WOMAN’S PAGE The Humble Corned Beef. An American young woman who was living in Germany for a year or two used to be extravagant in her praises of a certain sort of cold meat that was occasionally served at a late evening supper at the pension where she boarded. Finally she screwed up courage to ask the landlady what sort i a=dit of meat it was. “That,” answered the l’;"""""" ¥ Cae” Nete. {German woman, complacently.” is each — 2 for 25¢ and up. : " B thos by dha dmees tinned corned beef from Chicago. 6t loading shops.

There was a sadbar where one could ford the river byt it was three miles below the little collection of white tents where the mining engineers and their | families were endeavoring to blaze the way to prosperity. and a future town site. And because it had been a long, cold Bpring and food had been hard to get because of the difficulties in back- woods transportation, it was not an altogether unexpected issue when some of the little children developed skin trouble. It was, undoubtedly, a mild form of eczema. And the mothers who exchanged experiences as they met going to and fro to the spring for water agreed that it was a shame, but what was one to do. There they were miles from civili- zation, and it had been a lark at first, but it was weeks since they had been able to get anything from the raliroad, and the children hadn't had stewed fruit or orange juice and the camp food was disturbing, even to gTown-ups when it was unvaried. “I'm just going to give the twins bran baths, and trust in Providence, and hope that the rains will stop and we will get some fresh food supplies within the week.” said the girlish- looking mother, Who never hesitated to experiment upon the twins when she thought she was justified in the experiment. y And the business of discovering some wheat bran in the camp having proven successful, she made some cheesecloth bags, large enough to hold a @iart of bran, and sewed them up. The tub that took the place of the bathtub that had been left behind with civilization was half filled with water which, according to the pre- cious bath thermometer, was between 5 and 9. The thermometer | relic of the twins' wel | hood Twins More Comfortable. An when the bran bag had been dipped into the tub of water and squee and legs the tw their in it, arms and little were wonderfully soothed as a result They were kept in the bath for three minutes, then taken out and carefully irritated dried. The irritated skin surface wa dusted with starch powder, and th children were at least more com- fortable. Teddy Wills, the little fat boy in the camp down by the river, was the only child who developed the irrita- tion upon his face. “And I don't know what to do with him,” w his mother. “He iled ace all the time. It is mother of the twins, firmly. “Splints? 1 don’'t know ho them. "And besides, they cruel.” Getting some pasteboard tubes from the kitchen cupboard, the kind that sometimes come around glass sealers of jam, the mother of the twins proceeded to illustrate the mode of application “Simply slip his arms into these, and gafety pin them to his sleeves t keep them from sliding to his wrists, she said And though the young mothers agreed that it was a shame to im- prison Teddy's plump arms in even a ipasteboard “splint, the result was magical. For the child could not get his hands up to scratch his face. And ssible 1o vary the irritation said the to make sound so More Practical Salads. The following salads are a meal in themselves and there is no need for the housckeeper to feel apologetic in placing one of these before her hungry men-folk or her active and ravenous son, as the sole luncheon or supper dish. They all contain either meat, meat substitutes or fish and are, thercfore, substan- tially nourishing. Tomato-Sardine Salad.—Cut lettuce into shreds with a pair of scissors just before serving time. Open one can of sardines and lay these on beds of shredded lettuce on individual plates—scveral of the fish on ach plate. Now dice ripe but firm to- natoes and put a tomato border around the sardines. Cover all with chilled French dressing and serve. This is a good salad to serve when one is late in preparing supper. It can be prepared in five minutes if the tomato has been diced previously and kept in the ice box. Although sardines are expensive, they cost very little more than an egg or cheese supper dish, and they are al- ways enjoyed. Corn meal mufins will make this a well balanced supper; the fish pro- vides the protein, the tomatoes and Jettuce the vitamines, the salad oil the fats and the corn meal the starch necessary to a well balanced ration. Potato - Egg - Cheese Salad.—Boil new potatoes uhtil tender and slice them thinly, allowing these slices to lie covered with weak vinegar for an hour or two. Then place them on lettuce leaves on individual salad plates 8o that they form a thin and dainty layer, and on top of them put a layer of sliced, hard-boiled eggs (allow 1 egg for each person). Cover with ordinary boiled dressing to which has been added enough cheese to give it a strong flavor. little FREE COUPON OFFER Potomac Electric Appliance Co., 607 14th St. Gentlemen: Absolulely free to me send at once the details of your great free trial offer and easy payment plan. ] y ay or telephone us, and we v:ill give you the full details s great special offer.

HOME ECONOMICS. | Table Linen. In buying table linen, note the fin- by the is slightly cheaper than pattern and unbleached damask is cheaper and wears longer yard cioths, than bleached. Use and repe washings bleach it better than cher cals. A tablecloth should wear long as two dozen table napk! it is wiser to buy table linen from year to year than to wait and have it wear out all at once. A wife has three grades, best, good and anny hou: everyday, and she always puts newly- washed linen at the bottom of its o pile so that the wear on all ti ticles of each grade shall be even. “Union,” means half cotton and hals linen. It has some of the wearing quality of linen, but turns gray with use. ingle damask woven with a single thread; double, with two threads. Double damask of good quality is much more durable and beautiful, and the pattern stands out better. small all-over tttern will wear better than a large one with long overshot lable to be pull- ashed and ironed Average weight for good linen is four ad 2 balf ounces per square vard wide satin stripe: threads of which ed or broken wi LINEN | Weight and firmness are the qualities to_be sought, not stiffness. No cotton damask really takes the place of linen for table use. One might better economize by using small cloths it ctly fit the table and small napkins of zood linen, than use cotton, however starched or mercerized to resemble linen (Copyright. 1921.) Everyone Knows How to Rinse That is why it is so easy to “Tintex” your blouses, gowns, sweatersand lingerie. For Tintex is the original dye powder that “tints asyou rinse.” No soap to injure hable fabrics—no rub- ing to weaken tender ones. All those faded, unbecom- ing things can be made into fascinating new ones of any of the fifteen radiantspring- like colors.

It required years of research to find a purely vegetable combination that would take the place of these disagreeable, unpleasant and vicious remedies that ] from habit had become almost universal.
