WOMAN’S PAGE. Preparing for Vacations Advice as to Various Matters That Should Re- ceive Attention Preliminary to Departure of Family From the Home. i* your house is to be closed for some time, when your family goes away for the Summer vacation. certain necessary - precautions should be taken. To, begip with, ) wce all silverware and -other valu Ics in a safe deposit box at your burk. Put away all ornaments, re- e all cushion and table covers, <hir covers, heavy curtains and hang- s, brush or clean them, and put m safely away.

A powder which will keep moths sway from clothes can be prepared in i1's ‘way: Secure two ounces of cloves '1 the same amount of cinnamon, black pepper and orris root. wder these ingredients as fine as 1 asible, then mix them well-together. € mixture may be scattered at the ttom of drawers,.or put into small slin bags and then placed here The odor 1s quite a pleas. | it one, but it is much disliked by | 1 bihs which attack clothes. If moths I.ve already attacked draperles and clothes, it {s advisable to plunge the | tertal into bolling water, which will | ntly kill grubs and oggs, or it | 1y be held In the steam of a boiling leitle. A hot iron applied on the ng side will alsc be effective. A g od way to treat moths in carpets is \ wring a coarse linen towel in clean ster and spread it on-the carpet. It Tuld then be 4roned until dry and < operation repeated. It is not nec eccary to press hard, and the treat- rent will not injure the pile.or color | of .he carpet. Week End Baggage. te ~ S is generally advisable to take only | gage that is absolutely necessary week end trip. The. packing of | ra hats for such occasions is diffi- t because it is not always conven- nt to carry a regular hat box. An crira hat can be taken in a suit case it is elightly adapted. ‘An oblong | < can be made of cardboard and | red with material to match the in- :1de of the suit case. A wire hat hold- +: should be attached to the box so ihat the hat can be pinned to it and so be kept firmly in place. The space at tie end of the case can then be util- izad for light articles without damage to the hat, and very gauzy articles may be placed in with the hat. If the lining of a suit case will permit it, 2ts of two strong tapes can be sewed » the inner sides of the suit case. hen a plece of thin board or strong er rdboard can be slipped between these 10 make a division when required. lese divisions can be made in a suit «+ <o when the hat box it not used, and tl prevent a jumble of articles, af- Tording separate compartments for dif- ent things. Vacation First - Aids. % is wise to take away with you a © all bottle of simple tincture of L nzoin to add to the wash water it it is hard. A few drops added to the v ater will soften it and will help to % p vour skin, soft and smooth while Tou are aw An ounce of boric acid will also take v, scarcely any room, and you will d it invaluable. A pinch added to 1 lif a gldss of warm water will make very soothing lotion for your eyes, f applied when dressing for your ening meal, it will remove all traces « eye strain caused by the glare of 12 sun on the ocean and make them | t and sparklng. It is possible | sh away with a little milk any .cks of dust in the eve. Keep on #hing the eye with a cloth soaked | milk, and this will nearly always move the foreign substance, besides ving a soothing effect on the eyes. wu can remove a cinder or other for- n substance from the eye by plac : in the eye two or three grains of :seed. Let them roll all around on 1t b them and work out from the eye. All Inflammation will disappear. * Bee stings are often very trouble- some. They should be extracted with- out breaking them. If a pair of tweezers cannot be obtained, a small key pressed over the place will usu- jally force the sting up so that it can be picked out. After the sting has occurred, a little moistened = baking powder is excellent to apply to the affected pact, whether the injury has been caused by a bee, a wasp or a