DISHWASHING MADE EASY-
Didpou. ever stop to think of the'
Y
'time the average housewife has to
ped in washing dishes, three times
is day, twenty-one times a week, over
a thousand times. a year? A farm
housewife with milk things to care
ior, often averages two hours' a day
n washing dishes if she should at-
tempt to do a year's dishesat one
time it would take her over sixty days,
:even though she worked twelve hours
tach day without stopping to rest.
Howcan` these hours .of constantly
repeated work be. shortened?
A timely suggestion has usually
been to get the equipment: which
*hakes the work the easiest;
A wheel tray, saves perhaps the most
ptcps. First, it can be used in
he table. -After the meal, all of the
dishes may be stacked on it and be
carried to the kitchen h one trip
trietead of the usual five or six, Many
]types of inexpensive trays may be
urchased, or very satisfactory ones
ban bo made -by the home carpenter.
If an old-fashioned washstand,
with handles at each end, and a shelf
underneath is among the .family pus -
Sessions, it can easily be fitted with
small wheels' or castors. The small
drawer makes a splendid- place for
611verware. Where a wheeled tray is
not available a fair-sized hand -tray
can be used tovery good advantage.
On fine china, dr where children are
scraping; the dishes, a rubber dish
scraper is invaluable. ; Every bit of.
food may be removed from the plate
with the fewest possible motions. For
cleaning the cream pan it has no
equal. Some women like best the plan
df rinsing_ off the food particles under
running water in the sink. Where
this is done a fine sink strainer should
be, used to prevent the food particles
from getting into the drain.
A small garbage pail or a pan with
a good cover is most conv'anient tor
tho waste, food.
Plenty of water, both hot, and cold,
is another necessity that helps greatly
in making dishwashing easy. If this
can be rsnning`watei• at the' sink it is
most convenient. IS not, three or four
trips to the stove must be made for
hot water during the dish washing.
The sink when pp e,1ui ed with -drain
boards, makes the most practical place
for washing dishes. A place for stack-
ing dishes on one side, and for drain-
ing them. on 'the other, increases the
Valve of the sink, so many are equip-
ped with two drain hgards,"If there is
room for only one, the left-hand board
is used most by the majority of wo-
iron, ';If the dishes are stacked on a
table, or better,bit the right-hand
drain board, they may be gashed and
placed at the left without awkward
reaching across or changing hands:
LOWERING SUGAR CONSUMP-
TION.
During canning time and fruit time
my slogan is, "Take it with a Pinch
of Salt," but literally, not figuratively;
the salt saves sugar.
When cooking fruit for canning or
. to serve as sauce at meals for the day,
I add a: pinch of salt, not enough to
give a salty taste, however, and I
always dost a little salt over the fruit
in a pie before adding sugar, and over
the fresh fruit I intend to serve at any,
meal, Until one has tried, it it is hard
to believe the difference it makes in
the amount bf sugar required.
In canning rhubarb or pieplant,-I
wash stems well tut up without par-
ing. pack into cans then turn cold,
water slowly into cans letting it over-
flow until no bubbles come to the sur-
face, then seal. The neighbors used
same process and we certainly enjoy.

dream engrossed her so entirely that
she did not hear the door open and
close.
Chu Sing. stood silently watching
his prisoner. Itis„faro' was drawn; and
haggard, and his'. eyes bespoke a sleep-
less night. A sudden change swept
over him; however, as his gaze dwelt
on the .girl before him: It: was like .a
ray of :light darting across a black
"Tu Ilee!” he.. cried, starting to-
wards her, hands outstretched.
Tu Free swung around, a frightened
cry on her lips. For a minute she felt
physical pain. It was ''as:if Hope had
cut a jagged path through her heart
as he fled. She shrank, back out of
reach of the outstretched hands.
Chu Sing dropped his arms and
stood looking at her, while a bitter
smile banished the gleam that 'had
brightened his dark face. >'
Tu- Hee, buoyed'up by her belief de-
veloped. from a wish, had been taken
entirely off guard. Herfacelooked
pitifully white'and young under its
make-up, and,Her blue eyes might
have, been peeking into"the very depths
of hell, so great Was the horror_mir-
rored there.
Perhaps it was a flash of pity that
caused the- man' to turn his back and
cross to the other side of the room.
After a few minutes of silence, in
which he had stddiously avoided a
glance at the girl, he said casually: "I
evidently startled' you, Tu 'Hee. When
you are used to niy presence I Want to
talk toyou."'As he spoke Chu Sing
wheeled about and faced her. "I am
sorry if L frightened you. My love
sometimes blinds inc to the fact. that
you have none for me.' Ashe spoke
he crossed to within a few steps of
where she stood, enveloped in her old-
time poise and her eye's ,gleaming like
blue pools of ice.

