RECENT VISIT TO THE NORTH
COUNTRY HAS GIVEN NEW
IMPETUS TO TRADE, SAYS
DETROIT MAN

1--WE are just beginning TO realize
the great value aecruing to our bus
mess from the recent trip of the
Wholesalers and Manufacturers asso-
citation to the upper peninsula" says
Frederick Stockwell, vice president
of Edison. Moore & Co., in a Detroit
exchange.
This firm has from three to five
travelling men at all times in the up
per peninsula, and all of these men
are at the Detroit home office during
this week and next" continued Mr.
Stockwell. They all report that the
merchants throughout the upper pen
nsula were very favoraby impressed
with the Detroiters' visit. These men
have been over their territories since
the excursion and report that the peo-
pie at all the points touched are talk
ing about the trip, of the better re-
lations which now exist between the
two sections, and are perfectly free to
state that they are going to buy more
goods in Detroit than they have in the
past
"Now that it is possible to deliver
freights promptly to all parts Of tho
upper peninsula, Edison, Moore q Co
have deciced To make a complete
change in their system of handling

EGG EXPERIMENT IS UNIQUE
interesting Little Test Shows Why
II Is SO Easy to Swim In
Salt Water.

Let us take two small pickle bottles,
A and B, and one, G, twice as large.
A is to be filled with clear water. II,
now, we try to float a fresh egg in
the latter we shall assuredly fail; the
egg will Immediately sink to the bot
tom, because the density of water Is
considerably less than that of the egg,
says Magical Experiments. Next
place the egg in B, which Is full Of
concentrated brine, and try to make
the egg sink. 1t is just as impossible
as to cause it to float in water. 1t is
thus clear that strong salt water Is
denser than the egg; and, from this
simple experiment, we may guess why
it is so much easier to swim in salt
than fresh water, since the greater
density of the former permits US the
more easily to float.
Now let us combine these two ex-
periments, and pour into C the greater
part Of both these fluids, water and
strong brine, which will, of course,
commingle. BY few trials, pouring
in little more of one or the other,
we shall obtain liquid whose specific
gravity is identical with that of our
egg; and now the latter, having no
reason to go to the bottom, and find
ing no particular excuse to get to the

HOW TO CLEAN WHITE SHOES
Comparatively Simple Matter to he

Many a girl discards her white
shoes when they are good and dirty.
without knowing that a little enor'
will restore them to their pristine
purity.
The first requirement for complete
restoration is not to get the white
shoes too soiled, for they never looH
so well as when they are taken IL
hand before the discoloration becomes
too deep. After wearing canvas SHOES
they should be given good brushing
with stiff brush, the sole edges ana
heels freed from mud and washed on
with plain water. But do not let the
water get on the canvas, for this Will
only serve to fasten the soil the t1gnt
er. For whitening the canvas there
are many bottled liquids in the mar
ket, Chinese white being favor1te
and the most efficacious one. A home
made whitener which is just as good
if put together according to the formu-
la is made of half an ounce OF gum
arabic dissolved in 40 ounces OF water;
to this add an ounce of white vinegar
and 20 ounces of powdered chalk.
Shake the bottle well before using,
and put the white on with brush,

Turnback Cuffs Popular.

With the white shirt waist and
white duck linen skirt pure white
neckwear is the rule or pure white
combined with some delicate tint.
Some of the hand-embroidered
Dutch collars have inserts of pale
blue, pink or lavender linen on which
are worked flowers, sprays or dots in
white with very dainty effect.
Turnback cuffs are 80 smart this
season that some women, taking adj
vantage of special sales of the turn
over Irish collars, buy up two or three
in matching patterns and, cutting
away the stiff linen back, make cuffs
off the strip of Irish crochet, which
can be obtained more reasonably this
way than by the yard. as these collars
are made up in great quantities and
the real Irish patterns initiated very
closely.

In the first place." said the expert,
don't make the mistake that one
woman did who came complaining to
me today. | questioned her concern
ing the food she had given the fish
and found that she had fed them moth
ing but bread That is a sure way
to kill the fish, for the bread contains
yeast and this sours the water and it
would be necessary to change it every
half hour or so to keep the fish alive.
IF you will watch a fish that is fed
with bread you will see him eat it
for little time, but as the bread gets
sour from the action of the water he
will take it in his mouth and cough it
out very quickly. Common sense
ought to teach one that when the fish
splits out the bread 1t is not the right
food for him. Oatmeal makes good
fish food, but the prepared food make

The fish will naturally stay near the
bottom and as long as the water has
sufficient oxygen for their needs they
will swim around in any part of the
bowl. But when the oxygen is getting
low and the water used up you will
see the fish crowd to the top and be-
gin to gasp. When they do this, thrust
ing their heads half out of the water
and gulping in the air you will know
that they need fresh water, and if you
do not give it to them quickly you will
find your fish floating at the top, dead
Don't keep the dsh bowl in a dark
corner The fish require sunlight, and
il they are given plenty of light and
air, the water will not need to be
changed so frequently. Remember that
the fish are accustomed in their ma
tive habitat to sunlight and air all
around them. From this, they are
taken and confined in a small bowl,
and this bowl is kept in close room,
into which the sun seldom or never
penetrates, and the consequence is the
oxygen in the water is used up rap
idly and the fish die for want of air."
