NEWS FOR THE
HOME-MAKER
(By Lucy Martin, County Home
Demonstration Agent.)
Repairing Furniture.
If a bruise on furniture is shallow
the depression may be raised by the
application of heat and water.
Drop a little water in to the de
pression using the tip of the finger.
Then lay a damp blotter or piece of
felt over it. Place a marble or the
round end of a thimble on the blotter
directly over the dent and press it
into the cavity with a moderately hot
flat iron. Keep the iron in a position
which causes the steam to penetrate
into the wood fiber below. The wood
cells will slowly swell and the inden
tion grow less and less.
When the bottom of the defect
omes up to the main surfice, sprin
■-!e a few drops of oil on the damag
ed surface, add a small pinch of FF
lumic powder, then lightly rub the
fine oil-mixed grit with a piece of
'elt until the abraded varnish has
?en freshened up and appears uni
form with the remainder of the sur
face.
Be careful not to rub hard enough
o cut through the original finish.
Very little rubbing is needed, often
less than ten light strokes.
Should any white show around or
; n the bruise, mix a little stain with
shellac varnish to match the finish.
A thin application of this will dry in
’ess than an hour. Then another coat
hould be added to give body to the
surface. Rub the new film lightly
with felt until it matches the origi
nal finish.
Varied Jellies.
For both variety and economy in
home jelly-making, fruits may often
be used in combination to good ad
vantage. Crabapple and grape jelly
or crabapple and quince are good
mixtures. Because apple juice is rich j
in jellying power but mild in taste, |
it blends well with many different
fruits and will take on other flavors. |
For mint jelly, light-colored apples :
with no red tint will take on an at
tractive pale-green tint by the addi-I
tion of a small amount of green veg
etable coloring. Either peppermint
extract or oil of peppermint will give
the flavor. The disadvantage of using
fresh mint leaves is that they tend
to darken in storage and spoil the
color of the jelly. An old-fashioned
flavoring for apple jelly is geranium.
Wash leaves of either rose or pine
apple geranium and crush one leaf in
each glass as it is filled with the hot
jelly.

At Eight O’Clock

mVTOUR husband is a very sick man.
* Mrs. Elliott,” Doctor Drummond
had said, "these white pills I am leav
ing are powerful stuff, setting up a
poisonous reaction that is counter
acted by the eight o’clock medicine. 1
want to Impress upon you the extrem<
importance of being on time; wlthou
the dark pill the action of the whit
ones would be fatal.”
When he had gone, the whispering?
began, ceaseless and Insidious.
“Here is your chance,” they told Hes
ter Elliott, "your way out. Forget the
pill at eight o’clock. ... No one will
know. . . . And you’ll be free. . . . Fre<
to live.”
Hester, no longer young, but aged
beyond her years by the constant, re
lentless cruelty; the battling down of
all of her Individual life; the sapping
of her spiritual vitality, by the man
who now lay ill, at her mercy.
She looked at him lying there, ugly
and cruel, how she wished he were
dead.
“But he will live,” her bitter thoughts i
told her, “I shall give him his medicine
on time. I’ll never know how blessed '
life might be.”
She shuddered and dropped her
head in her hands.
“God, let me forget the time,” she
prayed.
Twenty-six years of living as Bert I
Elliott’s wife, of bearing his children,
keeping his house, existing as the
automaton he demanded her to be.
All that she loved he had taken
away; little things and big. Why did
the memory persist so strongly, of the
kittens —little fuzzy, adorable bundles
of fur and round eyes and pointed
ears?
Did he have to kill them in such a
cruel way, growling that they were a
nuisance, crushing them half dead be
neath his heavy heel, leaving tier to
the shuddering task she must, in j
mercy, finish?
Did he have to shut his door againsi !

all pretense; he did not really care
he only wanted to be cruel and arbi
trary.
That was four years ago. Hester had
only seen little Kenneth twice, each
time In dire fear of Bert’s wratn.
baby girl, six months old now, shi
had never seen.
She smoothed Bert’s pillow, gave hin I
the fifth white pill.
She visioned her life without hlm
peaceful, well-ordered, happy. Rai"’ j
could come back home and run the |
farm. She had not seen him to talk
to since he was twelve years old. His j
father had beaten him that day with :
more than usual ferocity and he had [
left in the night.
Hester had never considered di- I
vorce. She had scruples against It. I
Scruples against divorce and praying
God to help her kill her husband, i
Again the wild laughter welled up
and was suppressed.
Yes, Ralph could come back. She
could go to church on Sunday, teach
a class of little girls. How she had
always wanted to do that! She could
write letters when she wanted to;
could plant flowers and love them,
knowing that each year they would
he coming up In their accustomed
places; no unexpected spading up. no
ruining, in half an hour, what had
taken two years to grow.
What was right and what was
wrong? Where did duty lie? Was it
not her duty to help her son, to give
herself a normal life, to know her
grandchildren? Why did duty have to
lie solely with the man she had mar
ried? It was two minutes to eight.
She lay in her little rocking chair,
completely relaxing her tired body,
her tense nerves. She closed her eyes
and prayed without words. An agon
ized reaching out to the power that
rules the universe, “Dear God, teach
me what to do.”
Only a minute; but when she opened
her eyes again she futile miseries and
perplexities of her daily life had
slipped into their proper proportions.
She, who had no power to create life,
had no right to take it. She knew
what she had to do.
With a steady hand she filled a
glass half full of cold water, just as
steadily she slipped the dark pill into
it. Dissolving instantly, it colored the
water a ruby red. She put her arm j
beneath the pillow, lifted her hus
band a little and held the glass to
his lips.
“Drink, Bert,” she said, softly.
He opened his eyes and glared at
her, his mouth set in the cruel curves
she knew so well. He raised his
clenched fist in the sudden frenzied
strength of rage and smashed the
glass In her hand.
"Darn you,” he snarled, "want to
poison me? Where’s my white pill?”
Hester stood very still, her eyes go
ing from his hate-distorted face to the j
fragments of glass on the floor. Her
hands were clasped tightly over her
heart, in a familiar gesture, and deep
in that heart she was saying to God, |
“I thank you . . . Oh, I thank |
you 1”

Cravey Offers Reward
For Game Violations
Georgia’s quail crop for the coming
season is the largest that the state
has experienced in ten years, accord
ing to Zack D. Cravey, state game
and fish commissioner.
Fewer reports of illegal killing of
quail have reached the department
of game and fish than last season,
however, seven arrests have been
made for this offense. In a drive to
reduce illegal killing of quail early
in the season all field representatives
of the department were issued strict
orders to inspect the game bags of
every squirrel and rabbit hunter. This
move has greatly reduced the num
ber of violations but announcement
made by the commissioner today indi
cates that the heat will be turned on
still stronger in the attempt to wipe
out illegal killing and bootlegging of
Georgia’s fine game bird, the Bob
White quail.
A reward of $25 will be paid any
person or persons furnishing the de
partment of game and fish or any of
its representatives with evidence or
information sufficient to convict any
violators on the charges of pre-sea
son shooting or selling of quail.
Members of local conservation
clubs are asked to assist in any way
possible in the protection of this
game supply.
Attention is called to the state law
prohibiting the sale of quail. This
prohibits it being served by hotels
and restaurants.
“Every game protector of the de
partment will work untiringly in the
interest of preserving this game for
the lawful sportsman of Georgia,”
says Commissioner Cravey.
