Gelatin Dessert—Make a lemon jelly according to directions that come with gelatin; just before it congeals, add three-quarter cup of English walnut meats, three quarter cup seeded raisins or fresh berries and one-half cup grape nuts. Serve with whipped cream and plain cake. This is a delicious gelatin and the grape nuts blend in with the other ingredients so well that it is impossible to tell what it is. This amount will serve eight or ten people, and is economical, as it can be kept on ice for several days. Serve with whipped cream and a simple white cake.
Corn Soup—Mash the contents of a can of corn as fine as possible, place in double boiler with a quart of milk and cook one-half hour. Place in a sauce pan two tablespoons of butter and one of minced onions. Cook slowly ten minutes and add three tablespoons of flour; cook until frothy, and then add salt and pepper and stir into the corn and milk. Cook ten minutes more and rub it through puree sleeve. Beat well the yolks of two eggs, mix one-half cup of cream, pour into the soup, cook one minute, stirring meanwhile, and serve promptly with croutons.

Dusting—Dusting...is one of the most thankless, annoying duties poor housewives have to perform. No sooner do you remove the dust from one place than it gaily flies off and settles down comfortably on another. And the reason is—the duster cannot pick up the dust. The remedy for this is to get a piece of cloth (anything soft will do) and soak it in paraffin; when thoroughly soaked wring out and allow to dry. When you dust with this duster you will find that it picks up every speck of dust.
To Polish Glasses—Keep all clean tissue paper, and after washing glasses and tumblers, rub up in the usual way with dry, clean cloths. This done, polish thoroughly and briskly with the tissue paper, giving a final rub with a very soft linen towel. Brilliant results will follow such a method.

Cook's Knives—Sharp, pointed knives, such as are sold as cook's knives at all ironmongers, are invaluable in the kitchen—especially the smaller sizes.

A large and a small palette knife are useful, too for the turning out of cakes and small fancy shapes,

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Last winter my husband's sister husband died of influenza and she had to come to live with us. She is a girl who married when she was eighteen, just as soon as she finished high school, and she has never worked. Her husband did not make much money and during the five years of their married life they did not save anything. My husband even had to stand the expense of the funeral. Although we have not a lot of money, we have always tried to save and get ahead. Now it is harder, of course, because my sister-in-law does not do anything and we have to board and clothe her.
Even my husband feels she ought to go to a commercial school or get some other kind of position, but he won't mention it to her. I am afraid she would never forgive me if I suggested such a thing. I really don't know what to do. What would you advise?
MRS. G. D.
Your sister-in-law may resent advice from you at the time it is given, but in the end she will be so much happier leading an independent life that she will more than forgive you. It will be most generous to offer her the opportunity to attend commercial school in preparation for a position, and I hardly believe she will resent such a suggestion.
Things cannot go on in the way they are now, because all of you will grow dissatisfied. It is not just your sister-in-law should settle down on her brother to be supported indefinitely.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I cannot understand the young people of today. I have a sweet little daughter who is seventeen years old. She does not paint and go out nights the way other girls of that age do nowadays, and to
FOUR MONTHS OUT OF SIGHT OF MAN
Eight months before the camera:
four months out in the wilds, as far away from human habitation as he can get, with only a burro as his companion. That is the recipe for a contented life given by Hugh Saxon, veteran character actor of the stage and screen, who enacts the role of the minister in Rence's "The Veiled Woman," which has just been released through Hodkinson.
"The happiest time of the year," says Saxon, "is the day I pack up the old hiking kit and start off into the far hills. I go into the mountains with practically no supplies. Years of experience in woodcraft have taught me to build a fire with a piece of string and two sticks, to get my salt and my acids from the soil and from herbs and to trap all kinds of animals."
"I love to get off the beaten track of hunters, entirely out of touch with the world. Then I establish a camp, but I sleep under the stars and travel as the whim takes me. In the fall I come back, refreshed and uplifted in body and spirit."
"The Veiled Woman," from the famous novel "A Spinner in the Sun," by Myrtle Reed, will be attraction at the United Theatre, tomorrow. It is said to be an unusually powerful dramatic offering, with an oil-star cast, headed by Marguerite Snow, star of "Lavender and Old Lace."

ALL CLUBS REQUIRED TO PAY REVENUE TAX
Collector of Internal Revenue Rex B.

The tax must be paid on any payment required to become a member of such a club, regardless of whetehr or not it is evidenced by a share of stock or otherwise.
Collector Goodcell said, "The newspapers are full of items about new country clubs, athletic clubs and social clubs, some of which are projecting magnificent club houses, or tracts on which members may build for themselves. The officers of such clubs should make it their business to acquaint themselves with their tax liability and to collect the right amount of tax from each member, as there are penalties up to $10,000 for not complying with the law."

"Construction of industrial plants in Anaheim insures building industry for a long time to come," said an officer. "Big plants bring in thousands of workers, for whom housing conditions must be provided. Home building must go on, because the city has just about room for the present people who are now living in Anaheim.
"For every large plant coming into Anaheim a number of small plants are sure to follow. The establishment of industrial plants will surely mean a larger and better city."

She is a good leader and full of ideas and imagination. But the poor child is not happy. She cannot seem to find satisfactory friends. When she goes to play at some girl's home she usually comes home very unhappy and hurt.
Last week she went to visit at the summer home of a girl she liked in school last year. She expected to stay a week, but in three days she came home and said she had an awful time because her friend was so selfish.
You can imagine how unhappy it makes me to have my little girl so discontented. I try to understand why she is, but I can see no reason. Can you tell me what is wrong and if there is any way of helping my little girl to lead a happier life?
ANXIQUS MOTHER.
There is a chance that your daughter is spoiled and selfish, but in your love for her you are not conscious of the fact. So often parents are blind in a matter like this, and instead of helping the child they only indulge further.
My advice is to entertain some friend of your child's for a week and watch the two girls together. Undoubtedly your daughter has splendid traits, but unfortunately they are characteristics which are difficult to get along with. It is all right to be a leader, but it is wrong to dominate. Unless your daughter learns to be unselfish and willing that her friends should have their own way too, she will find it difficult to make and keep friends.
Teach unselfishness and thoughtfulness of others, and curb your daughter's tendency to want her own way.
