really no question at issue which can
not be settled without recourse to
arms, provided the negotiating parties
are disposed to use diplomacy rather
than the sword. The embassy has re-

An invigorating tonic bath is pre-
pared by soaking several slices of lem

Varnish stains on the hands should
be rubbed with little methylated

A little cold cream put on with face
rag or soft cloth is good substitute
for soap and water. 1t keeps the skin
smooth and soft, at the same time
cleansing it effectively.
For q mouth wash take q teaspoon

A Glenn Sink.

When l first set up housekeeping,
resolved to have a sink that was "clear
enough to eat out Of" says a writer in
Good Housekeeping. At first this
seemed almost impossible. because of
the SCOT from the kettles and the
scraps from the dishwater. But
bought two wire meat racks, a funne!
which fitted exactly into the drain and
a strainer Which fitted exactly into the
funnel. The strainer should be Of tin,
as the wire gauze is too fine and does
not wear well. The meat racks should
have little legs at the corners which
keep them well above the surface of
the sink. All the pots, kettles, etc.,
even to the dishpan, are set on these
gratings, and all the dishwater is
poured into the strainer when the dish
es are done. l empty the scraps from
the strainer, and with a fresh pan of
hot water 1 rinse off the CRATES and
the funnel, wipe them, tip my water in
the sink, and with few strokes of a
small brush the sink is immaculate.
