Stale Tobacco -. - ,. -,
~ Gives Bad 0dor

. There is no odor. more disa agreeable
than that of stale tobacco smoke and
tobacco ashes. Sometimes a room be-
comes so permeated with it that 1t be-
comes hardly possible for delicate
persons to breathe in 1t. Here Is a
remedy suggested by an Englishwom-
an who suffered and overcame:
Close the room up well overnight,
with doors and windows tightly shut,
and leave in 1t a large pail full of
water, with few wisps of straw. For
some reason, the water and straw to-
gether absorb the smoke, and even
take up the odor of ashes. Needless
to say, all discoverable ashes should
previously have been removed and
thrown away.
BY morning the room is odorless.
and little airing will cool II out and
put II again in condition for use.

H B.-No, 1 do not approve Of scrub
bing the face, as my experience has
been that 1t enlarges the pores and in
many cases makes the skin coarse and
red; It has often caused pimples. You
can scrub the body all you like as 1t
helps to throw OF the effete matter that

Boiled Potatoes
Good. for Cleaning

substitute for soap when the hands
have become soiled by contact with
bIackened pots and pans Potato
water should, besides, be kept for
renoyating silk.
Although vinegar may be used to
clean the outside OF copper cooking
utensils, care should be taken to
avoid letting any fall on the tin lin
ing of the pan. To clean the pan
inside and out, by far the best method
is to scrub it with soda, hot water,
and soap. The outside may then be
polished with a rag dipped in vinegar.

II Little Bedtime 7 ales By EDITH HAvENs II

NNCE upon a time. in a little town
~ of Scotland called Greenock on the
Clyde there was a little lad named
James Watt.
He was very delicate and couldn't go
to school like other boys and girls, so
he used to sit at home watching the
tea kettle singing over the fire.
He lived with his grandmother and
she used to scold sometimes because he
seemed to do nothing but watch the
steam that made the top of the kettle
go bob. bob, bob" when the water
was boiling, but all the time the little
lad was dreaming of the mighty power
that lay in those few drops of wafer,
which could lift the heavy kettle lid SO
easily.
Day and night he used to sit in the
corner by the fire, with big purring
pussy cat on his knee and read and
study and plan how If that steam were
put Into tiny pipes where it could non
escape, how strong 1t would be. Much
stronger than was his little body.
And he used to whisper tales of what

TT 7 z know what It means when
N/ one of the family observes
~ critically, You got out of
bed on the wrong side this
morning." We are instantly antagon-
lzed TO reply that the other probably
knows by experience. Perhaps we do
feel that the day has begun wrong for
us; but since we are obliged to go on
with 1t, We should rather not be re-
minded of our own perversity.
To give in to ones momentary feel
fngs is about the easiest thing in the
world. Women, because they have no
more of what is called feelings" learn
in time to live outside the luxury of
moods. If they didn't, they would be
submerged. And so whatever traits
they lack, the palm for patience and
endurance is generally conceded to
them.
Moods are interesting when YOU don't
have to live with them. But the man or
woman who cannot be approached be-
cause he or she is 'in a mood" ought

with nobody to afflict but goat-or

Surrounded by
Dense Atmosphere.
There was certain man who, when
he induIged in the luxury of moods,
surrounded himself with an atmosphere
dense as a London fog. You couldn't
cut 1t; and he wouldn't have been con-
cerned had the house burned down.
Sometimes he called it his liver or his
stomach; but he was not master of his
moods-his moods had him. The man
was so fond of his tantrums that once
he went to photographer with the re-
quest to be Photographed in a mood.
The photographer, anxious to please, re-
marked jovially, IAN right, sir-now,
approach me with thy mood!" But,
alas! Halfway to the platform the
mood departed. The expected sitter
could not recall 1t, and he would not
be portrayed noodles. His family have
no photograph.

tempers, moods; our lazIness, our de-
spondency, even our pet individual sell

Presbyterian Minister Accused Of
Heresy, Pleads Before the
General Assembly,
HAS A BROAD CONCEPTION
He Insists, However, That He Is
Not Unorthodox in His
Views.

ATLANTIC CITY. N l., May 2G.-Thc
Rev William n. Grant of NUrthumDer-
-lsrd. Pa. who is accused of hcresy ap-
peared today before the judicial commit
tee OF the Presbyterian general assembly
and was given a chance 10 speak. He
denied that he Is unorlhodoN IN his views
and attempted To Justify his broad con-
caDtion OF God. Christ and The miracles
by quoting from sermons preached by the
Rev. Mr.. Charles Little of Wabash. Ind,
from sermons from DR.. Jowett. the min
lister who was brought from England Il
NIL the pulpit Of the Fifth avenue Preshy-
terian church. New York.
According 10 DIR. Grant. both these
clergymcu in sermons during the pres
ent assembly refers 10 the broader con-.
ception of theology now prevalent which
was giving the people a better and cloar
er undersia nding. Dr Grant said IN part:
"The appellee would state without any
reservation thai his purpose and meth
ods had ever been as it is now, to con
firm men In the truth as IL is In Jesus
and as presented in the doctrindi stan
iards Of the Presbyterian church Ai
ns NE he has been Presbyterian and
Scotland have held 10 this faith. II
would be a great grcf, therefore, 10 him
n through any miscarriage OF justice hs
should be debarred from continuing in
2 ministry that has the greatest JOY for
him and To which moro than TO any
thing else. he owes his mental and spirit
uel development.
NO one could be more deeply regret
fu than the appellee ii anything said or
written could give ohense To his fellow
ministers of the church or TO members
Of his congregation. The church is cer
:ainly broad enough To permit Diversity
ri opinion on matters not essential TO
salvation The Rev. DR.. Little himself
said as much as this.
The conception of God III the earlier
part OF the Old Testament" DIR. Grant
added, was of an entirely different being
than The conceptions in the latter part
and in the New Testament"
Tn proof OF this he adduccd the Incl
dent OF the slaughter OF the Shulamtes
hv the children OF Israel. and said he
did not believe God deliberately handed
over 10, 600 people to death. Nor" said
he do ! think any man in this room be-
ieyes such Il monstrouS thing nor that
our dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
believed it
During the hearing two charges against
Dr. Grant were WITHDRAW wu. namely the !
discreditinz OF the Virgin birth of Christ |
end the discreditirs OF the resurrection |
as an actual arising from the dead Of !
Jesus Christ
