O<'pi a'sootha-salva'e today. 1 drpgRiatt. • ' r R .0 w i 1/4 HOUSEHOLD DISCOVERIES A small piece of glass (taken from an old picture frame, or a small pane of window glass), -with passepartout neatly pasted around the edges, is very useful to place over your open cook book. The recipe can .be seen without any drips or smearing—:and at the same time the book remains open just where you want it. A loop of strong ribbon the same color as the binding may be stuck on the cor- ner of the glass, with which to hang it up. * * * A tablespoonful of flour will take the place of an egg in the filling for your pumpkin pie, besides it will re- quire less care in baking. * * * Add a little sugar to turnips along 'with the butter and seasoning. That hint of bitterness, which is so Often found in turnips, will be completely disguised. * * * If you soak all your old news- papers and wrapping paper for half an hour or more in your warm wash - suds, you can then mould it into balls about the size of an apple—pressing out all the water. When these balls dry they make a fuel that will give off a good heat and hold fire for some time. * * * • A small colored sugar bowl with handles --bought in the ten cent store, will make an ideal holder for creep- ing plants, hanging in the window of the kitchen or dining room. * * * It is annoying to an invaled to hear .coal being shot into a Quebec heater. To avoid this noise, where there is sickness or a baby in the house, an excellent plan is to spread a couple of sheets of newspaper on the cellar floor and pile a supply of coal in the centre; then take up the corners of the paper to form a bog, and silently deposit the bag—just as it is—in the top of the heater. * * * When you have a quantity of toast to make over the coal fire in the morn- ing, you will find that you will save time by removing the wire shelf from the oven and placing it over the fire —after removing the stove lids. Half a dozen pieces of toast can be made at one time. * * * When linen is to be stored away for a length of time, care should be tak- en that it is put away properly. It should not be starched as the starch rots the linen. If possible, wrap the white linen in blue or black paper to prevent discoloration. Do not line linen closet, shelves with newspapers, as the printer's ink sometimes rub,: off on to the linen. * * * I have found a very good way to keep the children nice and warm when playing out of doors in windy and colo weather. I line their coats with rubber—back and front. I use pieces of old rubber aprons or raincoats— or even old rubber sheeting—cutting it to fit the pattern of the coat, and sewing between the lining and the cbat material. The children's backs and chests are thus protected from the wind on the coldest days—at no cost at all. * * * Instead of using a mat to kneel on when I am scrubing or waxing the floors, I use two rubber sponges, which I fasten about my knees with an electric garter. * * * I dissolve a teaspoonful of am- monia powder in warm water in a basin, and drop in the hair combs for a few minutes. The combs will come out clean and fresh. I do this on each day on which the bedroom is cleaned. * * * When my oilcloth rugs are shabby I put them on the basement floor; they make the floor easier to sweep. * * * rWiihen my •housedresses wear out under the. arms, I make aprons out of the backs of the dresses. * * * I twist elastic bands around the "blue bag" instead of using string. It is easier to slip the elastic off when a new cake of blue is required. * k * To prevent reddening of the iron bars of grates, slice a lemon and rub along bars or parts that have become red. Allow it to dry, then coat with black lead in the usual way. The bars will not turn red. THE ONCE OVER Jack Dempsey is in Reno for a divorce. This proves he was sincera when he said he was through with the fight game. * * * Elmer Twitchell says: "Business has turned the corner, but it's found it to be one of those streets marked 'Quiet Zone.' " * * * Another designer announces an aeroplane designed for the masses. There will be no public stampede to buy airships, however, until somebody invents a plane that will stand still in midair while the owner signals for a towing car. ley, The sap is gaily da crag in the pan; Around the nllppl& ees the tappers rally To get' the maple syrup while they can. The perfume of the sap we'll soon 14): smelln'g— The squirrels' chatter with the blue jays 'blue, And I get princely wages just for tell- ing These very simple springtime facts to you! r * * Add similes: As rare as a wild African lion that has never appear- ed in a moving picture. • * * Service. "Do you need experienced ordained minister for sickness, funerals, wed- dings, addresses, problems, trouble ? Tell B-- Confidential interviews and advice any hour of the day and night; irrespective race, creed; highest ref- erences."—New York Herald Tribune. Could you' tell a client what to do about moths in a hair sofa? e * * * Al Capone Sets Things Right. Al Capone has been freed of that vagrancy charge in Chicago. Told that the charge was vagrancy, it is under- stood he ;repli& 1, :"You've, got me wrong. I wasn't even in town when it happened." * * * A ginger ale company has cut its price from twenty cents to sixteen cents a bottle. In a night club this would bring it down to about fifty cents a cup. * * * The Prince of Wales made a hole in one the other day. This ought to silence the critics who have been all these years intimating that he never would do anything real big. CURRENT WIT AND WISDOM People can become M.P.'s too eas- ily.—Mr. Clynes.

It is about a stand-off now between the kids and the parents as to who will get home before the milk man ar- rivs.—Osborne Enterprise. * * * One of the things that puts fear into the heart of a Chicago youth these days is that if he goes in for crime in a big way he will be arrest- ed and tried on a charge of vagrancy. * * * The Soviet government has bought five million phonograph records, non of which has any jazz selectio s.
