How to Overcome COOKING odors.

A volatile oil rich in sulphur is con
tanned in onions, turnips and cabbage
When these vegetables are boiled this
oil spreads over the surface of the
water and sends its fumes to the far
corners of the house. If the vegetables
are soaked in sailed water for an hour
before cooking the trouble will be less.
If they are kept at the boiling point
for three-quarters of an hour. but not
allowed to boil, they will become ten
der. yet their odor will not permeate
the house. If boiling for short time
is preferred as a method of cooking, a
crust of very hard bread dropped into
the water for ten minutes will absorb
most of the oil as it rises, when the
crust may be removed.

How to Remove Rust From Steel.

To remove rust from steel dissolve
a quarter of an ounce of camphor gum
in nearly half a pound of lard. When
the mixture is melted and blended
take off the scum, and when it begins
to thicken add enough black lead to
give a deep iron color. Rub the orna-
ments with the mixture and leave
them for day and night; then polish
them with a soft cloth and brush
that will go into the crevices and aper-
lures. Another remedy for cut steel
that is not badly rusted is fine emery
powder mixed with vaseline or par
ATTN. This is rubbed thoroughly into
the steel work. and then putty powder
is applied with oil and rubbed off with
soft cloth. To prevent cut steel or
naments from rusting it is a good
idea to rub them occasionally with
vaseline.

shot, but not thinking that it came
from the shed, made no investigation.

that the unconscious man was found
in the shed by workman about

head, but the bullet did not enter the
