THE "NOSE FOR NEWS"

FTHHE highest compliment newspaper man can pay
another is to say he has good E'nose for news"
Many people in the profession and most people outside
Of it. do not know news' when they hear it. The
instinct may be acquired but generally speaking, one is
instance.
All of which is a preface for heart to heart talk
with the journal Junior reporters. The reports all
good every one-but better than Others and
the editor wants to explain why.
The reports this week nearly all ideal "news"
reports They not only tell what has happened but why
and how, and also who responsible A professional
reporter could hardly have done more.
When inexperienced grownup reporter is sent out
his first assignment, his instructions in writing up
his news-on The Journal at least-are to tell the
'What, When, Where, How, Why'' of it in the order
given. If Journal Junior reporters will follow the rule,
they will be surprised to what smooth and satisfactory
notes they write.

UTILIZING THE CELLAR IN WINTER

The cellar OF the modern country
home should be a dry. hygienic place,
where multitude Of things could be
safely stored, and at the same time il
should be utilized for purposes which
win add 10 the pleasure and profit of
the occupants The cellar has under
gone rapid evolutions in the past dozen
years and instead Of a wet un1oored
place. where disease germs were bred,
it is usually provided with a cement
or concrete bottom. brick walls and
plastered ceilings. With the heating
apparatus located in it the cellar is
kept from freezing in the coldest
weather and II can be made as clean
and sweet as desired
However, the cellar Is primarily in
tended for the storage OF certain per-
ishable articles which need a low tenn
perature, and IL is unwise to use IL
exclusively for other purposes. The
heating apparatus is very apt to make
the average cellar too warm for the
safe keeping Of fruits and vegetables.
and also for many dairy products. The
ideal place for keeping perishable goods
Of this nature should have cold. dry
temperature just above the freezing
point To obtain this at all seasons re-
quires a little foresight and prepara-
tlon.
The cellar of the modern should be
divided into at least three compart-
ments. One for coal and wood, which
need not be large. but the partitions
OF which should be so tight that coal
dust and ashes from the furnace cannot
escape TO other parts OF the cellar. The
second compartment should be for the
storage OF perishable goods. such as
winter fruits. vegetables. and butter.
cheese and eggs. This. in turn, should
be subdivided into separate compart-
ments for the dairy products and fruits

facilitate their efforts against the reform

case or not, however, the natural SUPPOSE
tion would be that the revelations con-
