Hints on Wasteless Buying and Odor:
less Cooking.
Tho kitchenette housekeeper hns
problems t meet that do not confront
tho woman with a full fledged kitchen.
Without au Inch of superfluous room
It takes care and skill to become pro
ficient iu wasteless buying, odorless
cooking and easy serving.
Tho beginner will uo well to shop
hero and there until she finds a mar
kctmau with an eye to her lutcrestBas
well as his own. If he realizes that she
Is to be a regular customer ho will
give her many a valuable hint He will
pick out a bunch of asparagus that will
cook in tho shortest time and may be
eaten to the Inst scrap as against her
choice of showy white stalk and mea
ger Up. lie will gently dissuade ner
from fresh spinach, which Is so great
In bulk as to cause her embarrassment
In her crumped quarters, and recom
mend young carrots or string beans In
stead.
So tnncht. the miniature housekeeper
will soon know where to flud the tight
ly headed hearts of lettuce and the
trim white bunches of celery, both de
rnid of waste. She will learn that an
extra thick beefsteak Is the kitchen
ette's substitute for roast beef, at a
minimum of expense and without an
ounce of waste.
Wasteless buying must be one of ber
alms In life. She must learn to be
mistress of the art of concentration In
every detail of her housekeeping. With
a little practice she will soon learn
what and how much to buy. she will
discover how to get the most out of her
small gas stove, and she will learn the
secret of cooking things In small pieces,
so that they will leave no objection
able odor. Oulons may bo quartered
and cabbage cut fine, as for cold slaw,
before boiling. Cauliflower may be di
vided inte florets and quickly boiled
until tender. Any of these, covered
with a cream sauce and turned Into. a
buttered baking dish, may be tucked
out of sight In the oven, hot and ready
to serve at the right time. With a little
praerk-e In timing the cooking process
the cooking odor problem may be re
duced to a minimum.
HOW TO USE A NEW CARRIAGE
Let It Stand a Few Days Before Using
So the Finish Can Harden.
The time when a flue carriage or
wagon needs the most careful atten
tion Is Immediately after the first time
It is driven ouL it should then be
thoroughly washed, if the new vehicle
happens to be a carriage more than
the usual pnlns must be taken, be-

.uua -
a new carriage or wagon at once, bui
to let It stand In the stables for several
days. This will give the newly op
plied varnish ao opportunity to set
and harden.
The fine art of carriage washing Is
best exercised with the aid of water
applied with sponges and chamois
leathers. There Is nothing better than
water and plenty of .It All movable
fittings being removed and the uphol
Serins covered, the skillful carriage
washer starts work on the roof. This
washed and wiped dry with chamois
he proceeds to do the dasher and
anrons. these being dried In turn.
N'xt come the seat borders, floor
cloths and bootlngs of the steps. The
wheels are washed last The secret of
rnrriuire washing Is plenty of water
and careful wiping. If the vehicle has
not lon used for several days It
should have an airing, dusting and
washlug Just the same.
How to Plant a Tree.
Most trees are given a too restricted
Dole. Dig Hie bole at least six feet In
diameter and get some experienced per
son who is uned to candling It, If such
be available, to discharge two or three
ntlcks of dynamite In the bottoms near
the sides k order to loosen up the sur
rounding earth to make running ground
for the tree roots later on.
The holes should be at least a foot
deeper than the depth at which the
trees are to be planted, and this space
la to be filled In with broken stone cov
ered with soli, on which the' trees will
rwjt. This will Insure that good drain
age which Is necessary for all trees not
of the swamp kind. In the more. south
ru portions of tho country, where the
ground dries out during periods of
drought to a depth of several feeL
drain tiles should be laid In the bot
torus of the boles, and one tile with the
"bell" level with the top of the ground
set perpendicular, to be used In water
lug the trues when needed- This la of
especially good Idea for street trees,
but the tile top should be protected by
an Iron curb box.
Mow to Wash 8ilk Blouse,
When waslilug silk blouses never
rub soap on them or rub the silk be
tween tho hands. Use soapsuds and
put a llttlo methylated spirit into the
Inst rinsing water, as this gives a gloss
to tile Milk. For tussore silk use bran
water iu place of soap.
A pound of bran should be well
boiled In two quarts of water, strained
and used for both washing and rinsing
water Ono pnrt of water to three
parts of tho bran mixture will be
found about the rlgut proportion.
How to Launder Summtr Dresses,
'in the laundering of the protty sum
mer thin dresses, If there Is a generous
handful of salt added to the luke
warm water In which they nre wash
ed and any of tho pure white soaps
are used, thcro Is little doubt that
they wlU retain their color, especially
if they are hung at once after they are
wrung out In the shade, then Ironed
before they are entirely dry.
How to Properly Care For Food In Hat
Weather.
Protection of food after It comes
Into tho houso la a matter of vital Im-
nortnnco nt nil times, but Is especially
urgent In summer, when n few hours
of continuous bacterial activity may
produce certain malignant poisons,
termed ntomalnes. In tho food supply.
Thousands of cases of. acute Ulncsa are

