His Clutch Slipped.

Harold, age four, was trudging the distance of many blocks with his father to Sunday school, and the long tramp was almost too much for him. The father, glancing back, noticed the small boy’s fatigue and, slackening his pace, asked: “Am I walking too fast, son?” “No,” returned the small boy, puffing and panting breathlessly, “it’s me, papa.”—Christian Herald.

Good Health MaKet a Happy Home Good health makes housework easy. Bad health takes all happiness out of it.

MANY WAYS OF GARNISHING.

For garnishing nSbats, fritters of vegetables are delectable and potato cakes and croquettes fried golden in deep fat are also used in the same way. * If you want color on the fish platter to go with the vegetables, bright red pimentos furnish it. A can of these will last all winter, as only a little is needed. When you have opened the can use what you need and then remove the remainder to a glass jar and cover wjth cold olive oil and ■they’ will, not apolL Tomato is also a bright garnish and is liked molded in aspic, but the olives that you buy ready stuffed with pimolas lend themselves to decoration readily. Slice them across the stuffing and you have little green rings with red centers that improve a salad in a Jiffy: " Mashed potatoes can be formed into baskets and balked so they hold their shape, and rice may be mixed with butter and chilled to form a holder for various foods, but these fancies are difficult to carry out and are not worth while. Anything that indicates that a great amount of unnecessary trouble has been spent displeases thoughtful persons and is apt to be absurd. “To . know when to stop is to know p whole lot,” Mark Twain made onev of Jfig characters declare, and this applies to garnishing as well as to other things.

FOR HEALTH IN HOUSEHOLD

Observances That Seem Simple -in Themselves, but Really Are of the Highest Importance. Is there a thermometer in your living ami sleeping rooms? Are the living rooms kent-At a temperature not exceeding 70 degress? Have you any method of ventilating the top of the rooms where foul air is apt to collect? ■ - ' : ' Are your windows arranged so that they can be lowered from the top? Are your sleeping rooms kept cooler than your living rooms? Do you open your chamber window and turn back your bed covers as sopn as you are dressed? Do you open your closet.door ~at;the same time? Are all living rooms and sleeping rooms aired each day? Does the member of the family who is the last to retire thoroughly air the living room where the family has been sitting during the evening, in order that the foul nir may fiothave a chance to circulate through the house during the night? Time and-money spent in attaining these ends will be well invested, and the householder will be rightly repaid by increasing vigor, comfort and happiness of every member of the family.

Cheap Substitute for Linoleum.

An inexpensive and sanitary-suit-stitute for linoleum can easily be made by pasting together three sheets of brown paper used for wrapping up goods. After thoroughly cleaning the floor a sheet of the paper should be pasted down and allowed to dry. Then a second sheet is laid down and allowed to dry before laying a third sheet. If a pattern floor covering is desired, ordinary wallpaper serves the .purpose admirably. It is pasted to the top sheet of brown paper already laid. The whole, being thoroughly dry, a coat of sizing is applied and left to set, after-which a coat of good var-~ nish completes the pfoceSST' This floor covering has all the advantages of real linoleum and may be washed and polished in the usual way.

Hot Biscuit.

Three cupfuls of flour, two tabiespoonfuTs of baklng powder, threefourths of a teaspoonful of salt, three tablespoonfuls of butter, three-fourths to one cupful of milk. Mix and sift the flour, baking powder and salt together twifce; then, cut in the-butter with a fork until it is In tine bits. Add the milk gradually, just enough to. make a soft dough. Do not handle any more than is necessary. Turn out on a floured board ahd roll to about three-fourths of an inch thickness. Cut, then place on a baking sheet and bake In a hot oven from 12 to 15 minutes.

Aromatic Spice Apple.

This ImrKs back to the days when our grandmothers were young girls, with all of the girl’s love for fragrant scents and odors. A small red apple is selected, care being taken that it is a perfect one, and the entire outside is covered with cloves, the small ends of which are stuck tnto the apple Until none ,of the skin of the latter is exposed. When dried in a cold room overnight, an ornamental bow is tied to the stem and the aromatie apple is than ready to impart its delightful fragrance to the articles in trunks, drawers, etc. Tw:

WOMEN OF BRAVE OLD. DAYS

Tribute to Those of the devolution and Civil War—Their Courage Inherited. It was natural that the women of the Revolution and the women, of the Civil w-nr should have been radical, outspoken and determined, because they aspired to an understanding of those great political Issues—-and they were lifted out of domesticity and frivolity by their active co-operation with men. Women havq always ranked with men, says Ida Tarbell, “in actual capacity and achievementand It Is certaln unit rn tnese two crucmx m* stances they rose spiritually to the level-of their husbands. They sought no immunity from suffering, they made no ignoble plea for peace. They posed neither as lnnovent victims of man’s combativeness nor as moral censors of his supreme self-sacrifice. The notion that-war Is wrong-because it involves the anguish of women woulyl have been as repellant to their souls as the notion that war can be averted by the wisdom of women would have been repellent to their understandiog. They deemed it their right to know what Issues were at stake, and their privilege to give undenyingly to their country’s cause. Courage was their Inheritance from their pioneer ancestors, and pain was proudly borne, because it was the price of freedom and national life. There Is something very inspiring -in the -contemplation of these stouthearted, clear-minded women who so faintly resemble the -chimney-corner great-grandmothers of our fancy. — Agnes Repplier In Harper’s Magazine.