hornet. If soda cannot be secured, a wet rag will usually give relief. For mosquito and gnat bites, usuglly a bandage soaked in a strong solution of soda and water will be effective. Always sponge your face over with fresh water after leaving the ocean, as salt water when allowed to dry on the skin has a very coarsening effect upon it, making it harsh and dry and causing a red tan which is 8o unbe- coming. A little rose water can be carried down to the bathhouse with the other toilet necessities and can be applied to the face with a small sponge. Always wear a waterproof bathing cap when in the ocean. Salt water will make the hair harsh and bristle and spiol the color, especially if it Is fair or auburn. If you take a sun bath after your swim, see that your head is protected from the heat, otherwise a bad headache may be the result. While at the beach it is best to avold the use of white or pink com- plexion powder during the daytime. Ochre shade looks more natural and is more becoming, and forms a great- er protection from sunburn and freckles. In the evening the ochre powder can be removed, the face cleaned with a little cream, and white or pink powder used in'its place. Stains on Shoes. Salt water stains on shoes should be treated in the following way: Into an’ eggcupful of hot milk dissolve a small lump of washing soda, and then rub the solution well into the leather. If the stsins an brown shoes have turned black, rub the stains with equal parts of household ammonia and milk. This treatment rarely fails to restore the leather entirely. Shoes which have been wet all over with sea water generally become very hard. When this happens, rub in olive ol with a soft rag. Do not-use a great deal of the oll, but take care that it is well worked into the leather. It is possible to arrange a little bathing tent for the beach with the ald of a large sheet and a long pole. Mark a circle about 5 feet in diam- eter on the ground and then dig out the sand inside this circle, throwing the sand up all around to form a wall. Leave an opening at one part to serve as a doorway. When the sand has been dug to the depth of about 3 feet, and the wall is nearly as high, a fair height will have been secured for the tent. Now put the pole in the center of the floor and thrust it down into the sand. Throw the sheet right over the pole, carrying the borders along the top of the wall. Cover the edge of the sheet with a little sand to keep it in place. The free ends of the sheet can be pinned together when it is desired to close the tent. Houseboats or Shacks. Housboats look best when painted in light colors. White is effective and so also is a very pale shade of blue-green with an awning of the same color. Somber colors, such as chocolate or dark green, do not cast good reflections on the water, and the whole effect is dull. For a decoration a string of small flags of various sizes placed up and down the length of the flagpole always looks well. An- other good decoration is secured by means of growing flowers in boxes. These placed in a long, continuous line right around the edge of the upper deck -make a very charming orna- mentation.. Hanging baskets of flow- ers will also add to the effect.” Pelar- gonlums and marguerites will pro- vide a continuous and gay wreath of color for many weeks. Cushions, curtains and awnings should all re- ceive careful consideration when planning for decoration and useful- ness. Chinese lanterns and emblems are festive decorations. Dragons may be cut out of three-ply wood and paint- ed scarlet, or such emblems may be cut out of fabric material and at- tached to the pole in the same way as a flag. Other decorations for a houseboat are strings of balloons which dance in the breéze and pro- vide sparkling touches of color. The general aim should be to se- cure lightness and brightness on a houseboat. A charming approach trom the river to & bungalow can be secured by means of steps cut out in grass, pergolas and small rock gardens.

