Young Harold Cambern, son OF
Mr.. and Mr.. Lon Cambern of Erie
died at the home of his parents,
Wednesday morning and was buried
10 the Erie cemetery, Thursday after
noon.
Harold was noble boy, universally
liked wherever known. Bright ener
jetic. joyous and sweet tempered, and
was the sunbeam of the household.
He was afflicted with the diabetis and
has been quite poorly for some time.
Everything that lOye could suggest
and money buy was done for the boy,
but all to no avail. Death laid his
cold hand upon him in his innocense
and youth and he is gone.
His life will ever be weet memory
to his relatives and friends. No one
ever spoke of Harold but with words
of praise and it is crushing blow to
D irents and brother and sisters that
one SO young and promising should be
taken so soon. Words of coincidence
and sympathy seem but solemn mock
cry. In their great grief. Time alone
can soothe this great sorrow. But
time will temper the pangs of grief and
make them more bearable. We would
not for a moment forget the lost
treasure, the sweetest thoughts Of
L e are the loved ones who have gone
Oh before,
The God who gave has claimed his
own before the concentrations Of this
" rid touched his spotess soul. We
would rather have had him this long
a I'd give him up and treasure the
veet memories of the past, than
never to have possessed him.

DENIM ON DUTY.

One Of the most favored summer
furnishings is denim, and, indeed, /,
is useful in many rooms all the year
round. AS every one knows, it comes
in all the effective plain colors. as
well as in various patterns, the mos:
attractive of which are heraldic, as 3
rule.
Its uses are simply Unlimited.
1t is strong. and it is effective, AMI
1t may be used for anything from
floor coverings to wall coverings. In
addition to this 1t makes admirable
hangings for windows or doors.
Since the floor Of the average sum.
mer retreat is poor, 1t should be GOV.
cred.
Mating comes. first to mind, as a
rule. But mating is bulky to trans.
port and more expensive.
Denim is easily managed, and in
cool green, wood brown. or Gobelia
blue, or other hue. is very agreeable
in every way. 1t is handsomest IN
a plain color. though some may pre-
fer a tiny figure.
Denim is often used for wainscot-
Ing, though this may be ;oo "ela5-
crate" IL the effect is very rough, as
it is likely to be in a mountain cabin.
For the summer cottage, though.
this Is not likely. And denim may
be used to cover the entire walls.
or 1t may serve for door and window
hangings. For doors it is especially
liked by those who have no wooden
doors. These extremists admit that
however breezy and charming may be
the doorless arrangement, a portierre
gives pleasing privacy at times.
Denim, too, is very useful for up-
holstering. and for rugs, and serves
IL town as we'll as at The seaside or
in the mountains.

TO CLEAN KNIFE BLADES.

Women who do their own work
very frequently dread the washing Of
the knives, and all too often neglect
cleansing them properly in conse.
quence. when. il only n little care was
exercised early I'm the dish washing
fray but little difficulty would be ex-
perienced. First. wipe OF the blades
of all knives with some soft paper,
then placing all Of them in n pitcher
pour some hot soda water upon them,
allowing it to come up just to the
handles. not above them.
Leave them until the other dishes
are done. and by that time the matter
of cleansing them will be of very little
moment. Wash singly and quickly in
clean suds, rinse and dry. A potato cut
in two is very simple cleanser for
knife blades, or use bath brick or
whiting. Ivory handles can he cleansed
by rubbing with little whiting.
Whiting. wet with alcohol. will clean
fruit spots from mother of pear!y ham
dies. Egg stains on silver knives are
best cleaned by wetting. dipping in fine
salt and rubbing with 4 wet cloth. In
TIE event of carving knives having
horn handles, 4 stiff brush. ammonia
and water is the best treatment. In
putting away silver knives that are not
to be used every day. 1t is good way
to wrap each one in soft tissue paper
first. This prevents furnishing.
