Keen Old Strainers

Don't throw away your old coffee
strainer. Hang it over the sink and
use, when emptying tea or coffee pot,
to catch the tea leaves or coffee
grounds, which can be then emptied
on to a paper and put in to garbage.
A strainer about three or three and
one-half inches in diameter is suitable
for this purpose.

Word comes from abroad that Mrs.

Hardening an ordinary drill in sul.
phuric acid, states the English Me-
chanic, makes an edge that will cut
tempered steel or facilitate cutting
hard rock. The acid should be poured
into a flat-bottomed vessel to a depth
of about one-eighth of an inch, The
point of the drill is heated to dull
cherry red, and dipped in the acid to
that depth This makes the point
extremely hard, while the remainder
remains soft. If the point breaks, re-

SINS OF OMISSION.

1t seems that no matter how hard
an editor may try to get every bit of
news into his paper. it is practically
certain that he will leave undone
those things which he ought to have
done. Last week the fourteen pages
of the Review were fairly OVERLOOKING
with news. but nevertheless several
matters were omitted some Of which
the editor greatly regrets. The most
important of these was the neglect to
mention the opening of the hospital
to the public on Sunday last and the
invitation to assist in the Linen
Shower for the institution on Monday.
The hospital management was much
disappointed as it was felt that in no
other way could the people be so
effectively reached. The Review has
always felt the kindliest possible in
terest in the hospital and has done all
that it could to promote its welfare.
1t was thus a great disappointment
to us that mention of the opening was
omitted in the rush of work on Tues
day.
We also forgot to mention the
Ladies Night" to be given by the
Commercial Club the first Monday in
April. The club members will try to
show the ladies a royal good time.
This meeting will be exclusively for
members of the club and their ladies'.
Although mentioned in our kiron
CORE spondence. there was no mention
in our local news of the return of
Swan johnson. from his visit to Swed-
en-. After delightful visit Mr.. John
son has returned, more in love than
ever with the land of his adoption.

Sins Of Commission.
These are so many that the busy
editor hardly has time to apologize.
They are inevitable and the best one
can do as rule is to say nothing and
try to avoid them in future. Last
week comical mistake was made
by our ad. man however. In setting
the advertisement of DR.. Weber the
wrong cut was used and Fred Soehl
was pictured as the unfortunate youth.
born without tear ducts. So far as we
know Fred's tear ducts have always
been in good working order. though
we hope for his sake he has little oc-
casion to use them. Fred seems to be
particularly unfortunate in print.
Some years ago this paper reported
his death at Manning, but he came
up smiling to give US the lie. Hav-
ing forgiven US for murder. we throw
ourselves with confidence on his mercy
in so small matter as the loss of a
few tear ducts.
After all however last weeks Re-
view was great big fourteen page

such papers can but benefit the entire
