It will thin the mucilage too much, thereb: making it less adhesive, If the muci- lage is hardened, not crusted, stand the bottle in moderately hot water and gradually increase the heat. This can be cone by standing the bottle in a small saucepan with a thin plece of wood put in the bottom to raise it and prevent its coming ia direct contact with heat. Glue can be melted when it becomes ! one solid mass by heating it in this way. Place the saucepan with the glue pot on the piece of wood in the bottom of the pan. Stand the saucepan on the back of the stove or over the sim- merer in a gas range and let the glue melt very slowly. It will become smooth and liquefied again. Library paste that has been frozen, or which has been affected by tempera- ture so that it is jellied and has lost its adhesive quality should be scooped out of its container and put into a saucepan. Add a little boiling water and put the pan over a slow heat. Stir constantly until it is well softened and a thick liquid. It must boil. Stir con- stantly until it is cool enough to put back in the container. It will be in good condition if properly done. Paste that is frozen will lose its adhesive quality, but this treatment will re- store it. (Copyright, 1929.) DAILY DIET RECIPE SAVORY POTATOES. Potatoes, six medium size. Onion, one small.

In a certain large city near Wash- ington the city prison is next door to the emergency entrance of a hospital. Just the other day a poorly attired woman approached the head nurse and inquired for her son. The mother gave the nurse the name of her boy, but an investiga- tion disclosed the fact that no such person had been received. “Did he get| hurt?” asked the | kindly nurse. | “No, he got five | days,” said the mother. She had mistaken the hos- pital for the jail. * % A young couple has a colored maid. One ‘night, recently, they entertained another couple that arrived late. This necessitated the maid remaining later than usual. The male guest, after din- ner, left a dollar under a plate. The hostess later went to the kitchen, and, as & token of appreciation, slipped the servant another dollar. As the maid left, the host met her in the hall, and in token of appreciation, handed her another dollar. None of the contribu- tors was, of course, aware that the others had given her a fee. * ok ok K This reminds us of a story which may not be familiar to every reader. A young fellow bought a suit of clothes and discovered that the trousers were too long. He went to his mother and asked her if she would shorten them two inches, She replied that she had MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

He then sought a sister, who said that she couldn’t take the job. - Disappointed, the young fellow hung the trousers up in a closet. A short time later, the mother decided to short- en the garment, so she cut the legs off several inches. The aunt, feeling sorry that she had refused the boy’s request, took the already shortened trousers from the closet and cut off two inches. Later in the day the sister, regrett that she had not helped her brother, also cut off several inches. When the young chap again looked at his trousers he found them to resemble & boy's size garment. * ok * ok Summer boarding-house keepers are truly resourceful. A guest spending his vacation at one of these places com- plained that the flies were very annoy- ing in the morning when he sat on the porch to read. “Well,” said the proprietor, “you might try the porch at noon, because the flies will all be in the dining room at that time.” * ok ok A hungry man went into a local res- taurant and scanned s long menu.

"NANCY PAGE Church Supper for Fifty is Success BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘The church to which Nancy belonged was fortunate in having a clergyman who believed in young peopfe. At the beginning of the school year he made & number of attempts to interest them in a church home for the coming year.

One of the first functions of the year ‘was a church supper. asked his own ners to come hnd t the strangers. Nancy and Peter always re- nded, much to the minister's de- ht.

A'!Omwmmwfleum:“lmmwmmwmwwflnm world, and becuuse there §s no other way out of it, I am going to live with his mother, and I am determined to get along with her. Can you give me a few tips on how to do it? It is always & dangerous adventure and one that nearly always ends in disaster for a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to attempt to live under the same roof, because, for one reason, it takes more breath of character and g:; erosity of soul.and ess than most women possess to keep them being jealous of each other. The hu ints :ll_" is more full of tragedy than when the “other woman’ mother., And for another reason mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who live together generally have a Kilkenny-cat time because they cannot keep from in- terfering with each other, and for still another reason they do not harmonize because they represent the clash between two generations, the old way and the new way of looking at everything, and doing everything, from matters of etiquette and propriety to g bables to sleep. Still, however hazardous the venture of & bride going to live 'le'l.h her Also, they, too, react to the s e e so, my first tip to the young wife who is going to live with her mother-in-law is not to go into her new home with a chip on her shoulder looking for a fight and determined that no mother-in-law shall put anything over on her. Instead, approach mother-in-law with the olive branch in your hand and make more effort to vamp her than you ever did to get her son. Spread the salve and put honey on your tongue. Be more deferential to her than her own daughters are. Don’t resent her every suggestion any more than mother’s. Ask her advice. After all, she has had a lot mm world than you have had and knows many things that it will 40 years to find out for yourself. And, anyway, you won't ha advice if you don't want to, but it will tickle her pink for you to compliment of seeking her opinion on matters. My second tip is: Disarm her jealousy. Don't flaunt the fact that her son belongs to you now in his mother’s face. Don't monopolize him. Share him with her. See that he her even more attention than he did before he was married. Leave them e together for little talks, Keep in mind that it is a bitter thing for a mother to see the son that :he :orfl'\:l.n b:x;: ;l:&:;:l;n'bun 3": one tmngxthm in"ffiut ever since the ay he 3 another woman er, another woman above her in his heart and turning to another woman m‘,l‘:I congpmkmmripr ‘The great fear that every woman has when her son marries is tha will lose him entirely, that his wife will separate him from her, so if yo: :vhfle} make your husband’s mother see that you have no desire to do this, she will spend the balance of her life burning grateful incense at your feet. * %k k X MY THIRD tip is: Hands off the housekeeping.
