CARE OF HOME TREASURES
Methods of Cleaning Thai Will Add to
Their Appearance and
Preservation.

To clean old pewter, experts usually
ind it best to dip the plates and tank
ards, as the case may be, in a basinful
of hot water in which soda crystals of
borax have been dissolved.
The water should be almost hotter
than the hands can bear, and the
pewter must be washed with a hard
nail brush and plenty of soap. To
make 1t shine there is nothing to equal
ordinary metal polish of a reliable
make, to which few drops of petrol
cum have been added The dishes
must then be washed in warm soap
suds and finally rubbed when dry with
powdered whiting, or while still wet
with whiting paste
A paste Of whiting, soap and milk is
the best for dust-stained alabaster or
naments. The paste must be left to
dry on, and then washed away, the
surface being then dried with a cloth
and then with a flannel.

When to Use Kerosene

Not all housekeepers realize the va
rious uses to which kerosene may be
put. 1t is one Of the most valuable
cleansing agents that can be kept in
the house.
A spoonful of it put into a clothes
boiler will make the clothes whittier
and sweeter than without it, nor will
there be any odor from the use of
such a small quantity In connection
with clothes, it may be said that
raw lemon, sliced, peel and all, will
have the same effect in a boiler
This preparation is efficacious in re-
moving heavy grease from childrens
clothes, especially that gathered from
automobiles and oiled streets. The
greasy portion of cloth Is laid In a
small basin and the spot is covered
with kerosene. 1t stands for an hour
more, when the cloth is rubbed be-
tween the hands or with dry cloth.

Sub iect for the Minister.

According to reports gathered by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, prac-
ucally 10 per cent of all deaths in
church congregations are caused by
tuberculosis. In study of $4,000
communicates of 725 churches in
which there were 1000 deaths in 1910,
the death rate among these church
members was found to be 2.24 for
every thousand communicates. This
is higher than the rate for the regis
tration area of the United States,
which was LEO in 1910.
While these Statistics says the
national association, ARE not com
parable from the point of view of ac-
curacy with those of the bureau of
census, suffcient credence may be
given to them to indicate that one of
the most serious problems the or
binary church has to consider is that
of the devastation of it's membership
by tuberculosis. Every minister in the
United States should give this SUBJ
ject some attention during the week
preceding or that following April %,
tuberculosis day"

BOATMAN HAD HIS OWN IDEA
Absence of Expected "Tip" Brought
Out Excellent Sample of Real
Irish Wit.

A good story of Irish repartee has
been published concerning John
Bright. He was always ready for sal
mon-fishing, and on several occasions
went to Ireland with Mr. George Pea
body, the American philanthropist.
One day Mr.. Bright. noticing a po-
Hceman on the bank, inquired Of him
what sum the boatmen were entitled
to ask for rowing up the Shannon on
days fishing. He said that from
seven shillings and sixpence to ten
shillings was the usual payment.
Mr.. Bright said to Mr.. Peabody.
Have you three half-crcwns? l have
no change"
Mr.. Peabody produced the money
and gave it to the boatman. He was
dissatisfied, and said:
"And is that all ye're giving me?"
THAT is ALL replied Mr.. Peabody.
"Well, that bates ell / liver heard"
answered the boatman. An they
call We Paybody. Faith, should call
We Pay-nobody!

FLAX GROWING
is PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE-
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
Of growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada, that many
other products of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas of wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields will
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than in any other
portion of the continent. Twenty, thir-
ty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre of wheat to the acre-yields
unusual in other parts of the wheat
growing portions Of the continent
have attracted worldwide attention,
but what of oats, which yield forty,
fifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry off the
worlds prize, which, by the way, was
also done by wheat raised in Sas-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then,
there is the barley, with it's big yields,
and it's excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and a big one is fax.
The growing of flax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him circular is
sued by prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment Of seed fax, the seeding
and harvesting, and attributes yields
of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding, imperfect and illy-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds of seed per acre and had
yield of twenty-nine bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking of proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there is cited the case of a
south of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres of summer fallow a year ago
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want of crop. Now there can be no
proper reason advanced why such
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
in the adjacent district provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner. This year 091D the
same man had one hundred acres of
summer fallow, had something over
$500 bushels of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels Of oats and 800 bushels
of flax"
There are the cattle, the horses, the
roots and the vegetable products of
Western Canada farms, all of which
individually and collectively deserve
special mention, and they are treated
of in the literature sent out on appli-
cation by the Government agents.

FINE BREAKFAST DISH
MOST APPETlZlNG WAY OF PRE-.
PAIRING SAUsAGES.
Cooked In Methods Described, Any
Lover of These Detachable Nor
sells May Partake of Them
With Enjoyment.

In vain does the cry of Socrates
come to us, down the ages-"Beware
of foods that persuade you to eat
though not hungry, and of liquors that
prevail with you to drink though not
thirsty"
A breakfast Of sausages, wheat
cakes and fragrant coffee is all that
Is needed to make us forget the hen
pecked sage's warning
Here are ways of cooking sausages
so all lovers of the delectable morsels
may eat them safely:
Instead Of frying sausages, put them
to cook in enough boiling water to al
most cover. Add no fat Simmer
gently until the water is evaporated.
Enough grease will now be rendered
from the meat to fry them, and the
casing will be unbroken. Lift the
links from the frying pan and roll in
flour. Fry until the coating is crisp
and brown
The flour prevents the sausages
from breaking open and does ont al
low the rendered grease to be reab-
sorbed. If little ground sage be
mixed with the flour, the flavor will
be improved.
The new method of paper-bag cook
cry Is excellent for cooking sausage
cakes. Shape the cakes, place in bags,
press out the air, and cook in hot oven
fifteen minutes. Open the bottom of
the bag and drain out the fat from the
bot Il
Broiled sausages with rice give a
well-balanced dish for a wintry days
breakfast Place small link sausages
on the broiler with dripping pan be-
meath, broil slowly, and serve around
a mound of creamed rice.
Sausages with baked creamed pota-
toes-To every pound Of bulk sau-
sage meat add an ounce Of ground
mived herbs. A good mixture to make
and keep on hand for such season as
this Is two ounces of ground sage, a
fourth of an ounce Of cayenne pepper,
one ounce of thyme, one ounce of ma
joram, and one Of celery salt. Shape
into cakes and fry for five minutes.
Fill baking dish with diced potatoes.
cover with cream, lay the sausage
cakes ON top, and bake in a hot oven
fifteen minutes, or until the cream is
absorbed and the meat a good color.
Where sausage is liked but cannot
be eaten on account of it's richness,
1t may be made at home and mixed
with lean beef or veal in the proper
ton most approved. Two parts lean
meat to one part pork will give mix
ture in which the pork flavor will still
predominant.
Homemade sausage is much in ia
vor, since the commercial product all
contains filler presumably some
cereal Or stale bread. The food-chop-
per now found in every kitchen does
the grinding as well as the butchers
and the particular housekeeper has
the satisfaction of knowing just what
the ingredients of the sausage are.
