HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Oilcloth shauld never be washed
with soapy water. Soap Is apt TO
spoil the color. Use lukewarm wa
ter with few drops Of ammonia in
II and a soft cloth.
The Japanese printed tablecloths'
doilies and centerpieces simplify the
problem of table laundry in the sum
mer time. They need no starching
and are easily ironed.
Something new in the shops-jelly
cups of paraffine paper with lid
which fits perfectly tight. They can
be washed with soap and water and
used a second time.
A nourishing and pleasant drink
can be made for the invalid by beat
ing the white of an egg Just enough
TO make it froth. then add the juice
of an arrange and a little sugar and
cracked ice.
Reproductions OF the old graystone
cider pitcher with quaint blue designs
can now be had in the shops for a
very small sum. They are excellent
for milk. lemonade OF water. Put
milk into one of these stone pitch
nrs and stand It IN the refrigerator
until it is cold through. When you
are ready to serve it the pitcher viii
keep the milk cold for a long time.
One delightful way to put up to-
matoes for winter use is 20 cut the
tomatoes In half (do not peel them)
Put a little lard IN the pan and fry
she tomatoes until brown on both
sides, then put them carefully into
alright Jars, I'll the Jar TO the very
top with the juice, forcing out all the
air, then seal. When you are ready
TO use the tomatoes lift them out,
put them in a pan, heat and make the
dressing.
Dried sweet corn is a most salts
factory way OF keeping corn for win
teruse, and Il is so simple. Order
from your marketman or gather from
your own garden a little more each
daythan you need, boil it, and when
Il is cooled. cut the kernels from the
cob with a sharp knife. Put clean
piece of white paper in the bottom of
baking pan and spread one layer of
corn over the bottom Of the pan, then
put It IN a cool oven, allowing the
door 10 stand open. Don't dry II too
quickly, but gradually. until each
grain Of corn is thoroughly hard and
dry: then put II in a rather thin mus
lin bag and hang Il in a perfectly dry
place Put each days drying into the
bag until It is full. When you cook
it, take It from the bag. blow out the
chaff. wash II and put It on 10 boil
I'm cold water. One terspoonful oi
dried corn will serve six persons.

Why Mercer Should Be Elected 'a. 70
Congress from the Third District

Congress-. He looks forward tothe
time when the Interests shallnot be
able to put their handslntoth peo-
pie ) treasury and grab greedllywhat
they want. lie looks to the time
when the government shall, by the
right kind Of encourae ement, tram
ing and stimulus, see to it that the
great agricultural classes shall have
their due and their opportunity
You are right, brother, when you
saw that we need good farmers. We
need them more than we need any
other classes Of developers. But we
are never going to get them unless
the government lays a firm and
steady hand Oh the abuses that have
aeeced the farming classes Of their
rights. We shall never have the
general turning to agriculture as a
Iife-work that the resources Of cur
country demand until the law -mak-
ing bodies see to it that there is the
proper protection, legislation and
encouragement for the farmer
Farmer Mercer does not claim SUI
perior merit over his opponents. He
| is a modest man, and is perfectly
willing to have his record speak Tor
him. Neither does he decry his OPP
ponents. But he does claim that he
| knows thoroughly the needs and the
interests Of the people Of the Third
district. He is familiar with the
conditions existing in this splendid
block of agricultural and business
territory. If he is elected he will DO
| all in his power to promote and fur
| Their these interests.
Mr.. Mercer does not believe that
the agricultural classes of this coun-
try have had fair and equitable re-
cognition in the apportionment Of
congressional honors. The records
show that there is only one farmer
from Georgia in CongressHon-
Dudley M. Hughes and he has
made COON. It is not that Mr.. Mer-
Ger thinks there are too many farm
ers in Congress, but too few farmers.
He does not ask for the votes Of the
people just because he is a farmer.
Ike does not expect to De elected
just on that ground, Far from it.
He asks the privilege and seeks the
fhonor of representing the 3rd dis
trict for the good that he can do in
securing for his constituency the
legislation and recognition that are
its due.
There are those who cannot think
of the farmer as a type of the wide
awake, thinking American. They
still look for hayseed in his hair,
/ and expect him to blow out the gas.
They are behind the times, these
would be critics. They haven't kept
up with the facts. They don 'tseem
Ito know that while he has been
Iplowing he has been thinking. While
he has been filling the broad acres
he has demonstrating his mind, and
making ready for the reception Of
dynamic ideas.
This is the type Of farmer Mr..
Mercer represents. He is a man Of
unimpeachable integrity, and his
devotion to the cause committed to
his keeping would be Of kind to
stand the heaviest tests.
Mr.. Mercer win be an honor to
the 3rd district, and vote for him
means a vote for the right man.

ReInforesd Concrete Of old Rome.

Although concrete has been used
for many centuries, 1t is generally sup.

Of an ancient Roman tomb, and in the
discovery Of reinforced concrete in
the construction Of one of the walls
Of the old palace of the Louvre, Paris.
