A PRECAUTION.
How
to Act if You Are Suddenly
Thrown Into the Water.
Keep cool.
Do not feel nlurmed if your head
should sink below the surface once
or twice. You are bound to come to
tiie surface.
Keep your hands under the water.
Even though you do not swim you
are bound to float for a considerable
time, provided you keep your hands
below the surface. Most people drown
because directly they come to the sur
face tliey raise their hands above the
surface and shout for help.
Keep the mouth closed until the
body attains the floating position; then
try to breathe naturally through the
mouth.
Tropel yourself all you can with
your hands.
If you have any knowledge whatso
ever about swimming try to remove
your clothing. The longer you are in
the water the more water soaked it be
comes and the quicker you will siuk.
When help comes to you do just as
you are told, and, above all else, do
not attempt to seize hold of the swim
mer who is trying to aid you.

How to Bake In Boxe«.
Boxes of all descriptions may
profitably used for cake baking, as
they retain the moisture well. Tak
ing them out, you have the sides of
the cake straight and fine for icing.
In removing simply break down the
sides and leave on bottom. Bake fruit
cake with a lid on the box and layer
cake in large, shallow lids. Cookies
can also be baked this way. If any
housewife fails to find among her tins
exactly what she wants a trip to the
nearest grocer or confectioner will fill
her needs perfectly. The clean white
boxes are the best. Grease them well
and put extra greased ? or In the bot

How to Whiten Towels.
Ofttimes the towels become gray and
dingy looking. Treat them in this man

Place them in n kettle and cover with
cold water. Add shavings of pure
white soap and the juice of a lemon.
Place on the back of the stove and al
low the water to gradually come to a
boil. If very much soiled the process
may have to be repeated. Rinse in
tepid water, then in a slightly blue wa
ter, and hang in the air to dry.
