Hints Stockings will look new longer if from the first washing, a little mild dye is added to the rinse water. * % ¥ Kerosene is useful for cleaning polished woods that would be injured by alkalies. * * Powdered alum sprinkled in the crevices of upholstered furiture will exterminate moths. To clean oil cloth, wash it with water and wipe dry with a clean cloth. ; * * To keep milk cool in hot weather place the bottle containing it in the centre of an earthen flower pot and the flower pot in a tin pan nearly full of water. * % % Cover greasc spots on wood or stone with flour, starch or powdered chalk which will absorb the grease. Pouring cold water on it as soon as it is spilled will harden it and the greater part may then be scraped off. * * In case you have no flowers to make the centrepiece for your din- ingroom table, don't forget the pic- torial quality of fruits. A low bas- ket of shiny red apples, yellow pears and clusters of grapes is a delight to the eye as well as to the palate. x Xx % "To mend kid gloves buttonhole around the edge of the tear before drawing together. Then oversew the buttonhole together and the repair is substantial. Xx % . To keep doughnuts from absorb- ing too much fat, add one-fourth teaspoonful of ground ginger. Tt will make the doughnuts a delicious flavor. x ¥ % CREAM OF CELERY SOUP One cup celery top, V5 cup chop- ped celery, 2 slices . onion, ¥ cup rice, salt, pepper, 3 cups boiling water 12 cups hot milk, 1 dessert- spoon butter.

Children will fret, often for no apparent reason. But there's al- ways one sure way to comfort a restless, fretful child. Castorial Harmless as the ecige on the wrapper; mild and bland as it tastes. But its gentle action soothes a youngster more surely than some powerful medicine that is meant for the stronger systems of adults. That's the beauty of this special children's remedy! It may be given the tiniest infant--as often as there is any need. In cases of colic, diarrhea, or similar disturb- ance, it is invaluable. But it has everyday uses all mothers should understand. A coated tongue calls for a few drops to ward off consti- Jaton; so does any suggestion of d breath. Whenever children don't eat well, don't rest well, or have any little upset--this pure vegetable preparation is usually all that's needed to set everything to rights. Genuine Castoria has Chas. H. Fletcher's signature on the wrapper. Doctors prescribe it. Sam (1) A charming printed velvet for afternoon wear, the skirt fashioned in three pleated frills and the bodice in bolero effect.

'The Women's Corner For Anything of Interest to the Homemaker and the Housekeeper Many choice melons are at their best when served with lemon. Smart hotels always accompany these mel- ons with lemon, for the acid of the fruit brings out the flavor of the melon. One-sixth of a lemon usu- ally is sufficient for one-half of a melon. SERVING WATERMELON A dainty way of, serving a water- melon is to cyt the red meat into two-inch squares, taking out all the seeds without breaking the pieces too much, Place the pieces in glass fruit jars, screw on the tops and place in the refrigerator to thoroughly chill. Serve the melon on green leaves on dainty plates. MELON WITH FISH Melon cubes, marinaded with a French dressing, and served on dain- ty lettuce leaves make a most excel- lent accompaniment to fish. MELON WATER ICE A perfectly ripe and rich red watermelon is called for to make this pretty dish. Remove the seeds, cut off the rind and chop the flesh with one-fourth its volume of sugar Freeze the same as any other mix- ture, keeping it well stirred up from the bottom to distribute equally the liquid and the pulp. When half froz- en a half cupful of sultana raisins, first plumped in the oven, may be scattered through to simulate the melon seeds. If an extra light and spongy ice is desired the stiffly beat- en whites of three eggs may be beat en into the mixture as soon as it is of a "mushy" consistency. Whether with 'or without the egg-whites a water- melon ice will be found beautiful to look at, and deliciously refreshing to the taste--~American Cookery. CANNED MELON BALLS FOR COCKTAILS When melons ate cheapest, get a crate of cantaloupes. Have quart jars ready, Cut the melons in halves, re- moving all seed web. Using a fruit ball cutter, cut as many perfect balls as possible from each half-melon. Fill the jars, but do not crowd them. Pour over enough thin syrup to cover the balls, filling the jar to about one inch from the top. If the jars are too full, some of the syrup will boil out, while if the syrup does not cover the fruit the top balls will shrink. The beauty of fruit balls cooked or uncooked is their perfec- tion of shape. Adjust the lids and the rubbers and sterilize twenty min- utes in boiling water. Tighten the lids, cool and store.~Better Homes and Gardens, SWEET PICKLED WATER. MELON RIND One medium watermelon, 1 quart vinegar, 3 pounds brown sugar, 1 ounce of alum, 1 ounce of stick cin- namon, 4 ounce of whole cloves. Pare the rind of the. watermelon and cut into thick slices. Boil the alum in a gallon of water and pour over the sliced rind, letting it stand on the back of the stove for six-or seven hours. Drain the rind from the alum water and let it lie in cold water aintil cold, Drain, - Boil the sugar and vinegar to- gether, then strain; add the spices, the rind and the sugar, and boil all together until the rind is thoroughly solt, Peaches and pears can be pickled in the same way, but they do not require the same amount of spice as this would destroy the delicate flavor of these fruits, THE RAIN O hear it! It has come at last--the rain Tap-tapping, splashing on the win- dow pane, Surging and rushing down the iron roofs. Insistent, hoofs. The sound pervades the air; it ebbs and flows In tides of music as the north wind blows, Now murmuring and whispering, again Tempestuously beating on the pane, Rapping and pelting stormily--the rain! Beat down, beat down! Wash clean the dusty air! : Refresh, restore what once was green and fair, These parching paddocks! falling creek For pity of the cattle starved and weak, And patient sheep! fall, sweet rain! Sweep down the roofs and flood the window pane! The birds begin to twitter soft and sing, earth herself makes happy haste to bring Rich odors, incense of thank-offer- ing. --Ethel Martyr in the Sydney Bulletin. thunderous like beating Fill the Still fall, still And THE BURNED FARMHOUSE.

