HINT ON CLEANING CARPETS
With a Little Care Soiled Floor Gov
erlng Can Be Made to Look
Bright and Clean.

Many a housewives heart aches
when she notices spots which mar the
beauty Of her living room, carpet or
bedroom carpet; but there is way to
remove them. Mix together a quantity
of fuller's earth and enough boiling
water to make paste. Apply this
mixture to the grease spots while 1t is
quite hot and do not brush it away
until it is thoroughly dry. Equal guam
titles of magnesia and fuller's earth
moistened with boiling water will
prove especially eficacious if applied
to the spots.
If carpets are very dirty, they may
be successfully washed in the follow
ing manner:
To every two gallons of boiling wa
ter add one ounce of yellow soap and
one dram of soda. With a clean fan
mel, dipped in this liquid, wash the
carpet well, doing small portion at
a time Rinse with clean hot water
and allow the carpet to dry. The colors
will be greatly improved by after
ward applying a cloth dipped in am
monia.

"MAN'S BEST FRIEND"
DOGS EMPLOYED AS GUARDS BY
GREEK ARMY.
They Replace Railway sentries and In
Paris Render Valuable Aid
to the PoIlce-Are Above
Bribery.

After several attempts had been
made to damage the railways used for
the transportation of Greek troops
into Turkish territory, dogs were en-
ployed to guard the lines, the Greek
government being unable to spare SOL
diers for the purpose. The results
were excellent At Larissa in particu-
lar the entire railroad line was efica-
ciously protected by dogs.
So much interest has been aroused
in Europe by this new use for dogs
and the success of the experiment
that reports have been officially asked
for by the various European military
authorities concerning the special
training of the dogs.
For several years perfectly trained
police dogs have been found invalu-
able In Paris, and they have been as
signed to important duties. All along
the banks of the Seine dogs watch for
accidents If careless passenger op
an unwary boatman falls off one OF
the many boats and barges plying
constantly up and down the Seine,
one of the big, beautiful Newfound-
land river guards bounds into the wa
ter to the rescue barking to give the
alarm and after swimming with the
limp body to the shore. Even the
bridges are. closely watched by the
dogs, for from the Seine bridges many
despairing men and women leap into
| the river, hoping thus to end their
misery.
1t is now believed that countless
railway wrecks due to deliberate de,
sign during labor troubles could be
| prevented If railroad sections were
policed by dogs. Their efficacy in this
duty has been unquestionably proved
| in the Balkan war.
Dogs are now used to escort pris-
oners to and from jail in Paris. They
will courageously attack their enemy
even when fired upon, as notorious
bandit found to his cost during a re-
cent struggle to escape while being
conveyed to trial. This is result
obtained by careful training.
How to defend his master is an
other important lesson taught the pc
! lice dog. The dog must snarl ana due
as soon as an attempt to hold up his
master is made. In this the police
dog is developing marvellous qualities
Guarding property is another of the
police dogs duties, and in this also
he has proved himself an adept. Ar
| ticles left in his care are safe ano
| faithfully watched.
His moral training forms as much
of a police dogs education as his pro
| fessional lesson. He is taught to be
honest and faithful and not to accept
bribe The latter is important be
cause poisoned meat Is often Offered
to these dogs. The police dog soor
learns to eat nothing but what his
master serves him, and is an example
to many men in his resistance to
temptation.

PROPER CARE OF CUT GLASS
If Treated With Proper Consideration
Glassware Should Last for
Many Years.

When glassware is treated with con-
but in the hands of careless maid its
beauty is soon marred by cracks or
broken edges. When a few simple
precautions are followed it's brilliancy
and fiawless surface will remain for
years in a state of preservation.
Tepid water, the best CASTLE or 9TH
er pure soap, and a stiff brush are
the first essentials. After washing
and rinsing place the cut glass in
lockwood sawdust This will absorb
the moisture in the cutting. Next
remove the sawdust from the plain
surfaces with a soft cloth. By fol

and then rinse out with a little teptd
water
A very important point is to avoid
sudden changes from extreme heat
to extreme cold and vice versa. A
pitcher or tumbler which has been
filled with ice water, tray that has
been used for ice cream, if plunged
at once into hot water will be apt
to crack. Use tepid water and the
risk of breakage Is avoided
The sudden change from heat to
cold Is just as dangerous. Glass
ware should never be removed from
closed cabinet where it has become
heated and brought Immediately into
contact with a cold substance. Cool
the glass for time in water before
subjecting it to the extreme tempera.
