Batters of all kinds require one scant quart of milk to one quart of flour. A thorough whitewashing should be given every cellar at least once a year. Sandwiches should always be made as short a time as possible before be- ing used. In using a high stepladder on a !polish floor, put sand paper under the ladder's feet. Eggs are more easily digested when the whites and yolkes are thoroughly mixed before cooking. Left over chicken is delicious chop - i ped fine, creamed and enriched with two hard boiled eggs, chopped not too fine. A spoonful means that the flour, etc„ should lie as much above the edge of the spoon as the bowl lies be- low it. On ironing day when the top of the stove must not be spabtered much of the peeking of the midday meal may ibe done in the oven. Whet kitchen towels wear thin lay two of the same size one upon the I other, machine the edges together, and I stibch diagonally across. I One ounce of Epsom salts added to a gallon of water makes an excellent rinsing mixture for colored blouses and washing dresses. Colored handkerchiefs should be soaked in cold salt water for a short time before they are washed. This will prevent the colors from running or fading. Vegetable and fruit stains on the fingers can be removed by dipping the fingers in very strong tea for a few minutes and then washing them in clear, worm water. When inlc is spilt on the carpet rob a cut lemon over the stain immediate- ly, and it will entirely disappear and not injure the carpet, not matter how.. light the color.

The great saying of Dan 7. 13 which originated the Lord's own chosen name "Son of man " claims Do Not Tamper With Carburetor, When it conies to tampering with the carburettor on a car, the best ad- vice is `Won't," So says an experi- enced automobile man. "Many motorists want to change the adjustment of the carburetor with every decided change of weather." lie continues, "They seem to think the carburetor ought bo be adjusted one wee when the day is dry, another when it is wet, still another when it is hot, and again when it is cold. "Sometimes the owner himself tries to make the adjustment, and at oth- er times he turns the job over to a garage man. What he should do in- stead is either to consult the dealer for the car, or else the local repre- sentative of the carburetor company, if there is one in his town. "Now, it is true that the mixture should be rich or lean, according bo the kind of weather. But adjustment of the carburetor .is the wrong way to secure the proper mixture. This is rightly and easily done by the attach- ment for the purpose located on the dash. Make the mixture rich when the motor is cold. When it warms up , gradually make the mixture leaner, - but keep an eye on it till your engine is hitting evenly. , "What happens when the carbure- d by him at his trial (Mark 14. 62), DIED ON FIELD and repeated by angels after his as cension has been tampered with to secure a rich mixture is that gasoline is washed and the condition in general invites the formation of carbon de- posits, That means loss of power, and incidentally it militates against economy, aside from the likelihood of getting the carburetor mechanism out of adjustment. So my advice is to leave the carburetor alone. "Troubles are likely to occur from a continual improper mixture of gas and air due to a wrong adjustment of the carburetor. If the owner for- gets the existence of his carburetor and lets it alone to perform its func- tions he is likely to secure the most satisfactory results from his car. He will get better performance, greater economy and longer service without the necessity of giving attention of the mechanism. "After some automobile owners) have had their cars three or four months, and have pretty well master- ed the art of driving, they begin to get a desire to tinker with the mechan- ism. The carburetor generally tempts' them first, because it seems so acces- sible.

Each of these crosses bore the name of a young Irish officer, and in but one instance alone was the recorded age more than twenty-five years. These young men came from the North of Ireland and from the South with the famous Irish regiments, the Connaught Rangers, the Dublin Fusil- hers, the Inniskillings, or the Royal Irish. They professed different creeds. They held different views on politics and public affairs, but they were knitted and welded into one by a common cause. They -fought side e by side for their country; they died 1 side by side, and in this little French e cemetery, with the great cross, they e lie side by side in their last long 1 sleep. , IAnd so to -day do Irishmen rest by all the fields in the long -stretched battle -lines of Europe. Would that all those who still may harbor bitterness and rancor against any of their own countrymen in Ireland might stand for even one moment and read the cross inscriptions in the cemeteries of France! These inscriptions would. tell of the glorious and eternal union 1 of brave Protestant and Catholic and t INorthern and Southern Irish hearts. r "TANKS" WERE A RIG SURPRISE ESPECIALLY TO THE GERMAN SOLDIERS, 13ut They Were Welcomed tee a Splen- did Ally by British "'Pommies," Soldiers who have seen the "tanks" in action agree that they are simply great. Interviews with English and Canadian Tommies have recently been obtained, and some of the stories told are here repeated: Like Convoy of Camels. "It was quite dramatic how we got our first peep at the tanks, We were behind a wood looking forward with eagerness to the prospect of knock- ing the stuffing out of Fritz ones more, when suddenly along a ridge we saw slowly moving what seemed in the distance and in the dim light a convoy of camels heavily burdened and moving with ponderous measured gait of 'the desert steeds.' "It was some time before the sup- posed convoy of camels was revealed as a fleet of steam rollers -at least. that is the impression they first made, upon us. More important still, from our point of view, was the fact that despite their weight and massive pro- portions they seemed to move quite easily. To Shorten War Five Years. "I turned to a pal of mine, and said, 'Some steam -rollers these.' He winked and replied, 'Don't be silly; they're not steam -rollers, they are grasshoppers -trench grasshoppers, hop anywhere, always hopping where Fritz doesn't want to meet them; hopping in his trenches, hopping out of them. Steam -rollers indeed! some grasshoppers, friend!' "The chap next to him gave him a nudge and said, `You're both wrong, they're caterpillars -the new cater- pillars that the army has invented to shorten the war by five years.' He is a bit of a wag, that chap, and we told him to shut up, Escaped Big Shells. "Well, the battle opened, and we saw the tanks move up to the battle Inc and take their places in advance. They negotiated shell holes with the utmost ease, and moved along the scarred, broken ground with steady, rhythmic motion. Shells were falling all around them, but they seemed to bear a charmed life, and went on as though the battlefield were a par- ade ground instead of an inferno of fire and flame and hurling steel. "The rifle and machine gun bu]- ets rattled against the sides of the auks, and seemed harmlessly to glance off, • • I From a greater distance comes the dull roar of guns, and overhead an aeroplane circles like some giant bird. !Tho group of officers by the graveside includes two chaplains, ono of the Church of England, and one a Catho- lic priest. They have come to bury two young officers, both Irish, but of a different faith. Presently a lit- tle procession arrives -a motor wag- on, looking strangely incongurous in 'the cemetery, an, behind it marches a ].little company of the men belonging to the regiment of the dead officers. They stand around the opened earth like statues, their faces set in an ex- pression of pain. Some of their eyes are filled with tears, for they knew well and loved their leaders -young, indeed, they were -merely boys. As in Life.

The remains are swathed in the or- dinary brown army blankets, and so are lowered into the grave side by side, shoulder to shoulder, just as in life the boys had lain in their rude shelter in the trenches for many a day and many a night. The chaplains read their respective burial services,1 "Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,"I The soil of France is shoveled into the graves, and soon the little group I of mourners melts away.

The great majority of these dwelling house fires r occur at night, when the lives of the, occupants are endangered. From the 676 homes the greater portion of the families were turned out at night, in wintry weather. In ' these fires 141 lives were lost.

Carelessness with matches caused 69 fires last year; overheated stoves and furnaces, 61; defective and over- heated chimneys, pipes, etc., 62; elec- trical defeces, 66.
