afterward.
The easiest way to clean a kettle
that is "furred" inside Is to fill it with
water, add good sided lump of borax
and let 1t boil well.
Then pour away the borax and water
and rinse thoroughly with clear cold
water. This cleans the kettle perfectly.

The Art of RESTING.

Few women know how to rest as
they should. They think that they
must undress and 60 to bed to be
thoroughly comfortable. This is mis-
take. provided there is taboret or
little footstool in the room on which
the feet may rest. while the other part
of the body Is supported by chair.
Any one can read and rest comfortably
in this position. To gain the max
imum Of rest In the minimum Of time
women should copy the inelegant but
healthful trick of the masculine
drones and occasionally put their feet
higher than their heads.

WILL HELP CATION
state Agricultural Department TO As
sist Pioneer in Pear Growing.

j. H. Perkins, state commissioner of
agriculture, has instructed IIorticul-
tural Inspector Dalton, who has charge
of this district, to cooperate as much
as possible with A. S. Cation in the de-
velopment or the latter's 35-acre pear
ranch on the Westside. to the end that
it may be used as an example to show
the farmers of this county and other
parts of the state what can be accom-
plished with this fruit
Mr.. Cations ranch is the largest of its
kind in this part of the state to have
reached any degree of development,
though a 90acre pear orchard is now
being planted in the Nisqually valley,
while DR.. w. w. Miller of this city
has a smaller orchard under cultiva-
ton in the outskirts of the city on the
southeast Mr.. Cation. however, is the
pioneer in this section in the develop
ment of pear growing on a CONNER
cial basis.
From the results that have been OBJ
tanned from the haphazard way of
raising pear trees in back yards, va.
cant lots and other places in the city
and county, it is claimed that this sec
ton is particularly adapted to their
growth when careful attention is paid
to their cultivation.

authority now to levy taxes for horti.

A Mendino Hint.

An excellent way to mend holes in
saucepans. kettles. or baking pans Is
the following: Buy some litharge-
obtainable at any druggists-and mix
1t to paste with glycerin. Spread
the mixture smoothly over the hole
and leave to dry. Let 1t stay for a
week. After this 1t will resist Ere OF
water. and the saucepan or kettle will
be as strong as when new.

THAT the cause of suffrage
has been materially injured
by the actions Of the mill
tants in England seems evident
to almost every observer.
Where ten people spoke with
favor of Equal Franchise a year
ago Ceven when not actively in
terested in the work. nine of that
number to-day are too disguised
and disturbed with the vandalism
and hysteria of the militants to
maintain their interest
And yet it is a curious fact that
many people who dwell in the in
ner circles Of English political life
and who claim to know the his
tory Of all progressive movements
there declare there is no way to
gain a point where habit and ira
dition must be changed save by
brutal and violent methods.
A former member Of Parlia-
ment said: You must first knock
your English lawmakers down:
you must kick and beat them on
the head, and then they viii rise
up and ask you what you want.
But until you do this they viii not
even listen to you"
That is the only way, he de-
clared, that Ireland has ever
gained any point with England.
But the speaker was himself an
Irishman and a violent agitator,
Views Of His Daughter.
His daughter was an active
militant. SO one must not take
his views too literally
But many other people have
expressed similar views regarding
the absolute Indifference of the
English lawmaker to any new pro-
gressive idea, and the necessity
for drastic methods if one wishes
to be heard is quite widely ac-
knowledged.
Several people claim that the
militants are nearer gaining the
goal they seek than ever before,
but to the outside observer it
seems far less hopeful than it
was a year ago.
Those who declare any interest
in the cause now hasten to ex-
plain that they are opposed to
militant methods, and everywhere
there is a murmur of disapproval
and discomfort over recent occur
rences. and in all public places
the suffragists meet with less
consideration and more insults
than previously.
It seems incredible that women
Of good birth and good breeding
and with good brains can per-
form such acts as pouring paint
into letter boxes, cutting and
tearing vehicles, and breaking
windows and blowing up houses.
The methods Of the American
suffragists seem wonderfully dig
nifed and admirable in COM
parison

this fact, however, and says the

A Narrow Life.

heard of a good picture, never
ate a really good dinner in their

wouldn't know a cabaret if they

used to when ! read about brave
knights who went forth to slay
dragons and came back on horse
back to a fanfare of trumpets.
