FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER
SOME SUGGESTIONS THAT ARE
WORTH CONSIDERATION.
Proper Serving of Summer Fruit—Ex
tension Cover for Cooking Pot—
Wire Rack the Best Thing for
the Pot Lids.
Even though melons are served in
the simplest manner their appearance
should be attractive. This is an excel
lent way to prepare an entire water
melon:
Hold the melon lengthwise toward
you. Insert the knife near the top and
cut diagonally downward toward the
other end. leaving four or five inches
as a base. Three inches to the left of
the point where the knife Is first in
serted cut again, this time diagonally
toward the far end of the first line of
cut, thus making a pointed tongue. Con
tinue to cut up and down in this man
ner until the melon is cut completely
around, when two equal sets of points
will result, and these jagged halves of
the melon can easily be pulled apart.
To cut baskets of cantaloupe: Tie a
string around the melon so that the
haff may be plainly marked. Then
from one end cut a strip both ways
an inch wide to the strings to form a
handle. Remove the side sections and
cut the sweet pulp carefully so that it
will be a dainty bit. And from the
baskets thus formed take the seeds
and thread Place the baskets and
pulp separately on ice, and when ready
to serve fill the hollow with the pulp,
with the addition of ginger sirup.
Whipped cream or ice cream can be
used to fill the melon basket and a
ribbon may be tied around the whole
or knotted on the handle.
When the cooler weather comes we
will commence to use more fried and
grease-spattering foods. An excellent
cover has just been put on the mar
ket, which is adjustable to almost any
size pot or pan. It is made of good
tin, in a cone shap?, and looks like a
gigantic candle snuffer. It is so made
that this cone can be made flat for a
wide pan or higher for a smaller dish;
one cover doing for several pots.
The high, cone-shaped top keeps odors
In and is very much better for frying
purposes than the usual flat tin cover.
Its price is only 25 cents.
One of the season's novelties is a
little fruit cutter which will scallop
the edges of grapefruit, orange or cu
cumber. It consists of a small wooden
board with knife-like parts so ar
ranged that when the fruit is rotated
over the board scallops arc easily cut.
This device costs 50 cents and is ex
cellent for decorating the edges of
fruit, and especially for making cu
cumber baskets.
A very simple and useful article in
many kitchens and pantries is a new
rack for pot lids. This consists of
a narrow strip of pins with loops of
wire of varying diameters into which
lids of different sizes can be slipped.
The rack is made to hang on a wail
and can be folded up flat when not in
use. Although it is better to keep a
lid near the pot to which it belongs,
this rack may be useful to many house
wives to keed a number of lids which
are ordinarily poked into a deep
drawer —the most inefficient way of
keeping them. In retinned wire it
costs 50 cents.
Soft Soap.
Use three-quarters pound of potash
for every pound of grease. Soak the
potash in cold water overnight, and
next day boil It until the potash dis
solves, then while still boiling hot
pour it over the grease, which has
been placed in the receptacles In
which you intend to keep the soap.
Every day pour on more boiling wa
ter, according to the quantity of soap
being made, and stir thoroughly.
Twenty-five pounds of grease will
make about one barrel of soap. Pour
on a kettle of hot water each day until
It comes to the right consistency.
Maltre d'Hotel Butter.
Maitre d’hotel butter is an appetlz
ing addition to broiled fish, to beef
steak and to many sorts of vegetables.
It can be made and kept on hand in
a covered jar for a week and then
spread over the hot meat or vegetables
or fish when it is wanted.
To make It cream two tablespoon
fuls of butter—or more in proportion—
and add a tablespoonful of finely
chopped parsley, half a teaspoonful of
salt, half a saltspoonful of pepper and
then, drop bj - drop, a tablespoonful of
lemon Juice.
To Clean Jars.
Jars and pickle bottles that smell
of onions may be made sweet if filled
with garden mold and left standing
out of doors for two or three days.
When thoroughly washed they will be
found quite fresh, and may be used for
jam or any other purpose.
Grease Spots on Carpets.
If a little ammonia is poured into
warm water and applied to grease
spots on rugs or carpets it will remove
the grease spots and not harm the
color.

