HousehoId HELPS,

MANY are the uses of soda In the
household Add a small pinch to very
acid fruit, such as gooseberries, rhu-
barb and plums, and less sugar is re-
quired. says writer in the Wiscon-
sin Agriculturist. Add a little to the
water In which vegetables are cooked
and they will be much more sweet and
tender and little to meat. especially
If it has a suspicion of faint. 1t is
fine for the BATH and a good dentifrice,
and little in the dishwater makes the
use of soap unnecessary.
Too much washing of the painted
woodwork in the kitchen gives 1t a
dull shabby look If it is wipei off
with a cloth moistened in kerosene oil
1t will not only be clean but Will look
new and glossy.
Never scrape a burned baking dish.
Put in a little ashes and FIJI with wa
ter and the burnt substance will easily
wash off.
Raisins washed in hot water will
seed much more easily, and candied
lemon and orange peel should always
be warmed in the oven before 1t is cut
up.
Strain the cold tea and keep il to
wash the vanished furniture 1t does
not iniure the polished surface and
gives 1T fine gloss. Go over the
oiled floors with boiled oil and vinegar
in proportions of one part of oil to two
two parts Of vinegar.
Your windows Will never be clear If
you wash them in soapy water and let
them dry with the sun shining on them.
Wash windows on a cloudy day. dry
with soft cloth and polish with tissue
paper.
Cases for putting away silver knives
and forks should always be made of
unbleached goods. sulphur is used in
the bleaching and will tarnish the sill
YER
Flour, sugar and soda should always
be sifted before measuring. The sift-
ing livens the materials until they are
almost double their usual bulk.
Linoleums and oilclohhs that are laid
down where the sun is likely to shine
on them should have papers laid under
them TO prevent sticking to the floor.

SAVE IAE REIlCs.

This is a utilitarian country. We
make use Of things. Little that may be
turned into money is sacred. The log
cabin Of the pioneer was long ago
burned in modern stoves by later
generation. In Iowa, Nebraska and
Kansas, to seek for sod shanty would
/ be equivalent to hunting needle in a
alaysack. Still the sod shanty and the
settlers cabin were the birthplace of
the prosperous civilization of the mid
die west. We are careless of our relics
and needless of our landmarks
And yet thousands of Americans an
nually overrun another hemisphere
where the race was Graded The
treasures of Greece and Italy are the
relics Of ancient civilizations. the show
places and Meccas of Europe are light
ed by the torch of history. Men do not
cross an ocean so much to see other
peoples as to see the land where their
race was born and follow the traces
OF its growth and. development. Old
castles and cathedrals, the homes of
ancient art and the historic fields
where the current of the world was
changed and set toward liberty and
enlightment the relics and visible his
tory of human progress make up the
greatest charm and value of trip
abroad.
IT: at is time here In America that we
( began to protect and preserve the mile
stones of our development to save from
demolition and decay the relies that
century will invest with a peculiar sa-
credness We have made more history
in a decade than most nations have
\ done in hundred years Still, a man
may travel from sea TO sea, unable to
find the traces of the old among the
hurry and freshness of the new. 1t is
time that we began to care for the
Hbirthplaces of our greatest men, to
preserve the spots where history was
made. So much is due the labors of
the past and the demand of posterity.

THE WORLDS COAL SUPPLIES.

The well known German periodical,
Etall und Eisen, quotes optimistic fig
ures regarding the worlds supply of
coal. The showing is. particularly ia
vorable to Germany, whose deposits
are placed at 2S0,000,0 900 tons, which
+ will last, at the present rate of con-
sumption, couple Of thousand years.
and, III any case, making allowance for
probable increased demand, should suf-
flee till the year 5000. The other Eu-
ropear countries are given a less ia
& vorable position. The coal deposits Of
Great Britain and Ireland are placed
at about 10000. 100000 tons, ard, with
an annual consumption twice that Of
Germany, that country will have ex-
hausted that supply in less than 400
years The estimated coal deposits of
Belgium are s,OOO,0O0,OO0 tons, of
France 9,0oo,oO0,ooo, of Austria IT,
O0o,000,OOO, and of Russia 10000, 0oo,-
900. North Americas coal deposits are
estimated by the same authority at
$4,000 100000 tons. The total Of all
Europe, adding minor supplies to the
preceding figures, is placed at 100, 000,-
100000. But these gigantic figures are
said to be dwarfed by Asia's deposits,
which cannot at present be even APP
proximately estimated. China is sup
posed to possess inexhaustible supplies
of coal. Indeed, German scientist is
credited with estimating the deposits
in the province Of Shansi alone at L.

island Of sakhalin are also credited
with vast deposits of unestimated ex-

THE RAzORBACK.


H. J. Chaplin spent couple of
months in Kansas last fall. Henry was
in laxative mood the other day and
told of his observations. He gave the
following description of the hogs of
that state:
Arkansas has a greater variety of
hogs and less pork and lard than any
other state in the Union. An average
hog in Kansas weighs about fourteen
pounds dressed, with its head on, and
about six and one-half pounds with it's
head off. 1t can out run greyhound,
jump a rail fence. climb like parrot,
and live on grass and rabbit tracks
1t hasn't much tail or bristles but plen-
ty of gall. 1t will lick wolf or a bear
in fair fight. 1t is called razorback
because it is shaped like sunfish.
In hunting razorbacks they are always
shot at sideways, for there is not the
ghost of show to hit them otherwise

WORKING TOWARD THE PRIMARY
[Tipton Advertised
The disgraceful scenes which have
characterized caucuses and conven-
lions in many counties in Iowa would
have been impossible If the last legis-
lature had given the state a primary
law. Party primaries should be just
as sacred as elections, and members of
all parties should have an opportunity
to express their preferences for can

regulated by the law and primaries
regulated by rules made by partisan
