Some new and yet fully tried household recipes follow, from Lake County women, entered in competition for the prizes which will be announced later. Some of them are: LIGHTING THEHOME. Where electric lights are. used. For indirect lighting with singib bowl us flfl watt bulb for medium size room. 75 uatt for large room. In bowl and 3 lirop lig-hts use 20 watt in bowl and 20

watt In each drop light, using 3 drop lights at one time gives a better distribution of light and costs no more :han the one 60 watt, the 3 burning at once give a much nicer appearance. Where 4 drops are used used four 15 watt bulbs. In bed rooms, unless an unusual strong light is desired, 40 watt gives a Rood light. Same can be used ordinarily for bath room, 20 watt for halls, basement ways, porch and pantry hghts. 60 watt is most always necessary for good light in kitchen. In buying bulba be careful not to get carbon hulbs they burn more electricity, giving 1-ss light for your money. "With this r rrangement and good use of dark push button on your switch you will notice ? difference in your light bill. Yours truly, M. E. "WILSON". 249 Highland St.

HOW TO SAVE STEPS IN THE HOME Have a Hoosier kitchen cabinet in vour kltrhon. Iso soft and hard water

with a sink, toilet and bath, have the

home wired with lights, electric washing machine and iron. Have your laundry stove water and tubs and machine all on the same floor. Be careful to have a place for everything, then put it there and see that all those that use them do the same. See that the children put their things away, hang their clothes up and put their chairs back where they belong. Books that should be in the home: Holy Bible, recipe book and doctor book. Tried Seclpes. Ginger Bread: One cup dark molasses, one cup sugar one cup sour milk, two tablespoons lard or butter, two teaspoons Royal baking powder one of soda, dissolved in a little hot water, two tees, one teaspoon each of ginger, cinamon, and flour, enough to make a soft batter. Bake in a modest oven. To Remove Iron Suit From Clothing. Apply lemon Juice and salt and lay in the 6un. One or two applications will remove all rust. How to Keep Tab On the Kiddles. First teach them to stay in their own yard. Impress this upon neir minds while they are small and if they go out then make them go to bed for an hour. Punish them right at the time you found them out of the yard and when you send them anywhere and they don't come back when you think they ought to, go and see why they are not coming and if it is their fault punish them by not letting them play any more that day. When they go to school see that they are there on time and see that they are

home on time and don't allow them to J play with other children without they I ask and don't let them go often. See

that they tell you the truth. What Husbands Can So To Help. The husband can be pleasant and Jolly and not finding fault when things go wrong, that helps some. Then he can build fires In the mornings, on wash

days he can put on the water and put up the lines and get the tubs and everything ready. He can always hangs his clothes up where they belong, keep his shoes where they belong and put his paper up when Tie is through reading it. MRS. NELLIE GLAVIX, Crown -Point, Ind.

DOES IT PAY TO OWN A HOME? The question often comes up to young

Capes which were in such high fa- ; vor during the spring and summer are to be even more m demand this fall it would seem. This one of seal brown velour and taffeta is very chic. The smart hat is of dark brown panne velvet and is a variation of the Napoleanic tricorn. folks who are newly married: Shall we invest in a home of our own or shall we wait? Why wait? Rent has to be paid on some house why not let it be your own? And in the course of a couple of years you would be surprised to see the hard earned dollars you have paid out and in a short time have a home of your own und be independent. MRS. R. H. GOGG. 447 Summer St.. Hammond, Ind.

HARMONY IN THE HOME. One of the grandest traits a home ian possess, to begin with it means a desire to have and an effort on prin-

cipaly Father and Mother, mostly mother. Each one should be taught kindness and also to know how very nice it is to be agreeable, how much more we acquire through be'ng nice than any other way. The nature of children should be studied by the parents and an effort made to bring out the best and finest of their natures. They should be riven certain duties to perform and at all ages should be kept as contented as possible. Discontent ruins many a disposition. I think parents should try more kindness in their training children but at all times be firm. It doesn"t take much to have (Harrnony in the Home.) if it is desired and started at an early date. Good system means much toward Harmony.

To have a place for each one's personal belongings with lots of encouragement to keep them there are like treasures storpd away ahead for Harmony In the home later on. Just an effort will convince you that it Is well'worth trying. Harmony !n a Home Is very noticeable to other people and something that many envy. MRS. W. HARDER. 427 Hickory Street, Hammond. Ind.

