Bedroom Improvement
Story of Mrs. F. Lanier
My bedroom is located on the sooth
and west side of the house. The size
of this room is 14 by 10 ft. It has
two windows, one on the south wall
the other on the west. Two big doors,
one on the east and the other on
the north. The room had one small
closet.
The furniture of my room consists
of a bed, vanity dresser, chest cf
drawers and a rocking chair.
With this I began to plan just how
I could improve it with as little ex-
pense as possible. The first thing i
did was to make a candlewick bed-
spread. I ordered unbleached sheeting
* ■—3 Mi yards of 90 inch material, a
cost of $1.33. One of the cooperators,
Mrs. A. D. Martin, and I stamped it,
using an all over design of the sizes
of circles. We used circles of card
board and knotched it where each
tuft should be, then we stamped in
onto the spread. We made a dot in-
stead of drawing a complete circle
line.
White, double tufts were used in
making the circles and green double
tufts were used in the centers. The
club was making a spread to sell and
had some white thread left which
they gave to me. So the thread coit
me only $1.40, making the 3piead
cost $2.73.
I put new ticking on my pillows at
a cost °f 55c. I had some yellow cam-
bric material on hand so I got enough
> solid yellow print to use with this to
make a mattress protector, using
the cambric for the bottom side, the
sol:d for top and flap—this cost 90c.
I didn't know how much material
it would take for mattress protector,
so I had enough left for one p'llow
protector by piecing it on the side. I
then decided 1 would ,get enough of

THE BEST SUBSTITUTE WORD FOR

Denton, July 20—- Even though the
weather is not exactly ideal for can-
ning, preserves anil jellies on the
breakfast table next winter are worth
suffering through a little heat for
now. Peaches and berries are the
most common f'uits available now.
To Can Berries: There are three
different methods which work sui'
cessfully, but the open-kettle way is
simplest and quickest. Sterilize jai
and leave them in hot water until
time to use. Sort the berries, which
have been picked into shallow pans
to prevent crushing, and retain only
the sound fruit. Wash in colander
and remove the hulls.
Put 5 or 6 quarts of berries into a
10-quart kettle, add 1 cup water, and
add 12 cup of sugar to each quart of
berries. Do not allow sugar to settle
in bottom of kettle. Cook from 10 to
20 minutes, until su,gar is dissolved
and fruit is heated throughout.
F 11 the sterilized jars w'th hot
fruit, remove any air bubbles by run-
ning a knife down side of jar, add
liquid to fill jar to overflowing, and
place the top on quickly, making sure
