treatment will kill the felon.
Soaking mildew stains in buttermilk
or sour milk will many times remove
them, but not always. Try a solution
of one heaping teaspoonful Of chic
ride of lime to quart of soft water;
strain, when well dissolved, and dip
the widowed spots in it until the
stains disappear, then rinse immedi-
ately and thoroughly in clear water.
Silver will keep bright, and much
laborious cleaning and polishing

in sour milk and left there for 20
minutes or longer. Wash it In very
hot water and polish as quickly as pos
sible Soft pieces of old f1annelette
are excellent to use In wiping and pol
ishing silver.
Do not use soap on your hardwood
floor; instead add half cup OF borax
to pail of hot water, and rinse your
mop well each time, and see how nice
and white the floor will look.

FEARS NAVY SHORTAGE OF TORPEDOES

The lack of torpedoes for our
fleet practically places the vessels OF
the United States navy at the mercy
of any foe that might attack them.
The navy has today not more than
700 torpedoes-the sinews of war that
Japan employed to wipe out the fleets
of Russia and China. This means that
we have only torpedoes enough to
fire two shots each from the 463 tor
pedo tubes of our warships. II these
first shots did not destroy the enemy,
our destroyers. submarines and torpe-
do boats might just as well never have
been built"
This was the astounding condition