To cunrtl ncalnst tho degeneration or

importance. Wncn tnls is not avail

be cooked before there la any possible
chance of spoiling.

knowledge of every housekeeper.
HOW TO KEEP ICE IN SICKROOM
Hint For Busy Housswlfe Who 8ervee
as Nurce.
When tho busy housewife must also
serve as nurse and caretaker In case
of sudden illness In the home it la Im
portant to understand numerous con
trlvances In saving steps, especially
when catering to the invalid at night
In servine nutriment or refreshing
drinks during the "night watch" ice is
frequently In demand at a time when
It Is not convenient to go down to the
,lce chest for it A simple device for
kcpnlnu a small auantltv of Ice conven
ient and having It last throughout the
night Is within the reach ol every busy
home nurse.
Cut a niece of white flannel about
ten inches square. Place this over the
top of a tumbler and press It down
into tho class about half way or more
Then bind the flannel fast to the top of
fh class with a strlntr. Into the uan
nel cup thus formed place the Ice and
Inr over It another niece of flannel also
lied snugly over the top of tho glass to
exclude the air.
Between these layers of flannel there
will he verv little ineltlni: of tho Ice.
and the slight drip will fall through
the flannel cun into the glass, keeping
the ice comparatively dry. When a
larger quantity of Ico is required thi
same plan may be carried out by form
Int? n Inreer flannel cun in a bowl. Suf
fleient Ice to last through the nlitht for
food, drink or medicine may thus be
kept conveniently near the invalid who
is ablo to heln herself or handy for the
home nurse, who will not havo to leave
the sickroom whenever ice Is required.
How to Enjoy a Vacation.
If you can't have a long vacation
take a short one. If you can't leave
your work at all manage to make
your work conform in some manner to
summer standards. Picnic as much
as you can, if you enjoy It Eat out of
doors If you can do so in comparative
privacy. In this respect homekeoplng
women are much more fortunate than
their brothers and sisters, husbnnds
nnd fathers out In the business world
because much of their work can be
taken out of the stuffy rooms Into the
air. Fortunntely we are all rapidly
learning bow much of a factor In pre
Rervlntr health this outdoor life may
be and how much It will help us to
make our summer not only healthful.
but happy.
How to Darn.
When you have n large bole to darn
first sew a niece of net over the hole,
catching it firmly to the edges all
around.
Draw the thread In the usual way
through tho meshes, bo that when you
darn crosswise you will have a firm
foundation and oven meshes to darn
through.
Adopting this method, ao matter
bow largo the holo is, you will have
no trouble to darn It neatly and even
ly. Tho work Is also very quickly done.
How to Beautify the Bathroom.
An ordluary bathroom can be given
a beautiful tiled effect by the following
arrangement: Form a high wainscot
ing of cement, three coats, the first two
of ordinary gray and the Inst of keen
cement, which is perfectly white. Hp.
fore the last coat dries lay It off wllh
a marker In blocks the Hhnpe of n face
of tile. The cracks thus made can he
colored to harinonlze with the tinting
of the upper walls and celling.

A FEARFUL FATE FORETOLD.
A buglo blow; an nlrshlp How
Out hlsl o'er battlo plain,
Whero trumpet blared and war stcoa
reared
And cannon did entrain.
Then cavalry and Infantry
Upon each other fell
And cannon roaring from tho hills
Made of tho plain a hell.
Then Johnny Dull drew back a pace
To mako an awrul rush,
To sweep down like an avalanche
And every Yankee crush.
When suddenly tho hill and plain
Shook with a rending roar
Tho Union Jack was torn to shrods,
And John Dull was no more.
Oh. say. what killed tho BrJtfsh Hon?
What knocked bravo John Hull out?
Was It an earthquake's fearful forco
Or dreadful waterspout!
Oh, no; a rlpo old haymow egg,
A high explosive great.
Bhot from above and busted
And wiped John off tho slate!