All at -�pct the mart's tactics Chang-
ed.
g
ed, He came a step nearer, and Itis
voice was almost pleading: "Tu Hee,
don't you 'see Irani mad over you? I
didn't want to do this thing, but I
was mad the, night I brought you here
—mad when I saw the,; foreign devil
standing in the road accepting your
seniles as his right. Something snap-
ped in my brain as I watched you, and
when the gates closed I bribed the run-
ners to bring you here. It wasn't a
premeditated thing. It was forced on
me by my- love for you,"
"Love!—you don't know what love
is, Chu' Sing. You don't even know
what friendship is or you couldn't
have betrayed my uncle as you have."
A lightning change swept over the
man's face. It was like the .lash of
grief. His eyes avoided Tu Hee's
clear gaze and his hand went to Ms
forehead, '
Seizing her vantage point, Tu Hee
continued: "F believe, Chu Sing, there
is a human spot in your soul. Tell mo
I am not mistaken. Take me back to
my. uncle. He will. be so overjoyed I
shall persuade' him to even: forgive
you, and these black days and nights
will be buried out of sight in lasting
forgetfulnes's."
The man's hand dropped to his side.
Tu Ilee started at the wild misery in
the look he bent on her. Shaking his
head, he said: "It is no use, Tu Hee,
I've sworn for years you would be
mine, but now that you are here
within my power, the gods have made
me powerless,"'
Tu Hee sprang forward, Grasping
his hands slid exclaimed: "You mean
you will take me home? 0, Chu Sing,
may the gods bless you for this! Let
us lose no time then. Take me quickly
to Uncle Weng. Toy!"
It was almost a paternal look that
Chu, Sing beat on the eager, pleading
face before him. ' His harsh, domineer-
ing mariner had'fallen from him,: and
there was a ^melancholy note in his
Voice as he replied: "Tu Hee,-1, can-
not do• what you ask,"
"You cannot?" questioned Tu Hee,
bewilderment in het voice. -"You say
you : cannot take me to 1my - Uncle
Wang?"
Chu Sing shook his head, "No.
Weng Toy, my friend, the best I had,
is with the gods.".
Tu Ilse looked at him uncompre-
hending the tragic meaning of his
words.' Then, as the awful truth sat-
urated her mind, scream after scream,
Meati -breaking and terrible, echoed
through the room.
Chu Sing tang a bell that stood on
a nearby table. ."Fetch me a sleep-
ing potion," he ordered, as Su opened
the door.
But many minutes elapsed before.
the gpieting drug took effect on Tu
IIee, This last blow was too much for
the brain, already shbclted from its
normal balance, and as Chu Sing lis-
tened to
is-tened'to the maniacal ravings and
looked into the wild -blue eyes, he
bowedhis head in bitter repentance.
Ills.evil doings had indeed turned on
his own heart and were rending it in
shreds.
don't interrupt mo, I believe you are
sincere In saying you are sorry for
giving in to your headlong impulse
to bring me here five weeks ago; but,„»
frankly, Chu Sing, no words could
make me believe you, What has
proved to meyour realrepentance is
your treatment of me since I've' been
your prisoner,", ,
"Prisoner? You are not my.prison-
er, Tu Hee.: I gave you your freedom
a month ago. I have considered you
and treated you as an honored guest
since the night delirium seized you."
"Yes, what you say 10 true,';. Chu
Sing.” Tu Hee's voice was :a little
weary."You gave me' my freedom,
but., I no longer cared for it. Where
was I to go? When my „mind grew
sane' again Uncle Wang had been bur -
fed, and Icould -.not .bear the thought
of going back where we had been sod
happy together, But now I feel di-
ferentiy about it. Perhaps because
I am stronger. I want 'to go to my
home, Chu Sing, justas soon as, you
can take me there."
A shadow crossed the man's face.
"-It shall be as you say, Tu Hee. We
can start to-day—at once—if you say
so." -
"Wait. Please sit down again. You
brought me to your house here,` Chu
Sing, 'which, as you know, is one of
the rites of marriage.
Chu Sing avoided the girl's eyes.
"No-one need' ever know, Tu Hee."
"But the rite has been fulfilled, I
am according, -to my country's law
one-sixth your wife. If you still wish
me for your wife I am willing that
the other rites shall be performed."
With a cry Chu Sing sprang -to his
feet. His dark face was,transflgured.
".You mean that, Tu Hee?: You
mean you care that much for me?"
The blue eyes met his, sadly. Tu
Hee shook her head. "No, Chu Sing,
don't mistake my meaning. My heart
died with Uncle Weng. I warn you
I may be a sad, melancholy partner
for you. You had better not be hasty.
Consider well There are many happy
young Chinese maidens who would
be only too glad to be the wife of: the
prominent official, Chu' Sing."
"I -care -for only one maiden. I
shall live only. to reawaken your
heart my little Tu Hee. I have loved
you from the time I -held you on my
knee and played with you."
The man was bending low before
Tu fIee's chair.
Tu.Hee.triedto overcome.tha repug-
nance
e u -
nance'that filled her as his breath
touched her hand. Why did a pair of
penetrating' grey eyes intrude at that
moment and a soft, well modulated
voice sound in her ear: "Do you mind
my telling you that it is only when I
am with you I stn happy?"
But Chu Sing sensed nothing amiss.
He drewhis all form to its full
height, Ilis shoulders swung back like
those of a -man who has received groat
draughts of new, energizing life. His
harsh features looked almost hand-
some in the glow that suffused them.
Tu Hao's misery partly evaporated
in the surprise of it all. Wonder eeiz„
ed her that she should be the' cause of
such a .transformation. Surely she
was making no mistake in giving hap-
piness to her uncle's life-long friend;
for, in spite of differences, Tu Ilee
knew an indissoluble tie had botind
the two men. If the image of a'rnanly
young foam in the khaki uniformof a
British soldier obtruded itself, she
shut it away with the curtain oil Ori-

