KEEP ACCOUNTS 1 FOR HOUSEHOLD, Household, accounts should bei simple, and for this purpose the cash). book should be ot a reasonable sized and merely ruled off with money col-l umns. Entries must be made so thatl, it is possible to see at a glance the! money received to date, the amount! spent, and the balance there should! be in hand. I The left-hand pages of the book constitute the debit side, that is, on them are entered all money received tor housekeeping, expenses, together with the date. On the right-hand page-the credit side-must be en- tered all the expenses and all pay- ments as they are made. Once a week the accounts should be balanc- ed. Add up both columns, and com- pare the total spent with the total re- ceived. If the total spent is less than the total received, the amount left in hand should balance the difference. This amount of balance in hand should be added to the figures of the right-hand page, and both totals then being alike, the columns should, be ruled off, and the amount of the balance transferred to the left-hand page to start next week's accounts. Whenever a page is filled, be' it the right first, or the left, the entries on that not filled should cease and a line drawn diagonally across the blank space. the columns totalled up, and the information carried_forward to Wednesday, November 19, 1924. tm, WE HAVE A WAGON EVERY MORNING ON EVERY STREET Cakes BOX CAKES: DATE CAKES LAYER CAKES Marshmallow JELLY ROLL None Will Satisfy The fhaest green tea produced in the world. .---.

This simple book is merely an ac- count of money spent, but the main . object of household accounts is to dis- }sect the expenditure, and, placing it (under its various headings, decide, if inecessary, where there is undue ex- ;travagance. For this purpose anoth- ger book must be kept where the items iare posted separately. Rent and itaxes, household labor, food, lighting (and fuel, pleasure, travelling. replac- iing of household goods and utensils, land incidental expenses should cover an average house.

Cut the scallop out on one edge, unfold the paper, and by placing it on the edge of the skirt the outline can be drawn with a pencil. If a busy mother hasn't the time to huttonhole the scallop, the scallop can be cut out and quickly fin shed by crocheting in single crochet with a steel crochet- hook around each scallop. This looks nea“1_v as nice as if Jrcttonholed, when washed.

Cos- tumes of crepe paper for pageants, plays or fancy dances are far more effective and much more quickly and easily made than if more expensive cloth materials were used. In decorating, work for effect; do- not putter over details. Get the gen- eral decoration finished, then it time permits, give finishing touches. Be- tore starting to work, have all mater- ials handy, scissors, hammer, tacks, pins and wire. Wire is better than string for holding things together. Two twists hold, while string is apt to slip in tying. To cut a fold of crepe paper, into strips, slip the ‘paper out ot the packet the required width, run two or three pins straight through the packet and the paper to keep the crepe from slipping, then using the edge of the packet as a guide, cut through the entire thickness with sharp shears. Ruffled or Fluted edge. Hold the edge of the crepe paper between the thumbs and forefingers, then stretch between the fingers, first one way and then the other, thus producing the ruffled effect. The paper may be fluted without removing..tyom the packet. Slip the paper part way from the packet and stretch all thicknesses at once. l, To make crepe paper tubing;, cut the paper across the grain of the crepe, three times the width ‘desired for the finishing tttbe. Fold one end into thirds by doubling the two ends under, being sure that the dull side orthe paper is on the outside. Next fold the end ove? two or three times and tack in place. Fold the other end, in the same way, stretch, and tack in place.. In estimating the len,gth of the tube, cut the crepe six or eight inches for each foot to allow the proper stretching. Cheesecloth makes charming cur- tains, wears excellently, launders easily and looks remarkably well. Make the curtains simply as befits the material. They may be hemmed with stitches of colored floss. They are easily stencilled. If more color is desired this is readily acquired by means of the dye pot. Curtains for a living room have been obtained by coloring cheesecloth a soft brown or a dull blue or apricot color.

ONTARIO " SCRUBBING HAS 1} HAD ITS DAY The goodbyes are being said to the scrub brush and the down-on-the- knees method of scrubbing. In fact, scrubbing the kitchen floor is becom- ing an unnecessary task in many homes.' The floors are being made non-porous so that grease and dirt spilled on them cannot be absorbed. Kitchen floors are going to repel, rather than absorb dirt. Housewives have striven to keep the kitchen floor clean, immaculate and sanita"y. They have succeeded well with their efforts but they have paid the price. Many an hour has been spent in, scouring and scrubbing and much strength has been used in the accomplishment of the task. Linoleum and similar washable material makes a very satisfactory covering tor the kitchen floor. It can be laid in almost every kitchen unless the boards are extremely un- even. Even then, they can be leveled so that the material can be put down with good results. Inlaid floor covering of this kind will last a lifetime if p.'0per1y piac- ed upon the floor. Ot course, it will wear out if the seams are not closed tightly so that the water cannot run underneath and if the edges are not securely fastened so that they cannot bend back and ciaek. suppose. you wish. to cover your kitchen, floor. What will you do first? By all means take the meas- urements of the room and secure sue- ficient heavy builder’s felt for the lining. Yo may choose to use old newspapers instead of felt. When you buy the material, the dealer will be able to supply you with the ce- ment and paste needed in putting it on the floor. If he hasn't it in stock he will be able to get it for you, _ You will need two brushes to ap- ply the paste and cement. One eight inch brush is just the ting for the paste while a tive inch brush is bet- ter for the cement.