PIMPLES ON SCALP ITCHED
Lewisburg, Tenn. —“Four years past
I had a very bad scalp trouble that
commenced with itching. Later my
hair got thin and my scalp sore and
I cottld not sleep for scratching at
times. I did not get the sleep that
was restful and refreshing. I was los
ing my hair fast. I had pimples on
my scalp which itched and burned so
that I scratched and irritated them. I
had dandruff which scaled off and
showed on my clothes.
"I tried almost every noted scalp
remedy and hair tonic without suc
cess. Then I commenced using Cutl
cura Soap and Ointment and was re
lieved of the itching and sore scalp
after three shampoos and applications
of the Ointment. After using both
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for
three months I was completely cured.”

South American Progress.
The enormous growth of the South
•American republics in recent years is
so little understood that it may be
worth while to recall the recent state
ment that the city of Buenos Aires
now has a population of 1,700,000,
which makes it the third largest city
in the two Americas, the other two
being New York and Chicago. Phil
adelphia, which stands next to Chi
cago in the United States, has now
been passed by the South American
city. Buenos Aires has very nearly
multiplied its population by ten since
its first census was taken 45 years
ago. It is also to be noted that that
city stands next to New York in the
tonnage and value of foreign com
merce.—Hartford Times.
No Nation Self-Sufficing.
Despite proud boasts made in vaunt
ing spirit from time to time by nearly
every civilized nation that it is self
sufficing, the test quickly furnishes
conclusive disproof. The interlacing
of world activities and world Inter
ests has progressed so far that the
disruption of peaceful intercourse has
far-reaching effects entirely unfore
seen and unforeseeable.
While almost any nation can doubt
less in time readjust itself so as to
get along independently, the readjust
ment, if permanent, would be a step
backward lu the scale of progress. In
other words, there can be no such
thing as civilization wholly sufficient
unto itself. —Omaha Bee.

Ammonia in Rain.
At one time it was erroneously sup
posed that rain is the original source
from which the earth gets its nitro
gen and ammonia. Ammonia is, in
deed, always present in rain water,
and of course falls with it upon the
soil; but the question was how it got
into the rain. The question was an
swered by assuming that it came from
the sea. especially from the sea In
tropical regions, but when rain water
was collected near the sea in tropical
countries, and analyzed, nothing was
found to support the assumption.
Now, according to the Electrical
World, the theory is that the soil, or
at any rate, arable soil, constantly
gives off ammonia to the air. If that
view is correct, the rain, instead of
contributing three or four pounds to
the acre, is simply restoring what the
atmosphere has taken from the earth

For years wc have been stating in the newspapers of the
country that a great many women have escaped serious op
erations by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, and it is true.
We are permitted to publish in this announcement
extracts from the letters of five women. All have been
recently received unsolicited. Could any evidence be
more convincing?
IHodgdon, Me.—“ I had pains in both sides and such a soreness
• I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached and I
was so nervous I could not sleep, and I thought I never would bo
any better until I submitted to an operation, but I commenced taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new
woman.” —Mrs. Hayward Sowers, 1 lodgdon, Me. i
2 Charlotte, N. C.—“l was in bad health for two years, with
• pains in both sides and was very nervous. I had a growth
which the doctor said was a tumor, and I never would get well unless
, I had an operation. A friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pink
r ham’s Vegetable Compound, and I gladly say that lam now enjoying,
i fine health.” —Mrs. Rosa Sims, 10 Winona St., Charlotte, N. C.
3 Hanover, Pa.—“ The doctor advised a severe operation, but my

experienced great relief in a short time. Now I feel like a new person
and can do a hard day’s work and not mind it.”—Mrs. Ada Wilt,

ation as I had something growing in my left side. I refused to sub-
’ mit to the operation and took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com

what it has done for me.”—Mrs. Laura A. Griswold, 2300 Blk. East

Work Weakens the Kidneys
Many occupations weaken the kidneys,
causing aching backs, urinary disorders
and a dull, drowsy, discouraged feeling.
Work exposing one to chills, dampness
or sudden changes; work in cramped
positions; work amid the fumes of
turpentine; constant riding on jolting
vehicles, is especially hard on the kidneys.
Taken lu time, kidney trouble isn’t hard
to stop; neglected it is dangerous. As
a kidney tonic, there is no other medicine
so well recommended, so widely used and
so universally successful as Doan’s Kid
