Kitchen Kinks

Elasticity is restored to rubber
by soaking it in one part ammonia
and two parts clear water until
the desired results are obtained.
This is specially true in the case
OF rings or other articles that
have become stiff and brittle.
Keep a piece OF sandpaper
handy to the sink where the dishes
are washed. 1t will prove invalu-
able. When stubborn spot on a
burned kettle refuses to move
through the aid OF a wire dish
cloth, use a piece OF sandpaper. Ii
is an aid in cleaning gas stove.
Fold a piece over a knife and you
can quickly remove all grease or
dried food that sticks to the cor
ners.
Cut sheets of tinfoil and place
under the flower vase dollies and
you will have no trouble with any
dampness affecting the best poll
ished furniture.
Every woman knows the irrita-
ton of finding a favorite waist,

A clever housewife, however, has
thought out way to launder such
an article of clothing quickly.
Wash the garment and starch as
usual, but instead OF hanging il
out in the open air, lay flat on a
very heavy Turkish towel.
Then, beginning at one end, roll

them. His studio was in the heart
of Bohemia, and Mrs. Newgold felt
quite fluttered at the idea OF
leaving her severely provincial
life for peep into ala vie de
boheme." "Whatever l see strange
| won't make any remark" she
said to herself as she lolled back
in her limousine. She expected to
find herself shocked at every turn
by the persons she might meet
there, but was determined to show
she was a woman of the world.
The door was opened by a
comedy young woman in a black
dress, with a plain linen collar.
Anstruther was waiting for her at
the door of the studio. To the
visitors surprise the room was
large, well lighted, absolutely neat
and clean. A few sketches on the
wall, a drapery over chair and
an easel at the far end were all
the signs of the use it was put to.
Then there were comfortable
chairs and some small tables scat
tered about. Mrs. Newgold almost
rubbed her eyes with astonish-
ment. Where were the girls in
kimonos and slippers, the heaps
of half-smoked cigarettes, the
empty glasses and bottles she had
so frequently read about?
The artist showed her his paint
lngs, and she bought several that
took her fancy; but all the time
she was casting glances into an
adjacent room, from whence came
the sound of female voices and
laughter. Oh of course, they were
the models, and they were hiding
until she had gone. Anstruther
OWNED her thought and called
out: "Nina, Bertha, Lucie, come
here" and the girl who had open
ed the door appeared with two
others. Mrs. Newgold recognized
Nina as the model of the first
picture she had bought. She won
dered what they would talk about
Did they go to the theater muchi
Not very often; they were toe
busy. How did they spend their
evenings? Oh, at the home of one
or another; reading, making music
while their men folk, with a look
at the artist, played chess OF
made sketches for future work
Mrs. Newgold felt all this wa:
not at all Bohemian; suddenly she
said: "But | am preventing you
from getting on with your work
Don't let me interfere"
"Oh," said Anstruther, my models
never pose before anyone at al
except the artist. 1t is great
principle with all respectable
models. Anyway, we had our sit
ting this morning, and this after
noon they are only here as guests.

Watching Moths Eat Clothes

Each year a housewives fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of-not
love, but clothes-moths. The dam
age this creature does is very
small compared with such organ
isms as bacteria, but ii is large
enough to cause the housekeeper
considerable uneasiness and dis
quiet. Many a fur or wooden gar
ment has been ruined by the cater
pillar Of the moth, for the moth
itself has no jaws and takes no
food.
But the caterpillar Of the clothes
moth has certain unique peculiar
tiles which make him as much a
matter of interest as of resent
ment. Like a very few other in
sects he makes for himself q
portable house from the fiber OF
the goods whereon he is living
constantly charging this house as
he grows. This house, or case, OF
tunic, as il may be called, being
the same color as the fabric acts
as a protection, for only the head
and three pairs of legs of the
caterpillar emerge from the front
of it. AS the caterpillar grows in
length he adds a few more hairs
to the front OF it, cementing II
there with a slime that il exudes
and since the creature is very
flexible it can turn round in the
tube and put its head out Of the
tail end and add few fibers there
also. In this manner the cater
pillar not only completely pro-
tects himself, but his disguise
is perfected and it takes SHARP
eyes indeed to locate him.

