low to Patch Wall Paoer.

1t is not easy to put new patch OIL
wall paper so that 1t hardly shows.
but if you have an untidy place that
needs repapering try the following
way: Cut a piece of paper rather lar
ger than you require and If the paper
on the wall is faded lay the patch in
a sunny place for a day or two. Then
brush it over with paste, lay it over
the torn place and tear a strip off the
patch at each edge. pulling it away
from the outside so as to leave a thin
edge Of the cOlOred part on top. When
smoothly pasted down the joint will
scarcely show. If the paper is torn
before the paste is applied the thin
edge gets too sodden and the paste is
apt to oOZe out and leave a dirty mark
all round the patch.

How to Weiqh an Automobile.

To obtain the exact weight of an au-
tomobile and the weight carried on
each pair of wheels it is necessary to
use a platform scale-that is. any scale
that has a platform sufficiently wide
to take the entire length of the ma
chine-then proceed in this manner:
First weigh the whole car Next weigh
the back Of the car. To do this the
middle Of the car should be over the
edge Of the platform. The front Of
the car should be weighed in the same
manner. If this has been carefully
done the last two weights when add
ed together should give within twenty
pounds of the entire weight of the car.

How to Determine In a Few Minutes
Quality Of the Fluid.

&ddlhy " InC
The following process for the detec-
ton of added water or of skimmilk in
ordinary milk is more accurate than
the simple use of a lactodensimeter
without the creamometer check. The
whole test can be made in five min
utes.
The. result does not show whether
the adulteration consisted in the adj
dition of water or in the satisfaction
Of cream. but as rule this matters
little to the consumer. What he wants
to know is whether or not he got what
he paid for.
The suspected milk is stirred with
q spoon in order to disseminate into
the whole liquid the cream which may
have come to the surface. Then one
volume of milk is poured into fifty
volumes of water-one fluid ounce to
two and one-half pints.
A candle is lighted in a dark room.
The experimenter takes an ordinary
drinking glass with a fat and even
bottom and holds it Immediately above
the candle at a distance of about one
foot from it. so as to be able to see
the flame of the candle through the
bottom of the glass. He then pours
slowly the diluted milk into the glass.
The flame becomes less and less
bright as the level Of the liquid rises
into the glass. The flame is soon re-
duced to a dull whiae spot. A little
more liquid slowly added so as to
avoid pouring an excess and the flame
becomes absolutely invisible All that
remains to be done is to measure the
height Of the liquid in the glass, this
being most conveniently ascertained by
dipping into it strip of pasteboard
and then measuring the wet part. 1t
should measure not over an inch if the
milk is pure.
With good quality milk diluted and
tested as stated the depth will be
about seven-eighths of an inch before

HANDY MEDICINE CASE.
How to Make One at Home Out of
Linen or Canvas.

Linen or Canvas.
For the friend who cannot travel
without her pet remedies homemade
medicine case would make an accept
able gift. 1t is easily made to hold
ones special bottles and has the ad-
vantage of adding little weight to the
satchel or suit case.
Cut an oblong piece of heavy card
board and stitch it between two pieces
of heavy tan colored or dark red linen
or canvas. The covering is cut longer
than the cardboard on the ends to al
low for seams and stitching. The
sides of the linen are enough longer
than the board on both sides to permit
it to be folded over in envelope fash
ion when the case is closed.
When the cardboard is in place the
around. These edges may have four or
five rows of stitching or can be bound
with white linen braid or a braid of a
contrasting color. The same braid is
sewed to each end of the case TO strap
the flaps into place when folded over.
The inside of the case is finished
with two bands of the material. one
above the other. and divided into pOck-
cts to hold the various bottles Of medi-
cine The compartments are divided
by machine stitching or close brier
stitching. They should be deep enough
to hold a bottle up to it's shoulder.
Two Oblong envelopes and a long,
narrow one of the linen are added to
hold absorbent cotton. gauZe bandageS.
court plaster and few simple uten.
SilS. such as medicine drOpper, hypO-
dermic syringe case and clinical
thermometer. Between the case two
linen straps are arranged to hold a
pair Of scissors.
On the outer flap Of the case should
be embroidered initials or monogram
in tones to match the braid. Several
thickneSses of cotton batting should
be cut to just fit inside the case over
the bottle. They can be buttOnhOled
loosely in colored cotton to hold to,
gether. This covering or one of elder
down is slipped over the bottles when
travelling TO keep them from splitting.
While it is not necessary to fill this
case. it is as well to put in bottles al
least. Buy them first. so the cOmpart
ments can be made to fit. Those with
out patent shoppers are best.

WASHING OF AUTOMOBILES.
How to Preserve Original Beautiful
Luster on the Cars.


How to retain the original beautiful
luster Of his automobile is a question
that interests every motorist, for the
owner of car is usually very finicky
about it's appearance.
Some Automobiles complain that
the use of soap has resulted in the
streaking and marring of the painted
surface of their cars Edward c.
HUM of Philadelphia. who has made
a study of the subject of keeping
motorcars in a perennial condition of
newness, says that the paint on an au
tomobile can be preserved indefinitely
if the soap is dissolved and applied in
semiliquid form instead of in its raw
state
In large garage and automobile con-

much unnecessary expense is incurred
through a mistaken idea of the means
required to get the lather to proper
consistency. Employees of these es-
adjustments as we'll as owners who
wash their own cars act on the as
sumption that it is necessary to use a
large piece of soap on a sponge to get
the desired lather.
Mr.. HUM suggests that a better and
decidedly more economical method is
to dissolve twenty pounds of soap in
twenty-five gallons Of water and to use
this solution with water as occasion
demands He figures that q saving Of
% per cent will result in the soap bills

It is always with reluctance that we
criticise the actions of a local union.
We would always rather praise than
blame and have been very careful to
keep hands off the workings of the To-.
Gals. 1t is therefore in the kindliest
spirit that we feel called upon to pro.
test against what seems to us to be q
grave mistake on the part of a local
organization affiliated with the Build
ing Trades Council. We do not feel
that any union can afford to sever con.
nections with either the Trades Coun-
ell or Building Trades Council for in
the end it is bound to be disastrous.
No matter what we may imagine our
strength may be, no union is strong
enough to stand alone The concentra.
ton of the employing class should
teach us that we can never hope to
accomplish much unless we show
united front. We believe that the
union in question will realize that they
have erred in pushing their bark out
alone before many months go by. We
want to sound a note of warning now
and re-iterate our belief that the great
est good to the greatest number can,
result only when We show disposition
to overlook trivialties and put our
united strength to the wheel of in.
dustrial progress.
