlsms, little economies, small bits of housewifely knowledge, keep the wheels of a household running smoothly, and the reverse, of course, is true; a lack of the technique of economy, a few disorders and tiny leaks In unexpected places, bring worry and cause mismanagement. To know "what to do, when and how to do it” in emergencies, as well as In every-day life, Is the secret of success behind the scenes. Always keep the plane closed when it Is not In use. A piano Is almost as sensitive to heat and cold as an Invalid. It should not be placed too near a fire, as the heat draws the wood. Neither should It be near an open window, as on a wet day the damp is apt to rust the wires. The keys should be dusted frequently with an old silk handkerchief and rubbed occasionally with a doth moistened with a very little lemon juice and whiting, and remove the paste with a damp doth. —The Housewife. Use of Garden Hose. Use the garden hose to rinse heavy artides. Blankets rinsed In this way are saved from wringing and dry without wrinkles, and as no ironing is required the nap is uncrushed. Also rinse heavy counterpanes this way, and crochet and knitting spreads are especially soft and fluffy. Rugs, scrubbed with a stiff brush moistened In diluted ammonia, when rinsed in this way, look like new. Turn the hose full force on the rose bushes, every day or so, and all Insects will soon disappear.

Sink and Table.

Make room (Or a long table at one side of the sink, anyhow; If It Is possible to pot the sink near the middle of a side of the room, with tables on each side of the sink, all the better, says the Woman’s Home Companion. Both sink and tables should be placed high enough to enable yon to work without stooping, and it is best to hare no space between them, it is an excellent plan to hare the tables built in the house. By the time the average man reaches the age of fifty ho knows a lot of things he would, like to get rid of at 99 per cent less than cost.
