done so, tell him to place each hand
as quickly as possible In a reverse
position, that is to catch hold of his
nose with his right hand and at the
same time grasp his right ear with
his left hand. He will do this with
reasonable quickness.
Then say quickly, Reverse again"
This time he will tumble little.
Tell him to repeat this operation
several times, and you will see that

Save Your Scraps of Soap


Every good housewife knows that
economy in little things makes all the
difference in her weekly bills. And
one of the household necessities that
every one can economic is in soap.
Gather all the odd pieces of soap and
put them into a jar. Pour over suf-
ficient water to just cover the soap
and stand the jar in the oven until
the jelly is quite clear and without
Jumps. 1t is best to make a fresh
supply every week as it deteriorates
with keeping.
The best possible silver cleaner is
made from this soap jelly mixed to
the consistency of cream with pow
dered whiting.
To use, dip a damp cloth in the
preparation and rub on the silver.
Rinse in warm water, dry, and give
a final polish with a chamois leather.
This method is specially applicable
to engraved or embossed silver and
the operation creates no dust.
