To Remove Blue Of Furniture.

Many housewives have been an
noyed by the cloudy, blue-gray look
which so often appears on mahogany
pianos and other pieces of highly pol
ished furniture For removing such
an appearance one woman has very
successfully used a solution composed
of a tablespoonful of vinegar in a
quart Of clear water. This applied
with a cheesecloJh rag. first saturated
and then wrung out as dry as possible
The furniture is rubbed very lightly
with this and is then polished just as
lightly with a dry piece of cheese
cloth. If the first application is not
successful it may be tried again in a
week.

If SUGAR RoILs TOO LONG.
Add a Few TablespoonfuIs Of Cold
Water and Boil Again.

Boiling sugar and water for ices, or
icing is a somewhat ucklish opera
ton, as every cook knows. If
cooked too much it will be sugary, and
if not enough, 1t will run.
The latter fault can be remedied by
returning to the stove for a few min
utes
When the boiling has gone beyond
the desired degree the consistency
can be reduced by adding a few table
spoonfuls of cold water and boiling
again.
If the sugar has been burnt the taste
will remain, even though sugaring has
been prevented
Never stir sugar and water while
boiling if you do not want it to granu-
late. Watch it carefully and take it
of at the critical moment, wkkh In
most cases must be decided by exper-
fence.

To Keen Away Ruas.

Make frames u inches square and
four inches deep from any pieces of
board at hand, or get a box from the
grocer and split it up, for the purpose.
Set a frame over each hill of cucum-
bers or melons, and cover with a piece
of glass. Amateur photographers who
have spoiled negatives on hand can
clean them in hot water and use them
for this purpose by tacking a couple
Of cross sticks over the top of the
frame to serve as rests for the small
glasses. This protects your vines
while the first leaves are forming,
which is the time to look out for bugs.
The glass, of course. must be removed
to let in air and moisture at the proper
times. BY this method one can start
much earlier than usual and be sure
of protection from frost as well as
bugs.

The Lab of ReSerbeS.

Once upon time, those who put their
money into bank, for safe-keeping I'm
til they wanted it, were supposed to
have some rights.
This may sound like tough yarn, but
it's fact
The depositor was once regarded as a
right decent sort Of fellow and the law
made motions as though it wanted to pro-
tect him from thieves, spectators, stock
gamblers, forcib1e borrowers, and other
speckled varieties of latterday fnanciers.
With an eye to the protection of the
depositor-a weak, flmy, watery eye,
admit-the law solemnly requested the
bankers to maintain a certain amount of
money where they could lay hands on it,
at any time, so that if depositor wanted
a few dollars Of his own money, he could
get cash, instead of soap-wrappers.
At that time, the rogues' device of
Clearing House Certificate had not en-
tered the head of those scoundrels of New
York, who first forced that nasty stuff in
to circulation and set an evil example
which others followed.
By the national bank act, each national
bank is required to keep a reserve, in law

Mr.. HaYdh'rck S Speech.

Hon. Thos w. Hardwick made one of
the best and meatiest speeches in Con-

We are going to give the readers of the
Jeffersonian the benefit of it by reproduc-
ing it in full.
If the Democratic Party would put
such men as Hardwick in the lead, it
might possibly win back the Confidence
of the country.
The leadership of such men as John
Sharp Williams cannot amount to any
thing, for the simple reason that ]. Sharp,
as leader, amounts to nothing.

New York, and to you they have issued
$o4, 100000 in soap-wrappers.
You believed in General Prosperity you
know, and you were hard down on the
Calamity Howler.
Well, you've got the prosperity, sure
enough-but it is punched about in spots
A few thousands Of those whose special
privileges have been increased by your
vote, have got the biggest fortunes ever
before known, in the history of mankind
but the army of unemployed grows lar
ger, every day; the breadline grows long
er, every day; the unrest of the poorer
millions grows nearer to the riot stage,
every day; the door of Opportunity for
your boy or girl grows narrower, every
day; the predominance of the Trust and
the Money-King advances, every day
the expenses of government and of living
are increasing, every day, and the war
cry of the Communist pea1s forth louder
and louder, every day.
Keep your eye on the East Side in New
York; study we'll those conditions in Ne
vada and Indiana watch those parades of
thousands of jobless men, demanding
Work.
All, my son, you voted for the men who
have brought all this about, and in your
heart of hearts there should be profound
repentance for the past, and mans
strong resolution to vote more intelligent
ly, and independently, hereafter.
In a self-governing country, it is the
patriotic duty of every voter to study
public questions, in order that he may
vote right, and thus govern himself and
others, in accordance with the everlast
ing principles of justice.

