How to Freshen WiIted Lettuce.

The French housekeeper never throws
away her precious lettuce or other gar
nishing green merely because 1t is
wilted. Instead. she gives 1t a judicious
treatment that restores 1t to state Of
comforting crispness again and thus
saves not only her money, but her time
as WELL
First Of all, the discouraged salad
green has refreshing bath in cool
water. after which all the superfuous
drops are shaken off. Then it is put in
an air tight pail in the coolest place
possible for an hour or two. When the
receptacle is opened the green is found
to be in perfect condition. 1t is kept
covered until just before it is to be
served.
If ice is not available for the fresh
ening process set the pail in pan of
running water with cool cloth over
the top of it and weight to keep it
from fitting over. This works like Il
charm in the case of parsley. cress. etc
An empty coffee can is good recep
tacle for this purpose. scalded. of
course. to fresh 'odorlessness and kept
for that purpose alone.

THE CRY OF TOLL

WE have fed you all for thousand
w years..
And you hail u still unfed
Though there's never a dollar of your
wealth
But marks the workers dead
We have yielded our best to give you rest,
And you lie on a crimson wool,
For II blood be the price Of all your wealth,
Good God. we ha' paid it in full!
THERE'S never a mine blown skyward
now
But we're buriee alive for you:
There's never wreck drifts shoreward
now
But we are its CHASTITY crew.
Go reckon our dead by the FORCES red
And the factories where we spin.
II blood be the price Of your cursed wealth,
Good God. we ha' paid It in!
WE have fed you all for thousand
For that was our doom. you know.
From the day when you chained us in
your fields
To the strike Of q week ago:
You ha' eaten our lives and our babes and
wives.
And we're told it's your legal share,
But II blood be the price of your lawful
wealth,
Good God. we ha' bought 1t fair!

HARDWOOD FLOORS.
How to Keep Them Clean and In Good
Condition.

How to Keep Them Clean and In Good
Condition.
Concerning the care Of the hardwood
foor--"and them as has 'em must tend
'em"-Country Life of recent date
says:
Wax affords the best protection fer
the floor. as the nails in the shoe. un
less unusually sharp will slide a bit
ON the wax without breaking its sur
face or injuring the sheiac under
meath. Use good hard floor wax. The
various wakes upon the market are
better than any which you could mix.
They are neither pure beeswaX nor
pure parafiin. for these would never
harden, but would catch dust and be-
come grainy.
Apply a very thin coat Of this pre-
pared wax to the floor. The tendency
Is to use far too much wax. Only a
thin film should he left upon the floor
and this should be permitted to set for
twenty or thirty minutes before using
the weighted brush. This is rubbed
first across the grain. and then piece
of soft brussels carpeting under the
brush will increase the luster.
In the regular care Of n wax finished
floor dry deck mop should be used
for removing the loose dust. This will
be enough if careful oversight is kept
to see that any dulled places receive
little wax and rubbing with the
eraser If small, with the brush ii lar
ger. whenever they need it. whether
that is once a week or once a month.
The whole floor ought not to need wax
ing oftener than once year If the
wax is used clear and twice year If
It is used over shellac.
