Hints About Tinned Foods
Tfv contents of the tin should be emp
tied into a dish as sooh as the tin is
opened.
To te the ccnfenU plunge a bright
steel knife into thm as soon n they
pe placed in the dish. If copper be pres
tnt it will be deposited in the blade and
the food U potconous. The knife should
be left In for two minutes before being"
examined.
Tinned Fruits. After openlmr the tin.
pour thn liquid Into a saucepan with a
tablespoon of sugar. Bring to the boll,
put In the fruit, and allow to ffet cold
in tho syrup. This will destroy atl dan
ger of a tin flavor.
Courtesy in the House
Many parents complain of their chll
djen'a bad manners and try to account
for them by the rough school life or the
poor neighborhood In which they reside.
These, however, are but false excuses.
In homes where true courtesy prevails.
It seems to meet vou on the threshold.
No angry voices are beard upstairs No
sullen children are sent from the room
No peremptory orders are rflven servants
A delightful atmosphere pervades the
house unmistakable, et indescribable.
Such a house, tilled by the spirit of love
and truo courtesy, is a home indeed to
all who enter within its consecrated walls.
And. why? Because in that home man
ners are not an outside veneer, only put
on when company is present, but are
tho everyday garments worn always by
th dwellers is. that house.

in preserving health and looks, nnd I
would as soon think of going through tho
day without practicing a few physical cul

These movements nro for the most part
rhythmic and graceful, consisting of gen

with tho addition of music, might easily
be developed Into a real dance.

After a Scripture lesson the teacher
questioned her pupils. All went well
until she noticed Tommy doing no work.
"Well, Tommy, und could you tell me
whnt Is a hypocrite?"
Tommy was puxzled for a moment.
"Well, can't you tell me the meaning
of a small word like that?"
Tommy (after a few moments) "A hyp

Maxims Worth Remembering
Love is a grent healer. The worst char
acteristic trait of a mnn nnd of a woman
have been known to be cured by It.
It Is Cupid who introduces you to Hymen,
and ft pity It Is. How much better It
would be If It were Hymen who Intro
duced you to Cupid, nnd Invited the little
fellow to remain your guest!
Love does to women what the sun
does to flowers: It colors them, embel
lishes them, makes them look radiant
ond beautiful. But when It Is too ar
dent. It consumes and withers them.

".rust look nt that shy fellow over
I there," sho murmurs nudlbly to her best
girl-friend, "doesn't he look ridiculously
nervous? How he blushes, too! No, I'm
not going to tnlk to him he's rar too
quletl"
tf girls would only realize thnt sterling
worth Is often found In the Shy Man, nnd
lasting qualities that far exceed those of
his more vivacious brother, they mlRht
pnUHo before they make mich sweeping
condemnation.
No, the Shy Mnn Is not necessarily a
hostess Is limited to a certain nmount,
any, three or four dollars, she should try
to jjemomber not to please herself, but
to consult the tastes of her guests.
A piece of the popular French Ivory
bureau service Is usually very acceptable.
Picture frarnes also come In great vnrloty,
the prettiest are of a white enameled
composition, with dainty flowers around
the edge. They have a stand attached,
and look very stunning on the dressing
table. All girls like something to wear and
something they don't have to change for
size. Collnrs nnd cuffs wero never so
attractive from the stiff, buslncso-llke
linen ones to the sheerest mull and
chiffon.
Vestees are always useful nnd can bo
bought to ndjust to any size, Tho hostess
should nlwnys inclose tho ticket for theso
nrtlcles, should the winner decide to
get something else.
A Safe Attachment
The door of many n molden's heart
Is slightly fastened. Ill-defended;
A whispered word, n blush, n start,
Tho key has turned, tho siege Is ended,
But sho I worship will but mock
At thoughts of such sweet perturbation.
Her heart has got a patent look,
And no one knows tho combination.
Ah, If the word be "love," my dear,
Which opens all your heart's fair treas
ure, I'll strlvo for entrance without fear,
For my devotion knows no measure.
But if It opens to "money," I
Can never even dare to try It;
Your dear perfection conies too high
For me to ever hope to buy It.
Milady's Toilet Table
Woman's crowning glory Is her hair,
and Justly so If sho takes good care of It.
Oils nnd pomades arc objectionable be
cause they soil the head, but there nre
nourishing lotions containing very little
grease.
A really good quinine wash, made with
bay rum nnd Just the smnllest suggestion
of enuthnrides nnd oil j of rosomnry, will
not be nt, nit greasy. This benefits the
color nnd growth of the hair wonderfully.
When grny hairs make tholr appear
ance, the choice lies botween a dye and a
restoier. A stainless restorer, which
gradually brings back the original tint.
Is the best.
One for darkening the hair Is com
posed ot:
Iron rust 1 drachm
Old ale (strong and unsweetened) 1 pint
Oil of rosemary 12 drops
Put these Ingredients Into a bottle, cork
loosely, slinking It dally for 10 or 12 days.
Then pour off tho clear part for use.
Take rare not to let this wash como In
contact with anything that rust-stain will
Injure.
When tho hair Is very light, the qulnlno
wash should be used nightly as this does
not darken the roots.
Brush the hair downward In the natural
position nt night, and sponge with bay
rum or quinine. This Insures n cool head
during the night and a healthy scalp.
Mock Meat Pie
Chop up one larjre onion nnd two

