HINTS - HOW TO COOK HUSBANDS

 A good many husbands are spoiled by mismanagement in cooking and so are not tender and good. Some women go about it as though their husbands were bladders, and blow them up. Others keep theirs in hot water constantly. Some women keep friend husband in a stew by irritating ways and words. Others roast theirs.

In selecting a husband a girl should not be guided by silvery appearance as in buying a mackerel. The silvery appearance often wears off and is only on the surface. Be sure and select him yourself, as tastes differ, and the guy who pleases Sally might not please you.

Another thing, do not go to the market for him--the best always finds his way to your door.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS - BURNS

Apply castor oil thickly on burns, Then put soda on with fingers. If skin is broken, apply oil and soda to a soft gauze and bind the burn.

Another good help for burns is to apply steeped tea leaves and tea to a burn as quickly as possible after the injury is received. The tannic acid in the tea draws the fire and soothes the burn quickly.

**** DO YOU KNOW THAT

It's easy enough to be pleasant
    When life goes along like a song.
But the one worth while
    Is the one who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong?