WITH BURBANK I As Reported by Elizabeth Urquhart and Edited by Luther Burbank. Conservation of Moisture. “Our subject is very timely, Mr. Birbank, aiter the recent drought, which scorched gardens and orchards.” “The subject is always timely, and of importance everywhere, from the dry Interior regions of the Pacific colist to the Atlantic, where sometimes the heavens withhold the raine and ! sardens suffer. “Irrigation has become almost a fine art on the Western coast, and has developed greatly since the early Mis- slon period, when land was irrigated | without tillage, and the wealth in the soll_was undeveloped. “Tillage and irrigation must always | go together, for, while tillage supple- ments and quite often replaces irrl- gation, vet irrigation without tillage is of limited benefit. “When water i run over the sur- face of the garden without. cultiva- tien it does not penetrate as deeply as rain, and, moreover, the ground dries, hardens and cracks, letting the molsture within escape rapidly. The thirsty roots are drawn up to the sur- face in an attempt to reach the water and soon form a matted mass near the surface, and if not then irrigated almost daily will be déstroved. “But when the ground.ls cultivated after watering or irrigation less water is necessary, for all the underground molsture is* retained by - the dry blanket of loose earth formed on the surface through cultivation.” ardens lle at the mercy of wind and weather,” I remarked, “and eter- nal vigilance is necessary’ “Yes. & dry wind blowing over a plowed fleld, #f the soil is not in the right condition, will rob it of tons of water in half a day, and it takes 180 tons of water to make one ton of I 2 “But if harrowed and leveled the loose surface from an earth mulch, through which the hot air above cap- not_force its way, and the molat‘ within cannot pass quickly through 1t to the surface.” “How {s the moisture drawn up to the surface so readfly?” Y asked. “Mostly by capillary action; just as ofl comes up through & ‘lamp Wick to the flame at the upper edge, so does molsture rise_through the pores of the ground, some of it to be used by the Toots of the plants, some of it to pass through the cracks of the hard sofl, to be carried by the sun and wind, unless the waste is stopped by the dry blanket of loose earth at the surface. “Where the source of the water supply is uncertain, tillage is all the more necessary, and on the home grounds no_ waters should be ellowed to go to waste.” “Even in lands of Summer rains drought will come and cisterns will go dry. What is the unhappy gar- dener to do?” I asked. “If the garden be in the country and water is not piped all over the grounds, thé household water from laundry tubs, baths and washstands should be carefully saved, for the presence of soap in such water is of benefit to .nearly sll garden plants, if the water be poured on the ground and not on the follage. 4 “In many Summer homes or farms arrangements may be made to con- duct such waste water by exit pipes or even wooden troughs to certain beds or plants in the garden.” (Copyright, 1925.) Stuffed Mushrooms. In one-half a cupful ‘of white stock soak one-fourth cupful of stale bread crumbs, add three-fourths cupful of finely chopped cooked veal or chicken, { one tablespoonful of butter, one-half a teaspoonful of salt, one-half a tea- spoonful of onion juice and one-fourth teaspoonful of peppef. Cut the stalks from 20 large mushrooms, peél the caps, and arrange them cup side up in a baking pan.” Put a Httle of the mixture in each cup and sprinkle over a thin layer of buttered crumbs. Bake for 10 minutes in & hot oven. o B K Cabbage Soup. Remove the outer leaves of a me- diuym.sized Summer cabbage and cut the head into strips. Cover with two quarts of boiling water and boil for halft an hour. In a saucepan put one tablespoonful of buttay and two table- spoonfuls of flour and stir over the firé until well mixed. Add gradually oné pint and a half of scalded milk and one quart of the water in which [’ the cabbage was bolled. Season to taste with salt and pepper, simme for 10 minutes, add one cupful of the cooked cabbage. chopped fine, simmer for- 10 minutes, and serve with crou tons. 7 The Ill-Natured Coo! So Dick became scullery boy in the Fitzwarren kitchen. The cook was a horrid, {lltempered woman who did not know what-it was to be kind to any- body. She frequently beat the poor boy with a broom or anything else that was handy, and she scolded him all day long. She made him do all the hardest and dirtiest work, and worked him continuously from early morning till late at night. But little Dick did the best he knew how, and he never complained. For once in his life he had plenty to eat, and as he had never been used to kind treatment he did not miss it as much as other little boys would. Here is the ugly, cross, old cook. Color her hair black. Her skirt should be gray and her blouse blue. (Copyright. 