USES OF SALT.
Some Household Suggestions That
Will be Found Useful
if Tried.

If lamp chimneys are rubbed over
with salt after washing, a more
brilliant light is the result. Var
ious kitchen appointments and uten-
sils also derive benefit from the APP
plication of salt. The sink and
pipes connected with it can be kept
fragrant and free from grease by
being flushed twice a week with hot
brine; to rub over the inside of a
dishpan daily with dry salt achieves
the same end, and saucepans will
always smell sweet if, after securing
inside and out, they are rinsed first
with hat sailed water, then with
plain cold, carefully dried and put
away.
Discolored crockery should be rub
bed with dry salt, enameled cooking
vessels with a flannel, or if much
stained, with lemon-skin dipped in
the same; copper utensils respond
to the latter treatment, while milk
pans should be given an occasional
securing with dry salt, being after
wards scalded, rinsed and dried in
the usual way. If, when cleaning
silver or plated spoons which have
been stained by being used for eggs,
a little salt is rubbed on the bowl,
the stain will be at once removed
A little salt put in the washing

PLAN NOW FOR CROWD.

Columbia is to be host to several
thousand visitors next fall. 1t must
be ready to feed and furnish beds to
all who come to see the Kansas foot
ball game-and there win be many. Ii
will be by far the biggest job of en-
tertaining Columbia has ever under
taken.
Preparation for this crowd of visi-
tors is the chief consideration in OBJ
city. Columbia should be sure there
will be plenty of bread for them TO
eat and enough beds for them to sleep
on. And it is also Columbia's duty to
see that the railroads furnish enough
trains on the branch lines to carry the
crowds into Columbia.
1t is no small undertaking to be
host to a thousand visitors-to say
nothing of several thousand. Kansas
City has used practically every one
of its hotel rooms to accommodate a
MissouriKansas football crowd. Co
lumbia can not hope to care for even
large part of the crowd in hotels.
The whole town will be none too
large. In fact many students already
have chosen the corner of the room
in which they will stand while some
'Old grad" sleeps in their beds.
The many details of entertaining
this large crowd cannot be attended
to the day before the game, nor the
week before, nor the month before.
Plans should be made now.
