march back to nature been SO appar-

where advertisers recognize that the

one that reckons the highest percent

government, taking an active part In
this crusade for pure food. not only
passed the pure food and drugs act
by which patent foods and medicines
are made to bear plain analysis Of
their contents, but instituted series
of governmental experiments to deter
mine those foods bearing the highest
percentage of muscle and nerve build
ing nourishment. State and private
universities followed this example and
the results have been placed before the
public. In almost every case the vege-
table foods and cereals have been found
to possess a higher percentage Of nutri-
ment than meats, which carry not only
a large percentage OF waste but also
active impurities excreted IN the &nf-

Beds, no matter what kind. can be
cleaned by the use of sweet oil on q
niece OF flannel cloth. Rub this on
the bed. then wipe off with another dry
rag.
Mirrors, windows and other glass
things can be washed by using a glass
of vinegar and a tablespoon OF salt to
two quarts of water. This method was
learned from an old Spanish woman.
Pots or dishes that have been burned
In the oven can be cleaned by using a
damp rag and ashes.
Plain kitchen curtains can be made

washed and boiled so as to get all
spots out, and then some fancy work
may be added to them.
