WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
The Lord God Planted a Garden 
The Lord God planted a garden 
In the first white days of the world. 
And he set there an angel warden 
In a garment of light enfurled. 
So near to the peace of Heaven, 
That the hawk might nest with the 
wren, 
For there in the cool of the even’ng 
God walked with the first of men. 
The kiss of the sun for pardon. 
The song of the birds for mirth— 
One is nearer God’s heart in a garden 
Than anywhere else on earth. 
—Dorothy Frances Gurney. 
We are asked to repeat formula for a 
crack filler given two years ago. It is as 
follows: Take 1 lb. of flour and rub 
smooth in a little cold water. Add three 
quarts of boiling water and set on the 
stove. Stir in one tablespoon powdered 
alum with bits of torn newspapers. Cook 
until the mixture is smooth and thick as 
putty. 
A useful wood stain for the kitchen 
floor is cheaply made from permanganate 
of potash. Mix % oz. in one quart water, 
dissolving thoroughly. Have the floor 
dean and dry; then apply the stain quick¬ 
ly with a large brush. One coat is usual¬ 
ly sufficient. When first applied the color 
will not be attractive, but it will soon 
change to a rich dark brown that will not 
wash away. To clean the floor after¬ 
wards, wipe with warm water. 
THE following wallpaper cleaner will 
be useful at the housecleaning season: 
Sift one heaping cup of flour with one 
tablespoon of salt. Mix one tablespoon 
of kerosene, two of vinegar and two of 
ammonia with one-half cup warm water. 
Blend the flour and salt and cook until 
the flour is thoroughly scalded and the 
moisture used up ; stir all the time. Knead 
until smooth; roll into convenient-sized 
balls and rub the soiled paper with it as 
with a rubber eraser. 
fallen down and rolled out on the hearth, 
and borh andirons—we call them dog- 
irons—turned over. It’s very vexing 
sometimes, especially if the fire is real 
hot, to replace. mbs. d. b. p. 
Gingersnaps and Eolivars 
Will you give recipes for making gin¬ 
gersnaps and bolivars? G. F. 
Gingersnaps.—Two cups molasses, one 
cup shortening, % cup sour milk, one 
tablespoon ginger, two eggs, 1% tea¬ 
spoons soda, flour to make a soft dough. 
Mix the molasses and shortening together 
and heat till the fat is melted. When 
cool add the egg. beaten, one cup of flour 
in which ginger and soda have been sifted, 
and the sour milk. Then add more flour, 
enough to make a soft dough ; roll thin. 
Tennessee Notes 
Snow, snow ! All the earth one glisten¬ 
ing expanse of white, with tiny sparkles 
of gold where the sunlight catches the 
particles of frost. We have been surely 
blessed with our little schoolhouse. Such 
a glorious revival as we have just had; 
42 conversions. Y\ ords cannot express 
our gratitude, so if I ant a bit partial to 
the little one-teacher schools you may 
know whv. Our teacher had shied off a 
bit at oiir Sunday school, but well, she 
•surely came out good and strong on the 
right side. And can you imagine how 
great the influence a teacher wields over 
her pupils? If you cannot, just get one 
busy in a revival. 
We are for unionism; not enough of us 
to divide, so we are starting a union mis¬ 
sion circle and we hope for it great things. 
Our library is still growing and is surely 
being appreciated by old and young. e 
want to start up a weekly prayer meeting 
when school closes. 80 manv of our sol¬ 
diers are young, and unless they receive a 
bit of training we may lose some ot them. 
Measles are raging all around us, but 
our own immediate neighborhood has es¬ 
caped so far. , ,, , 
AVe are on the last lap of half a hun¬ 
dred, but some way we do not feel old at 
nil. AA'hen I take time to think about it 
1 wonder when one does get really old. 
Farmers are already planning for the 
future tobacco crop, but owing to the ex¬ 
cessive rains but little farm work has 
been done. We housewives will soon be 
talking garden in earnest. One small 
blue hen has decided she wants to rear a 
family of her own. AAV are waiting for 
another to be like minded that we may 
give one a double family. The turkeys 
have not begun to locate any nest yet. 
Two of them have been on the sick list, 
so am a bit doubtful as to the disease- 
resisting power of their offspring. _ 
A letter from Paul tells me he is liking 
Iowa better every day. but that he is 
coming home some time. The last account 
Charlie and Cecil were located in Detroit; 
Loo thinks ho will soon bo old enough to 
make his christening flight, but I hope 
different. ,, 
Spang! There went a teacup on the 
hearth, broken in manv pieces. Teacups 
are always wanting to be broken. I should 
like to see all we've broken in one pile. 
And Lee seldom breaks anything; guess 
one should not laugh, but his face was so 
comically rueful I could not help it. 
Do you eat snow ice cream? AVe made 
a big'dishful last night; cream, sugar, 
flavoring and snow beaten until very 
stiff It is delicious, we think, and not 
at all expensive. Well, now the fire has

teaspoon of cinnamon, salt. Sift dry in¬

Prune Conserve or Marmalade 
Two pounds Oregon prunes, 5 lbs. 
sugar, two oranges, one lemon. 1 lb. 
raisins, one cup walnut meats. Cut up 
oranges and lemons and let stand over 
night with the raisins in the sugar. Soak 
the prunes over night, drain and pit. 
Add the prunes to the other mixture, 
cook thick as marmalade. Add nuts and 
pinch of salt just before taking from the 
stove. I never put all of the rind of or¬ 
ange or lemon in marmalade, as the 
white gives it a hitter taste, .lust shave 
off the yellow and use. The Oregon 
prune is more acid than the California.
