Rub off with a cloth or flannel dipped in the soda, then press the wrong side Of the fabric with a hot iron. The worst spots of grease may be removed by applying a few drops of eucatyptus oil and rubbing slightly. There is no danger of injuring the most delicate fabrics as the oil will all evaporate and leave not the slightest trace. An application of French chalk or tai cum powder will help to hasten the process. To remove paint from any material rub it with equal parts of turpentine and ammonia.

You can remove match marks by rubbing with a piece of lemon. Stains may be removed by using ether and it will leave no ring on. the material. The, Workbag A unique table runner, easy to make, the ends decidedly curved off. use a fringe that matches the material used in the runner or that matches a note of color in the embroidery.

Above the fringe embroider a bold design in a deep rich shade, rather than a pale, insipid pastel shade. A clever idea in runners is that of embroidering the ends upon separate material, making, as it were, an embroidered band. This is made in a darker or lighter color than the "runner itself, and is then applied to the runner in some sort of fancy stitch. It is very striking and effective and different from the average table cover. When Excessive perspiration of the.

Lady Nurse, who attended me through a severe illness, used to cut my toast in tiny squares, lay them close together in their original shape, then drop the poached egg on top.

It relieved me of the struggle I had always had in trying to cut the toast with a fork while lying in bed which everyone knows is not easy. Spinach, that "broom of the stomach" as nurse calls it, is particularly valuable for women who are all run down as it is rich in iron. To eat this vegetable once or twice a day means taking iron in a natural way nstead of in the form of a drug. Raw, ripe tomatoes are a remedy for biliousness, and will be far better for the stomach than oalomel and other drugs which are often put into it to cure dizzy spells and kindred ills. The tomatoes should be eaten with the addition of salt and pepper only, neither oil or vinegar.

In fact some people consider tomatoes are far from improved by the addition of vinegar and prefer them without. THE HIGH COST 1 -1 By ETeai. w.ri, pert Copyright, 1913. by The Press Pub. Co.

Dogs, cats, chSckena, mice and rab- bits by their depredations endanger the success of the backyard garden. Birds "I Kill a V- 1-1 Ul A- will lniura fruit- These obstacles that add themselves to the natural plant diseases and insects, which are innumerable. The animals and fowls must be kept within their proper places or the garden plot enclosed in a stout wire, fence. Dogs and cats by walking across and laying in newly planted soil disturb the seeds and work injury. Chickens will scratch out the.

seeds and make a crop impossible. Moles may be active on sandy soil, but can be located by their burrows. Usually stamping on these will kill the pests. Several traps arc on the market that are more or less successful. The diseases of parasitic fungi, that is growth of the lowest order of plant life, which lives on the useful plants and deprives them of their acquired food, are dangerous.

When permitted to spread these parasites eat up all the-new growth and leaves become dead and drop off, until th plants proper finally succumb. Bordeaux mixture, already explained, is a remedy for many of these evils, with paris green as another means for protecting certain plants. So many diseases have plants that many of them are still puzzles to the and no remedies have yet been found for them. When they have been classified and remedies for them discovered yields will be greatly increased. But, thanks to the great work already accomplished by the experts, we are able to get much better crops today than were growers only SO years back.

A recital of all the diseases and dangers that beset plants would only discourage the beginner. Many of the most successful market gardeners are not familiar with all them, yet they continue to get good crops year after vyear. The best thing for the beginner to do is to watch the growth of his plants carefully and inspect their foliage regularly. As soon as any blight appears consult the list of vegetables and their simple remediese which appeared in this series. Your Boys and Girls The Americans are often severely criticised by foreigners for their lack of control over their youngsters.

A great variety of materials might be suggested and they would all be appropriate, but in i.e illustration, chiffon taffeta is shown on the figure, crepe de chine with lace is shown in the small view and one of the pretty silk and cotton voiles la shown with the high neck blouse and-preferably the yoke would be of all-over lace or net.
