You can convert a miscellaneous group of fibre or reed furniture into a good-looking set for the sun parlor or a set to be used later on the ver- andah. A chair or table that has lost its freshness througheuse on the ver- andah may be made attractive enough for a bedroom or living room. Paint them old ivory, choosing a light, medium or dark finish. First see that your chair or table is free from dust, A good brushing is usually enough. The hose may be turned on reed furniture, but it should be thoroughly dry before you begin to paint. Next give the piece of furniture a coat of flat white paint and allow it to dry for several days at least. Then give it a coat of white enamel and allow this to dry for at least three days. A week is better. If you want the light or yellowish old ivory finish get a pound of chrome yellow and mix with turpentine. Paint the piece of furniture all over wee this. With a Tintless cloth then wipe off all you can of the yellow. You cannot reach the inner surfaces, so these are left the deeper tint char- acteristic of old ivory finish. Enough of the yellow is left on the outer sur- faces of the enamel to give the faint cream tint. If the article is rather large you should paint only part of it and then begin to rub it off before the yellow gets too dry. If you wish a medium ivory finish, use raw sienna instead of the chrome yellow. For the brown tones use burnt umber. The painting, you will find, makes your furniture stronger and firmer as well as smoother and prettier. If mending is necessary it should, of course, he done before you paint. Cretonne cushions and pads made out of one design will aid in leaking your assembled articles look as if they belonged together. COLD DRINKS FOR HOT DAYS. When the hot days come upon us the appetite craves something cool and refreshing and fruit juices in suitable combination, slightly sweet- ened and diluted, are best suited to strengthen and refresh the inner man —or woman—or child. Lemons, oranges, fresh pineapples, limes, all fresh summer fruits and berries, spices, extracts, pure water, ginger ale and carbonated water are useful ingredients. In serving summer drinks at home make them attractive by serving them in `tall, well -polished glasses garnished with a slice of fruit on the edge of the glass or a few bright cherries or a sprig of mint in the top of each glass. Fruit Lemonade —2 lemons, 1 orange, 1 quart water, 4 slices pine- apple, % cup sugar, ice. Squeeze the juice from the lemons and half the orange into a bowl. Add the sugar and stir well, then add the water and stir until the sugar is all dissolved. Slice the remaining half of the orange into quarter -inch slices, cut the pineapple slices into quarters and set the bowl into a cold place until ready to serve. Plain lemonade is made the same way, omitting the other fruits. Iced Tea -4 level teaspoons tea, 1 quart boiling water, 4 slices lemon, ice. Pour boiling water over the tea, cover closely and let stand to steep about three minutes. Then pour off the tea from the leaves and let stand until cold. For serving, add cracked ice and a slice of lemon to each glass and let each person sweeten the tea to taste. Tall glasses are best for iced tea in order to hold the ice. Fruit Punch -2 quarts water, 4 cups sugar, 3 cups pineapple, 1 cup raspberry syrup, 1 cup lemon juice, 2 cups orange juice, 1 cup preserved cherries. Boil the water, sugar and the chop- ped pineapple together for twenty minutes, then add the other ingredi- ents and chill. When ready to serve, dilute with ice water and serve with cracked ice.' Orange Egg Shake—Juice of 1 orange, 1 fresh egg, 2 teaspoons sugar, small piece ice. Put the orange juice, whole egg and the sugar in a deep bowl and beat thoroughly with an egg beater until all is well blended. Pour into a tall) aliuun„m,,,,,u,nau1.n++1n Soaking takes the place of rubbing— UST by soaking the clothes in the suds of this new soap,dirt is gently loosened and dissolved. Even the dirt that is ground in at neck- bands' and cuff -edges yields to a light rubbing with dry Rinso. Not a thread is weakened, The mild Rinse suds work thoroughly through and through the clothes without injury to a single fabric. Rinso is made by the makers of Lux. For the family wash it is as wonderful as Lux .is for tine things. All grocers and department stores sell Rinso.

Put the maple syrup and cream into a glass. Pour in the ice cold ginger ale to nearly fill the glass. Beat hard with a spoon and serve. Iced Grape Juice -1 quart grape juice, 1 cup sugar. Look over .the grapes and discord all imperfect' ones. Wash well and cook until the seeds and the skins separate easily. Press the grape pulp through a jelly bag.

