There are some who consider that they are mot obligated to aid ‘the ad- ministration in its effort to relieve shortages of fuel or food. that they cah do as they- please, seil to whem they like apd surpound the sales with all Kinds of conditions which operate to the bemefit of the dealer. This situation exists im seme iocalities in spite of the fact that - esovermment warning has been jssued to the effect that it is handicapping th~ effort of the administration to bring about the fullest cooperation on the part of ealers, and that such opposifion will not be tolerated. That this cooperationfs going to be forced if it is not emtered into vel- untarily i$ to be gathered from the rebuke which was administered to a Philadelphia coal firm, which was in- formed that if the advice ts the effect that 1 was refusing to coopefate with the fuel adnumistrator was corréct rteps wontd be tdken- to have-all the coal shipped to the firm diverted and s°np to those flrms which are .coad- crating with the government.

Never cook vegetables in an iron Kkettie. Spgar tends te improve the textyre dakes. 3 If a cake cracks open while baking there is too much flour in it. Soaking in celd water makes the washing of all garments much easier. The quickest rthod of warming cold plates in winter is to dip them in hot water. Baking soda will sweeten milk ves- sels, clean brasses and is good fer aish washing. ‘When the nafis are brittle, apply vaseline, or hold them in warm sweet cfl every day. _When «a vegetable has lost its firm- ness, soak it in very cold water until it is critp and, plump. _~— To_clean a soiled lace yoke in a silk or cloth dress, rub powdered starch into the lace: let it lie several hoérs and then brush it out.

The fat should be beiling hot before putting the fish in. Paint can be removed from clothing by saturating the spots two or three times with equal parts of ammonia and turpentine. Then wash out in soap suds. A 500d method to save fuel is to do many things with one fire. On wash- ing days there must be of necessity a good fire; so cook as much as pos- sible on that day. Kitchen utensils made of wood msy be kept cican and white by rubbinz with soap and lukewarm water to which is added a little common eoda or household amonia. GOOD PICTURES.

Better material can thus be af forded for the same outlay of mone: and ev z¥ penny cownta in the house. hoid budget these days. There are some things whi¢h the housewife who makes her own sheets and pillow cases ought to know. First that a sheet should be thirty inches wider than ihé . mattress and from twenty to thirty inches longer. This allows for a cowmfortable tuckiag in all around. Sheet hems should be three inches wide at the top and 6ne at the bottom. Plliow cases #are one yard long and one and ong-half imches wider thafi the pillow. Hems of pil- low cases should be twe to two and one-half inches deep. Central seams in a pillow case should be finished with a flat hem on the right side. This kind of a hem not only looks bet- ter. but wears and iroms better than a Frepch seam. Tablé limen has a more or less cut v certain a#moun Bor i -wflusmum-um- lowed.

While the sides of the cup prevent the direct light of the fldme from being visiblé to the person in bed, a pleasant dim light is cast over the room. HAT AND SHOES MATCH. Women who pay particular ticn to the footwear—and where is the woman Who does mot?—will be imter- ested in the announcement that Cailot had all tbeir mannequing shod with slippers of a deep ‘wine lsnor at their recent opehings. These slippers, by the way. were worn with eévehing dresses. It may be they will take the plice here, eventually, of black safia or even of the slippers whose co»o— matches that of the gow: s they form a cross batween the uplie: of black and that of brown, and this in itself should make them modish, gince brown is oné of the most popu- lar_colors of the new season.

Women operate taxicabs la Wash- ington, D. C. The new lavor party is in favor of woman suffrage. Miss Molla Bjurstedt is known s the “iron woman” of teunis. Italy is depending upon her women to till the soil of that count.y. The. repairing of water meters in Philadelphia is to be done by women. Miss Birdine Bright, factory inépec- tor for the board of pudblc welfare in Kansas City, is making a survey of employes of stores. factories, restau- rants, offices, and other places 0 bus- iness where giris and women are em- ployed, in ‘order to zet accurate lists of those who are geiting a wage of $5 2 week or less.
