TO TABLE PRETTY AND HEALTHY Dainty Colorings and Simple Designs With Sprigs of Green Make Meal Attractive, Aiding Digestion. Food may be of the best quality and perfectly cooked but if it is put on the .able in a helterskelter fashion or served on sticky, cracked dishes, it will fall short of nourishing the body as Tully as is possible. There are other things that influence the digestion, things that may seem trivial at first glance but that have been proven by time and experience. On the other hand, if it is necessary to plan inexpensive meals the food will give more strength if care is taken to make it attractive. It is a recognized fact that food digests more quickly when the mind and eye rests on the beautiful. The table itself, even if it is of the plainest wood, must be free from stickInes or dirt. Economize in quantity if necessary but have spotlessly clean tablecloths and napkins, doilies of different kinds may be substituted for the cloth. Pretty lunch cloths of inex pensive materials and with a touch of color perhaps, afford frequent changes and lessen the amount of work. Avoid Gaudy Designs. An ample stock of pretty blue and white or plain white china is better than a few pieces of costlier ware that is chipped or cracked. Wonderfully pretty china of dainty design can be bought nowadays at very low cost. Simplicity of pattern and delicacy of color are better taste than glaring designs and gaudy colors. Whenever possible have a bit of ereen on the table; not a tall piece ihat one must sight around to speak to the person opposite him, but a low, unobstructive decoration of some sort. Leaves, baskets, fruit, flowers and myriads of combinations suggest themselves to a skillful housekeeper. For a few cents one can buy enough parsley (with a little effort it can be grown on the kitchen windowsill) to make the plainest of meat dishes, salads and leftovers look fresh and dainty. A plain cornstarch pudding may be moulded and served with a bit of lruit or cream on top. A salmon leaf with a border of peas is twice as attractive as without. Boiled rice and diced carrots also offe. variations of the border idea. No matter how simple the meal is, let the table show absolute cleanliness md attention to detail, and this will etve a result that can be obtained in no other way. The homemaker is well repaid for the extra thought by the unconscious influence it works on the other members of the family. Had Trouble With Her Stomach. "About four years ago I began to have trouble with my stomach and found it necessary to eat sparingly," writes Mrs. Bernice Wyandt, Lima, Ohio. "There was a dull and heavy feeling in my stomach after eating that was most uncomfortable. I was also annoyed by frequent headaches. After taking a number of medicines without benefit I ernt a hnttlo nt Chamberlain's Tablets and found they! were just tne tnmg. Two bottles of them rid me of this complaint." For sale by all dealers. (Advertisement) Married Life Fourth Year BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. Warren scowled at the array of highly colored posters that graced the front of Ketchem's Moving Picture Palace. "Nothing but thrillers. Come on, there's another place up here. Let's see what they've got." The bright lights of another "movie" house shone out a block or so ahead. But as they drew near the flaming posters proclaimed even more spectacular films. Apparently the star feature was "The Viper's Fangs," and the lithographs showed a hair-raising scene of a man, tied and gagged, being lowered over the side of a vessel into the black waters beneath, while a shrieking woman, with flowing hair, was held back by swarthy Bailors. Warren viewed thiB work of art with a grunt. "Well, what shall we do? Try another place or take a chance here?" "Oh, I suppose they're all about the ame," answered Helen. "And there aren't any more near here, are there?" Warren thrust his hand into his pocket and approached the ticket window. "Don't Btand in the aisles, please! Keep within the fire lines!'" called the usher, as they entered the darkened, crowded house. Helen clung to Warren's arm and stood on tip-toes trying to see over the shoulders of those standing in front of her. The picture on the screen was an .elaborately furnished library with a man in evening dress In excited controversy with a younger man in shabby clothes.

