Uses of Olive OIL.

Not every one realizes the medicinal
properties of olive OIL 1t is quite true
that the machinery of the body needs
oiling occasionally, like any mechanical
machine which is constantly in use.

exceedingly beneficial A tablespoonful
will aid the digestion and ease liver
trouble. This oil should be served
frequently as a dressing and is not only
pleasant on vegetables. hut serves as
an appetizer as well. Taken Internally,
either with salads or alone, it is bene-
fetal for catarrh, either Of the stomach
or throat, 1t is known to be a great
help in cases of rundown nervous sys-

To Dust n Room.

To properly dust room it must be
thoroughly done, and that means care
fully done. a feather brush or a
turkey wing is excellent for brushing
the backs of pictures and one of the
best wall busters is a clean cotton
mop. The furn ture is busted before
the chairboard ana floor. One of the
best busters is a cotton cloth wrung
out of turpentine and dried. 1t ac-
cumulates all dust, does not scatter it
and brightens the furniture Wooden
cloths are best for the chairboard and
floor. When using polish, old stocking
legs are good for applying the polish
or polishing the wood. The cheap cot
ton ones contain little lint, are soft and
serve for this purpose. Windows may
be busted with n clean feather Brush
though cheesecloth is good for polish
ing them: also soft tissue paper or
crumpled newspapers. If heavy fur
niture cannot be removed from a room.
protect the pieces with sheets. A soft
whisk broom answers splendidly for
cleaning upholstered pieces.

Bill to Extend the City's Rights

in alarm 800 years ago. and he forbade
any one TO build ON new foundations
within two miles of the city. Charing

center of London, then was a hamlet in
the fields.
To-day the same situation is being
repeated, says the Kansas City Star.
The nation is afraid CT being over
Swallowed by the city. which is claim
ing its rights to expand. One of the
bills which will be introduced at the
present session of parliament will pro-
vide for the creation of Il greater Lon
don. 1t will be backed by the power
and influence of the London county
council and will have as its aim the
placing of the whole metropolis area.
with its population of more than q,
100000 persons, under the control Of
one central authority. At present the
county council governs the administra-
tive county of London. with a popuIa-
ton of about 100000, and even now
parliament is jealous of its power. The
opposition to the new bill will come
from those members of parliament who
believe with King James l. that ELI

don England"
The jurisdiction of the London coun-
ty council covers an area which is
roughly contained within circle hav-
ing Charing Cross as its center and a
radius of about five miles. The metro
politan police area which it is pro-
posed to bring under the control Of the
London county council, or some body
which may be constituted to succeed
it, is contained in a fifteen-miIe circle
1t comprises the county of London. the
whole of the county OF Middlesex and
parts of the counties Of Surrey, Kent,
Essex and Hartford.
More than 100000 people have been
added to the population OF outer Lon
don in seven years and the process is
still going on. All these people are
truly Londoners in their habits, in
their sympathies and in their interests,
yet they are being governed by authori
ties designed for the administration of
the area in which they lived when it
was occupied by farms and villages.
If the new bill goes through it will
govern a tenth of the whole population

nearly half that collected now for na-
tional purposes. AT present 1t has con-

it has a gross debt of about 100000

1t has 10000 people on its pay rolls,
but If it takes in the additional area
demanded by the bill now before parlia-
ment it will have an army of at least
100000 men in its pay, for the bin con-

but giving 1t greater control over the
