Copper kettles may be cleaned by rubbing all over with a cut lemon clipped in salt, then rinsing thoroughly with clear water and polishing with a soft cloth or, chamois.

The Only Lasting Way

If your kitchen wall is painted, never have it painted again with- out first removing all grease and dirt with soap, water ‘and amonia. Otherwise the paint will not ad- ~ here and in a very short time the

‘peeling process will begin.

Discarded House Dresses

It is nearly always the waist of the house dress that wears out first, leaving a perfectly good skirt These skirts may be utilized bycut- ting them into good sized aprons for kitchen wear or cutting into strips to form colorful interest in the hand crocheted rag rug.

Blachkened Hands Kerosene will clean your hands better than anything else after backing u stove. Pour a. little in the water wash your hands in it and then wash with white soap and a brush. The kerosene will loosen the grease so it is readily . Washed out. Finish by using a. hand lotion to keep the hands soft. Dry Towels If you send your laundry out and the price is governed by the weight of the bundle, never at the 48st minute tuck those damp tow- els into the bag thinking they will be washed so soon it will not mat’- ter. It probably will not matter as far as midew is concerned but the bundle will weigh far heavier than if the towels are dried out first. Save those damn ones for ..next Week.

ERACEFUL NECK

A Graceful neck—smooth and White with no lump at the back --is one of the first requlgltgg o; charm and beauty. The woman who holds her head high with (Jun up--not pulled in or thrust forward-looks well in any type of ‘dress and has self-assurance that, Lmakes others conscious of her charm and poise,

muscles will become cramped Ind uncomfortable, causing aches and pains in the beck of your neck. As you undoubtedly know, an aching neck can spoil the nicest kind of disposition, not to mention the frown lines and worried look that go with it. - . “PULLINGW IIEAD.

To alleviate a curve and the lump which detracts from your appearance, get into the habit of

holding your head as though you were being pulled upward. Stand with arms at your sides and make believe a. wire, fastened to the ceiling. is tied to a lock of hair in the centre of your head. Imagine‘ that the wire is pulling your head un. up. up. If necessary, place your hands just behind your ears and Iet them share the work of the imaginary wire. If you do this cor- rectly, your neck will straighten out and the little lump . will dis- a pear»

pAftcrward, sit in a straight chair and do this exercise, especially originated by a posture authority to cure bad carriage above the shoulders, get rid of a lump on the back of the neck and prevent a double chin.

REPEAT THIS EXERCISE

First, completely relax the neck, letting your head drop forward BS far as possible. Then slowly push your chin out in front until each muscle in your neck feels stretched. Now—stili slowly—keeping the chin at exactly the same level, pull the chin back to normal position. Again imagine, that your head is being lifted from behind the ears. Repeat the exert‘ : several times a day. remembering always that the more slowly you do it, the more benefit you will derive. If you are serious about having a lovely neck, better sleep without a pillow and choose clothes which have no back-of-the-neck trimming which tends to make you walk with your head thrust forward.

Gored and flared daytime coats are most popular this fall. Many are belted with stitched bands of self material or with neat cord- ing. Persian lamb, beaver and caracul collars that may be worn up or down trim most- of them.

TASTE AND HABIT ARE CLOSELY ALLIED

What would you think of a fish and banana boiled dinner? Natives of the tropics consider it the dernior cri of delicacy. They call the large, "vegetable variety of banana "plants. ."

All of which establishes the point that taste is habit. When tomatoes, or "ioveapples." were

first discovered to be useful food, nobody would touch them. A lady may as well have served frfcas- seed rattlesnake to her guests, or ragweed en casserole, because palates turned ‘against the strange spicy tang of the new guastable.

COD LIVER OIL PROBLEM

, __._. A young mother said recently: I dread starting the baby's cod- liver oil in the fall. She never did like it and now that I've stopped for the summer it's going to be a battle next month to get it inside her."

“How do you give it?"

"I used to put it in her bottle or mix it with her cereal. She would take it that way. When I gave it to her on a spoon she fought so and then spit ‘it right out. Finally I got her accustomed to it the other way Ind she'd eat up everything. But now it's all to do over."

But when the problem comes up of a young couple marrying on a shoestring, the question is: Can they take it? fight out hard times together? Have they the nerve to make sacrifices? Are they capable of a passion that can make them say, and mean it: "All for love and the world well lost?"

If they can, well and good, and blessings will follow their marriage But if they can't take it, if their love isn't strong enough to stand the battering of fate, then they will be more miserable together than they would be apart, for each will blame the other for their common mis- fortune.
