Apples lend themselves to a wide variety of uses in the diet. As much a't home with meats as with pastry, and as piquant to the taste in the old familiar “apple sauce” as in apple ice cream. The ap­ ple can be used in so many ways that you homemakers need never run out of novel ideas on cooking and serv­ ing. Hints On and Dress up your autumn suit with "some smart new blouses such as.these Attractive model. The first is of very thin taffeta plaided in red and blue on a yellow ground.

The storage space is most import­ ant. A separate room in the base­ ment of your home with a win­ dow in it is advisable. Do not hang cabbage upside-down unless the temperature is close to freezing because moisture collects in the leaves causing growth. 3. < Parsnips, carrots, beets and turn­ ips should NOT be washed. Brush off excess dirt with a soft brush and store in small quantities in crocks or similar containers. Cover tightly. A weighted board my do, if there is not' a cover for the utensil. Store pumpkin* and squash by wrapping well in two folds of pap­ er. Only dry and well matured ones will keep. Dry onions should be stored in a temperature of 40 to 50 degrees, just above freezing. Store1 apples and winter pears in slatted crates in cool, dry place. QUESTION BOX Mrs. L. F, asks: “Why does para­ wax loosen on some of my jars?” ANSWER: Large jars should be covered with a lid rather than para­ wax. Small containers of preserves should be cooled before parawax is added. Sometimes a second or third thin coating of melted wax has to be added if a crack forms around the edge of the jar. This is done without reheating the product. Miss I.

J, Boyle Whistling seemed to come by grees, While in our tender years used to marvel at the ability of a hired man to whistle in a way that was beyond words. On Sunday after­ noon he would sit on the back stoop in his stocking feet with a knife and a block of cedar and whittle and whistle by the hour. Grandmother used to be sitting in the rocker just inside the kitchen Moor. . . , and it seems only yesterday when we recall how she would unhook her black­ rimmed spectacles from her hair and lay them down in her lap with the knitting, Then with hands folded • . . eyes closed and her head sort, of tilted back she would rock ^nd , rock and- h.um softly in time with the whistling, Grandfather never was much to whistle. With his lips puckered up over toothless gums, his whistling was generally limited to rustling of the shaggy ends of- his moustache, His performance was also hampered by a lack of knowledge of tunes. , . although he considered that his ren­ dition of the “Flowers of Edinburgh ’was truly mastered, If someone sug­ gested that he whistle at a family gathering grandmother would always warn him not to, but he would push her aside with a playful little tap of his hand and proceed with a great deal of gusto to perform . . . much to the amusement of the guests. ( Dhole Jcj^iah used to work at our place in the summer months, never whistled except when he angry.'Thus, it was truly an exper­ ience to hear him whistle. Fixing binder-slats and canvas was one job he hated. I will remember hearing him whistling . . . darkly, and fiercely . ... and then the hammer would slip and he would inject words that,cert­ ainly did riot belong to. any musical score. They were words . . . both forceful and novel. At least, when as a boy I flaunted them at school my teacher decided tp apply censorship with a series of hard and resounding whacks on the palms of my hands with a leather?strap. Aunt Millie had a soft, shrill whistle that was very apt at times to get out of control. She would start out while peeling potatoes in the morning . . . adhere to the key for a little while . . . and then allow it to go away off at random. Grand­ mother, who was musical by nature, would put up with it for so long and then say, ’“Millie, for heaven’s sake stop that infernal racket.” Millie would pout for an hour or two . . . but by the end of the day she .Would on a;, mean being start up again. People used to be conceited over their whistling. It was considered a credit to the family to have a good­ whistler in it, They were in constant demand at. garden parties and various social functions. The hardest misfor­ tune that a whistler would have would be to be placed on an unsheltered platform at a garden party on a windy night, ., and the listeners would hear it in much the same way as they do- a transatlantic broadcast now poor day for reception, Father was- a whistler of nd ability. He prided himself on able at times to “double-whistle” . , , but for the life of me I could never figure out when it was. When the- farm was going well and everything §eemed right with the world he 'would’ whistle by the hour . . a pleasant- contented sort of whistle, We had a neighbor with a very powerful whistle. The only drawback was that he had to have something to “wet” his whistle before he could really do justice to his tune. After four or five drinks of powerful “apple cider” fortified by a secret process- which he guarded closely he would, go to town in earnest. His only trouble was that he didn't know when- to stop taking the cider, with the re­ sult that his whistling became very wavery. Finally it came only in snat­ ches as he tried in vain to pucker up* in the proper way to get it smoothly , . , but his lips would go into the right shape. We were always rather shy whistling. Mainly, it was done on the way to school “My Wild Irish Rose’r seemed to be the only tune . . . and' we had trouble keeping it from getting mixed up with another tune that father used to whistle.' Day-dreaming in school „one day we were trying to- pur-se our lips to get the full benefit) of the number, When by some strange-, mischance a shrill blast was emitted. Teacher looked up in surprise and in­ vited us up to the front of^the school to put on a concert for the pupils. For days afterwards we had to- fight at every1 recess and noon-hour to beat down hecklers who persistetd; in saying “Whistler.” going. never about He was “What do you mean?” roared the- politician, “by publicily insulting me in your old rag of a paper. I will not stand for it and I demand an immed­ iate apology.” “Just a moment,” answered the' ed­ itor. “Didn’t the news item appear exactly as you gave it to us, namely,, that you have resigned as city treas­ urer?” “I did, but where did you put it?— in the column under the heading ‘Public,.
