WOMAN'’S PAGE. Methods of Laundering Rugs BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The fashion for washable rugs has made the laundering of them a prob- " lem in many a household. To get them | the wash. really clean after being under the tread of feet is & matter of knowing how.

They are usually sent to experts to be washed, but small rugs can be done at home. Colors are fast. The knotting is firm, if the rug is in good condition, and weaves are strong.

The simple task of cooking for baby often bewilders a mother, who is accus- tomed to preparing food for adults. She has an idea that foods for the young precious must be very different from foods for the family, so she throws up her hands at the gigantic task of pre- xparmg cereal or scraped steak or stewed ruit. In general, foods for small children lack the seasgnings demanded by adults. Cereal should be thin, smooth, and well cooked. Vegetables should be steamed, or boiled in the smallest possible bit of water. Prult should be thoroughly washed, cooked until tender, lightly seasoned with sugar, and through a sleve. In fact, that wire sieve is an invaluable adjunct of the kitchen during the baby’s reign. Vege- tables, cereals, fruits and juices all go through the fine mesh that sieves out these woody, tough. indigestible por- tions which would burden baby's stomach. Here are some recipes for the foods which appear early in the child’s life. I sincerely hope every mother has her scissors handy to clip them for ready | reference. In addition we have a leaf- let on “Recipes for First Foods,” which is a handy supplement to the diet list calling for these foods. Please send a self-addressed stamped envelope for the above leaflet, and address your request to Myrtle Meyer Eldred, “Your Baby and Mine” department of this news- | paper. ] | Orange Juice.—Press out the juice of | Run juice cne-half a sweet orange. through a wire sieve. Measure one tea- spoon of this and add to it one tea- &poon of bolled, cooled water. Give this to the young baby. Older children may the juice undiluted and the amount may be gradually incre: until the child is taking the juice of one whole orange every day. ‘Tomato Juice.—The juice of canned tomatoes is as valuable for its vitamin content as that of raw tomatoes, and | 1s available all the year around. Twice as much tomato juice as orange juice may be given baby. It, too, must be sieved. A tiny bit of salt may be added to it, or a wee pinch of soda if it is too acid. Always bring canned tomatos to a brisk boil bafore using the juice for the baby. Cereal Jelly.—Cereals are the first solld foods to be offered the young hopeful. Baby will like them better if they are just the consistency of jelly, and not so extremely different from the foods which he has been accustomed, slightly sweet, milky in flavor and just lukewarm. Remember these pointers. One-half cup of milk, one-half cup of water, a pinch of salt and one table- spoon of farina or cream of wheat, re- sult in the above type of cereal. If the mother uses oatmeal, two tablespoons Serve It With Hot Milk On Chilly Mornings coarse-fibered brush, but one with short nrflhtrflmhfllflelu’mhllrh ne.

(Copyright, 1931 BY MARY ELIZ Paying in Advance. { .“T'l just pay you in advance for it and then it will be off my mind.” The woman customer lald the money grand- ly on the counter mn the small shop where we had stopped for an errand. | It was not necessary for her to pay in advance It set us to pondering on | what the disadvantages to the customer would be in case the services were not | satisfactory. | When our bills are not payable xn\ | advance, it is generally poor policy to | pay them until they are due. The rea- 1 |sons are both practical and psycho- | | loglcal. | Practically, there is no reason why one should sacrifice the possession of | money until there is real cause. Small | amounts may draw only small amounts of interest, but it is something. Fur- | | thermore, if one does pay in advance, a bill so paid should be entitled to a discount. Psychologically, & seamstress, milliner, | | tradesman, shopkeeper or furrier is more likely to try to satisly one before | a bill is paid ihan after. Before being | paid, it is obvious that entire satisfac- tion 1s required. In some cases & small deposit may be required before work will be started, but uxi.l should be only & small amount af- fered as a declaration of good falth. 1s required for this amount of fluld. For other cereals use three tablespoons of rice, or four ns of corn meal. All measurements are level. The milk, water and salt should be brought to a boll in the top section of a double boil- er. Pour in the cereal and stir briskly until it thickens. Then set the top pan into the bottom part of double boiler, cover, and cook slowly for one hour.

Straight Talks to Women About Money ABETH ALLEN. Persons without credit, or of unfavor- able reputation, are often required to pay in advance, but then there is a question of honesty. ‘There ghould be but two ways to pur- chase for the woman of honest reputa- tion. Either for cash on delivery, be it at home or at the counter, or on credit, 2s in the case of the woman who “charges.” - Before paying in part or in full for any article, one should demand entire satisfaction. 1f payment is requested before, one’s best reply is that the ar- ticle is worth its price or nothing at all. The price will be pald if the article 15 up to specifications, A few ‘women, but exceedingly few, discount their bills — that is, if they |pay a bill a month in advance, they | take off a half of 1 T cent because that is at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. It would be 1 per cent for a payment two months in advance. By paying in advance one puts one’s self needlessly at the mercy of the seller, and in the event of any contrcversy one is in a weak position to seek an adjust- ment. C. O.

And this was true, for to each had been given cer- tain talents peculiarly fitting him for lite in such surroundings so that he could succeed where others would fail. ‘Thus Billy had been given surefooted- ness, perfect balance, fearlessness in climbing steep rocks and a warm white | coat for double protection. All these | Billy had made the best possible use of, so that he not only lived well and happily on those inhospitable mou tain slopes, but had no desire to Ii anywhere else. He had made a suc- cess of living. | Farmer Brown's Boy was thinking of | these things as he climbed the upper slopes of a neighboring mountain and wondering if he would find there any- one else as well adapted to life amid such bleak and forbidding surround- | ings. At the foot of the mountain he | had passed through a forest of great | trees. The higher he climb:d the smaller became the trees, until they were no longer as high as his head and at last ceased altog=ther. He was above the tree line. Above, were rocky slopes and mighty cliffs. It was a world of rock with grasses and other low-lying _plants only in_ sheltered places. He sat down in the sheiter of a hig rock, for the wind was strong and not too warm. and he was tired and heated and out of breath. Not a living thing had he seen since There had been no sharp warning whistle of a Marmot. no bleating bark of a Pika or Cony. no glimpse of Talons the Golden Eagle, nothing to indicate that any one lived in these rocky wastes. Prom where he sat he had a wonderful view of magnificent cliffis and crags nd towering snow-capped peaks.
