A pair of scissors in the kitchen are | of invaluable assistance—not the lamp scissors or the dull pair that is black | with age, nor the garden pair, nor yet [ those with the missing points, but a new, sharp, shiny pair that will cut It i3 a difficult matter, for instance, to remove the white pith from grape fruit with a knife; one digs and jabs, and finally cuts out the offending cen ter and, incidentally, makes a hole In the fruit through which the juice drips onto the plate. Not so with the scissors. A snip, a pull, and there it is ■without trouble or mutilation And bacon! Ilow few women can slice off the slippery rind, while with , scissors every morsel can be quickly pared away without a vestige o! waste. In cutting off the legs of a lobster, in breaking open the claws ar.d cutting through the tail, the scis- j sors will no u.P work uncomplainingly ; without the aid of the hammer and ice pick. In preparing vegetables they are In- 1 comparable. Try them in cutting the | roots from spinach, trimming rusty lettuce leaves, shaping flowerets of cauliflower, and cutting up asparagus. Dice up the pineapple with them, cut up the meat and fish for salads, re move the veins from shrimps, use them for the fish fins and save your fingers. TOWEL DESIGNS ARE PRETTY Natural Colors Introduced to Add to Effect, and Results Speak for Themselves. When the dainty cross stitch designs in natural colors were fashioned in garlands from flowers and bowknots on towels last year many declared noth- j Ing could be prettier, but now the darn stitch and the bias stitch, also ! ifc natural colors, have been intro- j duced and they certainly are attrac- ■ tive. At the present moment, however, no towels are meeting with popular favor like these variously termed the “medi- j eval design," the “20th century design" and “Venetian point”—designations that are confusing in both period and place. There is some excuse for this. j as the designs show the influence of lace’s evolution and do not cling to any one decided type, but borrow beauty from all. The work is done in i a sort of buttonhole stitch, combined with punch work. Covering a chicken with cheese cloth will prevent it from getting scorched or drying too much while roasting. When the fowl is ready | for the oven sew it in a piece of cheese cloth, and baste it through this cov ering. only removing the cloth at the time the chicken is ready to be served, j when you will find it has an exquisite golden brown color. Nasturtium leaves, the tiny green ! ones, give a delicious flavor to both hot and cold tea. When making picnic sandwiches I turn the loaf upside down, and you will find that you can cut thinner and evener slices. Hamburg Steak and Potato. Take a pound ot" cold boiled pota toes, pour on them a wine glass of hot milk or water, add a big lump of I dripping, cold bacon fat or butter, j mash to a pulp, then beat up with a fork until quite light; take three-quar ers of a pound of hamburg steak, ! make into small cakes, sprinkle a lit- 1 tie finely chopped onion on top of each cake. Make the potato pulp into thick, round cakes and put a cake of hamburg steak on each. Place in a well-gresed bag. Close and seal It; j cook in a hot oven for 25 minutes. Graham Nut Bread. One cake compressed yeast dissolv ed In cup of warm water with one tea spoon sugar. Let stand until foamy I Make soft sponge with four cups warm water, two teaspoons salt, one teaspoon lard, two tablespoons sugar. I and white flour. Add the yeast and let stand until very light. Mis into soft loaf with one cup sugar, one-half cap walnuts cut fine and two and one- ! half pounds Graham flour. Let rise and make Into four loaves. Bake In moderate oven one hour. To Soften Butter. When butter gets too hard for use in winter fill a bowl with boiling wa- ; ter. Allow it to stand for a few mo ments until the bowl is thoroughly hot Empty out the water and place the steaming bowl over the plate of butter. This may be done In a few minutes before one wishes to use the butter. There is no waste and the flavor of the butter is not impaired as by heating at the stove. ___________________ When Cooking Eggs. Here is a fact worth knowing when yon cook eggs. A spoonful of flour added to the ! grease in which eggs are to be fried [ will prevent them from breaking or i sticking to the pan. Rye Sandwiches. Cut rye bread into very thin slices snd any fanciful shape. Spread with a filling of cream cheese. Grate the :heese Rub to a paste with melted butter. Season with salt and pepper tnd spread.

What time o’ day Poes' a hen lay? That question has puzzled poultry fanciers for unnumbered decades, but now. it seems, it has been satisfactor ily solved by a woman. She is Mrs. Sarah Erickson of Falconer, N. Y. Having kept chickens for 37 years, she believes she qualifies as an expert in this line of effort, “I have worked out the problem." she declares. “By using marked leg bands. trap nests and alarm clocks at tached to the nests I have determined that a hen lays an egg at the same hour, minute and second that she was born, or. rather, hatched. For in stance. if the hen happened to be able to peck its way through its shell at 7:43 a. m., she will lay an egg at pre cisely 7:43 a. m. And she will do this without variation every time she is in clined to lay. 1 have kept close, sys tematic watch on my hens for five years, and I have never known the rule to fail.” __ / Sang for Sultan. Mulai Hafid, the ex-suitan of Moroc co. while staying at Vichy, in France, made an excursion to Les Ardoisieres, says the Matin, where Napoleon III., used often to go for rest. Three young girls, sisters, timidly approached the sultan and asked him to sign post cards. Mulai Hafid consented on con dition that they would each sing a song to him. Two of the girls at once complied, and the delighted Mu lai Hafid wrote on tlicir cards words which, translated, mean: “Like Na poleon III.. 1 have visited Les Ardoi sieres, where I have enjoyed, together with the calm and freshness of na ture, the grace and charm of the voices of Miles. Paulette and Clo tilde." The third girl did not know how to sing, but one of her sisters having sung for her the sultan added the name of Gabrielle. A Hint. Miss Vocolo—I’m never happy un less I’m breaking into song. Bright Young Man—Why don’t you get the key and you won't have to break in? Marriage may be a tie, but It is sel dom tongue tied. RIGHT HOME Doctor Recommends Postum from Per sonal Test. No one is better able to realize the Injurious action of caffeine—the drug in coffee—on the heart, than the doc tor. Tea is just as harmful as coffee because it, too, contains the drug caf feine. When the doctor himself has been relieved by simply leaving off coffee and using Postum. he can refer with full conviction to his own case. A Mo. physician prescribes Postum for many of his patients because he was benefited by It. He says: "I wish to add my testimony in re gard to that excellent preparation— Postum. I have had functional of nervous heart trouble for over 15 years, and a part of the time was un able lo attend to my business. “I was a moderate user of coffee and did r.ot think drinking it hurt me. But on stopping it and using Pos:um In stead, my heart has got all right, and I ascribe it to the change from coffee to Postum. "I am prescribing it now in cases of sickness, especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart, nerves or stomach. “When made right it has a much bet ter flavor than coffee, and is a vital sustainer of the system. 1 shall con tinue to recommend it to our people, and I have my own case to refer to.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
