Within -the eas reach of the work table or kitche cabinet have those utensils needed fo balefng and food. preparation—th measuring cups, mixing bowls, bread mixer, large spoons, containers fo' sugar, cereals, meat knife, and at spula: . Dishwashing is routine, oft -re peated"task welch can be done in an easier and quicker way than is"usually adopted.' If a wire -dish-drainer is used end bailing water is .poured on the dishes to rinse them, the largest part of the drying is avoided, as only the silver and' the glasses need to be dided with a towel. Instead of making a separate trip for every dish that has. to be carried to the cupboard, a woman will save herself many steps if she riles thein carefully on a tray and takes them all at. cne trip. If the meals have been planned be- forehand, and if some thought is' used, a day's supply of food materials can be brought from the cellar in the morning, instead of one or two trips being made before each meal, just as the need happens to arise, A. dumb- waiter is a great labor saver, since it can he lowered to the cellar between meals. This keeps the butter hard and the milk sweet. Again, by planning the meals ahead, they can be so planned as •to allow more time for some of the jobs which are performed once a week, Iike the washing, mending and cleaning. A dinner prepared in the fireless cooker on washday will take many cares from the mother's mind and ft will do the cooping without danger of burning. It has been said that a woman walks forty-six miles a year carrying her dishes to and from the cupboard. A wheel tray, which can be made by any- one who can handle tools, will easily reduce that ;number to less than six. A small oblong table with a lower shelf, mounted on castors, will answer the purpose. If used to wheel dishes from the cupboard to the dining room, it means one trip for setting the table. tie it'to carry the dishes filled wiith food; the.platter of meat, the dish of potatoes, the dish of vegetables,_ the coffee pot and the pie. All can be taken at one trip. The table can be cleared and all of the dishes wheeled away at one time. Mother can sit at the table instead of spending hers time between the table and the stove, • A home-made kitchen cabinet may! be Made from an ordinary kitchen' table. The shelf from which hang' spoons, ladles' and so forth, is 16 to' 18 inches wide and is supported by fear posts one and one-half inches square. The 4 two 'shelves under the table are 10 inches below the table. drawer. They extend the full width of the table and are supported by the table leg and poste,„one and one-half inches square.

Cat and Baby. l;i An ancient euperstitron, and one that causes many mothers a great ' deal of worry and trouble, is that if it gets a chance a tat will suck the breath out of sleeping .babies. The cat has a number of sins to answer for, but' this is not one of them. A cat likes a warm, clean place, on which to lie, and finds this ina child's cot, and if the cot is small, instead of nestling alongside the child„ may curl upon it. This is a serious enough nat- ter,” when the relative weights of full-grown cats and young children are considered. The cat may weigh anywhere up to twelve pounds or even more, while an average •baby one month old weighs but eight pounds, and at four months will weigh twelve and a half pounds. Even when a year old the baby' will average but twenty- two pounds. Consider [shat our feelings would be it an animal of weight equal to or greater. than our owe should curl by on. aur chest and we be unable to dis- lodge it. Undoubtedly some few in- fants have been smothered in this manner, but the cat did not intend harm and, as for seeking the child's breath; that is a physical impossibil- ity, as the shape of the cat's head would render it impossible 'for it to stop thechild's respiration at both the mouth and nose.

