STORING WINTER CLOTHING.
Along with the other housecleaning
problems there is the one of storing
the winter clothing. It is here that
the old adage, "An ounce of preven-
tion is worth a paned of cure," ap-
plies, for to have silk and woolen and
furs from the wily moth, one must
use every preventative.
To store unused woolens, silks and
furs in an attic or clothespress will
serve as an excellent breeding place
for' the moth. It is. best that all such
material should be carefully cleaned
before storing in order that no moths
be present.
They may be put up in several dif-
ferent ways with a degree of safety.
Paper bags 4r pasteboard boxes may
be used for storage of these materials,
but care must be taken to seal them
carefully with gummed strips before
putting them aside, A generous sup-
ply
of moth balls may be sprinkled in S
to serve as an added precaution.
Clothing free from moths may be
stole nn cedar chests of tight wooden
inside with the oil of red cedar. TMs!
method is much to be preferred, since
odor of red cedar wood is pleasant to
most people.
All washable woolens should be'
washed and ironed before storing.
Clothing must be aired, brushed and
sponged before being packed away.1
Carpets and rugs should We cleaned
and swept with a damp broom' dipped
in kerosene. Infested areas of car-
pets may be steamed, using a wet
towel and a hot fiat -iron.
Closets from which moth -infested
clothing has been removed should be
wiped down with a damp mop mois-
tened with kerosene, since the larva,
when ready to pulpate, ofttimes mi-
grate for their food supply and fasten
themselves to the ceiling and shelves.

In the selection of new home or kit -1
chen conveniences it is well to learn
the opinions of other housekeepers be -1
fore investing. What may appear to
be a convenience might really become
an expensive . inconvenience. With a
few well chosen conveniences the farm
wife can do her work much more effi-
ciently than if.she has too many.
We need, then, with an open mind
to choose the new methods, sugges-
tions and conveniences according to
our daily needs, that our work will be
easier and that me may have a few
minutes for recreation and fresh air.1
MOTHER'S OCCUPATION 1
On the enrollment card for young
people to fill out on- entrance to col-
lege, there is,va request for the' name
or parent or guardian, then the nave
of their occupation. One boy, whose
father was dead, gave his mother's
name on the parent line and on the
blank requesting occupation he wrote'
the word "Mother."
There has been a lot of discussion!
in the past year about who are the
great women. There are so many
fathers, daughters, sons and friend of
mothers who have planted in their
hearts the picture of some woman—
in most cases their own mother—
whose life was or is obscure. They.
cannot prove to the world her great-
ness, but they will not allow fame;
to place a name above their nothers.1
Several women who have won fame'
in careers are now telling the world
that were they to choose again it'
would be for a hone, husband and
children. Perhaps even the census
man may some day take the school-°
boy's• suggestion and admit that the;
occupation of mother is worthy of the'
name.
USING MAPLE SYRUP.
On. days when you are too tired to
fuss with an elaborate dessert, try
this one:
Cover a fresh slice of bread, cut
about an inch thick and two or three
inches square, with fresh maple
syrup or shaved maple sugar. Serve
with thin cream.
Maple Cream Filling—Cook three-
fourths cupful of maple syrup, and a
tablespoonful of butter, then pour
gradually into the stiffly beaten
whites of two eggs. When mixture is
smooth, add one-half cupful of whip-
ped cream, and a few drops of maple
syrup.
Maple Syrup Cake--% cup butter,
3 rounding tablespoons sugar, 1%
cups maple syrup, 4 tbsp. cream, but-
termilk, 2 esp. soda, 2. eggs, 4% cups
flour; 1 tsp. cream of tartar.
Crean the butter. Add the maple
syrup. Put cream in, a cup and fill
with buttermilk. - Add soda and stir.
Add well -beaten eggs and flour to
which cream of tartar has been added.
Spices, nuts or fruit may be added if
one wishes to change the maple flavor.
Bake in a loaf.
LEARNING FROM OTHERS.
A homemaker without an open mind'
Is like a turtle encasing herself in a
hard shell at the mere approach of a
suggestion. Her home may be solid
along structural lines but its progress
is slow and will not keep apace.with
the moving tide of new ideas.,
You have met the woman who can-
not accept a new idea from another
person until it has become so incor-
porated in her mind that she is con-
vinced that she thought of it herself.
That friend is defrauding her family,
her friends end herself of the increas-
-ed comfort and happiness that greater
progress in the -development of leer
home might afford.
Seine of the best 'methods relating
;,to our home 'job we may learn from
our friends, if we will only select them
wisely and adopt thein for our own.
Each housekeeper works out soiree
part of her daily schedule just a little
more carefully than does some other,
friend and close observation even
without questions will surprise one to
see ,just how many steps Mrs. S. does

man's arm went round her and tight-

From his pocket Kirby drew the
envelope upozn' which he had a few
hours earlier penciled the time sche-

"One of the points that struck ane
earliest about this mystery was the
man who solved it would have to work
out pretty close to the time element.

Uncle James were inhis rooms. They

the time as carefully. as I could. Here's
