Turn dough onto floured board; roll into a sheet 1: inch thick and cut with large biscuit cutter. If wanted for frankfurters, stretch the rounds lengthwise, or shape the risen dough into long, narrow buns. Place on greased baking sheet about two inches apart. Let rise until light pressure of finger leaves a dent on dough. Bake about 20 minutes in fairly hot oven, 400 degree F. Take from oven and brush tops with meited

THE DRESSING TABLE drawer is proBably one of the hardest of all to keep In order. It's practical to line the drawer with a glazed ichintz or oil cloth that can be washed with a damp cloth frequently. Spare puffs and cleaning pads and cotton should be kept in icovered boxes; hairpins, emery boards, orangewood sticks, etc. in {small containers. It's sensible, too, to buy only those cosmetics which vou are really going to use regularly.

The Question Box

Q—How can badly tarnished pewter be cleansed? A—Use a paste made of rotten{stone and linseed oil applied with a soft cloth, then wash, rinse and dry the metal. For pewter in bad condition, use No. 00 steel wool and linseed oll, or a coarse scouring powder. Very black pewter cannot be cleansed satisfactorily by home methods, but it can be burnished by a silver- or coppersmith. For a bright finish, make a cream of fine whiting and denatured alcohol and apply it with a soft cloth. Allow it {to dry and then polish. After polishing, rinse and dry the piece. Q Suggest some good, simple desserts for little children. A Tapioca cream, soft or baked custard, rice pudding and bread pudding. Ice creams and sherbets are good milk desserts. Simple gelatin desserts are also good and children like them. Q—What is a prime muskrat skin?

You can begin being more effi{cient by getting better work out of your wardrobe. Here's a very simple key to im{proving your wardrobe. Just look lat it. Write down on paper what {you need and what you have. Then go to your closet and see how many of last year’s things are in good condition. Think over the whole thing, decide what to buy and when to buy it. You'll be surprised how much this helps in shopping, especially if you've been a haphazard shopper. For once you have your whole wardrobe clearly in mind, vou'll automatically shop for things that go together—and you won't think frantically of your budget. Every working wardrobe requires some basic garments, and those are much easier to choose now that versatile clothes are plentiful. You need at least a good-looking suit and blouse, another blouse or a sweater, a wool dress for work or any informal party, another frock that dresses “up” for a date or “down” for work, and a fur or furtrimmed coat.

Modern women select foundation garments that give adequate figure control with the maximum of comfort, New on the market is a girdle with garters made in one seamless, boneless garment assuring the wearer smooth, suave lines. Made of liquid latex, in pale shades of pink and blue, or white, it is said never to “ride up” or chafe. The new garment is also porous and extremely light in weight, resilient, and beautifully launderable. Simply rinse in mild suds, pat with an aborbent towel and it is dry and ready to wear again. The fact that the garter is made in one piece with the girdle and of the same elastic material is said to prevent the sharp, sudden pull which so often causes hosiery to run.

THE GERMS of boils belong to! the staphylococcus family. They are | a common kind of germ, found] nearly everywhere, and can get through the skin to start trouble if there is a tiny scratch or cut. Shaving and very short haircuts may lead to boils. Frequent, thorough bathing and washing, which removes the staphylococci, may help

to prevent boils. In the early stages of a superficial boil when the spot is still hard, the main thing to do is to leave it alone. The doctor may put some medicine on and he may paint the surrounding skin with iodine, alcohol or other antiseptic to keep it from getting infected. Generally boils get well by themselves, coming to a head, breaking and discharging a little fluid, and in about a week the core and pus come out. At a certain stage the doctor may order hot compresses to soften the hard core of dead tissue so that it and the pus will come out easily. Dry dressings or bandages are used when the boil reaches the healing stage. A boil which involves or threatens to involve a vein must be cut out at once, Some doctors treat boils with a vaccine made from the patient's own blood. Sulfathiazole, one of the new chemical remedies, is a potent remedy against staphylococcus germs, but I heard one authority say it is too drastic a treatment to use for boils.

4-H Club Camp Ends Its 14th

Session

Marion County 4-H Club girls are returning to their homes today after four days of camping on the Indianpolis Boy Scout reservation. The period was the 14th annual camping sesslon for 4-H cooking and sewing club members. Among the handicraft classes were those in wood-burning, taught by Miss Carolyn Minnick; in weaving and in various kinds of needlework. Other activities were swimming, hiking and nature study, taught by James Kerhoff. Final night at camp was cabin stunt night, with each group presenting special acts. Boy Scout as- | sistants who maintained the camp | auiing the week worked up another skit to present to campers.

Remove Rust Stains From Cement

If rust stains on the cement floor of the garage are one of life's seasonal problems for you this time of year and ordinary scrubbing doesn’t take them out, here's a treatment under which even the most stubporn stains and marks will usually “come clean.” It's simple, too. Dissolve one part of sodium citrate in six parts of water and mix thoroughly with an equal volume of glycerine. Mix a portion of this solution with powdered whiting to form a paste that is just stiff enough to be spread on a stain in a thick coat. This will dry in a few days, after which it should be replaced by a new layer or softened by the addition of more of the glycerine-con-taining liquid. Several applications may be necessary, but the results usually warrant the effort. Quicker results may