HOW TO EQUIP THE HOME FOR MORE EFFICIENT OPERATION

We can equip the home for more evident operation by eliminating the unnecessary features. "Why should we have to clamber over a stove or bath tub to wash a window when a little planning would have remedied this? Women don't like to wash dishes any more than men do, but why make It harder by putting the sink In the darkest corner? And to use some laundry tubs I have seen one must be either a Lilliputian or a contortionist. Would any woman plan a house with a windowless cubyhole, and call It a pantry? Or windows so low that the shades must be almost to the top to be at the level of the eye? If more women would enter the home-building field It would lighten their sisters' burdens. They would have in mind the different articles which go Into every home, and would make provisions for space accordingly. Poors would not open back against windows, or the early morning caller be able to take In unwashed breakfast dishes, unmade beds and a paperstrewn living room in one sweeping glance. On the whole It is a woman's sized job. MRS. VT. R. SXEDDEX. 679 Hoffman St.. Hammond.

HOW TO GET THE GREATEST CO-OPERATION IN THE HOME May I be personal and give my own experiences in family co-operation? They have proved interesting and practical for us and may offer some-sugges

tion to others. We are four in family, my three children and myself and the two things upon which we have based

our system are these: First, a common fund, to which all contributed. not equally, but each according to his or her ability and from which the one most needy drew the most. The question of who was the most needy was settled by a family council, which was the second necessary party of the plan. This always resulted in three members sacrificing all their little wants to help the fourth attain his heart's desire. A few of the pleasures which could not otherwise have been afforded are, a camping trip for one boy. a trip home on

furlough from the east coast with money to Join the fraternity of his choice for the other; boarding school for their sister and for myself a chance to attend summer school. All extra pennies and "windfalls" went into a tin bank, which was opened whenever the family decided to celebrate a special occasion. MRS. ELIZABETH BEKDLE. -. 4845 Alexander avenue. East Chicago, Ind.

HOW TO EQUIP THE HOME FOR MORE EFFICIENT OPERATION Who today would think of opening up a competitive manufacturing plaet without the proper equipment? Good equipment means efficient operation. Equipment la Just as necessary ta the home as in the commercial cr Industrial world. Put In the home all the modern labor saving devices; nay. only a art of the many labor saving devices and note the difference between the efficiency of that home and the home with-' out such devices. Take the electric lights win tthe handy switches, the power washing machine, the electric Iron, the kitchen cabinet, the vacuum cleaner and the convenient and restful furniture away from the housewife who has long enjoyed these blessings and you take 5u per cent of her life awy; take all these modern and necessity conveniences and put them Into the home that has never enjoyed such things and life has a new meaning to that home. Money invested in this manner ) worth every cent It costs, because that much more is accomplished in the home. Its members feel happier and more comfortable. Thinga in the

home efficiently equipped run Just lllte clock work. J. C. M.

HOW TO SAVE STEPS IN THE HOME Considering myself an expert In saving steps in the home. I feel that I am in a position to offer come good suggestions along that line. It required quite a long search before I was able to get a rocker that could offer the comfort I was in search for, but success was mine finally, and saj. you would be surprised what a step raver that rocker is. I figure that between six p. m. and ten p. m . at least eleven hundred steps are knockoff my daily routine. One thing that has worried me considerably is how to eliminate the process of locking up the rabbits at bed time. This requires at least one hundred steps that ought to be avoided. If I work out an idea that will solve the problem I shall tell the

i word . j. It seems to me that chairs with rolj lers on the legs would eliminate lets

of steps.

It would allow the one

j occupying the chair to move about

from room to room without hardly any effort. I am an advocate of making the rooms smaller, too, because this eliminates many unnecessary steps. J ANNIES CLARE.

Do You Remember the Last Concert You Heard? Do you remember how regretful you were when the last clear note had died away, when the last chord had been struck? You felt that It would be months, years perhaps, before you heard that wonderful, inspiring music again. But you were wrong. You can repeat the concert that you enjoyed so much, in your own home, tonight and tomorrow night, and every night. On a Pathe Phonograph Think of it! At a moment's notice you can hear your favorite music, the arias from "Martha" or "Madame Butterfly" or Schumann's "Traumerie" on a masterly-played violin, or "Stars and Stripes Forever" by a military band, or "Onward Christian Soldiers," or just the lively syncopation of "Jazzo'a" or "I'll Say She Does." It's great this music for every mood the pure, clear tones and harmonies or the jolly swing and rhythm. On a Pathe, the music is reproduced with perfect accuracy. Really, if not reproduction at all; its duplication. Nothing of the original music is lost; nothing added. Lrsten to your favorite record on a Pathe (The Path !ays all makes of records and you'll marvel that music can be reproduced so exactly. In a Pathe, the famous Sapphire Bali, gliding smoothly around the record, eliminates the old-fashioned steel needles. No bother or delay in changing needles- And no expense. And every Pathe record is guaranteed to play 1000 times, because the Sapphire Ball can not cut or scratch. Let us play a Pathe for you. When you hear the pure clear tone, you'll never want to hear the ordinary talking machine again. Cordially. SUMMERS' PHARMACY.
