Uniform Municipal Accounts.

"What's become of the proposition for
systematic town accounting in this leg
islature? This desirable feature has
been discussed good deal during the
past two years and apparently very ia
vorably received by the people, but it
does not seem to be getting ahead much
in the present legislature.-Northfeld
News.
1t probably never will get ahead until
somebody of recognized experience and
authority in such matters prepares and
offers measure that will afford some
practical means of making beginning
toward reform. The public accounts of
every community in the state should be
made according to common standard
and by a uniform system, so that any
man owning property or having inter-
ests in any town in Vermont will be
able to understood the record of its
economic condition exactly as he does
that of the town he lives in.
But it will be hard to persuade some
of our neighbors that this is desirable
and even necessary thing to do until
they see the experiment worked out
around about them. For that reason, it
might he we'll to propose a law that was
optional at the outset and encourage its
adoption by the several towns until a
little time and little experience under
it brought all the towns into line as q
matter of course.-St. Adams Messenger

HOW TO CARE FOR SILVER.
Too Much Securing VIII Wear Out
Plate and Means Needless Work.

While all homemakers take genuine
pride in the handsome appearance OF
their table silver, many find the care
of it a burden and give themselves an
unnecessary amount of labor over 1t.
The weekly cleaning. which is a bug
bear to many housewives, Is not only
needless. but n real harm, since con-
slant securing will soon wear Off Sill
Yer plate and has an appreciate er-
feet ever upon solid silver. To avoid
this it is hoped that the following
hints may prove helpful to some house
keepers:
Silver in daily use should be washed
as soon as possible after leaving the
table. following Immediately after the
glasses in the process Of dishwashing.
After a preliminary rinsing to remove
loose food lay aside any stained pieces
for future care and immerse the rest
in Il pan Of clean. hot, soapy water
Wash such pieces as need 1t with a
soft cloth and place them all in anoth-
err pan of hot water to which a table
spoonful of ammonia and a dash OF
soap have been added. Wipe the
pieces directly from this water with
out draining them. Plenty Of dry, soft
towels are required. Follow this by +;
rub with chamois skin or soft flannel
rubbing briskly, but not heavil!
enough to bend the handles.
Take the stained pieces next. Egg
stains are removed with wet salt. 9th
ers with whiting moistened with alec
hol or ammonia. After all stains hav
been removed wash and polish piece
as above. Two coarse. wide mouthe
pitchers will be found a c~onvenienc
in washing silver. Soap should neve
be rubbed directly on the silver, but
strong suds should be made with tn
soap shaker. This program may see1
somewhat elaborate at first, but If pc
sisted in it easily becomes a habit, an
the result is much more than wort
the trouble.
For the grand cleaning choose
clear, dry day. Provide yourself wit
q convenient table covered with o.
cloth or papers. Have whiting, site
three times, in a dish before you,
small bottle of alcohol, one of AZ
monia, a soft brush, flannel and &C
ton rags chamois skin and plenty
tissue paper.
Begin with the small pieces and sc
arate the sets. For the most part
rub with a cloth dipped first in alcoh
then in whiting, will be all that Is nee
ed to clean, but If the articles a
much stained make a paste of t
whiting and alcohol and apply thick
allowing it to dry on. After this clea
ing rub all the articles first with c
flannel, then with chamois, using t
brush to remove the whiting from t
ornamental work. In case there a
