when  the  men  come  in,  for  I  fear  it 
would  be  quite  upsetting  to  one’s  nervous 
system  to  have  ten  or  a  dozen  hungry 
men  who  are  impatient  to  get  back  to 
work  waiting  for  one  to  finish  cooking 
the  dinner.  And  if  it  should  be  your 
young  husband’s  first  opportunity  to 
show  his  neighbors  your  splendid  house¬ 
keeping  abilities,  it  would  be  very  dis¬ 
appointing  to  him  to  have  to  introduce 
as  his  bride  a  perspiring  disheveled  little 
lady  who  is  frantically  trying  to  make 
the  potatoes  boil  faster,  instead  of  a 
serene  immaculately  dressed  young  wo¬ 
man  who  is  confident  that  she  has  ready 
on  the  dot,  a  square  meal  that  will  please 
both  her  husband  and  his  neighbors. 
A  FARM  WOMAN.

Fire  Precautions 
Before  burning  rubbish  out-of-doors, 
one  should  always  have  at  hand  a  plant- 
sprinkler  filled  with  water,  for  instant 
use  if  a  spark  catches  anywhere  in  grass. 
If  necessary,  a  circle  about  bonfire 
should  be  moistened  before  a  blaze  is 
started.  A  home  near  mine  was  burned 
for  lack  of  these  slight  precautions.  Noth¬ 
ing  else  is  as  effective  as  a  sprinkler, 
but  a  pail  of  water  used  with  a  broom, 
to  sweep  out  fire,  is  the  next  best  thing. 
Don’t  go  to  a  fire  empty-handed.  Carry 
pails.  Women  and  girls,  especially, 
should  attend  to  this  need,  for  they 
usually  start  from  homes,  while  men  are 
more  apt  to  answer  the  call  from  places 
where  pails  are  not  so  readily  available. 
At  a  recent  fire  in  my  vicinity,  much 
destruction  might  have  been  prevented, 
and  easily,  had  the  first  comers  brought 
pails.  G.  A.  T. 
Uncooked  Pepper  Hash 
May  I  ask  you  to  print  a  recipe  from 
your  “Rural  Cook  Book,”  published  sev¬ 
eral  years  ago? 
Wash  and  dry  five  large  green  peppers 
and  one  red  one,  remove  seeds  and  chop 
shells  quite  fine ;  chop  fine  a  good-sized 
cabbage,  and  place  with  the  peppers  in  a 
bowl,  mixing  well.  Add  two  tablespoons 
of  brown  mustard  seed,  three  tablespoons 
of  salt  and  enough  good  cider  vinegar  to 
cover  the  whole.  Stir  well  together  and 
put  into  pickle  bottles.  Ready  for  use  in 
two  days  or  will  keep  for  Winter  use. 
This  is  the  easiest  made  and  the  most 
quickly  ready  for  use  of  any  relish  I  have 
found.  A  little  brown  sugar  added  is  an 
improvement.  MRS.  e.  e.  l. 
Y ou  can  do  them  over  yourself 
with  Muralite.  It  costs  less  than 
two  dollars  for  the  average  room. 
Easy  to  use.  Goes  on  like  paint  but 
looks  soft  and  rich  on  the  walls. 
Never  any  streaky  brush  marks 
when  Muralite  is  used.  Never 
rubs  or  chips  off  the  wall.  One 
coat  covers  solidly  and  makes  a 
permanent,  durable  wall  decora¬ 
tion  and  one  that  is  obtained  for  the 
least  fuss  and  expense.  Comes  In 
Pure  White  and  14  attractive  tints. 
You  can  get  Muralite  from  any 
store  where  paint  is  sold,  but  if 
you  have  difficulty  in  obtaining 
original  Muralite  in  individual  5-lb. 
packages  we  will  supply  you 
direct.  Send  $1.50  for  10  lbs.  of 
Muralite,  enough  to  do  a  large 
room,  stating  color  desired.