1925.) HOME - NOTES BY JENNY WREN. How to house the homemade radio set? That is the question in many homes wehere radio fans toil nightly with static. For a collection of bat- rogm tabje s not svothing to the nerves of the lAdy of the house. Here i3 one cleverly concealed in a sectional bookcase. The batteries are in the lower s n, where they are easily accessible, and the wires pass through holes bored in the back to the set itself in the upper section. This arrangement is very neat and incon- spicuous, and if one has an old sec- tional bookcase stored in the attic or can buy one second hand at a low price, this may be an economical idea as well. (Copyright. 1025.) About Foods. Huck)eberries contain lime for bone building, phosphorus for body ‘regu- lating and even a trace of iron for blood building, and they are decidedly basic or the opposit of acid in their { final digestion. This means that they help to balance the diet in this im- portant particular. Malted cereals may frequently be digested when other foods cannot, and in any case they offer a delight- ful variety to the morning breakfast food. There are numerous varieties of snappy and other appetizing forms of cheese which add considerably to the food value of a dish as well as to the flavor. These highly flavored cheeses are not for the children. Cucumbers are rich in fron, very rich in phosphorus, and almost 50 per cent base forming. Any one who needs to have his diet contain a large proportion of foods that are the oppo- site of acid forming should eat plenty of cucumbers, provided they do not cause distress. Bolled steanred ham is a savory Summer meat, but it should not be consumed in large quantities, and .t is too rich for the averdge child. Gluten bread offers a vegetable protein or body-building - material, but vegetable proteins differ consid- erably. Some are not complete, and the diet, if it is to be entirely satis- factory, must have represented in it what are known as complete proteins. The average housewife need not be troubled by this statement, for if she serves her gluten bread at a meal with & reasonable quantity of meat, the family dletary will be balanced. New England and Long Island ap- parently know best how to bring out the delicious flavor of scallops. Served In a white sauce they are much more delicate than when fried and served with bacon. (Copyright. 1925.) Nutrition Nuggets. Three of the most important min- eral salt§, namely; sodium, potassium and magnesium, are almost automati- cally present in'a well-balanced diet. This means that we need not trouble ourselves about them. The minerals about which we .must -concern our- selves are lime, phosphorus and iron. When the diet is deficient in lime add milk, butter, celery, cauliflower, ‘cheese, turnips, carrots, blackberries, lemon and orange julice. ‘When the diet shows a deficiency of iro ‘add ‘epinach, cabbage, string 'bb::n.‘ le;nl be'el,‘ egg yglks. dried ns, whole grain breads, 3 onions and dried beets. i In order to insure phosphorus in the diet eat spinach, fresh haddock, let- tuce, lean beef, asparagus, buttermilk, [fresh cod, celery, turnip, cabbage, [ raspberries, corn and onfons. ‘When the physician tells you to eat 2 purin free diet use white bread, eggs, milk, potatoes, all'the root vegetables, }Irulll, nuts, rice, fats,’ oils and all green " vegetables except spinach and asparagus. , (Copyrisht. 19380 . teries, boxes and wires on the living- | WASHINGTON, D.

ROTHY DIX, Proper Care Required by Jewelry BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. monds should be washed with warm soapy water and a soft brush that will get in every crevice of the most in- tricate setting. They should be dried in jeweler's sawdust, or boxwood saw- dust, as it is also called. A few drope of alcohol may be put into the water. The jewelry should be rinsed in hot water and put immediately into the sawdust and completely covered. Let it remain until thoroughly dry and then shake away the particles of saw- dust and the result will be almost as good as if the article were cleaned by a jeweler. Protect Jewelry. All g should be protected against rough pointed articles. Many beautiful and semi-precious stones are not very hard, and scratch easily. One plece of jewelry rubbing against an- other may dull the polish of the stones. Remember this when inclined to lay one plece of jewelry down on another. It costs money to have stones repolished, but it costs nothing to prevent them from losing their sheen. . Avoid letting acids, even in a mild form, get in touch with jewels. Both acids and alkalles affect certain gems; some are ruined by one of these agents and some by another. Cut_gems of almost all kinds may be safely washed with a soft brush, warm water and a mild soap. They should invariably be dried in jeweler's sawdust