Remember the good old- 
fashioned mustard plaster 
Grandma used to pin around 
your neck when you had a 
cold or a sore throat? 
It did the work, but my how it 
burned and blistered! 
Musterole breaks up colds in a 
hurry, but it does its work more 
gently—without the blister. Rubbed 
over the throat or chest, it penetrates 
the skin with a tingling warmth that 
brings relief at once. 
Made from pure oil of mustard, it is 
a clean, white ointment good for all 
the little household ills. 
Keep the little white jar of Musterole 
on your bathroom shelf and bring it 
out at the first sign of tonsillitis, croup, 
neuritis, rheumatism or a cold. 
To Mothers: Musterole is also made 
in milder form for babies and small chil¬ 
dren. Ask for Children’s Musterole. 
35c and 65c jars and tubes; hospital size, $3.

Advice to the Beginning Housekeeper 
The appeal ou page 185 made me think 
that my experience might be of value. We 
married in 1!)17 on an income of $1,200. 
We had saved for 10 months, and began 
married life without debt for furniture. 
This is most important, as oue always 
has more necessity for money after mar¬ 
riage. We bought furniture direct from 
a large Boston firm ; charming, splendidly 
built copies of Colonial furniture. We 
bought for bedroom two three-quarter, 
four poster, beds; two first-class springs; 
two second quality hair mattresses; one 
chiffonier which has two small drawers 
for collars, handkerchiefs, etc., one large, 
deep drawer for men’s shirts and foldable 
• clothes, etc., and three average-sized 
drawers. Always been sufficient for two 
people. Two bed-side chairs, two small 
rag rugs (Summer) ; two small Wilton 
rugs (Winter); furnishings included one 
long mirror (dressmaking), six sheets, 
six pillow cases, four feather pillows, two 
cotton flannel double blankets, four dimity 
bedspreads, two wool blankets, two down 
puffs (excellent combination for varying 
degrees of temperature) ; towels, etc. 
Our living-room furniture was bought 
to be interchangeable and has proved of 
great value because of varying conditions 
of houses. There were two rugs, 9x12 ; 
one 3(i-in. round gate-legged table; one 49- 
in. oval gate-legged table; one Windsor 
rocker; two Windsor arm chairs; four 
Windsor straight chairs; one buffet (two 
drawers, cupboard with two doors) : one 
wing chair, one footstool (high), one 
cricket; one magazine rack, one bookcase, 
one couch or divan (usable for extra 
bed) ; one tip-top tea table, one four-fold 
Japanese screen (very useful for most 
unexpected needs) ; one tea wagon. 
We had tw.o dozen napkins, two lunch¬ 
eon sets (linen), no tablecloths; one 
breakfast set for two only. Other linen 
will probably be in gifts. 
Dishes, open stock Japanese IIowo 
bird pattern, always replaceable, cheaper 
than other china, perfectly satisfactory; 
eight dinner plates, 12 breakfast plates, 
eight butter plates, eight, cups and sauc¬ 
ers, eight bouillon cups and saucers, six 
cocoa cups, one cocoa pot, water pitcher, 
one cream and sugar, one large cream 
pitcher, one hot milk jug, one chop dish, 
one large oval platter; one small platter, 
one oval vegetable dish, one round one, 
one covered one, one celery dish, one des¬ 
sert dish. 
My only suggestion is to buy a real din¬ 
ing table in place of one gate-legged table 
which is suitable for informal entertain¬ 
ing only. That happens to be the only 
kind we like, so we get along famously. 
On my kitchen my original outlay was 
at least $30, and I am the envy of all my 
friends, because I have tools enough to 
suit the job. I dislike aluminum, so 
bought the best enamel for some things, 
but have had to replace, and think alu¬ 
minum is best regardless of difficulty in 
cleaning. 
One calendar, one large sieve, one small 
sieve, one quart measure, one combination 
bread and cake mixer, one preserving ket¬ 
tle, one 0-qt. kettle, one 24-qt. ket¬ 
tle, one small, one large saucepan, one 
teakettle with double boiler insert, one 
double boiler, same size as teakettle in¬ 
sert, so that they are interchangeable, one 
arge double boiler, one medium-sized dou¬ 
ble boiler, broad shaped, both sections 
suitable as saucepans or a baking dish* 
three baking dishes (deep), one large fry¬ 
ing pan, two small ones, two pie plates, 
two layer cake pans, two bread pans 
(tin) also long bread pan, one ■ broad 
bread pan, one meat chopper, bread board 
and rolling pin, potato masher, single and 
double egg beaters, egg whisk, four re¬ 
sist-stain steel paring knives, four forks, 
six teaspoons, eight tablespoons, four 
large mixing spoons, four measuring cups, 
bread knife and two kitchen carving 
knives, can opener, carborundum, bread 
box, cake rack, mixing bowls, covers for 
all sauce pans and kettles. 
Eight unbleached muslin holders with 
metal ring on one corner (four in wash 
and four in use), 12 dish towels, four 
hand towels, six aprons. Trays. Other 
things I have such as the washing neces¬ 
sities, but these I bought after I got 
settled and knew exactly what was 
needed. 
Also of course we have silver; 12 
knives, forks, spoons, four tablespoons, 
one butter knife, carving set, etc., mostly 
gifts. 
This is quite an inventory, but it lias 
needed scarcely any additions for six 
years, and was not a large outlay to begin 
with. I have found it best to wait until 
in a house before buying many things. I 
buy inexpensive curtains and replace 
when necessary. One’s windows are bet¬ 
ter trimmed that way, and if one moves 
windows are always different. I make my 
own fireless cookers according to govern¬ 
ment bulletin directions. I follow good 
household publications for household sug¬ 
gestions. I make a- special study of all 
available cook books, cutting out good 
recipes and filing in a card catalog. I 
bake my own bread, cakes and pasfry, 
serve three square, hot. interesting meals 
a day and do not caio if my bureau 
drawers are not in spandy ordeP. I find 
that husbands do not care about drawers 
and closets, but a great deal about dinner. 
Here’s hoping this may be a useful out¬ 
line and good luok to you.
