Homemakers who have been keeping house for five to ten years may well find that their stocks need replenishing. Buying linens these days needs thought, care, study and some background of .knowledge. As in anything, you do not buy by price alone. You do not even buy by size alone. You must know something about such things as thread count, machine sizing, absorbency, stitches per inch, and all sorts of things which you may never have considered. Before considering these aspects of buying, check your supplies against what is deemed a minimum practical wardrobe for each bed. This Includes six isheets, three pillowcases per pillow, two mattress pads, one winter bedspread, one summer bedspread, one summer blanket and winter blankets according to the climate. Good Linens Contribute To Well Being If youve ever slept on a bed in which the sheet barely covered the surface, youll know the importance of intelligent selection. Sheets not only protect the mattress, but they contribute to comfort and a poor quality sheet The breaking strength of a sheet will tell you how long the sheet will wear. When the count is low the wear is less than when the count is high. Select a sheet of the proper size for the bed. A standard double bed requires a sheet 81 by 108 inches in size. It should not be less than 99 Inches long to satisfactorily cover the bed. Single beds require a width sheet while three-quarth beds need a width. Look for adequate hems on sheets as well as pillowcases to give best wear. White has been the generally accepted color for sheets for a long time. However, luscious pastels are now obtainable, if you want them. The colored sheets with matching cases are usually available only in the higher priced muslins and percales.

One evening the cat slipped Into the neighbor's house, stole into the parlor, and silenced the canary forever. The neighbor sued the woman for damages, claiming that she must pay for the evil deed done by her pet. However, the court ruled that the woman was not responsible.

He added that a cats owner should not be blamed just because the animal occasionally may revert to his wild nature."

The state officials explained that they wished to give the same kind of education to all children.

Graduates High-Scho- ol CHOOSE YOUR CAREER IN A GROWING PROFESSION! a Pressure Cooker Is Recommended VEGETABLES TO PROCESS properly, a pressure cooker is an invaluable aid. For vegetables, have toe gauge read 10 pounds before you start counting processing time. The pressure should not be allowed to fluctuate since this may drain liquid from toe jar and give a poor looking jar. It will also overcook the vegetables, or undercook them, as toe case may be. food, Vegetables are a non-aci- d and this means they require a high temperature to kill the bacteria which lurk in them. This is why pressure cooker processing is recommended for them. Fruits, which are acid, need much less processing time, and much lower temperature in which to have the bacteria killed. Always follow the directions for your particular type of pressure cooker. One thing is generally true of all types, atid that is to leave the petcock open for at least seven minutes during which time steam escapes from toe cooker. Unless this is followed closely, the pressure may not be accurate, for all air must be exhausted before allowing the cooker to come to pressure. Another safe rule to follow is to allow the vegetables to boil 10 minutes in an open vessel before tasting or eating after they are taken from the can. After filling fte jar with vegetables and water, you may find some air bubbles anchored against the sides of toe jar. Remove these by running a spatula between the glass and the vegetable. Jars which have been sealed with a lid, should not be tested for sound until 24 hours after processing. It will take this length of time to cool the contents of toe self-sealin- g jar. Six pounds of greens, such as spinach, are required to make one quart of toe canned product. -- open high-scho- to girls under 35, graduates and college girls more opportunities every year for the graduate nurse best preparation for both career and marriage ask for more Information at the hospital where you would like to enter nursing.