TRY THIS COOKER

DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF KITCHEN UTENSIL. . •■■ ' I With a Small Expenditure of Money and Time This Most Useful Appliance Is at the Command of Any Housewife, A fireless pooker capable of giving satisfactory service can be made in the home at slight expense, if directions prepared by the office of home economics of the department of agri-' Culture are followed. The outstrip nf the -eooker may lie_ a tightly built wooden box, an old trunk, a small barrel, a large butter or lard firkin or tin, or a large galvauizedIron bucket with elose-flftlng cover. In general, a well-built, convenientlysized box is perhaps most satisfactory, though the cookers entirely encased in metal have the advantage of being fire 1 proof. If a box is to be used, its size will depend on the size of the cooking ket- - tie to be used in it and on whether there are to be one or two compartments. It must be large enough to allow for at least four inches of packing material all around the “nest” in which the cooking kettle is to be placed. For the sake of cleanliness and convenience the nest should be lined with metal and should be a trifle larger than the cooking utensil. If an extra source of heat, such as a hot brick or plate, Is to be used, a metallic lining for the nest is imperative. For this purpose a galvumized-iron or other metal buckets may be used or, better still, a tinsmith can make a lining of galvanized iron or zinc which can be provided with a rim to cover the pack*ing material. In case no hot stone or plate is to be used in the cooker, the linipg can be made of strong cardboard. For the packing and-insulating material a variety of substances may be used. Asbestos and mineral wool are good and have the additional advantage that they do not burn. Ground cork (such a*s is used in packing Malaga grapes), hay, excelsior, Spanish moss, wool, and crumpled- paper may also be used satisfactorily. Of

B, Packing or insulating material (crumpled paper, cinders, etc.). C, Metal lining in nest. D, Cooking kettle. E, Soapstone plate, or other source of heat. F, Pad of excelsior for covering top. G, Hinged cover of outside coritalner.

the inexpensive materials that can be obtained easily, crumpled paper is probably the most satisfactory, since it is clean and odorless and, improperly packed, will hold the heat better than some of the others. To pack the container with paper, crush single sheets of newspaper between the’ hands. Pack a layer at least four inches deep over the bottom of the outside container, tramping it in or pounding it in with a heavy stick of wood. Stand the container for the cooking vessel, or the lining for the nest, in the center of this layer and pack more crushed papers about it as solidly as possible. If other packing, such as excelsior, hay, or cork dust, is used, it should be packed In a similar way. Where an extra source of heat is to be used, it Is much safer to pack the tireless cooker with some noninflarmnable material, such as asbestos or mineral wool. A cheap and easily . obtained substitute is , the small cinders sifted from coal ashes, preferably those from soft coal, which may be obtained at the boiler house .of any mill. The cinders from hard coal burned in the kitchen range will do, however. Kxperi/nents With this material, made by home-economies specialists of the department showed that It is very nearly as satisfactory as . crumpled paper as a packing material. If a fireproof packing material is not used a heavy pud of asbestos paper should be put at the bottom of the metal nest and a sheet or two of asbestos paper should be placed between the lining of the nest-imd' the packing material. -Whatever packing material is used, it should come to the top’ of the container for the kettle, and the box should lack about four Inches of being full. A cushion or pad must be provided to fill completely the space between the top of the packing and the cover of the box after the hot kettles are put in place. This should be made of some heavy goods, such as denim, and stuffed with cotton, crumpled paper, or excelsior. Hay may be used, but will be found more or less odorous.

TO LIVE LONG! A recipe given by a famous physician fc(r long life was: " Keep the kidneys in gOod order! Try to eliminate thru the skin and intestines the poisons that otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eating meat as much as possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water, and exercise so you sweat the skin helps to eliminate the‘toxic poisons and uric acid.” For those past middle life, for those easily recognized symptoms of .inflammation, as backache, scalding "water," or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, "rusty" joints, stiffness, get Anuric at the drug store. This is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and was discovered by Dr. Pierce of Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist does not keep it send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for trial package and you will find that" It 4s many times more potent than lithia and that it dissolves nric acid as hot water does sugar.

Warning About Water Pipes.

Now is the time that fires are caused by householders attempting to thaw out service pipes by burning oil-soaked rags, and using other 111-advised methods In which an open flame is used. The proper way for the householder to restore an ice-clogged pipe to service is to wrap It with cloth and pour hot water upon it, or, If the freezing is too severe to yield to this treatment, the best plan is to send for a plumber. Apparently this is a minor detail, but attention to it may prevent needless fire loss running into thousands of dollars. —Engineering Record.