HOW

MAKE

WAYS OF ADDING BEAUTY TO HOME

If we must economize these troublous war times let it be in the way of candy and picture shows. It is never economy to stint the family of eggs and milk, especially a family of growing children. A long narrow room furnished with two square rugs is more effective than with a long rug. Figured curtains may be used in a room with plain paper while plain curtains look better in rooms with figured paper. stairs," suggested Helen, who hated to stand in a crowd. A RUSH FOR SEATS. "Oh, we'll get seats when this picture's over. What's it all about, anyway? One of those three reelers?" "Is that man her husband?" Helen had been trying to make out the story. "And whose child is that?" The film ended abruptly on a scene in which the older man signs a paper, and the woman falls on her knees before him. As the picture flashed off there was a general stir, and a dozen or more people came up the aisle. But those standing ahead made a rush for the best seats. "If they'd only have the seats reserved," complained Helen, as they had to go far down in front. "I'd think everybody would be willing to pay a little money to avoid this scramble." "Miranda's Beau, a Comedy," was the next picture, a roaring slap-stick farce, at which Warren laughed and which put the house in an uproar. Then came "An Artist's Find." The first picture showed an attic studio, a sick wife and the artist, who has received an order for a small picture. Having no money to buy the canvas he starts out to pawn his overcoat. "Oh, this is taken in Paris," whispered Helen, as the artist passed a street cafe cn his way to the pawnshop. "It's in the Latin Quarter, too don't you remember that corner?" eagerly. "Dear, I think we've been in that very cafe." "Oh, you can't tell all those street places look alike." Having pawned his overcoat, the artist stops at a curio shop, where he selects from a pile of old canvases one of the desired size. He takes it home, washes off the landscape daub, and finds underneath a Madonna by an old painter. But threadbare as was this story, the street scenes and settings were real and the parts well acted. "Dear, we're so near, it hurts my eyes. Can't we get farther back now? Look, there are some seats back there across the aisle." Warren, who hated to crawl out over people, grumblingly gathered up his stick, hat and overcoat. A FEUD STORY. The next was a Kentucky feud story, lurid with revenge. Helen moved restively. She hated the constant shooting emphasized by the bangng of the kettle-drum. "You're too blamed critical," commented Warren. "Those Western plants have to do something with their companies." "But this isn't a Western picture." "It isn't eh? That's a California ranch, and those Kentucky Moonshiners are the cowboys that used to swagger around with fur breeches and sixshooters. Now they've switched over to rifles, rusty frock coats, illicit distilleries and 'feuds.' Wonder how they'll work in the horses. Must have been a pretty hard blow to those Western chaps when the public got tired of watching 'em ride." They did work in the horses, in a thrilling ambush scene, and Helen clutched Warren's arm as a horse was shot down with his rider. "Oh, that's brutal! It oughtn't to be allowed," in an indignant whisper. "How DARE they shoot horses just to make pictures?" "Now just simmer down that's a trick horse." The opening scene of the next film was laid in an office, with an impressive array of typewriters, letter files and safes. The plot then broadened out. "Dear, he's rather good. He's very natural, don't you think?" as the man

HEAT AHD FILTERS FACTORS III MAKING GOOD GRAPE JUICE

Liquid Should Not Boil Any Time Between Crushing of Fruit and Sealing of the Jars. To make unfermented grape Juice at home select the grapes to be used by the same standard that any other fruit requires, using only clean, sound grapes, well-ripened but not too ripe. Crush and press the grapes with the hands or with an ordinary cider mill if one is to be had. Put the crushed grapes in a clean cloth bag and twist and squeeze until the greater part of the juice is forced out. In heating the juice, a thermometer is invaluable and should register between 180 degrees to '2'JO degrees F, but if a thermometer is not part of the kitchen equipment, heat the juice until it steams but do not allow it to boil. This heating should be gradual and the juice not allowed to come in contact with the fire. If the double boiler is not large enough, the same result is obtained by setting one kettle inside another. Let Juice Settle. The juice should now settle 24 hours and then be carefully strained. Several pieces of flannel make an acceptable strainer. A cone shaped filter of woolen cloth having a wired top is a little easier to use. Now pour the juice into sterile bottles but do not fill entirely as the juice must have room to expand during the final heating. Fit a thin board over the bottom of an ordinary wash boiler to act as a false bottom and set the filled bottles or fruit jars in it. Fill the boiler with water to within an inch of the top of the bottles and heat gradually until the water is about to simmer. Now take the bottles out and cork them immediately. It is a good idea to take the further precaution of sealing the corks over with sealing wax or paraffin to prevent mold germs from entering through the corks. The reasons for muddy grape juice are that the juice was not well filtered, or that the temperature was too high in the last heating. It is well to put it up in bottles the size of a likely required amount as the juice will quickly spoil if allowed to remain open for any length of time. Too larrje bottles or jars are not economical in the long run. dictated a letter to his stenographer. "Fair. Girl's not bad either, but she can't fake her typewriting. Too many leaders," as another caption was flash- i ed on. "Why don't they let the pictures tell the story?" "And the wording's so stilted 'Carl Griscom Is a Suitor for the Hand of Ruth,'" read Helen. "Why not 'Carl Wants to Marry Ruth'? that's simpler." "That's good photography," declared Warren. "Good lighting up act," as a butler entered a darkened room and turned up the light. A well-taken picture always appeal-! ed to Warren. He was a good amateur ' photographer, and was quick to appre- ! ciate any special effects in focus ana lighting. "Ain't that the same man we saw in that feature film last night?" asked j a woman's voice behind them. "Yes; and he's got on that same fur. overcoat." Helen looked at the fur-lined coat which the man threw to the butler ! with a lordly air, and wondered in how j many pictures it had served. i The next scene showed Ruth, weak i from lack of food, falling in the snow, 1 and being driven over by the sleigh of j her former employer. "Oh, how could they get that?" for the picture showed Ruth falling, showed the sleigh passing over her arm, and then her efforts to arise. 1 "Substituted a dummy when the !

