Show To prevent woven carpet from unraveling, un-raveling, it is a good plan to unravel about two inches and tie together the ends of warp. Gruels are more tempting to the sick if whipped to a froth with an egg-beater, and served In a pretty, dainty cup. When your stocking feet are past mending, cut off the legs for bags to put over the broom when wiping walU or floors. If the neck of a sweater becomes stretched too loose from wearing, shrink it by dipping it in clear, warm water, then drying. I find turkey fat, after it has been tried out, a splendid substitute for butter in making cookies or biscuits. Don't make ginger cookies and then hide the jar. Nobody ever hid a cooky jar where a boy could not find it. When you make doughnuts, remember remem-ber that it isn't the hole that fills up a hungry boys' appetite. Put in some doughnut, as well as a great big hole.