An Untidy Petticoat
Tor a pettlcoot that has frayed round
tho bottom, cut off an Inch nil round,
bind with velvet binding to match, and
Just above put n couple of rows of nar
row ribbon velvet of the same color, nnd
It will look ns rood ns new. When mak
InK u petticoat, It Is n Kood plan to get
an extra piece that can be used for a
new frill to put round the bottom when
the petticoat Is half-worn.

Eloquence of Silent Love .
Love that Is really true Is silent
gontlo pressure of the hand and a klaj
look, full of consideration nnd meanlnr,
are fnr more eloquent than words, aaA
as a rule, far more sincere.
The eyes do not He. Judge the fa,
of b. man or woman from what they do,
from the manner In which they look tX
each other rather than what they tty,'
Lnnguaffo In love Is often used on)
to deceive, and tlie-moro beautiful ant
polished tho language tho more deeslt
ful the mnn or woman. Very often dea- ,
onstrntlvo love-making, both In spMC
and action, Is hypocritical. j
It Is not wise to listen to the ardent
lover who Is nlways saying he will dk.
for you. rtnthcr await for him to girt
you the opportunity of proving that hi
mentis It. After nil It Is much root
prcfernblo to have n lover who would
prefer to live with you forever!
Tho best tactic In lovo is to be natural
Tho unuttercd eloquence of true Iot
transports tho two who mutually under
stand ono another to n perfoct paradise.
Hair Brushes
Clean hnlr brushes nro essential to tb
health of the hair nnd scalp, and tl
worst cases of dandruff are often to b , I
iraceu to carelessness in Mils matter.
Dlroctly tho brush shows the leatt
grlmlness, wnsh It in bornx water. Do
not havo the wnter more than lukewarnt
nnd "pat" It with the brush, being care
ful only to dip In tho bristles, for wash
ing by no mearrs Improves tho polish of
tho back.
When clcnn, rlnso In clear, cold water,
nnd dry In tho air. Do not put the brush
In the sunshine or by the flro, or th
bristles will soon become yellow.
Economical Vegetable Soup'
Tut a soup pot on with 10 fcrcakfait
cupfuls of water to boll, then add n small
turnip, good-sized carrot, two or threj
onions, parsnip, small cabbage, two largs
potatoes, all cut up In very small nieces. ,
and well washed, a teacupful of wholi
rice, ono dessertspoonful of sugar, ont
of salt, and ono of dripping, nnd let the
whole boll two hours. A cud of mint

Dents in Furniture
Dents In furniture enn be got rid et
qulto easily. Damp the dent with warm
water, then make a pad of brown paper;
damp that thoroughly, Iny it on the dent
nnd hold over nil a hot Iron. The warmth
mnkes the wood swell up nnd fill the
dent. In some woods tho process Ii
slow, but it is sure.
How Did You Meet It?-
Did you meet the trouble that came your
way
With a resolute heart and cheerful!
Or hide your face from the lljrht of day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, a trouble's a ton or a trouble's aa
ounce.
Or a trouble Is what you make It,
And It Isn't the fact that you're hurl
that counts.
But only, how did you face It?