BROODER ENVIRONMENT.
Here's a rime to tako In time: "Little
details of a biz mako the wheels of
success whiz." This applies to every
project, especially where problems In
flesh and blood are to ho worked out,
and that's poultry, nnd one Important
detail often overlooked with chicks Is
brooder environment. Note these de
tails: Brooders should not be set up
ou mucky ground, on a steep, windy
spot, In a hollow where fog lingers,
where water will Hood or stand, nor on
a bare, unshaded spot. They should
not be near a barnyard where chicks
can scratch In rot, near poultry yards

BllOODEII IN ALFALFA.
where chicks can run on rotten ground
and catch lice from old stock, nor
should they be near rat hole buildings,
whero rats may gobble them. Brood
ers should not be located near woods,
where hawks, skunks and foxes may
prey on them; uear high brush, where
weasels may mako Inroads; near
streams, where minks may grab chick
and run.
Birds of n feather and an age should
flock together.
Ducklings, goslings, poults and
chicks should be kept separate, and the
brooder should not be located where
Mother lien nnd her brood run, fur
the brooder chicks will get lice, the
clucks will bully them nnd scratch and
sleep In their brooders. Brooders
should be set up on a sandy loam,
grassy and well drained nnd near the
bouse, no that attending and protecting
them mny be reasonably easy.
The brooder should be set level, so
that the water vessel, lamp and floor
afo level nnd heat Is evenly diffused.
It should stand flat on bpards, ho that
water cannot reach floor and rats can
not harbor underneath. The brooder
shown is In au Ideal location. It faces
south on a twenty acre alfalfa field
and Is backed by a beautiful old or
chard. DONT8.
Don't expect your wlfo to do her
work and what you shirk. If you do
may she henpeck you.
Don't use expensive drugs to cure a
fifty cent hen. Prevention keeps dis
ease away, and thero are no drug bills
to pay.
Don't worry, but smile nnd your
troubles will burst like bubbles. Be
foro the dawn It's dark; then como tho
light and lurk.
Don't bo cruel. Wo oft condemn old
Nero ns a devil, but what of the man
who works n half starved horse or pol
tons his neighbor's dog or chit-Icons?
Don't worry. That's the slogan to
day, for worry doesn't pay. Don't
moke tho editor worry, but hurry to
pay for your paper in advance and hur
rah' for tho chance,
Don't bo a critic. Iu business,
church, society, to hold your tongue

a report submitted by the Build
ing and Grounds Committee to
tho Board of Directors of the
Exposition, it is stated that the
drawings for the Service Build
ing, one of the first structures to
be erected on the Exposition site
were practically completed, and
that studies are under way for
the grouping of minor buildings
about the Fillmore street en
trance and the entrance to the
Amusement Concessions.
The report further showed that
the engineering department is
working on plans for the opera
tion of the sewer system, which
is to drain the Exhibit Palaces
and that these plans were three
fourth completed.
Working plans for tho fresh
water system "and the fire-protection
system are under way.
During the month of June about
250,000 cubic yards of material
were deposited in the fill from
the dredgers John McMullen and
Oakland. During the present
month material has deposited at
the rate of about 20,000 cubic
yards per day.
The work of constructing a
sea-wall has been completed and
the contractors have about com
pleted the fill they have been
making between Buchanan and
Webster streets. Bids have been
called for the filling in of lands
in the Presidio and adjacent
thereto, and these are to be re
ceived next Friday. Bids for
the construction of a fence about
the Exposition grounds are to
be received the same day.
Up to the present seventy-five
buildings have been moved from
the Exposition site at Harbor
View. Laborers under the direc
tion of John McLaren, landscape
engineer of the Exposition, are
now preparing trees for planting
and the water supply system for
the nursery has been installed.
Bids will be received on July
23rd for the construction of three
Green Houses, one potting house
and the heating- plant in the
Presidio.
The committee also reports
that the city authorities have
passed the necessary resolutions
to close the streets within the
site of the Exposition until
January 1st, 1917.
Plans are under way for the
reception and entertainment of
Japan's Commissioners, who are
due here the latter part of this
month. Japan will be the first
foreign nation to select its site
for participation in the Exposi
tion, and the ceremonies on that
occasion promise to be exceed
ingly impressive. Fifteen states
