one. representing as it does men from the
various sections of the county. whose
good Judgment, experience and Integrity
are guarantee to the public. This con-
. fdence is shown by the uuquestioned au-
thorlty and liberty Of ac5I)n invested IN

else Of their official judgment for the
public good. Not only have they right OF

Cleaning Furs.

Now that the season has arrived for
getting out fur garments. some of our
readers will doubtless be glad to hear how
they can be cleaned and renovated.
In Russia, tue country of furs, some rye
-four is put into pot and heated upon
staye, with constant stirring as long as
the hand can bear the heat. The -four is
then spread over the fur and rubbed into
it, After this, the fuE Is brushed with
a very clean brush, or, better, is gently
beaten until all the -four is removed
The fur thus resumes its natural luster
and appears absolutely as if new.
