Do you know that coffee stains, ever
when there Is cream In the coffee, can
be removed from the most delicate silk
or wooden fabrics by brushing the spots
with pure %glycerin? Rinse In luke
warm water and press on the wrong
side until quite dry. The glycerin alb
serbs both the coloring matter and the
grease.
Do you know IL a cloth is wetted in
vinegar and wrung out as dry as pos
sible with the hands and wrapped
around cheese and then the whole put
in a large paper bag and kept In a
cool place the cheese will retain the
moisture and freshness of a newly cut
cheese and will not mold.
Do you know that in peeling apples
the brown satin that generally appears
on peeled slices can be avoided by set
ting each slice as it is peeled in a basin
of cold water7 Thus no contact with
the air is possible, and the stain is
avoidable.
The water draws out the acids, and
there is a sacrifice of flavor to color If
this plan is used and the apples are
soaked too long. Any discolored slices
will turn white again If rubbed with
a piece of lemon.
Do you know hat sometimes the
most careful washing will not remove
the flavor and odor of food from the
utensil In which it was cooked?
This is frequently the case with fish,
onion, cabbage, etc, but there is a
remedy which may be a little trouble
and yet is well worth trying. After
any of these articles have been cooked
wash the utensil well with soap and
water. Then nearly I'll it with cold
water and for each quart of water add
one tablespoonful of dissolved washing
soda.
Place on the fire and let the water
get boiling hot. Now pour the water
into the sink. Rinse the utensil with
clean water, and on wiping 1t dry it
will be found perfectly sweet. :

TO IMPROVE
S0UTHFIELD
:. BOULEVARD

The latest movement In reference
to the Southfeld Boulevard which,
II carried into effect, is going to
make Staten Island even more pop
ular with Automobiles than at pre-
sent. 1t will add greatly to the
safety of the public, especially on
the winding Richmond and Amboy
roads.
w. ]. Morgan, president of the
Motor Contest Association, and man
ager of the New York department Of
the New York Globe, accompanied
by Thomas F. Low, of Chicago, and
A. H. Damon, Of the New York Au-
tomobiIe Club, have visited the Is
land several times during the past
week.
These gentlemen are very much
interested In the improvement of the
South1eld Boulevard, and. instead
of having 1t extended to ~Tottenville,
In accordance with the present plans,
would have it extended eastward SO
as to connect with Vanderbilt ave-
nue., and also become a state boule-
ward or highway.
So deeply In earnest are these gen
t1emen in securing this great i'm
~provement, that they have called
upon H. e. Buel, superintendent of
highways, who Is also very much in
favor of making an effort in secur-
ing state aid.
Mr.. Morgan believes that, as thou
sands Of automobiles help to burn
up the roads Of Staten Island and
pay for licenses only to the state,
a part OF that money should be used
for maintaining out highways. He
says that out Of the thousands of au-
tomobiles that pass here, few indeed
know anything about the boulevard.
These people never pay a cent to-
ward the maintenance Of our roads,
or for their improvement. Neither
does the state contribute a cent in
this direction.
The automobile licenses for the
State OF New York for six months
expiring on February 1. 1911,
amount to 100000, and 1t Is only
just and reasonable that a portion
Of hat money should come to Staten
Island.
The Indications are that some
thing OF Importance will be done in
the matter of the boulevard during
the present year.
