to air can be put on hangers, rather

vents sagging or marking with clothes

Bric-a-brac containing mother-of-
pearl should never be cleaned with
soap and water. Instead, it should be
rubbed with a cloth dipped into whit
ing and water.
IT, when using lemon for havoring,
you need only half a one, put the
other half on a plate and cover with
a glass tumbler. This excludes the
air and prevents it from drying up or
getting moldy
If some of your country friends have
sents you a box of flowers that are the
worse for journey, do not throw
half of them out before plunging the
stems in hot water in which has been
put a few drops of ammonia.
Let the flowers stand in hot water
Nor about five minutes, then cut the
ends of the stems and pat them in
cold water The blossoms and
leaves will be found to be wonderfully
revived
Hair brushes should be cleansed al
ways once a week, if not oftener
Men, especially, are apt to neglect
this duty, not from untidiness, but be-
cause they have no time to think
about it. l know of one mother who
gathers up the combs and brushes of
her four sons regularly once week
and washes them in borax and water.
A dessertspoonful of borax to a quart
of hot water, she tells me, is the cor
rect proportion. The brushes should
always be rinsed afterward in clear
water and if possible set to dry in the
sun. Steam heat is apt to injure the
backs.
A woman who sews a great deal of
the time has found that her back does
not become SO tired if her chair is low,
or If she has a stool upon which to
rest her feet. 1t is surprising what a
difference the comfortable position
makes and how much more work she
can do. Should the arms become
weary she puts a cushion in her lap.
On this she rests her elbows, chang
ing the position of her sewing, thus
giving both arms and eyes a chance
to recover
Benzine is also good to clean the
keys of a piano, but denatured alcohol
is quite as satisfactory, and much
cheaper, besides not having a dis
agreeable odor. Make the rag just

too wet it runs into the cracks and

Spinach and Hot Water.

If housewives and cooks would only
remember to wash spinach in scalding
water, they would not only get it
much cleaner, but kill all insects and
worms which may happen to be cling
ting to the under part of the leaves.
Also the process is much quicker
one than when cold water is used, and
the spinach itself takes on a fresh
greenness that is unexpected consider
ing the temperature of the water. 1t
should not, however, be washed until
immediately before putting into the
saucepan.

CEMENT IN POULTRY HOUSES.
Its Use Makes the Cleaning of the
Poultry House an Easy Task

Cement is particularly adapted to
the construction of poultry houses, ex
cept, possibly, the floors. If the cement
is made smooth it will be easily
cleaned at all times, and a stream OF
water can be thrown onto it without
doing any injury. 1t is not harborer
of lice, mites or disease germs
In the form Of grout it is now being
used in the construction of the lower
parts of poultry houses, and can be
made of almost any thickness, where
stones are abundant When such
foundations are laid they are rat proof
and vermin proof. Usually they go so
deep into the ground that no animal
will burrow under them.
But with the use Of cement a man
must know his mind before the poul-
try house is constructed. Once con-
structed, it cannot be changed, as can
house made of boards, without de-
stroying the material out of which it is
composed.
But if man has SO carefully laid
his plans that he knows he will not
change his mind as to his plans he
can safely go ahead in the use Of
cement in his poultry house con-
struction, and the more of it used
the better.

TIC navy.
I approve the recommendations of the
general board for the increase Of the navy,
calling especial attention to the need of
additional destroyers and GOLFERS, and
above all of the four battleships. 1t is
desirable to complete as soon as possible
a squadron of eight battleships of the best
existing type. Nothing better for the navy
than the cruise of the battle fleet around
the world The improvement of the ships
in every way has been extraordinary, and
they have gained far more experience In
battle tactics than they would have gained
if they had stayed in the Atlantic waters
The American people have cause for pro-

excellent condition of the fleet as shown by
this cruise and In view of the Improvement

Merry Christmas
For the NeedV

Elaborate preparations are being
made by Adjutant Arthur A. Wilkins,
of the local Salvation army corps, for
the annual Christmas dinner for the
poor and needy of the city. Already
the baskets which will contain the
delicacies of the holiday season have
been secured, and boxes for the do
nations of the more prosperous have
been placed in the business houses.
Friday has been set as the day for
the appearance of the boiling pots"
on the street corners, and old Santa
will not be lacking.
1t is estimated that in the neigh
borhood of 40 boxes will be put out
this year by the local army workers
each box containing sufficient provis
ions for a family of six people, and
two chickens will be substituted for
the beef roast that was given last
year. 1t is requested that farmers or
others wishing to donate poultry TO
the cause, leave the gifts with Ad-
jutant Wilkins at Army headquarters,
West Alder street, or at his home, 704
West Poplar street.
An estimate of the cost of tI:e
Christmas program as mapped out by
Adjutant Wilkins will aggregate $3.50,
and in order that there may be no dis
appointments, it is desired that sub
scriptions be made as literally as pos
sible Each basket given out is 70
cost approximately SO, and as there
will be 40 of them, the cost of the
dinners alone will reach the 1920
mark. The tree to be at
Army barracks, 1T West Alder street,
has been estimated at $50, and hired
help and sundries have been listed at
$40.
In addition to the expenses incurred
for holiday cheer, Adjutant Wilkins
estimates that shoes and clothing will
be needed, as last year more than $40
was required to supply the needy with
clothing. Any cash that may be left
over after the holiday festivities are
closed, will be used in purchasing
and shoes.