AUSTRALIAN MILL FIRES MARRIED WOMEN ON STAFF Melbourne, Australia, Sept. 13-- A large factory operating here and employing a large number of wom- en has dismissed all its married women employees and will not en- gage any others in future, accord- ing to F. J. Riley, secretary of the manufacturing Grocers' Union. Other firms are considering siml- lar action. "The original practice of the firm when shortening hands was to retain those longest in the serpy vice," said Mr. Riley. 'Some of ¢he married women had been working for many years and they were re- tained while single women were dismissed. This caused widespread dissatisfaction, and the company then decided to weed out all mar- ried women and to engage in fu- ture only single women. "In the manufacturing grocer in- dustry," added Mr. Riley, "the pro- portion of married women is the lowest of the industries employing women. The rate is less than three per cent. In other industries the rate is 13 per cent." The Question of employment of married women in factories is caus- ing wide discussion in Australia at present. OLD FASHIONED TRADING REVIVED New Bedford, Mass., Sept. 14.-- So succeseful has been the 10,000 trading venture of Captain John Correa, who returned a few days ago, that he is busy fitting out nis three master schooner Marion IL. Conrad for another cruise. The trading trip just ended took him to the mid-Atlantic islands ana the African coast and required eight months, Lumber, flour and other materi- als made up the trader's cargo, which will be broadened for the second trip. The venture markeua a revival of a business which diea out in American shipping circles more than half a century ago. In less than a half dozen ports Captain Correa sold his entire car- go, and the natives placed large orders with him for his return voy- age. He expects to sail again in October. Captain Correa found Germany far ahead of the United States in the buisness of bartering with the natives of Fogo, Cape Verde .lsl- ands, Porto and other ports which the regular freighters fail to visit. Up-to-date steamers sail from Ger- man ports with huge eargoes. Their materials are cheap and unsatisfac- tory and American goods, when they can be obtained are in great The difficulty of the German ships is great, Capt. Correa said. For instance, the Con~ rad was 36 days out from Cape Cerde Islands to New Bedford, be- calmed most of the time. The Conrad will be overhauled at Bos- ton before settling out on her sec- ond voyage. Captain Correa said he intended to expand his business with steam vessels and agents In various ports. Harry R. Nichols, who sailed away with the Conrad a sick man, was perhaps the most enthusiastic over the voyage. He returned a picture of health and vigor. SUMMER FANCIES I saw the wings of the wind today, All rose and amber and blue; And they brushed me in passing with; "Whoo-whoo-whoo! 0 little Brown You, Whoo-whoo!"" I saw the eves of the sun today Laughing with skies of blue; They crinkled and winked at me; "Whoo-whoo-whoo! It's jolly up here, Brown You!" I saw the cover of night come down; White beach and a lake of blue Lay closer and called: "0 sleep Brown You! Come cuddle in under, Oh, do!" "What did you say when you proposed to Muriel?" "I told her the truth, TI said: -- 'T am nothing, I have nothing, and I can do nothing."" "What did =he do?" "She did nothing." A ke dil 'AKE Pinkham's Phen- rin.

One is still advertsing at S. S. No. 5. Dalton, offering 2 salary of $600 per year. What sort of a teacher ig expected to work for that amount? Taken on a yearly basis it is less than $12 a week. Can trustees expect a per- son to pass through public school, collegiate and normal, pay trans. portation to that point and' then work for $600 a year? It's about time trustees woke up to the fact that in order to get a good teache er it is necessary to offer a de- cent salary. VANCOUVER'S MILLIONATRES (Vancouver Sun) The Vancouver Sun recently aie- covered that there are more than 80 Vancouver resident and Vancou- ver made millionaires. Now the Labor Statesman rises in its right- eous' wrath to denounce these 80 millionaires ag parasites and as oppressors of the poor. The Labor Statesman contributes many useiut thoughts to the people of this city. But its present cynical wallop at Vancouver's millionaires is neither useful nor sensible. In the present construction of the industrial strue- ture, what would the workers do without millionaires? Half-a-dozen young men hound | for New York had chummed up on the liner. When about half-way across, one of them gave a party. Champagne flowed freely, and was largely partaken of by the host, Green. The next morning one of the par- ty was on deck early. "Mr. Green would vou, sir," said the man. in hig eabin." The other found Green with a wet towel around his head. "Hullo, old chap, how are you?" he asked. ' "Oh, I'm--I'm all right," was Green's reply. "I remember nearly everything that happened last night, but one thing puzzles me, who paid for the taxi?" like to see '""He's stig BAREFOOT My black shoes go a careful way A modest way and neat, With every otherbody's shoes Along a proper street; My black shoes go a careful way, A dull way and discreet.