' "Play Sweet home' a little;,.'. "Not -to -night," answered Swanson, incl:ping his chin toward the girl' on the other side of the ]high "goat" boiler. "Bet she'd like it," indignantly de- clared Bili. . "Too mech like shoiving off," Swan- son scornfully shook his head, "Play sonhetlhing else, then," urged Bill, who never understood, "Crow like a rooster for her." • Swanson turned his head away and Bill went grumbling back to his coal, leaving his engineer to dream about the other home, sweet home, the one he had never had, a misty, wistful little gray future home, that bad been the inspiration of the "Rome, 'Sweet Horne" on his engine whistle,. A tune on an engine whistled Rail- road men from other roads had seldom believed it. They called it a 'feegle false. More than a dozen had bet good money against it; only to come and learn that .to every roan, woman and child in Penn Valley it was as common property as the miracle of the sun. Night after night, like the .song of some giant spirit stalking down the valley, the song drifted ponderously across the fields. Sometimes the high note in the third bar was a trifle flat- ted, as Swanson tried in vain with one hundred and thirty pounds to reach it, Usually his first three notes were to low that they could scarcely be recog- nized. But it was none the less "Home, Sweet Hoene." And played on this great screaming flute, it held n solemn majesty that stopped you dead in whatever you happened to -be doing and held you fast until it was done, In many parts of the valley fanners and their wives and children waited nightly for it before they went to bed. Snatches of this misty little gray home of "to -morrow" 'were still drift- ing through Swanson's head, when he suddenly came to and brought his train to a clanking stop at the small darkened Queenston station. "Here you are," he announced, hurrying to the girl. "Shake you bad?" I never felt better," she answered. She paused earnestly on the steel apron, "Later I'm going to try and tell you how grateful I am." Then she made her way quickly down to the gravelly platform, The last Swanson saw of her she was walking toward the still lighted business section of town, Iter little black bag in her hand. The last he thought of her—there was no last. The next two days Swanson blew perfect bars-af-"Home, Sweet Bome" each time he passed through Queens - ton. At the same time, his blue eyes searched the town for the womanly form and a clear girlish face with the purest eyes he had ever seen. The third day the superintendent called him into the office, - "Home," said the official, Iooking out of the window, "we've had a com- plaint from • up the line about your playing that 'home, Sweet Home,' Aren't you overdoing it?" Swanson, was plainly taken aback. "Never—never knew .that anybody didn't like it before," be. managed to utter. "Most people told me they wanted to hear it—especially around Penn City." "This was at Queenston," saidthe superintendent. Just why have you started to blow it around there so much?" I—I tell you;" stammered 'Swan- son, flushing. "You see—they're five the building Where the rod is el•"os• or six crossings there in at bunds, and •tive, I thought it would be a lot nicer to hear a tune going across instead of screeching out unmusical -like ' for every board—especially at ' night, .

Scientists thick that we shall get the requisite substitute frpm coal, "By-product coke ovens" will be used to extract from the coal a light oil available for the purposee. The coke MU then be used In our furnaces and for other ordinary fuel purposes. One ton of soft coal in the process of coking yields about three gallons of oil -first-rate for motor fuel, At present prices the heat in the oil has twenty times the commercial value of the same 91909111 of heat in the form of coal, Germany during part of the war wee practically shut off from every supply of mineral 011. She depended for her motor fuel entirely on coal, putting the latter through by-product coking plants. Before long we shall be obliged to 4o the same thing in North America. Part of the light oil In Coal is 1olotte which. In time of war is needed for the manufacture of TNT. Modern war- fare requires enormous quantities of this substance for making high-ex- plosive igh-explosive shells. During the first part of the war the Allies came near de- feat for lack of 1t. Another byproduct from the coking of one ton of soft coal is 6,000 Cubic feet of gas, available for cooking and other household uses. The coke it- self makes an admirable smokeless fuel for furnaces, if people could only be persuaded to use it. • Time for Lightning Rods. The season for electrical storms will soon be hem, So much tun has been made .of farmers and lightning rod agents that a few people have come to the conclusion that lightning rods' are .a fake. This is far from the truth, A good lightning rod is the best protection against damage from light- ning. It is a well-known fact that lightning will take the easiest path to the ground. This may be a Ihig11 tree, a church spire, a chimney, or a tele- phone wire. It is reasonable to as - same if a lightning rod is a good con- ductor of electricity and makes a good contact with the ground, that it win protect property. • A good lightning rod should be made of copper or iron, of ample cross- section, with a point projection, above the root of the building and the lower end well grounded. A good rad far this purpose, if of copper, should weigh six or eight 014108e a foot; - If iron, it should weigh about two pounds a. foot. The ldgbtning rod should be well separated from the building by porcelain oe glass Insulators. The rod should be riveted and .soldered to a large copper plate three feet by three feet, so as to make good contact. The plate should be buried in charcoal in a damp place. if an old rod is already In place,. go over it carefully to see that it is not broken, as a bhpken rod is worse than none, because, lightning will start down the. rod anti leave it and enter ,134581oms :.Ueian-Melo Gloves 9versel4 & shirts Bob Loa& Says:— "My ovornns noel shirts al, 11}0,113. nod coin ortable, And Anad aepo. chat ylmii L the Rim Lent y0,, mi 1l 1 (1(11 le Wretch hour arms mot lege occa„totrany ' • BOB LONG GLQVES will outwear any other make er Glove on the market, because • they are made by alcIlled week, men from the btroegest glove leather obtainable. /Insist on getting Bolt long Urania from your dealer— they will save you money R.