'The Necessity of Conservation.
-Each year the United Stetee is com-

on its importations to supply,tte nesse
print needs and the Canadian, industry
has tp be extended to meet, these de-
matnde, With all the extensions to
the industry, under construction or
projected, at the present' time, operate
Mg in 1924, that year should show a
produotion of substantially' over ' a
million and. a quarter tons. The time
when Canada will surpass•,the United
States ea a producer of *newsprint is,
in faet, within sight, and the Dominion
supreme, ,iu this regard, on the con-
tinent.
Canada is the continent's last source
of any large supply of raw'toreet Pro-
ducts, and the position she commies
to -day in the production of newsprint
and other' paper 'products, and the
higher one she is: due to fill, are de-
pendent entirely on • the permanency
of the supply. In this connection it is
gratifying to note that the, Dominionis
deriving profit from the lessons other
countries have taught, and each year
taking moa'e, rigorous precautions to

.. Flowers may remade the .same, but

for example. Had you lived 1n the

pick a sunflower, you would have gone
straight to what we now call the marl-
gold 'Marigolds are the real sun-
flowers. The, sunflower of to -day, tow-
ering to, a great height, was called--
and
alled-and quite correctly—the "sotlsoece,"
meaning,the sun -flower,
Then there is tlte,daisy. In its case
the years have spoilt the original bet-
ter and much mere- beautiful mune.
Chaucer collect the daisy 'the "Day's
eye," ansi not much observation is re
qudred to note how fitting that name
was.. '
A final instance may Se given. The
old names of flowers were trete than
mere nares. They wareselected. to
teach natural history or to draw atten-
tion to some characteristic shape or
form. The "dandelion" by that toame.
teaches.. nothing. But if it; .were still
called .the "dent-de-lion"—lion's tooth
—we should be more tnteresttscl In it.
