truth Of this statement demonstrated.

contestants, to win or lose.
The double vote offer will be in
force six more days and those who are
taking advantage of 1t are the ones
who will be the winners. Some one
has said, I'VE will all get the same
number after this offer closes; SO
where is the dincerence?" But. sup
posing some one gets her votes during
the double vote offer and you wait I'M
til 1t Is closed to get yours, you will
have to get twice as many as che who
secures hers during the next six days.
Now 10 the best time to get votes.
Some of the contestants who have
heretofore occupied q less conspicu-
Gus position have, during the double
vote offer, come up among the lead
ere. And the ones who take advan-
tage Of their opportunities are the
ones the others should look out for,
because the ones who do that are al
ways the successful ones in every

BoRAx is NATURES MINE OF PUR-
Try FOR DAIRY UTENSILS.

BoraX is first, a cleanser that re-
moves dirt and grease with surprising
ease; second, it is a sweetener that
makes fragrant any surface that has
grown musty or stale from neglect;
third, it is an antiseptic or destroyer of
germs. 1t prevents the development
of bacteria or Inouldy growths. With
all this it is perfectly free from harm
in its resulting effects.
The farm churn is kept free from
that stale odor if it is washed with
borax in the following proportions
one tablespoonful of borax to a quart
of water.
The dairy room has nothing about it
but the pleasant aroma of fresh milk
and cream and sweet butter if it is
kept clean with borax. There will be
no soapy smell and no lurking hint of
something gone wrong.
The cream crooks take on an extra
freshness when washed with borax and
water in the following proportions
one tablespoonful of borax to quart OF
weter. This preserves the fresh flavor
of the cream.
The farm cream separator can be
kept thoroughly sweet and clean by a
wash of borax and water in the follow
ing proportions-one tablespoonful Of
borax to quart of water

HOW TO READ a Gas METER.
Here Is the Way to Keep Tab ON the
Amount Used.

Here Is the Way to Keep Tab on the
Amount Used.
Few of the thousands who pay gas
bills every month know how to read the
meter and fewer still know how to reg
ulate 1t So the bills will not be eAces-
sive.
You keep tab on the bills OF your Ice
man, your grocer and butcher; why not
on the gas company? Reading the gas
meter Is a simple matter when once I'M
derstood. II you will look at your me
ter you will see that there are four
disks or faces on the front. The top
one Is for the gas company to test and
ascertain II there is a leakage, so you
need pay no attention to it. The three
dials in a row underneath show the
amount of gas used and the little points
on these faces tell the story.
Each dial Is numbered from one to
ten. The dial on the right measures
gas by hundreds of feet The middle
dial measures it by thousands of feet,
and the left-hand dial measures it by
ten thousands of feet. In other words
every time a hundred feet of gas is
used the hand ON the right dial moves
one number. Every time the hand on
this dial goes completely around the
pointer on the middle dial registers
1000, and when the pointer on the mid
die dial has made complete revolution
the indicator on the left dial shows that
10000 cubic feet of gas have been meas
ured.
No matter how far past a figure the
dial may be that figure is taken unit
the next figure is actually passed.
Take this illustration: The left-hant
pointer is at five. Each division on thi'
