USES OF PARAFFIN.
@Ow 1t Aids the Housekeeper IN the
Practice of Economy.

No product of petroleum has q great
er variety of household uses than re-
fined paraffin. This is because II ex-
GELS any other known product In the
ideal quality of its service and its econ
omy of price.
AS housekeepers become acquainted
with its virtues they find that nothing
else is as clean or as pure or as taste
less or as odorless. Moreover, 1t Is not
affected by air, acid or water.
Prominent among the many uses to
which it is now applied are for sealing
cans in preserving fruits and jellies, in
laundry by rubbing on irons and mix
ing with hot starch, for coating wood
en- vessels, preserving eggs, flowers and
autumn leaves, for polishing floors and
making wax flowers.
In sealing cans the paraffin wax
should be melted and q layer about
one-eighth Of an inch thick poured over
the top of the preserve. allowing 10 to
stand until the parattin becomes hard,
when it will form sealing absolutely
alright. No other covering Is necessa-
ry. When the preserve Is to be used,
the paratfin should be loosened by run
ming a knife around the edge, after
which the wax can be easily removed.
Jellies and fruits sealed In this manner
retain their natural delicious fiavors
and are effectually protected against
mold and insects.
In scaling bottles the cork should
be forced into the neck of the bottle in
order TO form shallow cup on the top.
Then fill this cup with melted parafin,
allowing ii TO harden.
In the laundry about One-half tea
cup Of paraftln shavings put into boil
er of hot water gives a dainty white
ness to the linen and other wash fab
rics. 1t will not injure the most deli
cate fabrics, and by its use the family
washing can be done in about one-half
the usual time, and 1t saves the neces-
sity of hard rubbing and scrubbing.
Irons can be kept smooth, bright and
clean by rubbing them on a piece OF
paraffin covered with muslin, and q
luster Will be given to the linen by
mixing a small piece OF paraftin with
the hot starch Laundry tubs, ice cream
freeZers-in fact, all wooden vessels
when coated with paraffin-will last
much longer than ordinarily.-Houss-

encouragement to Forest Planting.


Many farmers throughout Indiana
are unacquainted with the provisions
of the forestry law passed by the last
legislature. by which woodlands and
tracts planted with forest trees are
practically exempt from taxation. One
hundred and seventy trees, large and
smah, are required upon each acre so
exempted. Thickets and small growths
are encouraged to perpetuate the for
ests of the state. Timber has become
so scarce In Indiana and many other
states that Il is necessary for land
owners to provide for a future supply,
and the Indiana law encourages this
effort Of the farmers.
Every farm has some portion which
may be planted with quick growing
trees, making wood park, serving as
a windbreak and in few years pro-
ducing fenceposts, fuel, poles and tim
ber for farm uses as wei as Offering
logs for lumber. cross ties for railways
and poles for the many electric rail-
ways and telephones. The Indiana For
estry association has printed a number
OF booklets upon this subject. The ca
talpa is recommended for planting in
the middle states, being Of remarkably
rapid growth, extremely durable for
posts and cross ties and making a val
liable lumber for building purposes and
furniture uses.

RULES FOR HEALTH.

Cow to Keep Well According TO DE-.
schweninEer.
Let parents make 1t their chief care
to build up for their children sound
body, a body capable alike of work and
Of enjoyment. AS soon as a child is old
enough to help building up his or her
body let him or her take a hand in II.
Teach the young that soundness Of
body and mind Is the main thing in
life, that without this boon nothing
really counts. Give the sound body
plenty of exercise, but don't overwork
1t either in point of enjoyment or in
point Of business.
If at one time or another you have
Overworked your body, don't worry
about it, but guard against repetition.
Repetition leads to bad habits.
Be Independent. Don't do things be.
cause you see other people do them.
Admire courage and practice it. tt.

be allowed to get in or hurt It,
Remember that it's your own faults
that count most.
Don't think that good health comes
as a present to you or that you will re-
cover from Illness owing to some Oc
cult influences. To have and to hold
good health you must work for 1t,
strive for it.
If you want the physician to help
you, you must help the physician. You
must work hand in hand with him.
Don't forget that it's yourself who
decides upon soundness and i'll health
Of your body. If you are unwilling to
assist your physician, you rob him OF
the most important factor in medicine.
Don't become a slave to habit
Let your body and soul live in harmo-
ny together.

Yacht Racing Acrsss the Ocean.

According to advlces received by q
prominent New York yachtsman, the
two English racing yachts Ailsa and
Eelin, recently bought abroad for two
American yachtsmen, are racing across
the Atlantic. 1t was not generally un-
derstood that the yachts were to make
a race of the trip to this side, as they
did not leave their home ports within
several days of each other.
The Ailsa, which had left Southamp-
ton several days In advance Of the
Eeln. put into the port Of Penzance
ostensibly to repair some of her head
sails. Promptly on time the Eelin ap-
peared and put into Falmouth, where
she alleged she needed slight refitting
before proceeding on her way.
The shippers of the two boats were
seen frequently together before the
yachts again sailed. According to the
agreement, both yachts put out late In
April and when last seen had caught
up with each other and were having II

Gloves FOR summer.

White gloves have been In regular
fashionable standing for II years now,
and by all signs and omens for reading
the future they are good for another
dozen years of modish patronage. Very
heavy cream white dOgskin gloves are
the choicest dress for the hands In the
morning. These boast one button, not
Of the patent clasp variety, and be-
cause they are of the shape and color
and easy wrinkled fit of those worn by
the smart Jehus who adorn the boxes
Of handsome private carriages they
pass under the very descriptive title Of
coachman's gloves, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
There is a gun metal gray glace glove
stitched in white or silk of the same
shade as the kid and fastens with large
silver buttons that struggles with some
success for recognition among the well
gowned shoppers, who call them coach
ing gloves. In reality they are meant
for wear on the box seat of trap, and
because every woman does something
more or less athletic these days the
morning gloves are as loose as the skin
on high bred dogs back.
