Mr Itilcy M Fletcher Berry in We
book Fruit Recipes Doubleday
Page Co says that fruit soups are
URtiallv snrvi1 rnlil where conveni
cnt chilled on ice in very small
china or glass bowls or bouillon cups
Wit this daintiness of service how
ever It may bo forgotten or not real
ized that such soups are not to the
stomach mere empty introductory
flourishes whatever the intent Fruit
soups are foods and as such are used
In many countries by even the peas
ants though they may lack delicate
table appointments It is true that a
fruit may be used which It not of It
self substantial though the opposite
may hold as with prunes but the
pago arrowroot or tapioca used for
thickening furnishes a certain amount
of heat producing material and where
wine Is added this is increased so It
may readily be understood why when
used in quantity such combinations
may approach of themselves substan
tial meals or why even In small
measure fruit soups with but slight
additions of foods containing other
balancing elements may arrive at the
right to be chief dish of a luncheon
or light supper
As a general rule stewed fruit
passed thiough a sieve may have
added to It an equal quantity of wa
ter and to each pint a heaping tea
spoontul or scant dessert spoonful of
iago arrowroot for which cornstarch
may be substituted or tapioca Some
instructors give the rule of a level
ablcspoonful of cornstarch to each
pint of clear pressed fruit juice
which however may be slightly dil
uted The arrowroot or cornstarch is
a quicker process and should be dis
bolved till smooth in a little cold wa
ter added when the fruit juice is at
boiling point then cooked till clear
meantime adding sugar and later a
tablespoonful of lemon juice or wine If
sago or tapioca is used it must be
cooked till thoroughly tender and
translucent A soup made of raspber
lies may serve as example of a lighter
fruit soup Several recipes for fruit
soups afcdmuch information valuable
to the housekeeper are also given
Precautions That Will
serve Its Usefulness
P re-
Boiling water should never be put
into a rubber bag Do not much more
than half fill the bag then place it in
The la before putting in the stopper
and carefully press out the steam
This makes the bag softer as it is
relieved of the pressure the steam
makes if left in it
After using the bag drain out the
water let it hang bottom up for a little
while then take it down and with the
mouth blow a little air into it just
enough to keep the inside from com
ing together as it will often do if there
is no air in it in which case the bag
is almost sure to be ruined in pulling
it apart
If the bag ever should stick put intc
it some hot water with a few drops of
ammonia let it remain a few minutes
then with a thin dull edged stick trj
to separate the inside carefully
Never fold a bag after it has oncd
been used A flannel bag covering for
the rubber bag is very useful
Care of Shoes
An excellent preservative of shod
leather is vaseline If a small quantity
be applied to new shoes it will softer
the leather and - enameled leather
will keep it soft much longer than ordi
narily and render it less liable tc
crack
If worn shoes are cleaned and black
ened and then rubbed with the vase
line their appearance and wearing
qualities will be much improved
Have a box of oats handy and whec
the shoes are taken off remove all
mud and dirt lace or button them
fill half full with oats and stuff the
tops with crumpled paper
then necessary to wear the shoes
empty them and they will be found to
have kept their shape and will not be
drawn if they were in the least damp
when taken off
Cleaning White Silk
To wash white taffeta and other
white silks proceed as follows
Having made strong suds by boil
ing castile soap in soft water allow
it to cool to blood heat or 100 de
crees and wash the silk in it by
swishing it about and lightly press
m
g out tue water witn tue nanus
Dip the goods into suds of the same
kind press the water out once more
and hang in an airy sunless place
until almost dry pulling out all
wrinkles from time to time Roll the
silk carefully over a board and let it
lie wrapped in a towel until there is
only a trace of moisture left
Smooth it under a fine white cloth
with a moderately warm iron If a
elear tone of white is desired add
blueing to the water if an ivory
shade is preferred use the clear suds
Torn Wall Paper
Whea a hole has been made in the
wall paer in moving a piece of fur
niture if one has no paper Hke the
oae on the wall a judicious use of
water colors will work wonders The
torn paper should be first straight
ened as neatly as possible and glued
down Then touch up the vacant
spaces and the seams with paints the
color of the paper at that place says
Home Chat The break will be almost
invisible if the water colors are used

Day of Guillotine Ended
Since the prison of La Rochette
where the French guillotine used to
be kept has been pulled down the
machine of death has been kept in a
shed belonging to the state execu

Paris where it seems desirable to put
up the guillotine no more executions
take place there The president of tne
republic gets around the difficulty by
commuting the death sentence to im
prisonment

The New York Medical Journal
wisely remarks The colon bacillus
Is usually ranked in the saprophytic
group of bacteria rather than placed
among the organisms distinctly patho
genic for man but we know that it is
far from being devoid of virulence
and that it is capable under certain
conditions of gaining increased pow
ers of invading the organism and of
manifesting very definite pathogenic
effects
FIND OUT
The Kind of Food That Will Keep
You Well
The true way is to find out what is
best to eat and drink and then culti

of poisoning ourselves with improper
indigestible food etc

I have used Grape Nuts 5 years for
the young and for the aged in sick
ness and in health at first following
directions carefully later in a variety
of ways as my taste and judgment sug
gested
But its most special personal bene
fit has been a substitute for meat and
served dry with cream when rheu
matic troubles made it important for
me to give up the coffee habit
Served in this way with the addi
tion of a cup of hot water and a little
fruit it has been used at my morning
meal for six months during which
time my health has much improved
nerves have grown steadier and a
