From Day to Day 
Our Own 
If I had known in the morning 
How wearily all the day 
The words unkind 
Would trouble m.v mind 
I said when you went away, 
I had been more careful, darling, 
Nor given you needless pain ; 
But we vex our own 
With look and tone 
We might never take back again. 
For though in the quiet evening 
You may give me the kiss of peace, 
Yet it may be 
That never for me 
The pain of the heart should cease. 
How many go forth in the morning 
That uever come home at night; 
And hearts have broken 
For harsh words spoken 
That sorrow can ne’er set right. 
We have careful thoughts for the stranger, 
And smiles for the sometime guest, 
But oft for our own 
The bitter tone 
Though we love our own the best. 
Ah, lips with the curve impatient, 
Ah, brow with that look of scorn. 
'Twere a cruel fate 
Were the night too late 
To undo the work of morn. 
-MARGARET E. SANGSTER.

A small towel, with a tape loop that 
will slip over the band of the apron, will 
save many steps when one is cooking or 
doing similar work that calls for frequent 
washing of the hands. When the worker 
has to go to the place where the towel is 
hung, every time the hands are rinsed, it 
means a great many extra steps, w r hich 
are saved by the little towel always at 
hand.

That home laundry business, on page 
751, is a new idea to us as a method for 
a woman to earn money at home. It 
means hard work, for even though washed 
by power, the clothes must be bung up to 
dry, and that is laborious. The work 
must be done on a thoroughly business¬ 
like basis, and cash payment must be in¬ 
sisted on. Many women would not like 
to attempt the work, but there is usually 
plenty of it, not only in the Summer 
boarder district, but also in farm com¬ 
munities. If ironing is to be done, too, 
a power mangle for the flat pieces is 
needed also.

A number of readers have given their 
experience in papering over a creosote 
stain. The following suggestion came 
without any signature: 
Tell Mrs. J. C. B. to buy a light weight 
of table oilcloth, paste the varnished side 
and put it on the wall, and she will not 
have any more trouble. 
Papering Over Creosote Stains; Packing 
Ham 
Mrs. J. I. B. asks what to do about 
papering over creosote stains. I have 
some bud spots on my ceilings, and each 
pnpet-hanger says lie will fix them so they 
will not bother. One painted them with 
flat white paint, another with shellac and 
pa sled a number of pieces of newspaper 
over (lie spots, but in time they all dis¬ 
color. The last one used bathroom paper 
over the spots, and then put the ceiling 
paper on, and the spots have never came 
throng!). They may after a time, but I 
hope not. It has been on two years now. 
Mrs. Olova Hustle writes about put¬ 
ting down ham. I never fry mine before 
putting down, but use melted lard. I 
pack in crocks, and have the lard so it 
will fill all the air spaces. It will use 
very little lard, as I pack as tight as I 
can press in with my hand. I also pet 
chunks for boiling down in the same way. 
I remove the bone fa-fore putting down. 
] leave a good layer of lard at the top, 
and each time I take pieces out I melt 
the lard from the top, and after it. has 
cooled slightly pour enough back to cover 
the top -well. The lard is not spoiled by 
using with the ham, and I use it in the 
the same way I do fried meat fat.

Texas Notes 
There has never been such a wet season 
in this part of the country. We have had 
nil kinds of weathei—hail, sandstorms, 
floods and cyclones. During -the Spring 
months everyone watches the clouds day 
and night. We all have storm cellars, to 
which we go if the clouds look bad. This 
part of the country lias been visited hv 
several tornadoes or, as most of us call 
them, cyclones. 
The wheat in most eases had to be 
plowed up and planted over to oats. 
Corn is growing fast and gives promise 
of a good crop. Very little cotton has 
yet been planted; it is getting late for

Coffee can disturb nerves and digestion, and often 
it does. 
Your grocer has both forms of Postum: Instant Postum 
(in tins) made instantly in the cup by the addition of 
boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, 
for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal 
is being prepared) made by boiling for fully 20 minutes. 
“There’s a Reason” for Postum 
Made by Postum Cereal Co., Inc., Battle Creek, Mich. 
So he matched his strength against the swirl of the 
rapids, and laughed at the danger, and kept repeating the 
stunt, until— 
Postum has charm without harm. It’s the safe drink 
for all, and probably, therefore, it’s the better drink for 
you. Thousands have found it better, and fully satis¬ 
fying, for them. 
The Rural Patterns 
In ordering always give number of pattern 
and size desired, sending price with order 
It was the day the life-savers had been waiting for — 
that day the call for help came. 
It’s an easy matter to smile at coffee warnings when 
you're going strong. 
But a good many strong swimmers won’t risk the 
rapids, and a good many coffee drinkers are beginning to 
think of the caffeine in coffee. 
There’s a safe and satisfying course for everybody in 
the selection of a table drink.
