Grease stains on a kitchen floor are
difficult to remove by ordinary means
but they will generally come out with
a hot solution of potash. If one appli-
cation is not enough. use second or
even a third. Sometimes the solution,
if the wood is very white. will leave
yeIlowish STAN. To avoid this, mix
some lime with the solution, until a
thick paste is formed. Let the paste
remain on the floor at least twelve
hours. 1t is better to use weak solu-
tion of salsoda and fuller's earth on
very nice floors.

Few things clog in a waste pipe so
readily as lint Old scrub cloths and
wash cloths are apt to shed lint and
thread. These going down the waste
pipes with refuse water are apt to cling
and twist around the joints. They at
tach to themselves all small particles
that but for them would pass through
to the sewer, thus in time clogging up
the pipe. Well worn, linty scrubbing
cloths should not be used in house
where there is plumbing. Dishcloths,
also. as soon as they become Unity,
should be destroyed. Washtubs are
apt to become either wholly or partial
from the articles washed in them. Be-
cause the refuse pipe of the sink is
large, tealeaves and coffee grounds are
often disposed of by emptying them
down it. There are great many cases
where no harm ever results from this
practice, but it is better not to do it,
In household where the sink became
stopped recently the plumbers, when
they took the pipes to pieces, found
the trouble due entirely to the gradual
accumulation of coffee and tea grounds.
Before the repairs were completed the
plumbers bill amounted to a consider
able sum.
Grease fro,l dishwater is also apt to
accumulate in time and harden in
the pipes. After pouring greasy water
or anything that has grease particles in

salsoda after it. Cold water careless
Iy thrown down helps to harden the
grease chat has gone before it.

HOUSEHOLD TALKS

When washing fine china dishes. do
not place them one upon another after
whipping them. Piling plates and sauc-
ers together while they are warm IS
apt to crack the glaze. Therefore,
spread them out to cool off before put
ting them in the closet. 1t requires
some care to wash cut glass thorough
ly. apply the water with a soft brush
and wipe the glass with fine towel.
Particular housewives use SawduSt
from a non-resinous wood, such
as box Or bass wood, In the
drying process. 1t cleans out all
the corners and crevices that can
not be reached with a towel. After
wiping it, place the glass in bed OF
the sawdust and allow it to remain
about half an hour. Spread the saw
dust out to dry after using it. If this
Is done it can be used any number OF
times. After taking the glassware from
the sawdust, whisk it off with soft
brush and polish with a cloth.

the cream and almonds. This rule will
make over two quarts of ice cream.

REV B. F. ROOT
Did Good Work For Third Church For the Past
 Five Years.

Rev Benjamin F. Root, who has been pastor of the Third Congregations al church the past five years, may an- nounce his intention of resigning at the services next Sunday. It is said that he has decided to give up his po- sition for the present because of poor health. MT Root was not at home dur ing the day and the'people at the Clark homestead, where the minister lives. could not state where he could be found. Five years ago the coming March Mir Root succeeded Rev Mir Granger as pastor of the Third church, and from that time he has done ex- cellent work for the parish. He has taken more than ordinary interest in the work of his parishioners and hns grown to be very popular among his congregation, who will undoubtedly be much grleved to hear that he Is plan- ing to resign. He has placed the church on better working basis than it ever has been before and has paid off much of the debt on the church property. Recently he organized the Young Mems society of the Third church for the purpose of bringing the younger members of the parish togeth- CT, and the organization will sadly
 miss its founder. Mir Roots wife has not been in good health for some time.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
Thirty-0ne Substitutes and About
 Every One Employed.

A report that number of married women, former school teachers, were employed in the schools as substitutes while a number of girls on the wait ing list who are more entitled to the positions were ignored, discl0ses a rather strange situation in the depart ment of education. Commissioner Phe- Ian when asked about this matter said that so far as he knew no subst:- tute was sighted for the advancement of others and particularly for former school teachers now married.
 "The fact is,' said the commissions CT, ''tha't the schools are very hard up for substitutes. I don't think they were ever so much so, and everyone who can teach, that is married women who formerly were teachers, are taken on. I believe that in some few cases it was found necessary to put on girl graduates of the High school Of course they were not kept only until regular substitutes were found
 "There are about 250 teachers in tile schools and 31 substitutes. Most of the latter are teaching in the suburban schools. but a great many are engaged ill out of town schools, Hartford, New Haven, Newark, N. J., and even in Philadelphia. As long as these girls are paid as much in bigger cities as they would receive here, they will hardly come here to teach. for they may think they see better opportuni- ties there.
 
