» WOMAN AND THE HOME Household Hints Casement Cloth Curtains--Recent- ly in making thirty-five casement curtains, I saved much time by using a warm ifon for creasing the hems. To do this lay the curtain lengthwise on the 'hoard, turn the hem--in this case two-inches--with the left hand, holding it in place with a foot rule, Draw the ruler along the hem just ahead of the iron, thus assuring a perfect measurement. Turn the op- posite side in the same way, then the ends. With 'the four sides well creased in this manner, it is a com- paratively simple matter to turn in the raw efges and pin or baste, LJ LJ . .

Diary of a Flapper's Stomach | The following diverting and clever piece of work presented in the pages of the American Journal of Public Health (Chicago) brings home cer- tain facts with which we are fam- iliar, with a force that would be impossible in a plain statement. The outraged stomach of a flapper is describing the experience of a single day. Here it is: "10.00 A.M.--Oh, dear! Another warm day. Wonder if I'll be abus- ed as | was yesterday. If I am, I'm going to strike. Just disposed of a half-chewed breakfast. We ran for the train which meant I was so jig- gled about and so tired, that it took me twice as long to do my work.

Just heard her say, 'Oh, dear! I don't feel a bit well. The milk in that egg-nog must have been sour.

It is better not to bring into the house at one time, one every two weeks, so that) Winter Covering For Plants Hardy plants that are too heavily covered are sure to spring above ground prematurely, and consequent- ly nipped. Are you protecting ten- der plants sufficiently, or are you generous to the hardy ones? If the roots as well as top of the plant must be absolutely protected from freezing, the plant should 'be brought in doors. But if it is a half-hardy plant, whose roots can endure a little frost, it should be protected after frost has entered the ground, but before a heavy frost. Then the frost that has gone in cannot get out, and the heavier frost, after pro- tection cannot get in, thus providing an undisturbed period of oblivion for the plant. Indoor Flowers Among the numerous bulbs, the hyacinth and the narcissus are the most certain to succeed in water alone, which should be just beneath the bulbs, and the roots immediately reach it when they come forth, while the bulb itself will not be rotted by it. Do not start all you intend' to have at one time, but set a new group B MUCH WATER USED DURING PAST MONTH Pumping Figures Come Near Reaching Peak for Year According to figures for the month of October this morning divulged by W. C. Smith, Town Engineer, the number of gallons of water pumped almost equals the record month of August. When a decline was noticed in the number of gallons pumped during September as compared to August it was thought that the peak had been reached during the latter month, Evidently such was not the case for during October, 28,000,000 imperial gallons of water were pump- ed, The maximum amount pumped in one day was 1,087,800, The ave- rage daily amount pumped was 934, 000 gallons. The average daily run was 13 hours and 45 minutes. Elee- tric power was shut off during the month for | hour and 40 minutek. There were two fire alarms during the month.

Let us ask-- are you making the same mistake as Mrs. Carr? WHAT WAS MRS. CARR'S MISTAKE? She forgot thet Rineo is not the same as ordinary soap, flakes or washing powders. She did not give Rinso an opportunity to show its wonderful power of washing clothes clean just by soaking. She used to put Rinso direct famous Rinso liquid. The result was that the fine granules of soap essence of Rinso were not property dissolved and their value was not spread evenly through the wash 0 as to loosen all the dirt in every garment--ready to come away in the rinse. The result of course was disappointing. soak the things thoroughly them up and down. In the moming rinse the THE PROPER WAY TO USE RINSO Now this is the proper way to use Rinso--for ordinary washing--For each tubful of clothes take half a package of Rinso put in a little cool water and stir until it is in a cream thoroughly dissolved.

Put the clothes in, so that each is covered and clothes until the water runs clear. Only soiled collars and cuff edges may need a slight rubbing with your fingers.
