How to Renovate Furs.

When furs become worn or soiled at
the neck, they may be renovated by
gently rubbing with cotton batting sat
urated with gasoline, which should not
be used in a room that has artificial
heat or light, says The Ladies' Home
Journal. Axle grease, tar, paint and
pitch may be removed by rubbing first
with oil of turpentine and then with
ether. Dark furs may be cleaned with
fine cedar or mahogany sawdust which
has been heated in an oven. Alaska sa-
bic, seal, electric seal, fox, etc., should
be beaten with a switch until free from
dust. then laid with the fur side up
and the hot sawdust rubbed in. Be law
ish with the sawdust and vigorous
with the rubbing. After this place the
garment upon feather pillows with the
furry side down and beat well until all
traces of the sawdust have disappear
ed; then hang out in a shady place.
White furs may be cleaned in the same
way, using white cornmeal instead of
the sawdust or, if only slightly soiled,
by rubbing well with magnesia in
cakes. Wet furs should never be dried
near the fire, but shaken and hung
away in a cold room, then brushed

CHEW FOOD THOROUGHLY
How One May Eat Hot Bread with
out Fear of Dyspepsia


out Fear of Dyspepsia.
1t is a common thing to hear persons
say that they cannot eat this or that
because it does not agree with them.
The chances are that they could eat it
with impunity If they would only learn
to chew it. New bread and hot rolls are
two delicacies in point Few things
taste better, yet there are thousands of
persons who will hold up their hands
in horror and declare that they are the
most indigestible of stuff.
Yet there is absolutely no reason why
this should be true. Stale bread, con-
trary to the common belief, is not a bit
more digestible than fresh bread. But a
slice of stale bread on being broken
with the teeth resolves itself into more
or less hard and gritty particles which
it Is almost impossible to swallow until
they are softened by the saliva. The
particles irritate the throat and the gull
let until they are well moistened. The
fact is therefore that man is absolutely
compelled to masticate stale bread be-
fore he swallows it. This act, of course,
partially digests the bread and thus
makes it in fit state for digestion and
absorption farther on in the alimentary
tract. That is why stale bread appears
to be more digestible than new bread.
New bread is soft, doughty or plastic,
and there appears to be no necessity, to
soften it with saliva, hence it escapes
the preliminary digestive action. 1t is
in reality bolted, and boiling accounts
for dyspepsia. Hot rolls can be enjoyed
for breakfast withou. any fear Of dys-
pepsia so long as the bread is good and
so long as pains are taken to chew it
thoroughly.

those who honorably seek the high office
at your disposal. There is no fear that
you will approach the discharge of your
duty with other than conscientious mo-
aives and a sincere wish to name him who
will best serve the state and m aintain its
dignity and fair name in the councils of
the nation. recognize that yours is the
privilege as well as the duty and that to
your constituency only and not to the ex-
ecutive will you be answerable for your
acts.
The constitution of the United States
provides for the election of senators by
the legislatures of the different states. In
order that this method may be changed it
is necessary that it should be amended
and the manner in which such an amend
ment can be made is pointed out in that
instrument. Several legislatures have al
ready requested congress to call a con-
vention for proposing amendments. 9th
ers have memorialized congress itself to
propose such an amendment by adoption
by the requisite number of states. I would
respectfully recommend you to take one
or the other of the steps necessary to per-
nit of the election of United States sena-
tors by popular vote instead of their Sc
lection by the legislature, as now pro-
vided. FOSTER M. VOORHEES,.

CARE OF CHILDREN.
How the Baby Should Be TREATED
Things tn Avoid.

How the Baby Should Be Treated.
Things to Avoid.
Beware of trying to take the advice
and adopting the methods of all your
friends who have lately become ma
irons. inexperienced mothers are apt
to try too many plans, to their child's
detriment.
Beware of overlooking the baby and
running the digestive organs early in
life by giving them too much work to
do.
Beware of underfeeding the baby by
sticking too closely to system laid
down in some book that dictates just
SO much food at so many stated Pc
RODS of the day. Many children have
grown puny and weak by being ruled
by the method that has happened ia
prove successful for some other child.
Beware of breaking your promise to
children. They often remember better
great shock to them.
Beware of violent noises and rough
shakings or tossings in trying to amuse
the baby. They are hurtful to the
child and should be avoided as much as
possible.
Beware Of putting infants in sitting
posture until they are at least 8 months
old, when they will probably sit up of
their own accord. They should be car
ried fat in the arms when very young,
for if the little back is curved it may
lead to curvature of the spine or weak
chest.
Beware of a rough comb in caring for
the tender scalps. A proper comb for
the baby's head is one the teeth of
which are even and regular, with
points not too sharp, but smoothly
rounded. In selecting it, it should be
held up to the light to detect any
roughening or splitting of the teeth at
the sides.

How to sweeten staIe Jar.

Jars which have become stale should
be filed with hot soda water and left
to soak until clean. Even stale butter
or lard jars may be rendered sweet and
fresh if they are filled with hot lime
water and left while the water gradu-
ally cools. Remember that in cleaning
out an ordinary bottle or cruet, good
as are crumbied eggshells or shot for
the purpose, cut up raw potato is far
better. Cut the potato into very small
bits and put it into the bottle with
some warm water, shaking it about
rapidly until the bottle is clean.