 "The waiting list of teachers is ex- hausted and as there is an average de- mand for eight substitutes every day, you can see the difficulty of obtaining them. So far as I know there are no substitutes waiting for places these days, for as have already stated ev- cry person who is entitled to teach is engaged to do sn'
 Commissioner Phelan was asked If he knew of any cure for this state of affairs and he said he did not. 1t was a situation where the demand merely exceeded the supply of substi- tutpS

DRY GOODS SALES
Women Were Out in Force To-day
 Taking in Bargains.

Business is lively in some of the stores just now, especially in the big dry goods houses of Reid & Hughes, Grieye. Bisset X Hollands and Cur rams. wlere special sales are being conducted and crowds of people from all parts of the city and From neigh. boring towns are docking to take ad- vantage of the cut in prices.
 The CurranS are rushed meeting the demands made upon them at the annual clearance sale and judging by the number of people going In and out the stock must be large else 1t would have disappeared before now. The variety of things offered for sale and the remarkably low prices put upon them makes it profitable to buy in large quantities and many wait for these sales. The company never had such display of everything in its line and the prices have set house. keepers to talking.
 The annual January sale at Grieve, Bisset X Hollands is another mecca for sharp buyers and people who were about the place to-day and were not aware of the great mark down in prices wondered what 1t all meant. The women folks knew their busi- ness and many of them were on hand early and laid supply of dry goods and other articles away which will last them until fortune throws some thing else of this kind in their way. The store has q magnificent display of goods and the women say the prices are right, and when you hear this 1t is safe to predict that it must be so.
 At the store of Reid x Hughes the annual Mill End sale, under the direc- tion of MT Lockhart which has been feature in the dry goods business in Waterbury for some time past, is now on and appears to be attracting even greater attention than ever before. People want to see the bargains and after they get their eyes on them they usually want to take them home with them. No doubt this accounts for the rush about the place today, and the unusual activity displayed on the part of everybody connected with the firm 10 cater to the tastes of the different people that crowd LID to the counters ill the several departments and cheerfully offer their money in exchange for such things as the man. agement has provided for the trade.
 This mad scramble about the dry goods houses has accustomed some comment in other lines of business, some claiming that everything else is at a standstill and nobody is doing anything but talking about it. But this may be overstating the facts, for 1t is but fair to assume that all are doing something but it cannot be de- nied that the three firms mentioned are on everybody's lips this week.

CAPOBlANC0'S CASE
Verdict of Guilty Boesnss Hs W" q
 Italian.

In his remarks to Governor Roberts in the capitol yesterday for a repriaye in the case of Ciriaco Capobianco, As sistant States Attorney Kellogg stat ed that there was no objection on his part to granting a repreve, and At torney General King said he had no objection either.
 Attorney O'Neill. counsel for the condemned man, stated that in his opinion a verdict of guilty would not have been given by the jury if the ac- cused had not been an Italian. He said he wanted the reprieve to extend a sufficient length of time so that the man could have chance of presenting his case to the board of pardons, III the event of the supreme court deny ing his appeal from the sentence of death. Attorney Kellogg said he har no objection to this either. T should not want,' said he, Ito deprive man of any of his rights, especially ln j case as serious as this is.' He said that the appeal could be heard by the supreme court at the next session which will be held in Hartford, the first judicial district. Executive Sec retary F. NJ. Day stated that perhaps Chief Justice Torrance may not as sign the case for hearing then, to which Attorney O'Neill said the chief justice could not help himself in the case. because of law which provides for Waterbury cases being heard in the first judicial district. He had no doubts about the result of the hearing then. and that if there had not been so much talk in Waterbury about mak- ing an example of some Italians be- cause of the violence committed here, the verdict would not have been for murder in the first degree. Further more, it was question if the murder was premedltated and there was some thing to be said also on account of the accused's youth.
 Attorney Kellogg again said he had no objection to a reprieve being grant ed and Governor Roberts accordingly granted reprieye to June 28.
