How to Clean Wall Paner-

Wall paper that has smoky or
grimy look can be frightened with n
powder preparation which frequently
removes even very Objectionable
marks. Make mixture OF equal parts
OF cornstarch. whiting and fuller's
earth and with a soft cheesecloth or
any cotton rag dip 1T into the powder
and carefully go over the paper, rub
bling vigorously. but not enough to in
jure the print. Change the cloth as 1t
gets baCty soiled, after which wipe the
walls with large pieces of cotton rags
or cheesecloth. An old worn table
cloth torn into pieces Will do for dust
cloths. For very delicate tints put the
powder in gauze bag-an old piece OF
yelling will do-and carefully wipe
down the walls with the powder bag.
Put newspapers on the floor to catch
the dust which falls. A thin paste OF
fuller's earth and ammonia Will often
remove bad grease marks. Cover the
spot. but do not rub It. When dry,
carefully brush Off the dust

RAILWAY BEAUTY SPOTS.
PhloS and Hydranseas For Stations
Blue Grass For Right Of Way.

One of the good things for which
people have to thank the railroads is
the progress they are making In beau
tifying their right of way.
1t Is the practice OF the Pennsylya-
mia, as Moody's Magazine points out,
to surround its passenger stations with
little parks with terraces and grace
fuly curying paths and roadways. To
care for these station parks Is part Of
the duty OF the maintenance of way
department, just as 1t is to keep the
rails and ties In good order. Flowers
and shrubbery are planted In artistic
plots, and gardeners keep them fresh
and hourishing.
At station on the Long Island rail-
road, which is n subsidiary of the
Pennsylvania, COO trees and shrubs
besides beds of phlox and hydrangeas
were set out In 1907. For another sta
tion on the Long Island railroad 425
shrubs and twelve trees have been
ordered of the so called perennials and
evergreens.
In the open country, too, far from
towns, the Pennsylvania has adopted
the policy OF making its right OF way
pleasant to look at. Slopes of insight
ly rock or dirt are transformed into
green terraces.
Henceforth the standard roadbed,
when the tracks are In n cut, Will In
clude the sodded slopes. Blue grass
used for sodding viii prevent the ero-
sion which has given engineers SO
much trouble in times past. In help
Ing to solve the drainage problem the
grass is even more useful than It is
ornamental.

Need Of Wider Parkuau.-


One of the most difficult questions to
determine, one over which there is a
great diversity of opinion among engi-
neers and other city officials. is the
proper proportion between the side
walk and Travelled roadway widths of
any street, says the Los Angeles
Times. BY sidewalk width is meant
the space from the gutter or curb line
to the fence or street line, including in
addition TO the hardened portion OF the
walk the grass strips on one or both
sides or the walk. The width OF road
way should be only sufficient to ac-
commodate the vehicular traffic which
may be expected to use II. Many cit
les and towns make a great mistake In
laying out too wide roadways, espe-
cially upon residential streets. Such
errors In judgment result in an addI-
uonal burden upon the taxpayers for
street cleaning and sprinkling, and the
AUDITING property owner gets In return
additional dust. noise. street eIcava-
tons and all accompanying discom-
forts. They are also deprived Of that
pleasure and restfulness which would
DC obtained by the use OF such unuec.
essary roadway widths for additional
sidewalk spaces with attractive green
sward and additional opportunities for
the growth OF shrubs or graceful trees.

How to Paper caIeiminsd Walls

mass. each kernel distinct | have
found way, says n writer I'm Har-
per's Bazaar. First wash II thorough
ly through several cold waters, rub
bling the kernels between the hands.
This Is to remove all the loose -four
on the outside OF the grains. After
the water runs clear turn the rice into
colander and drain; then put 1t into
a deep stewpan, allowing one quart OF
boiling water to cup OF washed rice.
Add teaspoonful OF salt and allow II
to come to n good boil. Cook steadily
for twenty minutes, lifting the rice
occasionally with fork to prevent its
sticking. Shake the kettle also for
the same purpose, but never stir or
mash with spoon. Take 1t from the
fire, pour off the water IL any is left
and place It on the back OF the stove
In the oven or even over n pot of hot

KEEPING FRESH EGGS.
How They Can Be Preserved In Good
Condition For Months.


