Little David—Say, Dad, what kind of things are ancestors? Dad—Well, son, that means your relations that have gone before you. I’m one, and your grand-dad is an other.

Thicker batters require a little more stirring than thinner ones, but no beating. * * * Broiled tomato slices not only decorate but also improve the fla vor of steak or chops. * * * If you have over-salted the soup, peel a potato and put several slices into the soup. Boil it for a few minutes and the potato will ab sorb the salt. * * • Never use water that has beea boiled before or has been standing in the kettle to make tea. Draw fresh cold water and let it boil for the first time. Water that has boiled before tastes flat, because the air has gone out of it. * * * A layer or two of blotting paper put over grease spots on the wall, and a warm iron laid on top of them, will often take away the marks.
