Wash old and good lace by dipping it up and down in warm soapsuds and rubbing It very gently in the hands, and then, after it has been rinsed in warm water it may be dried within the folds of a soft towel. Now that the schools are open again the lunch box comes in for its dailj consideration. Unless some originality is employed, the eternal sameness cloys upon .the appetite and the children soon care nothing about eating that which is provided. While in a store one will notice the new parafRined cups usually employed for jelly, and they can be very useful in a lunch box. They are exceedingly cheap, can be cleaned and used over and over, are light as a trifle and can be had in any size from an eighth of a pint to a quart. In these can be carried salad, canned or stewed fruit, cooked vegetables, cottage cheese, cream or milk. A full set of sizes with fitted lids would not cost as much as a quarter. Corn meal gems are appropriate for these cool mornings. Sift or stir well together one cup of corn mea.', one cup of flour, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, three level teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one of salt; then add one well-beaten egg. li cups milk and one tablespoonful of melted butter. Bake in hot buttered gem pans twenty minutes or half an hour, according to heat of oven. Water may be used if milk is not to be had, and good fat or dripping instead of butter. Try these for a change from biscuits. " Prepared celery salt is expensive when one compares it with the cost at which it can be made at home. Get 10 cents' worth of celery seed and grind It quite fine, like black pepper; then mix with it fine table salt. About ten parts of salt to one of celery. Put in small bottles and cork well; you will find It one of the best flavorings foi soups, meats and stews. Do not rinse pink garments in bluing water if you wish to keep them a clear pink, but rinse in clear water to which a handful of salt has been added. Keep a shallow pan of water on every stove or radiator. See that the hot-air furnace has water pans with ?* ?? xm ..nK MAom^ with f raoh air WttlCI . nuou i Wilis n*vt* ?? vw?? M*> during every recess. While it is far better than no ventilation, one of the poorest ways to get fresh air into one of these shut-in places is to raise, or lower a window now and then for a few minutes. In the first place, this doesn't ventilate much, and again it does cause drafts, which are always more or less risky; but it is better than no ventilation at all. A coal box is an adaptation to coal hold three scuttles of coal, with provision underneath for kindling. In most families is a man or boy who will fill the box as a morning chore, thus saving much labor to the woman. Put this box at the side of the stove, and while It is not at all in the way, it affords an excellent seat while stirring gravies or sauces or other food that needs watching on the stove. It will give much satisfaction. What is known as spar varnish, which is used on marble woodwork, is advised for kitchen use, because it is not affected by moisture and will thus repel all kinds of spattering. To freshen a fur piece that has become flat and lifeless, brush it the wrong way with a moist hair brush, continuing this until the fur is entirely dried out again, then beat lightly with a flat beater, never with a rod. Light-colored furs are often benefitted by rubbing very thoroughly with dry com meal, rubbed well In, then carefully brushed and beaten out. A little coal oil in mopping the linoleum leaves a brighter finish. Sweet milk, hot, applied to eczema, will give immediate relief. Chlldrens' sores may be readily healed by an application or two of salty water. To clean a water bottle or decanter that looks muddy or dingy inside, cut up bits of raw potato, put into the bottle with some warm water, shake for a short time, and all dinginess is re moved. Empty this out and rinse in clear water. After the clothes are dry. let them hang on the line overnight?starched pieces as well as the unstarched, take off the line early, or before the sun shines on them, roll up tightly and they are ready for ironing without any sprinkling whatever. The best method of making vinegar from apples is to press out the juice as in cider making and then add mother of vinegar in order to start fermentation. Keep the vinegar at as nearly 90 degrees as possible and expose it to the air. Fermentation will then take place much more rapidly. The cider standing in barrels will require about nine months to attain a per centage of acid Content that will make good vinegar. The Federal law requires vinegar to have more than 4 per cent of acid. With apples it very seldom runs above 7 per cent even when the most fa orable conditions are present. By home processes it usually is about 5J per cent total acid content. All the apple parings and cores can be used for vinegar making by keeping the jar in a warm place by the kitchen range. Add a little mother to start the fermentation. Cantaloupes can also be made Into splendid vinegar by employing the same methods. Those who prefer to set bread in the morning rather than overnight will be delighted with the quick work and delicious bread resulting from the use of this soft yeast, which is made up in small quantities: Pare and grate four large raw potatoes and sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one heaping teaspoonfu! of salt. Place in a granite dish and pour over the mixture one quart of boiling water. Allow this to cook about fifteen minutes over a moderate heat, then set aside to cool. When lukewarm add a fresh compressed yeast cake, which has been dissolved in a little warm water. In twenty-four hours the soft yeast is ready for use, and at that time add one tablespoonful of salt, turn into a crock, cover with a plate, and set away in a cold place. Use one cup of this yeast, after stirring well, to every one quart of water used in making the sponge, which is mixed in the usual way. Leave one cupful in the crock each time as a starter for another batch of yeast, made as directed, except that the cupful of stock yeast is used after the first starting, instead of the compressed yeast cake. *' The daily output in Washington of parcel post stamps is 10.000,000.