This is fine for a field drink. ON A SEWING TRIP. A friend who had dropped In as I was about to cut out a new dress noticed by my side a light matting dress suitcase, "Are you going on a trip?" she asked. "Going on a sewing. trip," I replied. She looked puzzled until.I opened the suitcase and revealed the goods and trimmings for a dress. In the wide straps tacked with small up- holstery tacks to the inside of the lid were patterns, scissors and other things needed in sewing. Also tacked to the lid were little cushions for pins and needles. At each end of the suit- case were pockets for thread, thimble, buttons, and so on. "Such a splendid idea," said my friend. "The lid keeps out the dust, and you have everything together." It certainly does save labor hunting for things when I go to sew. When the inevitable interruptions come I close up the case and put it out of the way. It is easy to carry it to any part of the house, or outdoors if I wish to sew there.—Mgry Mason.

Mix % lb. of flour and 1/4 lb. of powdered whiting well .together and put in front of the fire or in a cool oven to warm through. Lay the ermine on a clean cloth or towel and rub in the mixture. Shake the fur out of doors and beat lightly with a cane. Repeat the treat- ment if necessary. LABELING CANNED GOODS. Labeling canned goods in either glass or tin is quickly and easily done if you write directly on the surface with a crayon or china -marking pen- cil while the contents are still hot. The crayon melts slightlybecause of. theheated jar or tin and on cooling is a clear label. Red, yellow and orange are good colors to use for.thi9.. Black may also be used on tin but red is quite as clear. Again with tin, the label niay be written on before the can goes into the hot-water bath. The cooking process tends to make the writing the clearer. Radium Keeps Clock Going for Ages Without Winding. Delegates to the American Radium Society saw radium act in a new Tole ata scientific exhibit held in connec- tion with the: convention. It was operating a clock, and demonstrated visually forthe first time a process the discovery of which is said to have re volutionized chemical and physical science. The radium, it was d.eclared, would keep the clock in operation for ages without winding, and for 2,500 years without readjustment, q Minard's Liniment for Headache. <. TtiE MATCH. • BY JAMES OLIVER .CURWOOD. PART II.. Brokaw rose to his feet, and pu fresh wood into the stove. "I guess ittniust be pretty hard." said, straightening himself. "But th law up here doesn't take them things into account—not very much. It ina It was in a lull of the wind, and hey t went close to Brokaw and spoke quiebe ly, his eyes shining more and mord he with that strange light that had come into them. e• "This is going to be a big sight y easier than hangjnl, or going to jail let you off with manslaughter ten o fifteen years. I hope it does. --Let' turn in." Billy stood up beside him. He wen with Brokaw to a bunk built agains the wall, and the sergeant drew a an steel chain from his pocket. Billy la down, his hands crossed over hi breast, and. Brokaw deftly fastene the chain about his ankles. "And I suppose you think this i hard, too," 'he added. "But I gues you'd do it if you were me. Ten year of this scat of wgrk learns you not t take chances, If you want anything in the night just whistle. It bad been a hard day with Bro kaw, and he slept soundly. For an hour Billy lay awake, thinking o home, and listening to the wail of th storm. Then he, too, fell into sleep= a restless, uneasy_slumber filled wit troubled visions. For a time ther had come a lull in the gale, but now it broke over the cabin with increased fury. A hand seemed slapping at th window, threatening to break it. Th spruce boughs moaned and twisted overhead, and a volley of wind and snow shot suddenly down the chimney forcing open the stove door so that a shaft of ruddy light cut like a re knife through the dense gloom of th cabin. In varying ways the sounds played a part in Billy's dreams. In a those dreams, and segments of dreams the girl—his wife—was present. Once they had gone for wild flowers an had been caught in a thunderstorm and had run to an old and disused barn in the middle of a field for shel ter. He was back in that barn again with her—and he could feel her trembling against him, and was strok- ing her hair, as th4 thunder crashed over them and the lightning filled her eyes with fear. After that there came to him a vision of the early autumn nights when they had gone corn roast- ing with other young people. He had always been afflicted with a slight nasal trouble, and smoke irritated him. It set him sneezing and kept him dodg- ing about the fire, and she had always laughed when the smoke persisted in following him about, like a young scamp of a boy bent on tormenting him. The smoke was unusually per- sistent to -night. He tossed in hip bunk and buried his face in the blan- ket that answered for a pillow. The smoke reached him even there, and he sneezed chokingly. In that instant the girl's face disappeared. He sneezed again—and awoke. A startled gasp broke from his lips, and the handcuffs about his wrists clanked as. he raised his hand to his face. In that moment his dazed senses adjusted themselves. The cabin was full of smoke, It partly blinded him, but through it he could see tongues of fire shooting toward the ceiling. He could hear the crackling of burning pitch, and he yelled wildly to Brokaw. In an instant the sergeant was on his feet. He rushed to the table, where he had placed a pail of water the evening before, and Billy heard the hissing of the water as it struck the flaming wall. "Never mind that," he shouted. "The shack's built of pitch cedar. We've got to get out!" Brokaw groped his way to him through the smoke and began fumb- ling at the chain about his ankles. "I can't—find—the—key—" he gasped chokingly. "Here—grab .hold. r X1)1 s) s. f e' e' d 11 d if .my life, Brakaw—an yot� don't think I'ni going to be fool enough to miss the chance, do you.?

