toward the shrine, kept us going;
time after time we felt inclined to
turn back and seek our comfortable

On, uncertain how much further we
must go, and how much longer our
discomfort must endure. Finally the
road turned sharply to the right. The
rain came down as never; the mud
was ankle deep, and splashed to the
knees with every step; but from the
din we heard before us we were con-
fdent that we were near our destina-
ton. We crossed a little bridge,
found ourselves on good stone pave
ment, and shortly stood at the bottom
of the great stairway of 90 stone steps
leading upward to the temple Just
as we reached the summit there was
lull in the dOwnpour,' and we stood at
one side to look down the stairway

5y RICHARD S. cHILDs.

DOSES, corrupt government in states and
cities, political machines and an indig-
nant but almost helpless people-all are
the result of having more elective Offices than
the people can keep track of.
Now, follow the reasoning carefully step
by step, for l want you to understand
clearly how the long ballot is the poiti-
clans ballot and the short ballot is the
peoples ballot. And keep open minded if
you can, to the very end of my explana-
ton.

A Short Ballot From
England

Inis Is typical official ballot (ac-
tual size) for an English city election.
1t shows the names Of two candidates
for single office-councilor from the
ward. The council in English cities
elects the mayor and all other officials.
The people simply make one choice and
accordingly know just what they are
doing on election day. The scrutiny Of
the people. thus concentrated, bars out
unfit candidates almost automatically.
1t is the best way and the surest way
to keep the grafters out"
Notice there is no party label to help
the voter. The voter doesn't have to
rely on such guidance with the short
ballot" The voter can't help knowing
bis lob and can't be flimhamued.

Cleaning Chinaware Should Be Given During Spring

To keep chinaware bright and spotless
is the desire of every housekeeper, and so
the task of washing the best dishes she
rarely entrusts to a servant. For should
the cleansing be done In a careless way
the result will be an accumulation OF small
stains, which will require treatment Dor
dering on the heroic to remove.
Hot water should be avoided when wash
ing fine china, because the heat is apt to
make cracks, just as 1t will break glass.
To cleanse such china cupful of soapsuds
or thin soap jelly should be added TO pan
of hot water, and as precaution against
chipping and breaking 1t is a good plan to
fold dish towel and lay on the bottom OF
the dishpan For this purpose there are
rubber mats, but thick fold of towelng
will be just as much protection.
In washing a few cups and plates only
ordinary care is sufficient, but at this
season of the year, when house cleaning is
the order the china closet and its contents
demand special attention quite as do walls
and floors.
For even though the pretty ware has
been kept behind closed doors dust will
sift through and often stains appear on
china when II is unused for months at
time,
OF course it goes without saying that
only a few pieces should be put In the
bath at a time, II the work OF cleansing
is TO be thorough.
In soaking, however, II each dish is
placed carefully in the bath a number OF
pieces may be put in together.

minutes to soften the soil and stains.
second bath should be prepared, into which
few pieces should be washed at time.
A small. old, soft tooth brush is the best
article with which to clean handles Of
cups, pitchers and vegetables dishes.
Ii may be necessary to say do not hold

a reminder that the dishes are inside ana

One OF the best home remedies for re-
moving stain on china is wood ashes.
These ashes are safe to use and any ordl-
nary stains will disappear with the treat
ment, consisting of soft ashes shaken on
damp cloth and applied. There are also
many good cleansing powders for the pur-
pose, but only reliable articles should be
bought
When a stain is obstinate a little dry
salt win usually remove It and Will not
injure the china.
There are, however, some kinds OF stains
that do not disappear by ordinary means,
notably the dark color that has settled
into small cracks and the yellow tinEe
often assumed by unused china, also stains
caused by medicine.
When such is the case there Is nothing
that will remove the obstinate spots but
muriatic acid. At the outset it is best to
say this must be used with caution. At
the same time there is no better agent. II
china has been we'll fired no harm will re-
suit to the ware or its colored decoration,
but II home fired the china must nog hle

In applying muriatic acid II is best TO
