her opinion soap sometimes streaks the

undoubtedly.

SIMPLE METHOD FOR KEEPING
SILVER BRIGHT AND CLEAN
Stains on Knives and Forks Quickly Removed
With Home Remedies.

Cleaning silver hot and tiresome work
in summer may be made mere play if a
houSekeeper inspects the pieces every
day. This inspection consists IN watch
ing the condition in which the knives.
forks etc, leave the table, and also
that they are washed in Il certain way.
For instance. stains, even those that
take violent rubbing to remove after
they have been OF p few days. will
frequently come off in a second if they
are treated while fresh.
The first aid in keeping silver bright
is to wash it alone in hot water. Those
pieces that have been used for greasy
food should be plunged into boiling
water which has been made soapy With
short stick or other implement the
spoons. forks, etc, must be pushed about
in the water. After this the bath is
poured off. The pieces are then ready
to go into the same water with others
which have been kept free from grease.
If there are spoons or knives stained
with egg. these may be rubbed with
salt after wetting. If salt alone does
not remove the discoloration. a few drops
of vinegar added will restore the natural
polish.

from one of the rarest diseases known
to medical science that little hope of
her recovery is held out. She is suf-

known as fish skin" disease. In the
past six weeks the entire skin has
scaled off her body six times.
On several occasions the skin cover
ing the lower part of her body, to-
gether with the soles of her feet, has
fallen off and physicians have taken
a quart of scales from her bed in "a
hours, a new layer of SCALES forming

The child also has lost all of her
hair. She has ravenous appetite and
apparently cannot get enough to eat
Attending physicians say that the dis
ease is somewhat similar to leprosy
but is worse than that malady in the
