.FOOD PAGE. Achieving Home Efficiency Here Are Some of the Quickest and Best Ways Adapted to Every-Day Housekeeping. Use one tablespoonful of turpen- tine to one quart of water when washing colored articles. This pre- vents fading and keeps the different colors from mixing. Let the article remain in the turpentine water for 30 minutes before washing. Ink stains on white or colored garments can be soaked out with a mixmro; of salt and sweet milk. Use a tea- spoonful of salt to nearly a half-| glassful of sweet milk. If the ink has been allowed to dry it will be necessary to soak the in the milk for an hour or two. jodine stains in sour milk for several | hours, according to the size of the| stain. Every trace of the iodine will disappear if the sour milk is applied when the stain is still moist. If a woolen or silk article is badly soiled, use two parts of clear cold water to one part gasoline. Squeeze but do not rub the garment, rinse in the same mixture and dry in the shade. Garments so treated look like new when pressed. To successfully remove stains from delicate fabrics, such as voiles, silks, or other goods, without leaving circles when using rasoline, place a clean blotter under the stained part and rub with gaso- line, then place another blotter on top and press with a hot fron. Water | spots or circles may be removed from | crepe dresses by folding a portion of the dress over the spot after it has dried and rubbing briskly together To remove grease spots from cloth put soft blotting paper underneath and on top of the grease spot, then draw a hot flatiron across it two or three times. The grease will be absorbed by the paper. Citrate of magnesia is also valuable for taking grease stains out of light materials. Apply it freely to the stain and leave it for about half an hour, then brush oft lightly with a clean brush. The magnesia absorhs the grease and leaves no mark behind. Chloroform rubbed in repeate with a soft cloth will Temove paint from silk or other fabrics. It will not injure the most delicate fabrics or col- ors. Always have and absorbent cloth or blotting paper on the under side to take up the moisture and grease which i rubbed out of the spots. To restore faded plush, lay the plush on a flat surface, pour a small quantity of chloroform on a sponge and rub it over the pile of the plush. Always clean with chloroform outdoors, When washing laces and other fine fabrics, use a heavy glass tumbler or cup for a miniature vacuum washer. With good soapy water, the material may be thoroughly and carefully cleaned in a few minutes without any rubbing. Pressing the cup up and down on the cloth or lace makes a suction that removes all soil. Laces may be wound around a bottle to dry. Table Linen and Towels. When laundering table linen the wearing quality will be preserved and a greater whiteness will be secured if the cloths are not hung on the clothes- line to dry. When the tablecloths are properly washed, boiled and rinsed, first pass them through a good wring- er, then spread them on a dry cloth, and finally roll up tightly. In two hours they may be ironed if you wish, or they may be left until the next day. Use very hot irons on the linen and a beautiful shéen will be imparted to it. To remove ink stains or peach stains that have dried in the cloth, use peroxide of hydrogen. As soon as it is dry from one application, put on more until the stain disappears, then rinse out at once in clear water. Peach stains may also be removed by first soaking the stained portion, then wring out, cover wth cream of tartar, then Jay out in the sun. The stain will soon disappear. To remove iron rust, take a slice of lemon about one- fourth inch thick and lay it on the cloth directly over the iron rust, then hold it over the steaming spout of a teakettle until it disappears. This is a much quicker way than using salt and lemon, as it only takes a few min- utes. To remove coffee stains, beat the yolk of a fresh egg until quite smooth, mix thoroughly with the same amount of pure giycerin, ad apply liberally to both sides of the stained cloth. Leave on for two hours, then soak in milk-warm water for one hour, and then wash in the usual wa; Put badly soiled towels in cold water to which has been added half a bar of shaved-up soap, one teaspoontul of Iye, and two tablespoonfuls of gasoline. Bring to a boll, and after 30 mnutes they will be gnow white. When wash- ing in soft water or clstern water, drop a handful of table salt or a spoonful of Epsom salts in the bluing ‘water and clothes will not streak or turn yellow in ironing. The secret of keeping a chamois leather cloth soft is to wash it in warm soapsuds and rinse it in fresh suds, not in clear water. Pull it out occasionally while it is hanging up to dry. When Ironing. To save