s Another suggestion I would make
would be to reform the police force.
London is the best policed city in the
world. Only Englishmen compose
the force. ~
ssThere's our lesson. Drive all the
foreigners off the police force, Put
Americans in command. Put only
Americans on guard sure enough
Americans. Then the laws would be
enforced. New York needs to study
how to police itself. Visitors are
shocked at the police laxity, impo-
Iiteness and ineficiency. To talk to

Household Hints.

A new use for potatoes. pata-
toes grated together in basin of
warm water are far better than soap
for washing delicate silk, flannel or
woolen goods.
A hint for the cook.-If, when bak-
ing, the oven should get to hot, place
a basin of cold water in it. This will
cool the oven, and the steam which
rises from the water will prevent the
contents from burning.
To remove oil stains from wood
Mix pipeclay and water together till
it forms stiff paste, and spread it
over the stain. If left till the next
day and then carefully removed, all
trace of the stain will have disappear
ed.
8 To remove coffee stains. : Rub
thoroughly with pure, clean glycerine;
this will remove stains caused by
coffee from woolen and other mater
ials. The place should be afterward
well washed with lukewarm water
and ironed on the wrong side till dry.
( To remove rust, ink and mildew
marks from white garments, nothing
is better than salt and lemon juice.
Moisten the salt with the juice and
spread over the stains, allow it to re-
main ON for a short time, and, if ne
cessary, repeat the process. Rinse
well .afterwardin clear water.