full money, to the extent of certain
per cent of it's deposits and circulation.
In some cities, named in the act, the
reserve of actual money required to
be kept on hand, is twenty-five per cent;
in all others, fifteen per cent.
But the act further provides that three
fifths of this fifteen per cent may consist
of balance due to these banks by the
banks of St. Louis, Louisville, Chicago,
Detroit, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Gin
cinnat, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Albany,
Leavenworth, San Francisco, Washing
ton City.
See how cleverly these schemers go
about getting all the available money of
the country into few big cities!
But that isn't the worst of it. After
the money has been drawn into these
various reserve Cities" it must then be
drawn into one big pond-New York.
Section 81 of the National Bank act
provides, that one-half of the reserves re-
CURED to be kept by these banks of the
big cities may consist of deposits in the
New York banks.
There you have ia cleverly devised
net work of canals which convey the
currency, first into many big cities, and
then into one.
And yet we marvel that everybody
should have to bow down to New York
and go to her, on our knees, BEGGING
FOR SOME OF OUR OWN MONEY!
We are fools enough to vote Our fnan-
cial independence away, and then marvel
at Our chains.
We first say, by law, that the national
banker shall be our financial master, and
then we wonder at Our slavery.
When these national banks came back
to Congress, in 1903, to have their char
tiers renewed for another twenty years,
not single Republican raised voice of
protest.
And not single Democrat had the
spunk and the patriotism to remind the
country that the Democratic Party, as
now organized, owed it's first great victo-
ry to the fight which Andrew Jackson
waged upon this very question of nation
al banks

DO You Want to B0yY0h Any
Money?
Say, Mister, do you want to "Aoat" a
loan?
Well, then, why don't you go and do
it? You voted for Sound Money, you
know.
You didn't want any Rag Baby cur
rency; you wanted currency that would
be good in Europe
You didn't listen to those demagogues
that the Coca-Co1a man hates so violent
ly. You just couldn't bear the idea Of
silver dollars, you rememb Der; and you
hooted, like nice tame owl, every time
one of those demagogues spoke of such
monstrous proposition as that of issuing
government paper money. Don't you re,

night, and roll the bed and kick the COW

because you dreamed that too much silver
was being coined into money and tina
Europe had got all our gold?
Say, Mister, where is that gold?
How much of it have you ever seen,

You helped the patriots save the coun-
try from the demagogues, you know,
and you put down all the cranks, and ST
fenced all the fanatics, and squelched the
last one Of the incendiaries. Yes, sir, you
had it all your own way
You got the Presidency, the Senate.
the House, the Governorship, the Legis-
1ature, the City Government, the county,

thing-not even smell of the jug. You
got it all-and you're in a pretty mess,

You cannot collect you cannot borrow;
you cannot sell at fair price; and you've
got nothing to buy with.
Amt you in nice fix?
You put your little savings into bank,
and when you wanted a small amount Of
your own money, you couldn't get it. Hadp
to accept some soap-wrappers.
Or, maybe, you did as the Jeffersonian
and your young friend, Gordon Nye, and
5000 other simpletons did-put your
money in the Neal bank-or some other
honest concern where the officers of the
bank were using most of the money in
big speculation which didn't pan out.
The men you voted into office have
given you just what you wanted.

The Art OF Visiting.
From The Commoner.

My attention being called recent
ly to an article in your valuable pa
per on the above SUBJECT, or rather
on the "secret of perpetuating friend
ships" l was forcibly impressed by
the truths it contained, as there is
an art In visiting, the true possession
and observance of which will not
only perpetuate friendships, but rem
der friendly intercourse a source of
JOY rather than kind of periodical
malaria to be dreaded. Visitations
of friends and relatives to be appre-
ciated should be bright and always
brief, as no truer adage exists than
"short visits make long friends"
Another observance in visiting
that should be strictly adhered to is,
never under any circumstances take
children with you when being away
for any length of time, as they are
a never failing source of discomfort
to those visited, especially is this so
with those who have no children of
their own. To 90 with children OF
various ages for two, three, or more
days among your friends-to be re-
ceived, and praised, and kissed by
those upon whom such an unpleas-
ant burden is lmposed-is Inconsid-
crate, to say the least, and is only
practiced by the thoughtless few.
And, too, at home or abroad, the
prudent mother will not permit,
much less insist, on the promiscuous
kissing OF her helpless infant by
those to whom she presents it. This
too common practice is not only
cruel, but detrimental TO the health
of the child, and should be sedu-
lousy guarded against.
The mingllng together of friends,
the keeping alive the ties that bind,
is an art, and happy is he or she
whose tact leads to proper observ-
ance of the same. VISITOR.
