of  white  fluffy  rolls  to  pad  our  quilts. 
There  is  no  dirt,  lint  or  knots  to  break 
our  needles  on  when  quilting.  When  suf¬ 
ficient  rolls  are  made  the  lining  is  sewed 
to  the  frames,  the  rolls  or  bats  are  laid 
on  lining,  then  the  top  or  pieced  work 
placed  smoothly  on  top  and  basted 
around  edges,  then  quilt  and  frames  are 
swung  up  or  suspended  from  overhead 
ceiling  and  we  are  ready  for  help.  A 
sheet  is  spread  over  quilt  when  not  quilt¬ 
ing,  and  if  the  room  is  used,  the  quilt  is 
raised  up  out  of  the  way  by  winding  the 
cords  around  the  ends  of  quilting  laths 
until  quilt  is  above  our  beads. 
MRS.  D.  b.  P. 
easy  for  a  busy  man,  whose  daily  life  in¬ 
cludes  much  hard  manual  work,  to  get 
an  idea  that  his  personal  appearance  does 
not  matter — and  yet  strangers  are  hound 
to  judge  a  man  by  his  exterior  at  first. 
Sloueby  clothes  lead  to  slouchy  manners 
and  appearance.  We  have  much  reason 
to  be  grateful  for  the  spread  of  khaki 
after  the  Spanish  war;  it  has  resulted  in 
the  manufacture  of  clothes  suitable  for 
hard  work,  and  yet  possessing  sufficient 
picturesqueness  to  set.  off  a  muscular, 
sun-tanned  wearer.  There  is  no  reason, 
in  these  mail-order  days,  for  any  man 
who'has  the  means  of  purchase  to  buy  or 
wear  "countrified"  garments,  and  there 
is  every  reason  for  the  farmer,  young  or 
old,  to  look  what  he  is,  a  self-respecting 
business  man,  whether  he  is  in  the  field, 
on  the  wagon,  or  transacting  his  affairs 
in  town. 
WOMAN  AND  HOME 
AND  PARTIAL.  FASTING 
From  Day  to  Day 
On  Easter  Day 
We  light  the  Easter  fire,  and  the  Easter 
lamps  we  trim, 
And  lilies  rear  their  clialiced  cups  in 
churches  rich  and  dim. 
And  chapel  low  and  minster  high  the 
same  triumphant  strains 
In  city  and  in  village  raise,  and  on  the 
lonely  plains. 
"Life"  is  the  strain,  and  ‘‘endless  life" 
the  chiming  bells  repeat — 
A  word  of  victory  over  death,  a  word  of 
promise  sweet; 
And  as  the  great  good  clasps  the  less,  the 
sun  a  myriad  rays, 
So  do  a  hundred  thoughts  of  joy  cling 
round  our  Easter  days. 
And  one  which  seems  at  times  the  best 
and  dearest  of  them  all, 
Is  this:  that  all  the  many  dead  in  ages 
past  recall. 
With  the  friends  who  died  so  long  ago 
that  memory  seeks  in  vain 
To  call  the  vanished  faces  back,  and  make 
them  live  again ; 
The  right  kind  of  nitre  oil,  the  Natural  Untreated 
Olive  Oil  pure,  will  in  most  cases  so  greatly  improve 
the  health  that  Nature  does  the  rest  and  makes  you 
well.  It  is  not  a  cure  all.  and  will  not  give  health  to  in¬ 
curables,  hut  It  has  given  hope  to  many  hopeless  ones. 
What  it  will  do  in  worth  knowing  and  any  one  can 
know  by  reading  our  free  Booklet,  which  tells  every¬ 
thing  that  Is  known  about  olive  oil  and  hmv  to  take

The  beneficial  effect  of  Pure  Natural  Olive  Oil  is 
greatly  Increased  if  taken  with  the  Partial  Tasting 
Method,  a  natural  way  to  promote  health  without

prizes  for  dress-making,  millinery,  cake-  D'

writer  on  economics  recently  asserted 
that  business  and  wage-earning,  l-ather 
than  domestic  training,  was  what  women  "1  ^  /

that  everyone  would  live  iu  a  city  flat, 
with  a  community  kitchen  or  delicti tes-  2  x

many  a  country  community  that  ought 
to  attempt  a  co-operative  laundry,  but 
we  still  need  the  individual  home,  and 
any  effort  to  interest  the  girls  is  an  " 
advantage.  PM

Something  a  little  different  in  bread 
puddings  is  quaking  pudding,  made  as 
follows:  Materials  required  are  one 
quart  milk,  four  eggs,  tAVO  tablespoonfuls 
butter,  one  quart  stale  bread  cut  in  thin 
slices,  one-quarter  cup  currants,  one  cup 
stoned  raisins,  one-half  teaspoonful  salt, 
three  tablespoonfuls  sugar.  Measure  the 
bread  after  it  has  been  cut.  Butter  a  tin 
pudding  mold,  sprinkle  it  with  currants 
on  bottom  and  sides,  then  lay  broad  in  it 
in  layers,  sprinkling  raisins  and  sugar 
over  each  layer.  Beat  the  eggs,  adding 
salt  and  nutmeg  to  taste,  then  add  milk, 
and  pour  it  all  over  the  bread 
away  in  a  cool  place  for  two  hours:  then 
put  in  steamer  and  cook  for  one  hour.  A 
pleasant  variation  is  to  add  some  chopped  flax,  and  the  thread 
apple,  with  the  raisins.