after rinsing in clear, warm water. Corn Pudding. This corn pudding will require suf- ficient scraped or grated corn to meas- ure one quart, one cupful or more of milk, according to the age and milki- ness of the corn, and a high seasoning of salt and pepper. To this add three well beaten eggs, three tablespoonfuls of sifted flour, three tablespoonfuls of butter melted, and one teaspoonful of sugar. Pour the batter into a pudding dish and bake for one hour and .a half in a slow oven. ,xy Neighbor Says: To clean tiled grates a strong solution of washing soda thick- ened to make a paste with ful- ler's earth is excellent. This will - easily remove stains or greases. The paste should be left on for an hour or two, then washed off with a flannel dipped in hot soap suds.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects coun- sel great caution and care, as the indi- cations point to excessive optimism. or to misunderstanding and doubt. There will be experfenced a sense of ability to accomplish too much, or an entire lack of self-confidence and seif-re- llance. The one attitude is just as dangerous as the other. Anything that is risky or speculative should be left entirely alone. Your judgment is lable to be warped, and your usual keenness of perception dulled. The safe course s to pursue the even tenor of your way, not allowing yourself to be led astray by any miragical out look, nor downcast by doubt or sus. piclon. The same conditions prevail throughout the day. A child born tomorrow will not pre- sent that healthy aspect which is de- sired. It will, apparently, be weak and puny. Appearances, however, are sometimes very deceptive, and, in this case, they will be most emphatica 80, as this child will possess great phy- sical resistance and a latent force that will see it successfully through all its troubles. It will be very studious, possess remarkable powers of concen- tration and be animated at all times ! by generous thoughts and kindly feel-| ings. It will be ambitious, and its qualities of leadership will enable it to shine both {n business and social life. Its personality will be dominating, without being disagreeable or officious. If tomorrow is your birthday, you, by your sunny, cheerful disposition, radiate happiness and dissipate gloom wherever you may be. You never yield | to despair, and, even in misfortunes or that would overwhelm others, you always see more saving features.| You refuse to be discouraged, and never give up the good fight. With it all your judgment is invariably sound and you have absolute control over yourself and your feelings. You like and seek comfort, and generally are able to eliminate from vour environ- ment that which is disagreeable or unpleasant. Your friends are, of course, leglon—drawn to you by the kindly spirit you exude—and they are as loyal to you as you are to them and many make you their confidant. Your home life - should be ideally happy and you receive and give a deep, constant love. (Copyright. 1025.)

Nothing at all,” replied Digger. “I was merely going to add that if there was a Prairie Dog town down on the Green Meadows Farmrer Brown wouldn't have any use for a mowing machine. Yap Yap and his friends would keep the grass cut close. It wouldn't get even long enough to hide Danny Meadow Mouse. Did vou ever see Johnny Chuck eat Farmer Brown's beans when they first came up?” Peter nodded. “I've seen him eat them right off so that you could hardly find the stems,” Peter replied.

He has a | doorstep, but it is guite different from | the doorstep on which Johnny Chuck | likes to sit.” “Isn't it made of sand?" Peter asked “Of course,” replied Digger. ‘And fsn't it right out in front of | his_doorway?" persisted Pete | Digger grinned. “That depends, | said he, “on what you consider being | in front of his doorway. You see, Yap | Yap's doorway is right in the middie | of that mound of sand and sp his door- | step is 2il around it.” Peter was puzzled and he showed it. “Excuse me, Mr. Badger,” said he, “but I don't see how he could throw out the sand all around it. I should think it would all come out from the ection in which he is digging.” “It does,” replied Digger. “You see, | he digs almost straight down. He | doesn’t dig in on a long.slant as Johnny Chuck does, of as Reddy Fox does, or as you do, or even as I do. He goes almost right straight down. And he goes down. deep. He goes down a long way before he digs his hallway off to one side and makes his bedroom. And he makes his bedroom a little above that hallway.” “I should think,” said Peter, water would run right dow: there has been a heavy rain “Huh!" replied Digger. “Yap Yap looks out for that. That is why he has his mound all the way around the entrance. Water could stand quite deep on the surrounding earth and | none of it could run down and drown | 1 declared ‘that when little Yap Yap out.