It may seem a bit odd to start with the kitchen instead of with the living room for our lighting lessons, but the kitchen is a room of importance. A home may be built without a sun room or a living room, but without a kitchen, never! And this is the room in our home where somebody must work a good many hours each day. In most families that somebody is likely to be Mother. Winter morn- ings there's breakfast to get by electric light. There's always kitchen work to do after dark in the evening and there are gloomy days when artificial light is neces- sary almost all day long in the kitchen. Factory work rooms are com- pelled by law to be at least reason- ably well lighted, but the work r.oom of the home, the kitchen, often is very badly lighted just be- cause Mother never has complained about it. To be well lighted, there should be a flood of soft, even light in the kitchen that gets into every nook and corner. When you stand at the sink while washing the dishes, there should be no deep, black shadows on the dishes. It should be impossible to "stand in your light" so as to throw a dense shadow on your work anywhere in the room,, You should be able to open the oven door and actually see in. Many kitchens are lighted with a fixture light like the one shown in this picture. No kitchen can be well lighted with this old style lighting equipment. In spite of everything you do, it will always make bad shadows, because the bulb-is so low that you can't help throwing your own shadow in front of you. There's only one cure--- take it out. ' Proper light for the kitchen means a 100-Watt clear bulb or 150-watt daylight or blue bulb, put close up to the ceiling so that there will be a minimum of shadow. To soften the light, it should be surrounded by a dense milk-white, all enclosing, glass globe. Preferably this piece of glassware should be flattened out b little in shape in order to spread the light well over the room. This is shown in the next picture.

Changing the old style fixture to this modern kitchen light will make a surprising difference in the appearance of the kitchen and in the ease with which kitchen work may be done. In order to be sure that there is plenty of light at the sink, and no bad shadows, it is usually well to provide in addition to the light at the ceiling, a bracket fixture on the wall over the sink, or, if that is not possible, another light hung from the ceiling, which will be over the sink. This light should be' just high enough above the head to be out of the way. This fixture should have a deep, open bottom, dense milk-white glass shade. It may have an insulated pull chain switch. In some kitchens a fix... ture like this may be needed over the kitchen stove. Just as a 100-watt lamp bulb in the ceiling fixture will give proper lighting, so a 50-watt white bulb is excellent for the fix... ture over the sink or the stove. Some people prefer a 150-watt day- light or blue bulb in the center fixture and a 75-watt daylight or blue bulb in the fixture over the sink or stove. The use of daylieht or blue bulbs makes a well kept kitchen look even more spick and span and gives to it, night or day, a daylight cheerfulness. When using an electric iron or any other, appliance, we need all the light we can get. Therefore, it is not a good thing to remove a bulb to connect the iron.

TALKING HONEY (No. 7) There is as much difference in varri- ous kinds of honey as there is in the butter of different butter-makers, or the milk from different dairies. Part of the difference is due to the skill and care with which honey is produced and marketed. Honey can readily be ruined by carelessness and indifference on the part of the bee-. keeper. _ The honey gathered trom various flowers has all the difference in the world in flavor and eating quality. For example, honey from dandelion is so strong and yellow as only to be fit for bee feed. Honey from tobacco plants, which yield nectar abundantly, tastes ot the tobacco. Buckwheat yields a heavy, dark, strong-flavored honey which many people like; others do not. Some southern flowers yield a dark honey of exceedingly fine fla- vor. Goldenrod yields a beautiful golden honey of fine flavor, somewhat stronger than the lighter honeys. Honey trom horsemint carries a de- cidedly minty flavor. i The scarf ot this season is wound closely about the throat and the istreamers usually hang down in the lback rather than in front. You see, you can't always judge honey by color alone. The clovers, inter-mountain alfalfa, white, sweet white, and sweet yellow, basswood and raspberry, and the Cali- fornia white sage, as well as orange are the finest honeys produced in the whole world. . . Every locality where honey is.pro- duced has its. own 'Ibest" product, which the people of that community have learned to relish, whether the honey be light or dark, mild or stronger-flavored. Such honey. it produced under favorable conditions, is good honey, regardless of color. One good method of cleaning the floor mop is to 'brush it well with a whisk broom.
