Economy
Hints

Benjamin Franklin.
AHE present high cost Of living
reminds one of the housewife
who, looking at Niagara falls

"HE present high cost Of living
reminds one of the housewife
who, looking at Niagara falls
for the first time, said. "Oh.
this big splash of water reminds me
that left the kitchen tap running"
Like this visitor to the falls many wo-
men keep a weather eye out for big
economies and leave the tap Of little
savings running. Taking care Of
clothes Is a means Of much saving to
the woman who will spend time and
thought upon her wardrobe. Every
woman knows the ruinous sums 1t
costs each season to have her evening
frocks. light suits and silk blouses and
other unwashable materials cleaned.
Where gasoline is possible as renOva-
tor she may sometimes try the expert
ment Of doing little Of her own clean
ing, but 1t is seldom successful, and 1t
is as hard to lose the odor Of gasoline
as 1t is to acquire the odor of sanctity.
Also 1t is dangerous.
Therefore the knowledge Of some
simple methods Of dry cleaning that
can be done ut home and that leave no
trace Of the process would save maLy
"A precious dollar to the woman who Is
running to the limit of her allowance
for dress. The materials required are
very simple-fuller's earth. block mag
nesia, boracic talcum powder. flour and
borax or even plain cornmeal. The
first three can be bought by the ounce
or pound from any druggist. and the
others are always in the pantry or
store chest.
For white silk blouse it is perfectly
safe to use either the meals or talcum
powder A white serge suit for ex
ample can be very successfully cleaned
by putting it into dry. clean tub and
covering it over with cornmeal slightly
sailed. The suit can be rubbed with
the hands exactly as if 1t were in soap
suds. the most energetic rubbing natur-
ally being given to the spots which are
most soilpd After it has been thor
oughly gone over the meal should be
thrown ont and the gown put back into
the tub and covered over with clean
meal. 1t should be left there for two
days, with a cloth over the tub to keep
out the dust. and then shaken out and
brushed with a perfectly clean brush.

A GOOD WORD
FOR HEMLOCK
Western Hemlock Should
Not be COMPOUNDED With
Eastern Wood

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Go
Western hemlock, says the Depart
ment of Agriculture, deserves a bet
ter opinion and more general use than
it now obtains. Intrinsically it is
among the most important of western
woods.
The wood of western hemlock has
generally been considered an inferior
one chiefly because of the prejudice
created by the name, which has caus-
ed it to be identified with eastern
hemlock. Tests by the Forest Serv-
ice, however, show it to have SO per
cent the strength of Douglas fir, one
of the countrys chief construction
timbers. In fact it is often mixed
with Douglas fir and used for the
same purpose.
The wood is practically free from
pitch, has a handsome grain, takes
paint and stain well, and works
smoothly. 1t is suitable for sash and
door stock, furniture, interior finish,
framing, flooring. boxes, barrels, and
pulp. In bridges and trestles it can
be used for all but the heaviest con-
struction. When properly treated
with preservaties, it is valuable
cross tie and pole wood.
According to Forest Service Bulle-
tin 115, the best stands of western
hemlOck are found in the coast re-
gion and through the Cascade noun
tains. The bulletin further gives the
results of tests by which the mechani-
have been determined, and tells of the
different uses to which the wood is
adapted.
