A gas escape can be stopped by rub

If you find gas is escaping open the

The sock Fad.

There's been a lot Of talk about
Tbs wonen's latest fad.
The style Of wearing socks so short
They'd barely suit a lad
Some men are saying It's a shame
That women thus ccnspire
And to their use appropriate
Things meant for male attire.
But when one thinks of other things
That women took for dress
tbs plainly seen that this new fad
Need cause no man distress.
For long ago the women donned
Hats made like those for men,
And when they wear1ed Of that fad
They started In again.
They took to shirts Of mannish style,
And. though that ceused surprise,
They promptly added mannish cuffs,
Mans collars and mans ties.
And when cold weather came along
Some thought they were not dressed
Unless they wore a mannish coat
As well as mannish vest.
They've broken into many sports
Man thought were all hts own,
And en- the field athletic girls
Their prowess oft have shown.
We've heard them at the baseball games
Join In the fang refrains,
And we have seen them promenade
While pertiy swinging canes.
So when we think of all these things
There's no excuse for shocks
Because the women have a fad
OF wearing half length socks.
Don't make a fuss about the style,
Don't say that It's a shame,
For no odds what the fair ones wear
They're charming Just the same.

WORTH KNOWING.

HOW 90 Keep Various Household Ar
ticles In Good Condition.
Oilcloth should never be washed with
hot water, says the Boston Globe. Wipe
It first with a cloth wrung out of cold
water, turning the cloth and r1nsing
as 1t gets dirty. Then polish with bees
wax and turpent1ne and soft busters.
Oilcloth that is treated in this way
once week and rubbed well after
sweeping with soft cloth on other
days always looks well.
Curtain rods that are very shabby
can be freshened by painting with a
coat of enamel of whatever color Is the
predominat1ng note IN the room.
Bamboo furniture should be scrubbed
with cold water and salt Don't make
wetter than is absolutely necessary,
and dry in the open air as soon as pos

then rub well with a flannel slightly
moistened with sweet oil. Use as little
oil as possible Polish with soft buster
and then with chamois leather.
For knife handles that have become
loose take equal parts Of rosin and
quicklime, well mix, half fill the hole,
heat the handle end Of the blade and
insert 1t In the hole. When cold It will
be perfectly firm again.
A cake Of hard soap rubbed ON the
edges of drawers that won't run will
induce them to pull in and out quite
easily.
A paste made of plaster of paris and
well beaten white of egg will mend val
liable china, so that the joint is hardly
visible. But 1t must be washed quite
clean first
Ink spots ON polished wood should be
touched with sweet spirits of inter. Use
a tiny camel's hair brush or feather to
apply 1t, and rub the spot directly after
with cloth dipped in sweet oil.

How 70 Renovate Feathers.


For every five pounds of feathers use
one-half cupful of borax for about eight
gallons of cold water. Put the borax
and water in boiler imnerse the
feathers and weight down; boil for four
hours then drain out the feathers,
spreading out somewhat. When cool
enough to handle squeeze dry as pos
sible by handfuls, put into cases and
fasten by one end TO the ciothesline In
the shade. Sun should not shine on
feathers, for it starts the grease In the
quilts. Thoroughly pummel and shake
the pillows three or four times a day
until dry, changing ends every time
they are rehung Three or four breezy,
drying days VIII find them thoroughly
dry and clean.

How 20 sveep.

There are In the doing of little things,
even in housewoIk, right way and q
wrong way a good way and bad

of sweeping with a broom. The next

Stand with the broom rather behind

In this way you Will find that the dust
rises no higher than the brush; that 10
fact, little rises, but Is gradually moved

get what they are looking fora lot
of good administers. They have
learned there are many men in the

they will never see any more active

Chinese officials have been sending
agents into the archipelago Offering
subalterns commissions in the vice
regal and imperial armies. They have
been offering sergeants' commissions
Their offers have been accepted by, 1t
Is estimated, several dozen youngsters
who would rather continue the free

to the United States and settle down to
the humdrum of civil life. These
Americans are wanted chiefly for the
purpose of drilling the Cinnamon under
enlistment in the various armies.
