An Example OF Protection

Before the Dingley law, cast iron

water works, sold for $3.50 per ton
Then the United States Iron Pipe Co.,
the trust was formed, and the people
of Savannah paid $41.50 per ton
Savannah and every tax payer in it for
twenty years will help pay for this

PUSSY CAT IS VALUABLE:
COWS SKIN FOR AUTO COATS

Dear little pussy. her coat is 80
warm"
And so is the coat which her coat
makes. for pussy has at last found a
reason for being. in addition to her
hereditary duty of catching mice and
lending her comfortable presence as a
ilreside companion. It is true that the
old fashioned, long black mantle worn
50 years g was invariably lined with
a certain homely fur Of mottled gray
and white. called by some irreverent
persons back alley cat fur out beauti-
full automobile coats are now made
from the humble pelt of pussy. These
coats are reasonable in price, and ba-
they are exceedingly warm and
handsome in appearance they are be-
coming inordinately popular. not only
for automobiling, but for general e
Never was there such a demand for
fur as now. Nothing with any pre-
tension to fuzzy pelt is safe from the
ravages Of the fur dealers. Rabbits
and squirrels are slain to make coats
and muffs. and that soft and becoming
fur known as ''coney'' is simply rabbit.
Squirrel coats were especially fashion
able a year or 80 ago. They were made
in stylish cuts and. like the catskin
coats. were both warm and inexpensive.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
PROPER VENTILATION.

There is nothing more important than
proper ventilation of a room. A VEN
tilator placed at the ceiling makes it
possible to air the room without drafts,
especially If there is a wind or rain
storm raging outside. The use of ven
tilators in private houses is still in it's
infancy. Only a few houses have them,
even in the kitchen. where they are es-
pecially to be desired. The need Of a
well ventilated space, whether pantry,
closet or passage between the kitchen
and the rest Of the house is being rec
ognized by architects. A new house is
rarely found nowadays that has the
kitchen opening directly into the rest Of
the house.
Odors from the kitchen are not the
only mes to be guarded against, how
v Many furnishings and floor cover
ings have odors. more or less unpleasant.
This is one of the most serious objec-
lions to cheap materials; they are rare
ly odorless. Even If the odor is not
disagreeable, the presence Of any odor
not a distinct pleasure gives a cheap
atmosphere to a house. There is no
reason why the dor of moth balls or
gasoline should be endured whe n proper
ventilation will remove them.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE.

Hang oranges and lemons in wire
baskets Inc they will keep fresh much
longer.
Pare potatoes and cover with cold
water for an hour before cooking, and
they will be less liable to turn dark
after they are boiled.
When boiling old potatoes which are
apt to go to a very dark color, put
Z tablespoonful Of milk into the water
In which they are boiled and o will
and they will be beautifully white
when cooked.
New walking shoes are sometimes
Inclined to slip at the heels and a
nasty blister Is the result. A simple
preventive II to rub the inside of The
shoes with a little oar at the heel
before putting them on.
II you have a fern that does not
ROY fast enough try putting the pot in
hot water-not boiling but too hot to
bear the hand. This is especially good
for the beautiful large fern that re-
0embles b wild fern that grows on
some shady hillside.

because she misses the rich brown
gloss that she has seen on pastry made
by practical cooks. To obtain this
gloss she needs a wrinkle. 1t Is pro-
duced by egg wash. An egg is beaten
up with a little sugar and a small
quantity of milk Is added. With this
wash the pie is brushed over after the
pastry has beer finished.
Dresses. carpets and rugs and all

basin and into it crate two raw po-
tatoes. Then strain this through a
