Boston, Aug. 21. Butter buyers have Ehowu little Interest In fresli arrivals, but have to a grout extent continued to supply their wants from the cold stor age stock, which shows good condition. Notwithstanding tho quiet trade, hold us have been able to maintain prices. There Is some doubt among receivers as to their ability to do this should tho re ceipts continue to Increase. Advices from the producing sections show that this Is likely to be the case, and unless thetc Is a radical Improvement In tho demand In theaicar futuro there may bo pressure to sell, and prices consequently go lower. Sales were reported Tuesday of west ern at lfl cents for the best, but In paying that price buyers were pretty careful about the quality, and only the best commanded this outside price. For lots Ellghtly off In quality lSVi cents was paid, und sales at 18 cents wore also made. At the close a fair quotation was 1SV4 to 19 cents for the best, but supplies have to bo cholco and clear of defect to com mand the higher quotation.

Please send any sugges tions or recipes to our special editor, addressed GOOD COOKERY. (Copyright) My Dear Dorothy: Do you realize how often we pass tho simple little things In life, striving to ob tain tho greater ones, when the smaller ones would give us more satisfaction. Now this truth was brought forcibly to my mind the other day when n man tried lo soil me a patent broiler wbjeb would not allow tho meat to get smoked tho least little bit. I think I can tell you of a "broiler" that will be very Inexpensive and always nt hand salt. Don't laugh, because It Is all right, and I know thnt a dull or smouldering flro may be made clear and bright for broil ing by a handful of salt thrown over It, Try It. Now ns a fire extinguisher salt Is again a king. Put twenty poumls of rait and ten pounds or nitrate of nmmonia in ten gnu Ions of water, dissolve and bottle, and when something gets on fire throw the contents of ono of these bottlM! over It and effective work will be accomplished, Hy spraying the articles the fire will be rapidly extinguished, as an Incombustlblo coating Is formed. Copper nnd brass may bo quickly cleansed by dipping half a lemon In rait and rubbing the tarnished objects, and stains may be lemovcd from the llngcr.s by the same means, Unless you put sufficient salt In bread It will soon become dry and acid, and will crumble. A llttlo salt added to mustard keeps It from souring nnd gives It a fine flavor. When you have boiled strong vegetables like cabbage, cauliflowers or onions In your kettles, nnd nn odor Is retained, throw a handful of salt on tho stove ann turn tho kettle directly over It. In a few minutes they will bo ns sweet as new ones. it this season green salads are very ipenernltv jnrveH. All nlml mnter'.nls llltn lPttucti C,cory, celery, and the like, .nt. 1,1 i,A B.irA.i in ,ni,t ..in,i m.t.. t destroy the animalcules or small worms. Hnvo your kitchen girl pour strong, salted water down tho drains, as sower gns Is counteracted by salt. In England lu the coast towns sea water Is used to lny Iho dust In the strcts, and It Is moro effective than fresh water. If you wish to be rid of moths In car pets wipe thoroughly with salt and wa ter. As a medicine salt Is very valuable. Many times when a child I had to use a garnlc of salt nhd water for a soro throat, and It Is excellent, ns It cleanses tho palate nnd n furred tongue. A pinch of salt on the tongue, followed 10 minutes after by a drink of cold water, often cures n sick headache. Salt will harden the gums, make the teeth white and sweeten tho breath. Rose cold, hny fever and slmllnr troubles may bo relieved by using lino salt as a snuff. It Is said that America Is a nation of dyspeptics, but we might rid ourselves ot thnt tltlo In a great measure If those who suffer In that way would drink a cup o hot water In which a tenspoonful of salt is dissolved three times a day. Tired eyes nre strengthened by bathing In warm, salted waterj and public speak ers and singers tisn, salt and water for making tho voice clear. A few days ago I saw some pretty glass rait receivers to use for celery or nuts. They were the size and shapo of hutter patties, but were of the clearest glass, with a star cut In tho bottom. They nre a pretty addition to the table and should always be filled, for no 0110 should eat nuts without a sprinkle of salt. I could tell you nny number ot other uses for the plain, cheap article, as a llttln In milk to keep It sweet longer, to use as a polisher for tint Irons, to set tho color In colored fabrics, to stop the chll - dren's toothache, but I think If you re - member nil I have told you that you will ngree with me that a simple thing Is oftentimes as effective and valuable as a more pretentious one.