electricity when . ironing place a picce of asbestos under the pad of the ironing board. Also use a mat of asbestos to rest the iron upon when not in use, and you will con- sume less electricity, as the iron re- tains its heat for hours when used in this way. Sew a pad mads from the left glove onto the palm of the right one and on ironing day you will find your hand will not blister, while the fingers and the back of the hand will be protected from the scorching heat which is so damaging to the skin. On froning day fold a cloth several times to form a long, thick pad. When you get to the part of a garment where the buttons are, lay the garment, mml tons face down, on the pad and iron on the wrong side. The result is very satisfactory, ides being quicker than the old way of trying to iron around each button. To Brighten and Renew. To renew faded artificial flowers or leaves powder ordinary sealing wax the color desired, place in a glass and pour over enough denatured alcohol to cover. Let stand until the sealing wax is thoroughly dissolved and per- fectly smooth, then with a small camel's hair paint brush paint the flowers and leaves with the melted & wax, being careful that the s thin enough to go on easily and not look gummy. This not only stiff- ens but gives them a lovely glo: ¢ them appear new and shiny. a pretty frosted effect, mix a mount of silver sealing wax e other color. Gold may be used equally as well. Often a very cheap bunch of cotton flowers appear to be made of silk and much more ex- pensive when treated in this way. To brighten up or make to look like new a black Milan straw hat, rub it over with banana oil. This not only adds luster, but the straw retains its flaxibility and does not stiffen. Do not, however, use banana oil on any straw except black Milan. If the heels of your black satin shoes get shabby looking before the shoes do, remove the worn satin from the heels and paint the heels w ck lacquer, 1f you wish 1o keep your kid gloves Jooking nice when not in use, put them in a container with a tight cover, such as a fruit jar, with a little camphor in it. They won't become aiscolorad or spotted and will remain as soft as when they were new. ‘When you think your white table olicloth is about ready to discard, buy o can of white enamel paint and give it a coat and let it dry well before using. You will then bave an oiicloth as good as new and a lot cheaper than buying one. You can use the paint that is left to brighten other things in the home. A very good plan is to put white oilcloth instead of paper in a washstand drawer that i used for toilet articles. It can easily be sponged over if anything is spilled on it, instead of having to change the paper. Leave the drawer open for a few hours at first to allow the smell of the oilcloth to pass off. Special Cleaning. Small pieces of soap can be used to advantage by putting them into an empty taleum powder box and then covering them with hot water. Sprinkle a little of this liquid in your dish water and there will be a good lather. When cleaning a white en- amel Kkitchen cabinet use a damp cloth dipped in soda, rub until clean, then polish with a dry cloth. This is fine for cleaning any enamel wood- work. Tiles that have lost their brilliance and are dull and scratched can be greatly improved if they are rubbed regularly with turpentine on a soft cloth. Wicker furniture that has becom dark and discolored should be scrubbed with a mixture of {a_zallon of strong soapsuds, a cupful | of s t and two ounces of bleaching A stiff brush should be used and it is advisable to keep the mix- ture away from the hands. The fur- niture should be dried thoroughly in the open air. ‘Waxed floors are apt to have black marks from moving the furniture around. These may be easily re- moved by placing a little paste wax inside a double fold of clean cloth and rubbing hard on the marks cross- wise. Then with a clean, dry cloth polish with a hard, brisk movement. wall paper gets soiled or spots or stains appear, take a block of magnesia and rub over the spot until it is well covered. Let stay on for a day or so, then rub off with a clean cloth. The spot of grease or stain or dirt will then disappear. To clean leather furniture, add a little vinegar to some warm water— not hat—and wash the leather, using a clean cloth or a small sponge. Wipe with a dry ecloth. Then, to re- store the polish, put two teaspoon- fuls of turpentine with the whites of two eggs, beat a little, then apply with a clean flannel cloth. Dry with another cloth, All the cloths should be soft and absolutely clean. powdes Nutrition Nuggets. Almost every one has heard of the grape cure. Cures and systems in general are not advisable, but they usually begin when some one has heard of the especially valuable parts of