?USE MACHINE FOR DARNING
Work Can Be Done More Quickly and
Easily Than m the Old-Fash
^ toned Manner.
The darning and mending of bed
and table linen, towels, etc., can eas
ily be done on a sewing machine.
, Several sewing machines have a spe
cial attachment to be used for this
purpose, but the work can be done
without it When using the machine
to darn your linen the edges of the
hole should not be trimmed, as th?
1 stitching weaves over and under the
ragged edges. An embroidery hoop
1 is useful in doing this work, as ' it
' spreads the material smoothly and
keeps the threads from drawing up
and puckering. Tho cloth should be
placed over the hoop wrong side out
1 and the ring turned over when work
ing, so that the material will Ile flat
? under the machine foot and the right
side be seen.
A small needle and Ase cotton
ahonld be used and the teos!eu of
the upper amd shuttle thread made
1 loose and the stitch made as long as
poadbje. The presser foot should net
be lowered, so that the work oma be
don? back and forth without tor-tag
the keep at sae* row. Starting
parallel with the thread of the ttmesw
a row of stitching hi aaade atoni; the
edge of the hole of the opposite sida,
then back to the starting place, sew
ing across the hob?, just aa if the
material were there. A small apace
shoaM be left between rows. After
the lengthwise rows are finished., the
ring should be turned and the cross
wise rowe put In, running back and
forth, so as to hare an irregular out
line around the edges and bringing
the rows of stitching close together.
If the hole is too large to be cov
ered with machine stitching, a ]>iece
cut from an old napkin may be used
to mend the cloth. The table cloth ls
put ever the loop in the same way
as lt weald if the cloth were ta be
darned with stitching, then the piece,
which should be cut larger than the
hole, is basted on the wrong side of
the material over the hole, without
turning in the edges. The stitching is
done baok and forth over the raw
edges.
aiAlliROUND
Honora
Never wrap steel or silver in a
woolen cloth. Use softest tissue pa
per.
Peel onions from the root upward
and they will not make your eyes
smart
Save cold tea left from supper and
use in place of water on your house
plants.
Insects like neither salt nor alum
and enough adheres to the carpet to
keep them away.
Starch should be mixed wXh soapy
water, for thus the linen will have a
more glossy appearance and be less
likely to stick to the iron.
Silver teapots that bave not been
use'1 for some time get musty and so
give a peculiar flavor. This can be
prevented by putting a lump of sugar
into the pot before putting a*?ay.
Harks of matches on white paint
will be found removable If the marks
are rubbed with half a lemon and thea
washed with whiting, after which they
should be rubbed well and dried thor
oughly.
It is a mistake to leave out a num
ber of large silver pieces unless yen
have competent help to take care of
them. Dingy silver 1B most unattrac
tive and lt takes a good deal of time
and elbow grease to keep lt free from
tarnish and bright as silver should
look to be really attractive.
To Clean Jars. v.
The easiest way to clean and sweet
en the old glass jars ls to wash them
carefully, then put them in the wash
boiler with enough cold water .o cover
them, and add eno?gh good soap
powder to make a strong suds. Allow
them to come to a boil and keep cov
ered; take from the stove and leave
to steam until cold, keeping covered.
If the jars are to be used at once,
rinse them with hot water and fill
1 rtfpldly.
i _____________
Cup Omelets.
Butter half a dozen custard cups
and fill lightly with equal quantities of
stale bread crumbs and cold meat,
chopped fine and seasoned welL Beat
-three eggs, add one cupful of milk
i and divide among the cups, adding
- more milk if desired. Set the cups in
'a pan of hot water and bake in a
i moderate oven until finn in the cen
ter. Turn out on a platter and serre
I with tomato or white sauce.

1 Potato Balls.
: Pare the potatoes and cut them Into
small round balls with a vegetable
scoop. Put them in bolling water,
cook ten minutes or until tender,
drain, dust with salt and turn them
j tato a warm dieh. Garnish with melt
Led butter into which finely chopped
> parsley has been introduced.
? A fresh vegetable salad, such as let

.frozen dessert may complete the

1 Radish and Olive Salad.
Slice the radishes on a fluted vege
table slicer and cut the olives in
strips. Mix, add a French dressing

x olive oil, a half teaspoonful of vinegar,
.and garnish with lettuce, cress or toe
radish crowns.

Two Implements Farmers
Need
When you buy an implement you want the best, especially when you
can get the best on the market at a very reasonable price.
We want to call your especial attention to Deere's
Universal Disc Harrows.
They are not only strong, being made of the be6t material, but they
are Adjustable and Reversible. Call and let us explain to you the ad
vantages that the Deere harrows have over other harrows on the market.
Can furnish any diso.
The Deere Stalk Cutter.
is an implement that is being appreciated and valued more highly by
farmers each succeeding year. One great advantage this cutter offers is
the elimination of the jolting and jarring to both driver and team. Heavy
springs are so attached and adjusted as to break the foroe of the constant
jolting of the blades. The Deere stalk cutters have stell frames and can
stand the roughest.
We want to keep in olose touoh with the farmers and will always take
great pleasure in explaining every detail of the implements we sell.
It should be the chief aim of the progressive farmer to equip his farm
with implements and machinery that will minimise labor and at the same
time do the work in the best possible manner. We stand ready to co
operate with them in accomplishing this purpose. Call to seo us when
you come to Edgefield.

' USED UNIVERSALLY
WHEN Cortright Metal Shingles were first introduced (24' years
ago) you had some excuse for being sceptical:
But now
If you are sceptical it can only bc because you do not know the
facts in the case.
They are used today from the Atlantic to the Pacific for all kinds
of buildings, under all conditions.
They are fireproof, stormproof; never leak and last as long as the
building itself without needing repairs.