An' it's coin. It's forty below, an' yve won't live the day out. We ain't got a. mouthful of grub. We ain't got clothes enough to keep us fro freezing inside the dimity, unless wd had a fire. Last night I saw you fill your match bottle and put it in you coat pocket Why, man, we ain't even got a mateli l" In his voice there was a thrill of triutnph. Brokaw's hands were clenched, as if some one had threat- ened to strike him. "You meant—" he gasped. "Just this," interrupted Billy, his voice harder than Brokaw's now. "The God you used to pray to when you was a kid has given me a choice Brokaw, an' I'm going to take it. If we stay by this fire, an' keep it up, we won't die of cold, but -of starvation. 'We'll be dead before we get half way t9 Thoreaus. There's an Indian's shack that we could make, but you'll never And it—not unless you unlock these irons and give me that revolver at your belt. Then I'll take you over there as my prisoner. That'll give me another chance for South America-- en' the kid at home." Brokaw was buttoning the thick col- lar of his shirt close up about his neck. Onhis face, too, there came for a moment a grim and determined , smile. , "Colne on," he said. "We'll make Thoreau's or die!" "Sure," said Billy, stepping quickly to. his side. "I suppose I might lie down in the snow, an' refuse to budge. I'd win my game then, wouldn't I? But we'll play it—on the square. It's Thoreau's or die. And it's up to you to find Thoreau's." He looked back over his shoulder at the burning cabin as they entered, the edge of the forest, and in the gray. darkness that was preceding dawn he smiled to himself. Two miles to the' south, in a thick swamp, was Indian' Joe's shack. They could have made it easily. On their way to Thoreau's they would pass within a mile of it. I But Brokaw would never know. And they would never reach Thoreau's. 1 Billy knew that. He looked at the man hunter as he broke tre;il ahead of him—at the pugnacious hunch of his shoulders, his long stride, the de -1 termined clench of his hands, and wondered what the -soul and the heart of a man like this must be, who in' such an hour would not trade life for life. For almost three-quarters of an hour Brokaw did not utter a word. The storm had broke. Above the spruce tops the sky began to clear. Day came slowly. And it was grow- ing steadily colder. The swing of Bro- lseew's arms and shoulders kept the blood in them circulating, while Billy's 'manacled wrists held a part, of his body almost rigid. He knew. that his hands were already frozen. His arms were numb, and when at"( last Brokaw paused for a moment on. the edge of a frozen stream Billy , thrust out his hands, and clanked the steel rings. "It must be getting colder," he said. "Look at that." of me!" He caught Billy under the arms and dragged him to the door. As he open- ed it the wind came in with a rush and behind them the whole cabin burst into a furnace of flame. Twenty yards from the cabin he dropped Billy in the snow, and ran back. Iee that seething room of smoke and fire was everything on "Cid, their lives de- pended, food, blankets, even their coats and caps and snowshoes. But he could get no farther than the door. Hereturned to Billy, found the key in his pocket, and freed him from the chain about his ankles. Billy stood up. As he looked at Brokaw the glass in the window broke and a sea of flame spurted through. It lighted up their faces. The sergeant's jaw was set hard. His leathery face was curious- ly white. He could not keep from shivering. There was a strange smile on Billy's face, and a strange look in his eyes. • Neither of the two men had undressed forsleep, but thein coats, .and caps, and heavy mittens were in the flames. Billy rattled his handcuffs. Brokaw looked him squarely in the eyes. "You ought to know this country," he said. "What'll we do?" "The nearest post' is sixty miles from„ here," said Billy. 'I knew that," replied Brokaw. "And I know that Thoreau's cabin is only twenty miles from here. There must be some trapper or Indian shack nearer than that. Is. there?" In the red glow of the fire Billy smiled. His teeth gleamed at Brokaw. ISSUE No.25-2 Chilt afterl every :eat It.ewstimalatejl appetite and aids digestion It makes your good do you more •good.
