Lenten Soup.—Smooth over a fire in a 
saucepan one heaping tablespoonful of 
flour and a little less butter. Then add 
by degrees three scant pints of milk and 
let boil up well. Add a level teaspoon¬ 
ful salt, a dozen flakes of red pepper pod 
and a quarter of a saltspoonful of 
grated nutmeg. Now stir in well a tea¬ 
cupful of cooked and finely mashed tur¬ 
nips. Let the soup heat up to a boil and 
serve. Riced potatoes may be used in 
place of the turnips. 
Good Homemade Soap. 
If “Virginia Reader” will try the fol¬ 
lowing recipe she will have no trouble 
making soap that will harden and be 
white also: One can of Babbitt’s pot¬ 
ash, 434 pounds of grease (strained 
carefully), one-half cupful of ammonia, 
one-half pound powdered borax. Dis¬ 
solve the potash in three pints of cold 
soft water, stir until dissolved, let stand 
from two to three hours to cool, then 
pour into melted grease slowly, stirring 
all the time; then add ammonia and 
borax, wet with a little water. Stir 10 
minutes and pour into box lined with 
wrapping paper. When cold cut into 
squares. ohio reader. 
Wild Crab Apples. 
I have a magnificent wild crab apple 
tree which we have allowed to grow and 
thrive mainly for its beautiful flowers in 
the Spring. Is there any known way of 
preserving, jellying or marmalading or mak¬ 
ing its small apples into any edible com¬ 
pound? w. H. G. 
An excellent jelly of rich flavor is 
made from wild crab apples. Wash the 
fruit, cut in half, put in a preserving 
kettle with just enough water to cover. 
Cook until soft, then let the juice drip 
through a jelly bag, measure, and put on 
to boil. Let it boil 10 minutes, then add 
heated sugar, using a little more than 
for cultivated crab apples, five cups of 
sugar to four of juice. Boil briskly 10 
minutes, then put in glasses. Marma¬ 
lade may also be made from these crab- 
apples; boil as for jelly, press the pulp 
through a sieve or colander, add one 
cup of sugar to every two cups of pulp, 
and boil until well blended, stirring fre¬ 
quently to prevent burning. This is very 
nice with roast pork or goose. It may 
be spiced if desired. 
Destroying Vermin. 
I am much distressed to find vermin in¬ 
festing my children’s heads, the result of 
contact with unclean fellow pupils at 
school. What can I do for it? 
MRS. j. k. L. 
This is a problem that comes before 
a great many mothers every school 
term; every experienced teacher has 
wrestled with it, and it was of sufficient 
importance to receive special attention 
from the medical examiners of school 
children in New York last Winter, an 
astounding number of cases existing. 
According to Dr. J. B. Smith, State En¬ 
tomologist of New Jersey, the best 
remedy for this trouble is thorough rub¬ 
bing of the head with some greasy sub¬ 
stance, such as lard or vaseline. This 
quickly kills the insects by choking up 
their breathing tubes, but does not de¬ 
stroy the eggs, so a second, and, if need 
be, third application should be made at 
intervals of a few days. This should be 
followed by a careful shampoo. Vase¬ 
line is a tonic dressing for the hair, and 
there could be no objection to its use, 
except the greasiness, which must be 
endured for a few days. Washing the 
hair in alcohol is a recommended reme¬ 
dy, but very drying to the hair. Tinc¬ 
ture of larkspur, dropped in between 
partings of the hair with a medicine 
dropper, is effective, but it is poisonous 
and we hesitate to recommend its use on 
this account. We think the vaseline, 
thoroughly applied and repeated, will be 
entirely effective. Mrs. J. K. L.’s second 
question is a medical one, which should 
be answered by her family physician.

fuel economy when you buy a 
heating stove. Jewel Burners give 
you the utmost in both points. Use 
Vk less fuel, give % more heat. 
This is the result of the “Jewel" Tri¬ 
angular Double-Heating Flue construction 
which draws the cold air from the floor 
and sends it out at the top intensely heated 
—actually adding one-third to the heating 
capacity of the stove without using a cent’3 
more fuel. Write and find out about it. 
‘Jewel” 
are the satisfying result of over forty-five 
years’experience building high-grade stoves 
—when you buy a “Jewel” you get the 
greatest value possible for the money— 
“Jewel ” Stoves last longer because they 
are made from Kemi-test metal—the most 
durable stove metal known.

Twice the Heat 
At Half the Cost 
With Hard Coal or Solt Coal, 
Coke or Wood 
Hammer your fuel bill down and save money 1 
Little by little we lmve improved Control Ranges 
until now they will burn any kind of fuel—hard or 
soft coal, coke or wood. 
You can’t do that with other ranges. 
And, even if you could, you would save little or 
nothing i n your fuel bill. 
For most’ranges, other than the Control, waste half 
the fuel you put into them. Either it goes up the 
chimney, or it is discharged into the ash-pan half- 
burned, unused. 
Look attlie ash-pit of the Control. You’ll find only 
a handfu 1 of fine ashes. Every ounce that’s burnable 
is consumed. 
And you get the heat where you want it. A hot 
range and oven and a cool kitchen in summertime— 
or give a twist to the damper and a glow of warmth 
will spread over the room in winter. 
Are Guaranteed to Save Money 
No matter whether you burn hard or soft coal, wood 
or coke, we guarantee a saving of 80 to 60 per cent on 
your fuel bill. Try the Control in your kitchen for 
30 days. If it is not all we have claimed for it, tell 
your dealer and he'll refund every cent you have paid 
on the stove. But that isn’t ail—the stove is sold 
under a one-year guarantee, that is just as good as a 
government bond. 
A Perfect Baking Stove 
Every Control Range possesses patented features 
that are exclusive with the manufacturers. One of 
these features enables you to control the oven perfectly. 
Most ranges are unreliable bakers. One day they 
bake “slow”—the next day “quick.” You can’t con¬ 
trol them. 
With the Control currents of hot air are carried 
under, over and back of the oven. The far side is as 
hotas the fire-box side. The top is as hot us the bottom. 
The heat never varies. 
And one scuttle of coal will do the work of two. 
ForintheControl Range you get all of the heat from 
all of thefuel. 
If your dealer is not supplied with Control Ranges— 
write us for latest catalog and name of nearest dealer 
where you can see and learn about CONTROL 
RANGES —the range that saves you money.
