THE work of cleaning room may be
made much less irksome if done in
systematic manner with the
proper cleaning apparatus. etc.
No person can bring about good re-
suits without the proper brushes, aces
series, etc For instance, rags that can
be used on floors are not suitable for
mirrors or fine furniture and brushes
that will remove the dust from uphol-
stored articles are entirely unfit for
sweeping walls or carpets.
AS to the actual work of cleaning par
lor or sitting room, it consists in remov-
ing all the smaller pieces of furniture to
another room. or better still, out of
doors.
Then the heavier furnishings left in the
room should be covered with dust cloths
to protect the wood from dust. This
done. the walls must be swept down,
and should there be any cobwebs they
may be removed with long handled hair
the walls, however. there is nothing bet
ter than the ordinary sweeping broom
covered with a hood of canton flannel.
This fabric will catch and hold the dust.
while feather buster will only scatter
It.
Thoroughly Clean the Floor.
The floor then requires attention. and
whether a carpet or a rug covers it. this
covering must be thoroughly swept. To
sweep without raising dust is the desire
of every housewife. and this feat is &C
complished in various lays. Some women
scatter wet pieces of paper over the rugs.
etc, while others prefer tea leaves. When
the latter are used they should first be
put through clean water, strong. tea
would probably stain the carpet.
Faded or soiled places in carpets are
often restored to freshness by laying
over them pieces of raw potato moistened
with water.
A shabby carpet may be frightened by
dampening it with mixture of half a
teacupful of ammonia to a pail of warm
water. This cleansing fluid should be ap-
piled with a clean rag.
When the sweeping. etc. is finished.
the room should be left to air-all WIN
dows Open-for at least two hours. Then
the busting may be started. Begin this
work on the pictures by using an old silk
handkerchief to remove the dirt.

The new plant of the Chapin-Sacks
Manufacturing Company at LIST and N

Quoted over the plant. Everywhere about

great punches Of cut flowers.
A. A. Chaplin president of the company,
conducted many of the visitors over the
plant and explained that in the manu-
facture of THE Velvet Kind every eff
fort is made to have the cleanest ice
cream possible.
While the visitors inspected the place
the business of the establishment was
COINS on as usual.
They watched the cream go into a large
cylinder several feet high and a yard or
more In diameter. After being raised to
high temperature 1t passed into another
cylinder and was quickly cooled.
This Is said to be the latest and most
effective process of pasteurization In
this room a stream of water washes the
floor continually. The men in this room
as well those in all the other depart
ments of the place wear white clothing,
which is changed daily.
Modern Methods.
From the pasteurizers the visitors see
the cream sent into the mixers where the
1avoring. sugar, etc, was stirred in au-
tomatically and the mixture fed into the
freeZers in the room below.

POWDERS THAT STICK
IN THE HOT WEATHER

To find face powder that will stick"
in warm weather is difficult task. for
the cosmetic must contain some adhesive
properties One of the best combinations
for staying on is a mixture composed
OF precipitated carbonate of zinc and
French chalk Occasionally the first may
be used alone. for it lasts, but 1t is safer
for the benefit of the skin to apply the
two ingredients. Too much zinc. as OF
a ~ other metal in powder, will dull the
skin.
When this combination is put on it
should not be allowed to remain on the
flesl. overnight.
1t may be tinted if desired by using a
grain or more of carmine, according to
the quantity of powder taken, and mixing
the three thoroughly.
Many women during the summer use
the liquid face powder, and certainly it
has advantages. A good liquid formula
for this season is two drains of pure oxide
of zinc, one dram each of glycern and
orange flower water. four drops of tine
ture of benzoin, and seven drops of es-
sence of violet The zinc should be only
covered with orange flower water and the
powder is dissolved.
The benZoin and glycerin are mingled,
adding the rest of the orange flower
water, and then the two mixtures are
combined. This may be tinted with car
mnc if desired. 1t is shaken before
being applied to the face with a bit of
soft muslin. Afterward dry powder may
be rubbed on if the skin is very greasy.
The Finishing Powder.
powder suited to this final treatment,
or one that may be used alone. is made of
ten grams each of Venetian talcum pow
der and lycopodium powder two and a
half grams each of powdered tannin and
boric acid, and five drops of essence of
violets. All the powders are mingled and
b. degrees the essence is worked in. 1t
will be necessary to sift this compound
many times through coarse cheesecloth,
rubbing the Jumps through afterward.
1t is a mistake to think that powders
injure the skin. If properly used they
are improving. or at least harmless. but
stress must be laid on proper use. Prep

century, included a much larger do
main than that of today, and the
Servians aspire to the increase of their
national prestige until it approximates
that of old. The Crown Prince George,
who boldly champions these aspira-

than his father, King Peter, who came
to the throne in 1908 after the murder
Of King Alexander and Queen Draga
