There are so many best ways to
clean windows that one hesitates to
offer her method unless very sure it is
the way. Three or four ounces of
emery flour in heavy canvas sack about
six inches square will clean and polish
windows with greater ease than any
thing else known. Simply rub the

OYSTERS ARE CLEAKLY.

Oysters obtain food by drawing in
water, then ejecting it, retaining the
microscopic plants or vegetable for
nations it contains. This is a true
filtering process and the oyster is so
particular about its food that anything
unfit is spewed out. The flavor of an
oyster depends upon its location. If a
Rockaway oyster is transferred to the
Cotuit beds it will have, in three months,
the Cotuit flavor. The shades of oysters
vary with the localities where they
mature.
