MARRYING PARsON
At THE OLD STAND
BRISTOL'S ASSISTANT TO CUPID
HAPPY OVER LEGISnA-
TURE'S MOVE,

BRISTOL, VA, April 1s.--"I ex-
pected nothing but Justice" said Rev.
Alfred II. Burroughs. the marrying
parson of Bristol. when told that the
lower house of the Tennessee legis-
lature has killed the measure by which
his Gretna Green business was to
have been abolished.
The parson smiled good naturediy.
He was then standing at the union
depot with two umbrellas dangling
from his arm awaiting the arrival OF
the next young couple from v1r-
ginia.
Parson Burroughs, who is now near
ing fourscore years, has been active
ly In. league with Cupid for nearly
a quarter Of century, during which
time he has married thousands of
young lovers who eloped from the
Vfrginias, and on account of the
steady growth Of this unique business
he few years ago had erected a
hotel especially for the entertainment
OF bridal couples.

which is according to all logic. The
Phillies beat Tenneys team and the
same comment holds true. Cincin-
natl beat st. Louis. and the exception
that proves the rule is the fact that
the Pirates lost to the Cubs. But then
Adams pitched. To one on the out

In the first division. With Overall out.
Steinfeldt missing and Mr.. Chance
none too good on first, the latter day
history of the Cubs is about due TO
appear.
In the American League Boston lost
to the Athletics by one run. That
score looks good for the Red Sox
boyy for the rest OF the season. A
game won or lost. mostly lost, by
run will be about their size. New
York beat Washington. which was TO
have been expected, and Chicago beat
the Browns.

Eaus for Sick Children.

Eggs are often ordered to strength
en- a child who has been i'll and no
way is better to cook an. egg than
what is called coddling.
Put newly-laid egg into boiling wa
ter with the shell on. Immediately re-
move it from the fire. The egg then
cooks slowly and thoroughly, and when
the water is cool enough it can be
lifted out and opened. 1t will be found
to be of a jellylike consistency, par
ticularly delicious and digestible.
The white of an egg, if necessary
for a child's nourishment, may often
be conveyed to the child without his
knowing it in orange juice This is
prepared as follows: To the white of
an egg add the juice of one orange
and little sugar. Strain in carefully
and set it away until it is very cold.
Then serve it with a dry biscuit if

CARE OF The SILVER
WEEKLY CLEANING DOES NOT
NEED TO BE BUGBEAR.
90 Little Washing Each Morning.
Use Silver in Rotation, and the
Big Task Is Made Easy
Other Short Cuts.

Keeping our table silver as bright
aud polished as when it was given to
US, is not usually reckoned an easy
thing. How soon the tarnish appears.
even on the tableware we are using
every day-so easy to come, so hard to
get rid of, Yet really, the weekly
sllver-cleaning" does not need to be
the bugbear that many women find it.
There are easier ways, far simpler
than that customary old way which in
volved the use of rather mussy pow
der, any number of cloths, some hours
OF time, and a great deal Of "elbow
grease" Women are clever at find
Ing short cuts that are not only easier
but do the work better.
Do you clean all your silver at once,
on one special day? If so, try anoth-
er way, just for one week and see if it
doesn't seem better one First, as
to the actual washing. Get a splint
grape basket and put all the silver IN
this Set it in the dishpan, run hot
water over 1t. Make a good suds with
soap or powder, use dishmop 20
clean it so as not to scald your hands
Rinse it in the same basket; then lit
out the basket, drain and dry as usual.
Now comes my chief point. Have close
at hand, in a drawer or on a shelf, all
your silver-cleaning paraphernalia--
soap, powder and paste, brush, cloths
and chamois. What a simple matter
to polish UP all the silver to its nor
NAL brightness here and now, before
uptting away! Do little after each
mornings dish-washing, and use all
your silver in rotation, and your week
ly silver-cleaning bugbear has disap,
peared! 1t doesn't have to be clean
edit just stays clean.
However, if this way does not appeal
to everybody, there are other expedi-
ents Did you ever try boiling your
silver and see how the Turkish bath
affects it? Do it in your largest alu-
minum kettle-no other will answer.
Or, put it all into a large shallow pan
and sprinkle it with baking soda. then
pour on plenty of boiling water. Let
it stand without boiling until cool
enough to allow you to handle the
silver. Then take it out, one piece at
time, and wipe dry. A third way is
to use one tablespoonful of ammonia
in dishpan of scalding water, drying
after it has stood half an hour Any
of these methods will brighten your
silver wonderfully.
Still another idea is to keep near
your sink a small sponge on which you
have-after wetting it-rubbed good
deal of silver powder-then allowed
to dry. Then, when your silver is still
wet, rub it with the sponge to brighten
it. This is especially good for the
smaller pieces
