'For Anything How to get the most out of cut flowers is g subject that has long interested housewives, 'The use of aspirin or syrup for certain 'types of flowers has occasionally been recommended by florists, but eom- plete directions for all types have been hard to acquire. Now, how. ever, the, Michigan Agricultural Station has 'been making & study of the entire subject, and has fis- sued a bulletin which will be help- ful to many. It says: Charcoal, salt, formaldehyde, am- monie or sulphurous acid, ' when added in very small quantities, help kéep the containers clean and prevent detrimental bacterial ac- tion, - Usually the 'period of pro~ longed life is not great. In a few cases certain chemicals have been found to be helpful. Bor- ic acid, one-half teaspoonful to two quarts of water used with ecarna~ tions increased the keeping quali- ties two or three days. One-half tablet of aspirin to two quarts of water was helpful in prolonging the lite of chrysanthemums and dah- as, potassium' permanganate one- tenth of one. per cent. was also helpful. The keeping quality of as- ters was prolonged for several days through the use of one teaspoonful of cane syrupy to a quart of water. Hollyhocks dipped in a solution of one-tenth of one per cent. nitric acid kept well, while: dahlias have been benefitted by using one-tenth of one per cent. potassium nitrate solution. Cut flowers wilt because water evaporates from the foliage, stems and blooms faster than it is absorb- ed. At ordinary room temperature bacteria multiply readily in the water, attack the tissues of the stems, clog the conducting vessels The Women's Corner the Homemaker and of Interest to the H and prevent the free ascent of mois- ture to the foliage and flowers, None of the chemical solution: referred to above will be helpful it the ordinary practices which are in daily use by those who handle cut flowers are neglected; these may be summarized as follows: ut flowers early in the morus ing before the sun has evaporated the moisture from stems and blooms, use a sharp knife, as rag- ged ends prevent quick absorption of water and encourage harmful bacteria action. Plunge stems in éold water up to the base of the flower so that the stems and blooms will be full of water before they are arranged' in the vase, i Experience teaches that gladioll are best for cutting when the first floret is opened; peonies, when the petals are unfolding. roses, beforé the buds open; dahlias, when fully opened, poppies the night beforw they open. Cut flowers will keep best in oom with a humid temperature. The drier and warmer the air, the shorter will be the life of the flow- ers. Temperature is also an im- portant factor. Many flowers will keep well at 456 degrees Fahren- heit. If kept cooler than that the lasting quality is Improved. Vases with wide necks which allow the air to circulate through the top are preferred to narrow necked con- tainers, The base of the stems should be cut daily, making a slanting cut to prevent stem ends from resting squarely on the bottom of the con- tainer. Leaves should not be sub- merged, because they soon fer- ment and foul the water. Helpful Hints for Harassed Housewives When buying material for new sheets for the house besides allow~ ig for the turning of hems, never forget to provide for a certain am- ount + of shrinkage. Laboratory tests made on sheets nine feet long show an average shrinkage of near- ly five feet in length, which added to the hem, reduces the length of the sheet by about ten inches. How- ever, these tests also showed aun increase in width. When {ironing on a table place two or three sheets of newspaper between .the ironing sheet and the blanket and your ironing sheet will not. rub up. Mothers will find that the baby's bottle of milk will keep warm to the last drop if one of baby's little woolen stockings is pulled up over the bottle. It hag been stated that the sub- stance in natural foods which pre- vents scurvy is the most easily de- stroyed constituent in our diet, and most cooked. foods, as well as those which have been. sterilized by can- ning, or even subjected to the less- er degree of heat necessary for pas teurization will be lacking in the dietary essentials, There are prob- ably a very few foods which can be heated or dried without complete loss of this substance. The tomate appears to be one of these. very home should have a first- aid box, which should be of tin, preferrably white within and with- out, and with an air-tight lid. It 'should contain compressed packets 'of boracic lint, three finger bana- ages an inch wide, and thrée two inches wide, and one large banu- age four. inches wide. A bottle of tincture of iodine, a bottle of witch hazel, some boracic acid powder or crystals, a small tin of boracic oint ment, a jar of vaseline and a bottle ot carron oil should also be in tne n. Don't keep this array of bottles or jars out on view on window sills and shelves in the bathroom. An inexpensive medicine cabinet will take care of these bottles and prove just as convenient as when exposed to view. . CHEESE BOXES Cut bread into about two-inch squares. Cut out centre; just leave wall enough to hold together, But~ ter. hoxes of bread; use what bread is taken from the centre rubbed fine to mix with grated cheese, salt, pepper, dash of cayenne, one or two, eggs, well beaten, and either toma- toes nr milk to make moist enough to hold together. Fill mixture into boxes of bread; dot with butter. Bake fifteen minutes or twenty in moderate oven. wind. them with adhesive tape, and brush over with shellac.

The president, Miss B. Galt, convened the meeting. The meeting was called to order and the minutes of the previous meeting were read, The business of the Circle was then discusesd, which included a comprehensive survey of the meetings until June.

At this juncture Miss Clara Hin- man took charge of the meeting. This was primarily a work meet- ing so the girls gathered around a large table and made hospital supplies. These supplies are to be sent to India. WIDOW TO RECEIVE ONE HALF ESTATE Toronto, Mar. 28: -- The Legal Bills Committee of the Ontario Legislature today reported a bill to amend the Devolution of Estates Act subject to further investiga- tion by Government officers. The Bill provides that in an estate where there is only one child, the personal property of a person dy- ing estate shall be distributed' one half to the widow and one half to the child. Under the present act, the widow receives a third and the the child two-thirds. Alan Dyment, law clerk, said the bill opened up the whole question of the wife's moral rights and if it was put on the statute books as it stood at present, the Legislature would be 'hacking' at the question instead of dealing with it properly. : d ess © Lp, IA mest. to prevent appin lovely to look at. IY n Balm a a AS AN NVESTIGATOR Vancouver, B.C., March 28--J. But- terfield in the Province writes geni- ally concerning a letter received from some one who objected to the ap- pointment of a Conservative lady to the new. post of "special invesigator into the living conditions of ' girl teachers in isolated places." "I sug- gest," he says, "that it is an impolitic thing to appoint any one at all for this work whether she be Conserva- tive, Liberal or Non-confofmist, For a woman in an official position is a woman filled with the urge to re- form, and a woman with the urge to reform inevitably ends up as one who dictates' certain courses rather than as one who advises them. "And here it occurs to me to asks quite seriously whether the girl teachers in isolated districts--or any 'other districts--desire to haye their living conditions investigated.

This is not a joke, it is true! "A very much better way to. settle the slight difficulty of the teacher in isolated districts in a free country would be to send male teachers tc such places. In any case it is a sup- portable theory that the girl teaches is on the whole far safer in an iso lated district than she is in a city." time on washda work they par perhaps is in the house And she won't be change-- 'Women have become too progres- sive to be satisfied with out-of-date methods and ideas.