a certain food. So it is with grapes. We find that there is an especialy digestible form of fruit sugar in grapes, that they furnish lime for the bones and phosphorus for the cells of the body, and that they are a basic food. This means that they are valuable in offsetting the bad results of a diet that has been too largely acid-forming foods. So, although we are probably better off for not indulging in what is known as a grape cure, we shall be wise if we include rather generous quantities of this delicious fruit in our ordinary diet. This is the season for corn on the cob. Remember, that this vegetable should not be given to tiny children under the school age. They may have a delicately made cream of corn soup. In making such a soup, corn is cooked and strained through a coarse strainer so that only the milk part goes through. The hard outer covering of the casings will not harm a healthy person. In fact, a certain amount of this roughage is good for them, but it is extmerely irritating to the digestive systems of very young children. Let grown-ups enjoy broiled lob- ster, but do not give this form of meat to children. The fish of lobster is rather coarse and the fibers are put together in such a way as to make the meat difficult of digestion for children or invalids. Quinces are not so commonly used as some other fruits. Quince juice contains a comparatively smaller variety of the usual mineral salts as we find them in fruits in general. True, it does have phosphorus, and this is important, and it does have potassium, but, in general, quinces will not furnish the diet with a very large supply of the necessary body regulating salts. Shrimps are very popular with those who like sea food. We may de- pend on this form of fish to provide the diet with a rather large propor- tion of body-building food, although there are not body-regulating salts to make it an especially well balanced food. This means that a vegetable or meat salad should appear at the A)i“X{.gl where shrimps are the principal sh, If for any reason during your Summer outing you are cut off from your liberal supply of fruits for any length of time make a speclal effort to provide the party with plenty of lemons. These not only furnish ma- terial for delicious drink, but help to make up for loss of food values con- tained in other fruits. —— More than half the employes in Tennessee factorles, stores and laun- dries are women and girls.

The painted mirror is by M. Robert Pichenot, a French artist, who has recently delighted New York with the color and amus- ing conceptions of his creations. Its delightful gayety is adapted to rooms of almost every period. The gossamer glass flowers in the vase below are even more recent con- ceits. Their vogue was initiated by the designs of Chanel, the French dressmaker. Chanel does not attempt to reproduce real flowers in her de- signs, but contents herself with ac- knowledging thé source of her in. spiration and then achieving a beauty that is quite original. Bright, colorful and frankly artifi- cfal, these fantastic blooms make most imaginative table decorations. Their colorings run the gantlet of the rainbow tints and some forms are made in sparkling crystal. (Covyrixht. 1927.) Everyday Law Cases May Attorney in Jury Address Contract Wealth of Parties to Suit? “The plaintiff is not rich. not born with a silver s mouth. He cannot sit adorned chair with silver piled about his plate. He cannot ride in fine chariots. He does not have millions, like the defendant, made from the labor of other men.” Frank Barclay's attorney was thus waxing eloguent before the jury in his client’s case against Samuel Hearn. But Hearn’s attorney would not let him continue without first objecting to the court that the remarks were prejudicial to his client's case. Not- withstanding, the court made no in- struction that they were to be disre- garded by the jury, and the plea in Barclay’s behalf was continued. The jury later brought in a verdict for substantial damages, and Hearn's attorney appealed the case on the ground that Barclay's lawyer had fione outside the evidence in his ora- on. The appellate céurt ordered a new trial, stating the following rule: “For counsel in an argument to go outside the record of the case and call to the jury’s attention the financial condition of either of the parties to the action, or to make reference to or draw a contrast between: the relative wealth of the parties is generally deemed to be improper. The impro- priety of remarks of that character is said to result from the fact that they hinder the jury in deciding the action on its merits, since they incite the He was oon is his a a richly and gold jurors’ minds and passions and appeal to their emotions and sympathy.” (Copyright. 1027.) — Coffee Ginger Cookies.

