Cleaning the Bath Room.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's BaZar
To clean the bath room properly there
should always be bottle of household am
monia at hand, one of 40 per cent solution
of formaldehyde Or other good disinfectant
a couple of cloths, a longhandled brush
and a scrubbing brush. 1t is also well to
have a can of concentrated I've or one of
the preparations like it which will cut ac-
cumulations in waste pipes. The hand
basin, tub and closet should be secured
out each morning, the drain pipes flushed
twice week with water to which has been
added formaldehyde or the I've. The for
mer is admirable for removing stains and
deposits but If these are very obstinate the
formaldehyde must be left in the basin
over night The long-hand1ed brush ena-
bles the maid to clean the closet basin sat-
isfactorily. Ammonia on the cloth used in
washing the tub and basin will remove
greasy deposits. The nickel fittings and
woodwork must be wiped off. the soap
dishes and toothbrush racks washed. The
vessels used in the bed rooms must be
cleansed in the same manner, the water
pitchers rinsed out and filled fresh every
day, and the slop jars and eommodes scald-
ed daily.

EXPERT ON PRICES OF BEEF.
Advance Is Due to Laws Of Sup.
ply and Demand.

Philadelphia, Dec. 30.-'The members Of
the American Association for the Ad-
vancemeat OF Science. In convention here
to-day. listened to a paper read by Fred
erick c. Croxton OF the United States Blu
roau OF Labor. in which he accounted for
the advance In the price OF beef during
the last ten years.
He presented statistics in support of his
theory. giving the ratio OF the supply to
tho demand during the period covered by
his paper. He said IN part:
THE retail price OF fresh beef at the
present time is about 10 per cent above
tho average for the period from 1ssl to
1893 The margin between beef a. whole
sale and at retail is usually rather close
THE mos. difficult question encoun-
tered In a study Of beef prices Is that Of
supply. The estimates of the Bureau of
Statistics Of the Department OF Agrlc,il-
ture show an increase from 1880 to 1904 Of
15s per cent In tho number Of cattle in
the population increased about 80 per cent
and tho exports OF fresh beef Increased
129 per cent.
ut is possible that combinations Of
packers exist. which would doubtless OK
ert Il steadyirg influence on declining
prices. Or a conformation might be strong
enough to control to some extent the
prices OF cattle bought for slaughtering
or the supply of beef which would saeri-
ously affect the price to the consumer"
