been the case for years past. Among
practical business men the Federal
governments wasteful and costly
method of carrying on It's business has
for years been at once a joke and a
reproach and Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Island voiced the general opin-
don when he recently declared that he
could administer the affairs Of the
biggest business institution on the
continent and by the introduction of
modern methods and policies save
fully $500, 5000 a year over the
present cost.
The recent legislation by congress
was designed merely to enable the
president to start the ball rolling for
reform in the conduct of the Federal
business. With $100,00O set aside TO
~fnaugurate the work, the president is
authorized to employ accountants and

methods of transacting the, public
business of the government in the sew
eral executive departments and other
governmental establishments. 1t is
expected that many of the recommen-
dations for reforms which Will be
made by these business physicians

HOUSEHOLD REPAIRS
MANY BITS OF WORK WOMAN
CAN DO AT HOME.
Veriest Tyre Can Patsh Mahogany
Veneer If She Would Work Heed
fully-Upholstery BY No
Means Difficult.

There are many small bits of re-
pairing that a woman may do among
her household goods when she wishes
to freshen home for the winter. Up
holstery is by no means difficult, save
where "tufting" is wished; covering
desks requires care rather than prac-
tice, and the veriest tyro can patch
mahogany veneer II she will but work
heedfully.
Upholstered chairs and even sofas
that have wooden frames need have
no terror for her who would recover
them. II the old cover is removed
so that 1t Is not torn 1t becomes a
perfect pattern from which the new
may be cut. One must remember,
with the new, that the thread shall

straight line, and when necessary to
piece 1t, the pattern, II there is one,
must be made to match perfectly.
Stitching to be firm enough to wear
we'll is to be done on a machine, and
the seam heavily and smoothly
pressed open. It is always better to
use wide material, when the stuff is
equally satisfactory in effect, for then
an amateur obviates many seams and
consequent extra labor.

edge will not turn under neatly and

a tape measure is pinned along the
edge and the tacks put at regular in
tervals. If new springs or actual re-
pairing Of the inner structure Of a
chair Is needed this must be done by
a professional, but the furniture may
then be returned for the owner to
put on the covering.
Cloth or velvet to be put without
wrinkles on f1at-top desks may be ap-
preached without fear. The desk sur
face Is first to be made smooth. The
old W is torn off and the wood
scraped and rubbed with coarse sand

Of all this Is to have a clean and

as will spread, otherwise 1t would
soak through the material, stiffening
1t. Yet this consistency would be too
dry to adhere properly to the wood
were 1t not that the dampness aids.
Z A fiat brush is used for putting on
the glue, and one-half of the wood
surface is smoothly painted. The
material then is put over, rubbing it
down smoothly with a fat piece of
board, which will press out all
wrinkles. An amateur will then do
better to fold back the rest of the
material and wait until that which is
pressed down has dried in place. This
