Subscriber: ---Perhaps the following
will give you an idea for your bazaar:
At a church fair held reeently one
booth was noticeable for its business-
like appearaneeand for the large sign
on its arch, which read:
Economy ,Bootle
Pay Ten Cents And Learn How To Save
Ten Dollars
The curiou$ ,crowd that soon gath-
ered 'found the notice as good as its
word, for the committee in charge had
taken a. census of favorite economies.'
far and near, and "were prepared. to
male practical demonstrations of the
ideas
Each of the four sides was devoted
to a special class of demonstrations.
The cooking economies, of course, oc-
cupied the front. A good cook dem-
onstrated in a miniature kitchen some
of the acceptable dishes that can be
made from left -over portions of food
without spending more for new in-.
gredients than the left -overs are
worth. No dishes were prepared ex-
cept those that were actually based on.
material that otherwise would have
been wasted. The lesson in economy
was later emphasized by selling the
food at five cents a plate --the best
way of clinching the point. An as-
sistant in the kitchen' showed how to
peel fruit and vegetables with the
least possible waste, and another as-
sistant sold economy cookbooks.
The next counter wa.devoted to
economical ideas in sewing and mend-
ing. There the onlookers learned,
among other things, that old stock-
ings can ,be ' cleverly fitted with new
feet and the tops of new stockings re-
inforced against the wear and tear of
suspender garters, that a second lin-
ing' will .save theback breadth of a
silk underskirt, and that attractive
collar -and -cuff sets can be made from
worn linen skirts. Another counter
was given over to miscellaneous ideas
in economy illustrated by ingenious
little makeshifts of all kinds.
A sign over the fourth counter read,
elfow To Save Your Luxuries." The
demonstrations threw surprising light
on the way people sometimes waste
the supplies that cost most. A strik-
ing illustration • of the lesson was
furnished by two tallow candles of the
same size that were set burning side
by side at the same timer One had
been kept in the ice box, the other on
an open shelf, and it was interesting
to note how much longer the cold
candle Held out. Half of the same
counter was used for an exhibit of
things that may be profitably - saved
or sold. The samples included a col-
lection of magazines, a stack of news-
papers, some empty •bottles and a
quantity of tin foil. A ball of string
composed of many stiiiy lengths was
marked, "Save this—it costs three
times asmuch as it rased to cost:"
The economy booth is sure to be well
patronized and so it performe a donable
service,—collecting money and promot-
ing economy. A wide-awake com-
mittee will be able to think of num-
,erous other useful suggestions iii sav-
ing.
Hostess: —A `game that provides
instruction as well as fun makes a
double appeal and 'is sure to prove
popular. Well-known faces is a good
example of this kind of game, It is
played with a hundred or more cards
made of pictures of famous persons
cut from magazines or newspapers
and pasted on cardboard mounts of
uniform size. It is permissible to
have several different likenesses of
the sane individual. Beneath each
picture is inscribed the name of the
person, the place and date of his birth
and the reason why he is. famous.
Any number of players can take
part. Deal seven cards to each play-
er,, and lay the remainder in a"common
pile in the middle of the table. YThe
object of the game is to see which
player can first get rid of all his cards.
The first player draws a carol from the
pile, compares it with his - hand, and
proceeds to discard.as'many celebrities
as may be grouped with it, if 'the oth-
er players approve the classification'
that he makes.
For example, persons born the` same
year may be discarded together, or
those of the same calling,' or those
associated in the public mind with the
same cause. The most desirable
classification, naturally, is' that which
will `use up the greatest number of
cards.
The other players draw and discard
as their turns come. Each of them
has the additional privilege of 'adding
an appropriate cai:d to any group on
the table, provided that group' does
not already contain four cards, `which
constitute a complete book. The first
player who succeeds in ridding liiniself
of all his cards is entitled to one point
for each of the cards still held by his
companions, and is the winner of that
round. The more well-informed and
quick-witted a,,.player is, the sooner of
course he will play out his cards. ' The
game may, be played either for a cer-
tain s number -of rounds or until some
particular score has been reached.
Progressing from table to table will
add to the fun.

Answer—Nothing can be gained from
a discussion. Their mind is made up;,
they will be loyal to their ; God.
Furnace—That is, a smelting furnace.
There is not the slightest doubt in the
minds of the young Jews that if they
prove faithful and continue to trust
in their God, he will do the "impos-
sible" for them.. If not -They know
their God has' the power to deliver
them; but even if for any reason he
should fail to use his power, they will
not prove faithless. Golden image
There is no statement that it was the
image of a deity; it may have been
a representation of Nebuchadnezzar
himself . In either case, worship of
the statue would imply disloyalty to
Jehovah.

Son of the gods—A heavenly being,
an angel. The thought is that the
king saw an angelic figure by the side
of the three youths. Following verse
23 the Greek translations of Daniel
have a long insertion. It begins with
a description of how the three youths
walked in the midst' of the fire, prais-
ing God. It then narrates the con-
fession 'and prayer of Azariah, and
represents the three as uttering a
doxology, which leads on into a hymn
known as the Benedicite. The whole
is known as the Song of the Three
Holy Children. Its object is .._to
teach that piety and faith have their
reward. This is also the object of the
canonical book, and certainly of the
story in chapter "3.
Following the deliverance Nebuch-
adnezzar makes public acknowledg-
ment that the God of '' Israel is
supreme; while the three Jews receive
greater honors than had been theirs
before. During the Tylaccabean crisis

Daniel was written, a 'narrative .,like
this -would be of the greatest .inspira-
tional value, for it would furnish a
powerful incentive to maintain faith
in God.
Hog oilers too expensive? Then try
making some at home. Take old
gunny sacks or pieces of burlap and
tack or tie them on posts in the hog
lots where hogs are accustomed to
rub. Saturate the cloths with crude
oi]or stock dip, and see 'that the oil
is renewed every y few days. Go slow
about putting the. rags on trees, else
