The Canning Factory.

Up to Monday, the Brookhaven Can
ming Factory had put up 1900 cans of
beans, which about equals the total
amount of canning of all kinds of veg
etables for the two preceding seasons.
Most of the beans, too, were furnished
by three truckers. The canning of
tomatoes and okra will begin very soon.
Mr.. Moore, the superintendent, says
he expects to can 500 cases of okra and
1900 cases of tomatoes, possibly more,
before the season closes. A case con
tains "a cans. This is a most encour-
aging showing for this growing young

Half pound of boray is sufficient to
soften ten gallons of warm water. It
not only saves labor, but it saves soap.
Dissolve the boraX in the water. If
the water is soft, use only half the
quantity of borax given. Shake out
the soiled garments loosely, rub soap
on the specially soiled parts, and m
merse them in the borax and water.
After stirring them thoroughly let
them lie over night In the morning lift
the pieces out one by one and rub them
on the board. Throw them into boil
er of cold water, in which half pound
of dissolved soap has been stirred. Let
the clothes boil at once in the boiler.
then lift them out and rinse them in
cold water. Add teaspoonful of DO
rax to every gallon of water used in
the rinsing.

How TO Test Paris Green.

Paris green is generally favored as an
arsenical poison by entomologists in
preference to London purple, because
it is of more even compositions and easily
tested. Pure Paris green when dropped
into common ammonia will entirely dis
solve, leaving clear, dark blue liquid,
not green, like the color of the powder.
If any sediment remains, this is some
form of adulteration, and therefore
represents an impurity. Chrome-green,
which might be used to adulterate
Paris green, will give the liquid a
dirty green color, and will deposit a
bright yellow sediment in the bottom
OF the vial. London purple is just as
effective, provided it is of good quail.

termined by chemical analysis

AN IDEA FROM WISCONSIN.

state will be divided into districts, CO.
extensive with the political divisions
set apart for the election of state as
semblymen. Each of these districts
will be in charge of captain, who will
see to it that his lieutenants obtain the
signatures of every citizen who is inter
ested in road improvement. 1t is pro-
posed to have each assemblyman head
the list in his respective district, so that
the Legislature will simply be petition
ing itself.
Every wheelman and wheelwoman
who signs the petition agrees to give
one dollar for road building as soon as
the state has made the appropriation.
When the monstrous petition is COM
pleted, it is proposed to have 1000
wheelmen visit the state capital and
present the document to the legislature
in support of good roads bill. Of
course the local centurions in all the
towns will lead their respective dele
cations to the capital. AS an aid to the
enterprise, State Centurion Marshall
has caused to be made a sketch of the
state in outline, with the proposed road
ways running through it. A cut of the
design is published herewith, and it
will be used on the backs of envelopes
by all enthusiastic cyclists and their
business friends. Speaking of the pro-
ject, State Centurion Marshall said:
Members of the Wisconsin division
have long realized that only by active
work could anything be accomplished
in the way of road improvements. In
such an enterprise we are dealing with
politicians and the only way to treat
with politician is to allow him to
J make no promises. Performance is the
thing, and we propose to make the pol
| iticians perform. All the talk in the
world would not build mile Of road.
What you need is sand, and perhaps
gravel, not to disdain a few rocks to
help out the plan.
81 have realized all along what a
great task this is, but think it can be
accomplished. Our petition cannot be
ignored by the legislature, when it is
signed by all the members before it is
presented. 1t takes nervy politician
TO deny his own signature. We who
ride only on the highways are compe-
tent to judge of what is needed. We
propose to give dollar for dollar with
the state, and shame the common.

The design have made is for use on the
backs of envelopes, and we want all the
members of the legislature to begin us
ing these designs, even if we have t.
present them with their stationery. We
do not expect to do much talking about
this matter, except where it will pro
mote the project. What we need more
than anything else is little action

ABOUT BLACkHEADS.
Cure for Them Consists Entirely In
Thorough bathing.

So many letters relative to black
heads have been received during the
last two months that few words about
these disagreeable disfigurements
would seem especially helpful.
The skin is continually giving of
perspiration which is acid. This acid
coming in contact with the oily sub
stance thrown off by the sebaceous
glands forms a substance which, If not
removed by proper bathing, chokes the
pores. Dust settling in these pores,
blackheads are formed. The pores are
enlarged, the skin becomes irritatedi
and Inflammation results III pimples or
small sized boils. The reason these APP
pear more frequently on the face and
neck than any other portion of the body
is quite evident. Next to the hands,
they are more exposed, and being
washed less frequently than the hands,
are more liable to retain deposits OF
dust.
AS to the cure, it consists entirely in
thorough bathing. Many persons never
thoroughly wash their faces. This may
seem broad assertion, but it is never
theless true, and fault of which wom-
en- are, as a rule, more often guilty
than their less particular but more sen.
sible brothers, husbands and fathers.
The reason appears to be the dread
women have of running their skins by
the use of soap. Now soap is absolutely
essential for properly cleansing the
face, and should be used at least once
every "a hours. When soap is used
warm water is better, providing, OF
course, that the face is thoroughly
washed afterwards with cold water tc
counterfeit the relaxing effect of the
warm water on the skin. Of course
where persons are very much exposed
to dust the face should be washed with
soap more than once, care always being
taken to thoroughly rinse off the soap
This is one point to be remembered. II
is the improper rinsing of the face and
not the use of soap that Injuries the skin
In instances where blackheads have al
ready formed and appear hard to re-
move by the use Of soap and warm wa
ter, it is well to supplement soft fiesf
brush. This should be used on the