Bake in a quick oven. PLANNING A WEEK’S FOOD It is a good time to remind my readers of something which I have said a great many times, namely, that a very material departure from the seasonal in foods is not only an ex- travagance financially, but it is not a good thing psychologically. Foods that are disinctly out of season may for a time seem a treat, but in reality thelr use is robbing ths year's dietary as a whole. By the time such foods are really in season they have lost their appeal. The weeks when such delicious and valuable foods as melons, peaches and grapes may be had freely are passing. The same applies to vegetables. Spin- ach, lima beans and tomatoes should appear very often as long as they are in season. Of course, the supplies of late Summer vegetables are hegin- ning to run low, but those for the ‘Wintar will begin to take their places, and now s the time to study the possibilities of these so-called Winter vegetables, 8o that when the variety of vegetables is more limited we shall know what to do in order to make the THERE’S AT LEAST ONE IN EVERY OFFICE.

These are the days also for taking account of physical and nervous en- ergy as left over from Surhmer. The phrase, Spring tonic, is often used, but we think seldom of the Autumn tonic. True, the purpose of the Au- tumn_tonic is slightly different, but it is none the less imporant. \When I speak of a tonic to be derived from food, I am_ thinking not of anything medicinal, but, rather, of food as a vital force that helps to correct one's normal supply of energy. It I were asked what foods in- cluded in the week’s meals might be considered as tonics, I should begin with the milk. This is used as a bev- erage for the children and others who like it. Other tonic foods included are the fruits and vegetables, since these help to build up resistance to disease. Building foods, such as meat, fish and cheese, are looked upon as founda- tions rather than as tonics. Milk is, of course, both a foundation food and a tonic food and therefore serves a double purpose. —By BRIGGS. - V'Youm S@RVICES No 0 toweer requiren” | wWHY Tue IDeA!!

Do you approve of using water out of a hot-water tap for cooking and for making tea or coffee? In most hot- water bollers there must be a certain amount of stale water and rust. I have found a great many of my neigh- hors using the same, and al Vs won- der what is the matter with their stomachs.—Mrs. E. M. ‘To answer your question directly, I do not favor the using of water from the hot-water tap for cooking pur- poses. Some years ago this was espe- cially dangerou: since many old plumbing systems used lead in the manufacture of the pipes. Since the alts of lead are soluble in hot water, there might easily have been cases of lead poisoning from the pipes. Even now, in spite of the fact that efficient plumbing systems are the rule rather than the exception, there may be even one or two old houses left in the com- munity where the practice would be dangerous because of this fact. But the somewhat remote danger of lead in the pipes is only one reason for not using this hot water. As you say, practically all boilers, unless kept in immaculate state, have been collecting on their sides sedi- ment from water which has been standing. While this sediment may not in itself contain any organisms that are actually harmful, it is also possible that such organisms may be present. Therefore, it is only common sense to do as you suggest and draw the water to be used in cooking from the freshly running stream of cold water and to boil this for use in cook- ing. Remind your friends that prac- tically all directions for making good tea stress the importance of using “freshly boiling water.” Entirely apart from the possible danger in- volved in using stale water, it is an undeniable fact that the flavor is much impaired unless the water is freshly heated. Are the following foods permissible for any one who suffers from acid stomach, chronic collitis, Bright's dis- ease: Sauerkraut, cottonseed oil, olive oil, lemon and orange juice?—J. U. Of the three disturbances which you BY MARY MARSHALL. mention, Bright's disease being the most serious, I will do what I can to answer your question about that first. This disease calls for plenty of fat in the diet, and while I do not see any reason for including the fat you men- tion, namely, cottonseed and olive oil, I should think that where Bright's disease is concerned it would be better to vary the fats, adding cream and butter. As for the sauerkraut, green vegetables are valuable in diet for Bright's disease. But it seems to me that the matter of sauerkraut should only be determined in the individual case. This is particularly so with you, since you mention having other digestive disturbances as well. Sauer- kraut, by the way, would be excellent for the acid stomach, but it might be irritating for the collitis. It seems to me that you will have to follow in the main this line of diet planning; that is, beginning with diet for Bright's disease and fitting in the foods best for the other disturbances as best you can. In collitis, for ex- ample, the diet should be very easily digested, soft and finely divided food, with as little residue as possible. The Vvegetables should be boiled in slightly hat water, mashed through a strainer and made into thick purees or cream soups. In general, the diet as out- lined for Bright's diseass will not cause difficulty in the case of those having collitis also. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

The fare was jest 8 franks, so I declded to glve him 10, but a 50 frank note wag the smallest thing I had and do you think I was going to trust that man with a 50 frank note wile he was sitting there in perfeck con- trole of that wheel? I should say not. I went in the hotel to get the Ixact change, and the hotel clerk was gabbeling away to somebody in Frentch about something that dident sound the leest bit important, but he finely condescended to make change for me and wen I went out agen the taxi driver started a long speetch and waved at the meter, and it seems it had marked up 4 more franks for the time he was waiting, though Im sure I hadent bin gone more than 15 min- nits, but enyway that made 12 franks and I figured a very easy way to get out of it was to jest give him 15 franks including the tip, in other words 3 five frank bills, and he cer- teny thanked me profusely, in fact he was so cordial about it that now I think I mite of given him 3 ten frank bills insted of 3 five frank ones, wat color are the 10 frank ones, Wil- lyum?