1t may be news to many housewives
that at the cost OF only n cent dozen.
plus little time and trouble, they can
keep fresh eggs for several months and
still have them come up TO the strictly
fresh standard, says the Washington
Post. The spelling OF eggs Is declared
by scientific men 10 be due TO the en-
trance OF mir, carrying germs OF decom-
position through the shells. Normally
an eggshell has a coating OF mucilagi.
nous matter. not perceptible to the
touch. but quite sufficient to make the
shell air tight.
This coating will keep out germs for
quite awhile, especially IL the egg Is
carefully handled. But II Ia sure to
become softened In time. either by
washing or by friction with a case or
with other eggs. Then the germ laden
air gets In and the eggs begin to spoil.
This explains why eggs packed I'm
lime or salt or placed In cold storage
are very far from being fresh when
they come on the market. According
TO experiments made at the govern
ment station In North Dakota, there
really Is one method OF keeping fresh
eggs which does preserve their fresh
ness.
by this method eggs which were
packed In August were opened three
and one-half months later and still
appeared to be perfectly fresh" In
most packed eggs utter q little time the
yolk settles to one side, and the egg ia
then Inferior In quality. But I'm these
three months old eggs the yolk was
In Its normal position, and "in taste
they were not to be distinguished from
fresh, unpacked eggs"
This is worth knowing, IL IL is true.
And there are other reports to the
same effect. German experimenters
tried twenty methods OF preserving
eggs. The three which were found
most satisfactory were coating them
with vaseline, preserving them In lime
water and preserving them In water
glass. The vaseline was tedious, and
the limewater gave the eggs disa-
greeable odor and taste.
So that OF all the twenty methods
employed the use OF water glass seem.
ed TO De the best. There is one test
OF packed eggs with which most cooks
are familiar. Such eggs do not beat
up well for caksmaking or for frosting.
BY this test the eggs kept In water
glass solution seemed quite equal to
the average fresh eggs OF the market.
water glass Is n cheap product that
should not cost more than 80 cents
gallon. One gallon would make enough
solution to preserve fifty dozen eggs,
SO that the cost would be only a cent
dozen.
water glass Is a sodium or potassium
siiicate. TO make the solution use ten
quarts OF pure water that has been
thoroughly boiled and then cooled. Add
one quart OF water glass to the ten
quarts OF water.

GOT EASY DOLLARS.
Fraud Order Issued Against a Puzzle
Contest Concern.

contest Concern.
One OF the latest fraud orders issued
10y the postofiice department forblds
the further use OF the malls TO the
Hopkins Publishing company, that be-
Ing the name under which the c. Il.
Ellis Publishing company OF New York
city has carried on an extensive mail
order business for several years.
The evidence upon which the depart
ment stopped this concern from using
the United States mails shows that
the firm published several cheap pa
pers containing various so called puz-
zlc contests. Those who won prizes
were required TO send a dollar for
subscription TO one OF the papers aud
TO cover cost OF packing and mailing
the prize. The postoilice department
claims that the prizes were never
worth as much as Il dollar.
Schemes like this for deluding the
unthinking reader undoubtedly servo
to draw away from the country dis
tricts and the smaller towns many dol
lars which might be expended ut home
TO much better purpose. SO expended
they would benefit not only the spend
or, but the local citizen with whom
the money was spent, and incidentally
the whole community would be bene-
fitted by having more cash In circula-
tion.
While the postofiice department usu-
ally runs down such schemes and
squelches them in the course OF time,
the promoters, as n rule, get many
easy dollars before they are hecked.
AS Abraham Lincoln might say, this
reminds us of story:
Once there was n man fishing In a
pond with great number OF hooks
carrying bait which was forbidden by
the game laws. The big catfish, who
was monarch of the pond, shifted at
the bait and turned tail.
THE fish and game warden will get
that Teller mighty soon" said the cat.
THAT may be-" replied the big eel,
who was slick article himself, "but

CLEANING OILY HAIR.
How to Treat the Scalp For Tn.
Defect.

In washing an oily scalp special treat
ment In necessary II the abnormal con-
dition OF the glands that causes the ex-
cess OF oil Is to be checked. Before
beginning the shampoo rub into the
scalp 70 absorb the oil mixture made
or one ounce OF soft water and one
raw egg beaten together. Then wash
the scalp with clear warm water.
Another excellent cleanser for oily
hair Is made from quillia bark TO one
half pint OF boiling water add one-half
ounce OF quillia bark. that may be
bought Mt any druggists. Let this
stand, but not on the stove, until cool.

Equal parts OF green soap and CO.
logne make an excellent shampoo for
scalp with dlstended glands The
preparation should stand for twenty.
four hours. shaking occasionally.
Any one OF these three cleaning
agents should be selected by a woman
who Is afflicted with oily hair, and Il Is
worth while repeating that under no
condition should shampooing be done
oftener than once In three weeks, and
once month Is apt to give more bene-
fcial results.
mistake frequently made In treat
Ing oily scalps Is the use OF tonics that
are overastringent. for these will con-
tract the glands too quickly, having
precisely the same effect that too dry

An excellent tonic to be put on every
night in connection with massage of
the scalp is made of two drains each
