Of sandwiches there is such va-

laziness. Why give the same old

and other tissue-builtlieg foods that
are foetid in most households at all

are the worst problem. A hot drink
is such a bracer that it pays to get
a: pint, bottle or jar that keeps
liquids at an even temperature for
24 hours. Into it can go coffee,
chocolate or hot soup for cold days

'Useful Hints.
For a daanp cupboard, which is
liable to cause mildew, place a
sauceful of quicklime info it, which
will not only absorb all dampness,
but sweeten and disinfect the
space.
To remove broken glass from Win-
dow frame cover the putty all
ttround the glass with ooft sone,
aed leave it for several hours. You
will then find that the soap has
softened the putty wonderfully, and
the broken glass Oen be removed
without further trouble.
To polish kitchen knives mix a
little bicarbonate of Hods, with the
brick dust, and rub them thorough-
ly.
Pickles served with fish give a
relish liked by many.
When boiling molasses or sugar
candy rub the dish in which it is
being boiled with butter all around
about an inch from the top and it
will not boil over.
When mending broken china al-
so place it to set in'a large boof
sawdust. By this meane it is easy
to stand the article in any desired
position, so that its own weight
holds the piece in place. When the
cement is hardening.
A very good subgtibilte for egg
and bread crumbs is a fairly thick
paste of flour and water. Dip the
fish or cutlet te be fried in this
paste and sprinkle thickly with
finely cruatbled broad. When fried,
it will Iso a beeutiful brown coler.

To remove stains frora polished

VERY farmer finds himself now and then with a few idle
hours in which both himself and his help must look for "odd
