When pans are scorched, use a stiff wire whisk to get the 'burned food off the bottom. If you use cleaning powder for saucepans 'be sure to wash out the pan afterward -with cold water. The good housekeeper "should go over her supplies every day. By this means she can avoid food spoiling. . Figs are nice soaked m lemon juice, stuffedwith marshmallow or nuts, and rolled in powdered sugar. Putting a coat of varnish on the linoleum yearly will nialce it Mit for years, and look bright and new. A little salt added 'when cooking sour fruits greatly reduces the quan- tity of sugar required for sweetening. It is best to give linens a long soak- ing before washing. I2 • this method is followed stains will washout eas-i ily. When boiling cabbage put a small head of celery into the saucepan. This will greatly improve the flavor. To give a delicious flavor to corn mush drop in a few chopped dates just before removing from the fire. Children love it. To wash anything that is greasy, use hot soda water.

Wring a coarse crash towel out of water and spread it smoothly on the carpet; iron it dry with a good hot iron, repeating the operation on all parts of the carpet infested with the moths.

It is appalling to see the amount of succulent juices which many cooks send swirling down the sink. The wa- ter in which vegetables are cooked should always be'saved. Onion water, for instance,gives the necessary flav- or to a tomato or vegetable soup. No matter how carefully we boil our foods, more or less of the flavor and mineral salts are lost. Cabbage and cauliflower waters make a good found- ation for, cream or vegetable soup. without u meat. Only potato water and the first water in which old beans are cooked are not desirable. The last' water in which beans are boiled, be- fore they are baked, may be seasoned with tomato and served as a. bean bouillon.

Future Royal Weddings Must Leave Them Out of .Account. During these months of continuous and prolonged action the high quali- ties ualities and the mettle of our troops un- der the difficulties and arduous con- ditions of retreat have been demon- strated afresh. Notwithstanding his obstinacy in fighting and his persist- ency in carrying out manoeuvres, the enemy is still confronted by an army which fully retains its strength and morale, and its ability not only to of- fer staunch and successful resistance, but to assume the offensive and in- flict blows, which has been demon- strated by the events of recent days.

Experts in wood technology have per- fected instruments that measure the amount of moisture in wood, and thus have given to lumbermen information of the utmost value to them, since it has saved them many thousands of dollars in freight charges. According to a writer in the Master Builder, a thousand pounds of green lumber fresh from the saw and cut from green logs contains from four to five hundred pounds of water.