Small though the originals cost, they had them cleaned and reblocked. A fresh ribbon band or a new jeweled ornament was all that they needed to| look quite new. The really wise milliners went about devising new fashions for these simple felt hats. They pleated them, and draped them in ways that might not be too easily imitated. Agnes of Paris is given credit for having orig- inated the new felt hat that is slashed at the brim in front—with one side turned back and up and the other flopping downward over one eye. Among the new accessories for Autumn nothing has interested me more than a little scarf I saw the other day that can be transformed at will into a sleeve scarf or a waist- coat. The trick is so simple that you can easily make the scarf yourself. Just send me a stamped, self-ad- dressed envelope and I will send you a sketch, diagram and full directions for making. Alligator skin in mellow tones of brown is used extensively for both shoes and handbags—and in plan- ning your Autumn wardrobe you can- not do better than to consider the possibilities of these brown tones. A very smart street ensemble would consist of a black satin or cloth frock, worn with brown alligator shoes and purse, thin brown silk stockings, brown gloves and a black hat bearing one of the new tortoise-shell orna- ments, After this somewhat lengthy discus- sion, perhaps I had better outline a diet for Bright's disease, as follows: Fats, both vegetable and animal; that is, vegetable oils, cream, milk, cream soups, a few eggs, leafy vegetables, practically all fruits, cheese, cereals, orange juice, grape juice and other fermented fruit juices. Diet list for collitis may include cream soups, white meat and fish, soft part of oysters, white meat of chicken, sweetbreads, cereals, eggs, purees of vegetables, cooked sweet fruit, such as sweet apples. Perhaps from the above notes you may be able by careful experimenting to work out a diet that will most suit your own requirements. | DAILY DIET RECIPE | Cafe Parfait.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Mature Woman’s Beauty. ‘This week I seem to be trespassing upon the fleld of the fashion artist, who gives suggestions on color schemes for different types of women, but my approach to the subject is a little different from hers. I have given my ideas on makeup and clothes for certain types of blonds and brunettes whose hair is turning gray and whose complexion is rather dull and somewhat yellow. Instead of telling this type of woman to avold certain colors I ad- vise her to avoid sallowness, so that she may wear the colors she pleases. A skin that has been fair in girlhood need not turn brown in middle life if it is given the proper care. Good health, too, is a very important item in keeping the appearance of youth. As women advance into the late forties and fifties, many of them do not realize that they must readjust some of their habits of living. Worry ‘Wandering Attention, “I can’t get my child to pay atten- tion to anything longer than a min- ute. She goes from one thing to another like an excited butterfly. She picks up a ball and drops it and picks up a doll and drops that. That is the way she goes on for hours. Nothing holds her attention. What can we do?” First, one has to discover why the child does not interest himself in any one thing long enough to get any ex- perience out of it. He may be in need of a specialist's care, because his nervous system is not in good working cups; egg white, two; vanilla, one tea- spoon. SERVES SIX PORTIONS. Place sugar and coffee liquid in a saucepan and boil until it spins a thread, then pour over the stiffly whipped whites of the eggs and beat until light; add vanilla. When cold fold in the whipped cream gradually. Place in mold, seal well, pack in salt and ice, and let stand about three hours. DIET NOTE. Recipe contains, in the cream and egg whites, fat and protein and lime and vitamins A and B. Because of the coffee content, should only be taken by aduits with whom coffee agrees. Because of the sugar and heavy whipping cream, should not be eaten by one wishing to reduce. Savory Dish. Cook enough spaghett! to make two cupfuls in boiling salted water until tender. Make a sauce with four