boards and placing the cement
mixture inside. This wall should
be at least ten inches above Level
of SOIL twelve to eighteen
/ inches below and should
then be filled level full with soil.
The house may be placed on this
! foundation without a floor and
good results will follow. If the soil
is heavy, then the foundation
should be a foot wide, of cement,
and should be built high enough
so the building will be ten inches
above the highest point Of ground;
good tight floor should be laid.
Never place the building close to
the ground. If you do it makes
good rat harbor; and then, too,
the house is more liable to be
damp, a thing that must be
av oided. BY placing it high, it
gives plenty of ventilation, and as
sures dry litter on the floor at
all times of the year.
The houses should be placed SO
the windows will admit the sun
light especially during the winter
months. Sunshine is the best medi-
cine in the poultry house. Dryness
comes next; il the lower part OF
the building is properly made, the
only thing then needed to assure
this, is the construction Of water
shingles, galvanized iron, or pre-
pared roofing but the latter seems
best adapted to poultry houses.
There are different makes and
grades; thus you will be able to
purchase at price within your
means what you wish for this pur-
pose.
Ventilation is another important
point TO be needed in poultry
house construction, and the ques-
ton of how il should be done, is
important. 1t should never be al
lowed to take place through
cracks, or, in any way that will
cause a draft upon the fowls.
An open front house, if properly
constructed, gives good results,
but the proportion of size of the
building must be correct, and the
remainder of the building must be
warmly constructed to give salts
faction. However, the writer does
not believe in extremes, and gives
this as "happy medium" Never
put too much glass in your poultry
house; but what you do use place
so it will run from floor 10
roof rather than from side to
side; the glass should be near
center of pen. This will permit the
sunshine to cover the floor of the
pen during a winters day. Fol-
ventilation make an opening beside
the glass the same size as the
window, making frame cover
with cloth This may be hinged SC
as to permit it's being raised on
bright, warm days. This arrange
ment OF a poultry house has
given us the best satisfaction, and
we highly recommend it to others
The house is 10 by Is feet
divided into two pens by 10 feet
the front being Z feet and the
back 5 feet. This requires Il
foot board, IL foot
roof boards, and IL foot boards
for ends, and where floor is laid
is foot boards are best. The
material used in the construction
of the house is 6-inch matched
lumber, the whole frame being
made Of by material, placing
three by As lengthwise in front
back and ends, with matched lum-
Der up and down. The floor sup

democratic cry for ECONOMY, the an

dollars.
While the total Of the annual APP
propriations for this year will be be-
tween six and ten million less than last
year. the saving il only an apparent
one. The difference will be made up
by deficiency bills passed early next
session. and by failure to provide for
improvements % made in the past.
The actual running expenses of the
government have not been affected by
the democratic regime. Allowances for
public buildings and other improve
ments have been diminished, and only
one battelship has been authorized.
But one member Of the senate put it:
THAT democrats have not shown they

into modern Haround Al Raschid.
Almost daily ii Is his custom to drive
about the city and turnout the near by
country. talking to some of the poorer
people. learning their views OF life and
conditions without disclosing his iden-
tity.
Sometimes he Is accompanied by mis-
old friend and physician. DR.. H. r:

except for his chauffeur.
No part OF the city is TOO mean for
his visits, and he will talk to the
raggedest little urchin or the most
dirt -begrimed worker from the oie
n,i,ls Sometimes the men discover
who he is. and then he quickly drives
away as he does not want to be known
as the richest man.
Frequently these Caliph OF Basad
trims take him along the country roads.
when he will give some wayfarer n1t
.rd often go out of his way to take the
man to his destination just to hear him

spend the larger part OF a day there
wandering about the village. talking %
everybody. He goes into the village
grocery, buys up big stock OF cand9
and then distributes it among the chill
dren.
But few know who he is and most
often he is referred to as the "old gem
tleman in the gray suit"
Rockefeller was always fond OF chill
dren. but as he grows older this trait
becomes stronger. and seldom does a
day pass during the summer that ne
does have his chauffeur pick up a
bunch of "kiddies' along the road, and
take them for a spin.
Sometimes he will take them to their
