SHARPENING CLIPPERS.
Simple and Inexpensive Way Of Keep.

Simple and Inexpensive Way Of Keep.
ing Blades In Condition.
Sharpening clipper blades Is, in the
opinion of many users. a task which
demands the services Of ~ expert and
the facilities of a factory. says Popu-
lar Mechanics. 1t is true that no little
skill is necessary. but with simple
tools and a little practice any person
Of intelligence can do a satisfactory
Job which is of no little value when
the users Of clippers are far out in
the country.
The two essential things are a sup.
ply Of emery, about No. 600 or ven
finer. and a tapping board. The latter
Il a piece Of cast iron which should
Be at least six inches square, planed
perfectly fat on one surface, which
has a series Of small grooves cut in It.
the grooves being little more than deep
scratches. The surface is charged"
by sprinkling a very light coat Of en-
cry over it. Take out the clipper blades
and lay them. one at a time, face
down. on the emery surface Of the
metal and grasp M firmly with the
fingers OF both hands. Rub them back
and forth on the emery surface. apply
ing fairly heavy pressure meanwhile.
Great care must be exercised not to
tip the blades when pushing them.
Keep them perfectly fiat Mt all times
when on the emery surface.
After the board Is once used 1t will
not need to be so heavily charged with
emery. as the fat part Of the cast
iron retains minute particles and the
grooves a greater quantity.
Such an outfit can be procured for
less than 81. and once made up will
last for a long time. With this outfit
at hand there is no need Of running
dull clippers. as the blades ran he
taken out quickly and s%harpened in a
few minutes.

Cleaning Brass Sign Plates.

An acid is useful for this purpose.
oxalic acid being perhaps the best; but,
whatever acid may be employed, it
must be cleaned off afterward with
water. Then when dry rub with sweet
oil and tripoli powder. which will pre-
serve the brass from furnishing for
quite Il long time.
Soft soap and rottel. stone are also
good cleaners. as is also a paste made
from 0xalic acid and whiting. This
latter is to be applied wet: then let it
dry. finally rubbing with a brush

CONSERVING THE BEEF SUPPLY

Oregon hotel men as an Organiza-
ton have taken the first practical
step in the direction of conserving
the beef supply, which is to pledge
themselves to stop serving veal on
Oregon hotel tables, says the Seattle
Post-Inte1ligencer Within this or
ganization are some of the leading
cafes and restaurants of the state.
Oregon is beef producing sec
ton, and so are the ranges of Wash
ington To cease serving veal is to
stop, or to curtail the slaughter of
calves. The calves of this year are
the beef animals of year after next.
If there is less killing of calves there
will be more left to grow to maturity.
If farmers would now cooperate
the high price Of beef would not be
so imminent a danger, nor 50 impor-
tant factor in the cost Of living.
If every farmer raised at least one
beef animal for sale each year, killed
no calves and raised more pork and
poultry meat would not be so scarce
nor the danger of constantly les
sened production so grave as it is at
present.
Here is an Oregon idea worth put
ting into practice, not in the beef
producing states alone. but in all
parts of the country as we'll. Beef
would soon be cheaper article of
food if more calves became mature
animals.
The best way to conserve the beef
supply of the future is to begin at
the source.
Stop slaughtering the calves.

Another prolific cause Of the down

rooming houses or outside the family

Above all, the lack of companion
ship between mother and daughter
and the lack of training girl in that
maidenly modesty which is her chief
protection from scoundrels, are also
causes of the downfall of thousands