table- spoonfuls of flour, four tablespoonfuls of butter, two cupfuls of milk and one teaspoonful of salt. Shave up one- half a pound of American cheese and e T fuls of shredd cabbage with thé spaghetti and sauce in a buttered bak- ing dish in layers and cover the top with buttered bread crumbs. Cook for about thirty minutes in a moderate oven. whot order. Maybs his eyes are poor or his hearing is bad. Maybe he is suf- fering from malnutrition. But it may be, and often is, that the child is being asked to pay attention to many things at once. No child can do that. If the demand is too much, if there are too many things close to him, his attention will wander from one to another and back again, because that is the nature of attention. The little girl in question had a modern nursery room in which she spent her indoor hours. It was a beautifully decorated room, for an adult. The walls had rows and rows of lovely animals that were doing all kinds of interesting things. Fairies peeped out of flower-framed nooks and Mother Goose people appeared on the furniture, on the curtains, in the rugs. Scattered about on the floor and on the tables and window seats were enough things to supply an orphan asylum of the good old kind. Horses lay on their backs, dolls stood on their heads in bath tubs, amid gay pails and tiny tubs. They stretched out beseeching arms from under cushions and pillows.

Less food is required now than in the more active years of life Plenty of fresh air and a moderat: amount of outdoor exercise are re quired to retard the aging process which in most cases come premature ly as the cumulative effect of habitual neglect of health rules during youth and early maturity. Overweight is a prime enemy of mi lady’s beauty in middle life. It mot only puts unnecessary strain on her heart and the internal organs, but it ruins her figure. The woman with a large, bulky form does not look chic in her clothes, no matter how expen sive and beautiful they may be. Light colors make her appear magnified in size and she cannot wear graceful and floating draperies. She must wear dark or neutral colors in dull finish fabrics with tailored lines. The mature woman whose figure is slender and whose complexion reflects the clear glow of health may wear almost any color but black and bright, harsh red. Flesh, cream and yellow ish pinks are becoming. Seal and chestnut browns and dull pinkish tans are good. Dull blue is excellent, especially if her eyes are blue. Dark green may be worn with a cream or flesh collar. A blue-gray material with a small pinkish figure in it would be pretty. Warm gray may also be worn. Pink, lavender and Burgundy are good. Pale yellow in sheer fabrics is becoming to the brown-eyed type. Y face powder should be used spar- ingly on wrinkled shins. If the com- plexion is inclined to be oily a mild astringent lotion may be patted on instead of powder. A very faint trace of rouge or lipstick is permissible, but too much make-up gives a hard look to the face. OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri tion. Nature forced her to note every- thing that came under her eye, and this room was more than the usual eyeful. ‘What that child needed was a rest from paying attention. She was the quick-moving sort that noticed every sight and sound. We emptied the room, cleared the walls, the furniture and the rugs, and left but the simplest kind of decoration and the most restful coloring. We left in the playroom a swing in which she could sit and swing back and forth as she pushed against the bar at her feet. The stronger the push the higher the swing. We gave her four large, rather heavy blocks with which to build a house for the one rag doll we kept out of the col- lection. At first the child was plainly uncom- fortable in the comparatively empty room, but about the third day she smiled to herself, reached for the blocks and set up housekeeping. Gradually her fidgeting ceased and she gave her whole attention to what she had in mind. You see, she was only three years old, and three years cannot stand so much of the world at one time. If you have a child whose attention wanders, make sure you ars not ask- ing him to see too much at one time. (Copyright. 1027.)
