Of Interest to the Ladies
(Home Service 0. P. & L.)
Who ever heard of a ghost
walking right out into a brightly
lighted room! They jast don't do
such things. Gloom and dark-
ness are as essential to the well
being of a ghost as is moonlight
to the lovelorn. And this ghost of
depression is no exception to
the rule. Then, to keep it out of
our kitchen^, it is obvious that
we must make them as bright
and cbesrful as possible. Well,
that's easy.
First see that there is plenty
of light. Window ^curtains that
will let in the light and not shut
oac the: outside view help in
makiDg the surroundings cheer-
ful. Curtains give one of the
best opportunities to add color
to an otherwise colorless room.
Lanterns And Gasoline
Cause Two Accidents;

Tengler wera draining some gas-
oline out of one car to place in
another car that was out of gas.
They took a lantern so they
could see how Cooperate the cap
on the bottom of the tank, Their
clothes were wet with gasoline,
they still could not see well
enough so moved the lantern
closer, and in doing so the gaso
line ignited-Both received burns
on their hands and arms, they
were rushed in and given treat
ment here.
Prank Vacek, who resides be-
tween here and Weimar, took a
lantern with him when he was
putting some gas ink) his gas
pump used t) pump water, he

curtains are to be kept looking

Oace before, severe! months
ago, I told you that "In every

ning unit in a while glass enclo-

bracket or pandant lamp fixture
above the sink, and a iamp near
the range where the light will
shine into the oven.Tbere should
also be two or more convenient
outlets ho that it will not be nec-
essary to remove a lamp from a
socket when the percolator or
electric iron is used."

use for cutting bread and is not
h&rmed by moisture or hot dish-
es. Moreover, it is a quiet sur-
face on which to work and is easi-
ly kept clean.
A linoleum table cover should
be made with care. First, the
linoleum should be Mclean and
dry. If it must be washed, let it
stand for several hours or over
nigbt. When it is dry brush over
the surface a very light coat of
melted paraffin,then iron in, with
a warm iron, all th3 paraffin the
linoleum will absorb. If some
paraffin remains on |lhe surface
quickly wipe it up with a damp
cloth before the wax hardens
When the wax has cooied a trifle,
coat it with a good spar varnish,
the unvarnished side of the lino-
leum should be cemented to the
table top with water proof glue
or the cement that is used for
cementing linoleum to the floor.

that are durable and that are

Pans tnat have straight sidea

A Tool The Devil
Wants to Keep
Rev. and Mrs. Wissemann mo
tored to La Porte Thursday
where they both lestured at the
Methodist Church and the High
School.
It was once announced that
the Devil was goiEg out of busi-
ness, and would offer all of bis
tools for sale to anyone who
would pay the price. On the
night of the sale they were all
attractively displayed, and a bad
looking lot they were.
Malice, hatred, envy, jealousy,
sensuality, deceit and all other
implements of evil were attrac-
tively spread out, each one mark-
ed with it's price. Apart from
the restliy a harmless looking,
wedge-shaped tool, much worn,
and priced much higher than any
of the others.
Someone asked the Devil what
it was.
"That's discouragement", wss
the reply.
"Why have you priced it so
high?"
"Because", replied the Devil,
"it i3 more useful to me than
any of the others,I can pry open
and get inside a man's conscious®
ness with thatwhen I could not
get near him with any of the
others, and when once inside I
can use him in whatever way
suits mo best. It is much worn
because I've usad it on nearly
everyone and very few know it
belongs to me".
It hardly needs to be added
that the Devil's price for dis-
couragpment was so high it was
never sold.
He still owns it, and is still
using it. Is he using it in your
business now that summer is
over and most all of us have had
our day. Let's forget this tool
and get to work. The business is
here if we work for it. Will you
get yours or will you let the peo-
ple of some other city get all the
trade?—Ex.