Easy Tests Indicate Linen Fabric Quality

Cotton "has today .supplanted linen in many of its uses but it still has certain and numerous places that cannot be usurped. Linen is made from fibers taken from the stock of the flax plant grown in Europe and America. The fibers are long and rich looking, strong and durable and snow white when bleached. The luster of the fiber enables the fabric to shed soil easily, but the tendency to wrinkle is one objection to its use in the wardrobe. Linen is difficult to dye and colors often fade, making it wise to buy always the most, durable colors. Flax fiber is expensive to grow and to manufacture and necessarily the finished fabric must demand a good price. Cheap linen is an impossibility and the purchaser that pays the high price should know enough about it to recognize the piece worth the money and the adulterated piece. Linen is often mixed with a large per cent, of mercerized cotton which when starched and finished is very difficult to distinguish from the real linen portion. Enumerates Tests. Tests that will safeguard the buyer are many. Linen threads break with an uneven, pointed end, whereas cotton threads break with an even tufted end. By rubbing the two fabrics briskly between the fingers there is a marked difference to be seen. Cotton goods will be rough due to the ends of the short fibers while the surrace of the linen material will stay smooth. Oil or glycerine dropped on linen will leave a transparent spot, on cotton the spot will be opaque. sleigh ran over her. Didn't you see that slight hitch? Clever work, too," approved Warren. Then came the announcement of the spectacular feature "The . Viper's Fangs." "We'll pass that up." Warren arose. "Guess we've had our ten cents' worth come on." Helen pinned on her hat and they made their way out. "Pretty good show," as he paused in the lobby to button his coat. "And some of those films were very expensive," reflected Helen. "The photography and the settings were all fine." Helen took his arm impulsively. "Dear, everybody's writing scenarios why shouldn't we try?" Warren sniffed. AN IDEA. "Well, we could write better stories than we've seen tonight." "That wouldn't be doing a whole lot." "Oh, if we could only write some REAL stories," persisted Helen. "Not spectacular films, but stories of everyday life. A young couple starting housekeeping, for instance. Show them renting their apartment, buying furniture, fixing it up all the little domestic incidents. Wouldn't that be interesting?" "Um-m, but where's your story?"

Soak a sample of the suspected material in sulphuric acid. The cotton will be washed out leaving the linen untouched. Linen absorbs moisture readily and should be used for dish towels. Because of,its beautiful texture and the fact that it sheds soil easily it makes the handsomest table cloths. It is the most suitable material for household fancy work because of its whiteness and the permanency of its bleach. It

I'm sure if somebody would write a series of domestic stories that were REAL oh, I KNOW they'd make an appeal. If only I could write them!" wistfully. "Well, since about nine-tenths of the populace are trying to write for the movies, I guess the companies can worry along without your contributions."
