CARE OF
SILVER

EVERY well-ordered household
boasts of its table silver and
there is no doubt that q certain
variety of silverware adds greatly to
the appearance of a table. There are,
however, many housewives who fore
go the pleasure of having silver be-
cause of the additional care it re-
quires TO keep it in perfect condition.
When choosing your silver, select
a plain design.
II you do not possess a silver chest
and there is no small cupboard which
can be used to store your silver, have
one made large enough to accommo-
date your collection. Line this
throughout with green baize, and
make cases Of the Same material in
which to roll the cutlery.
These are easily made in this man
ner:
Take two strips of baize, one wider
than the other, and stitch them to-
gether IN envelope fashion, the top OF
the wider half folding over the other.
Stitch in vertical lines to form pock-
cts large enough to accommodate a
knife, fork or spoon and attach a
piece of tape to one end with which
to tie the roll shut.
Silver must be cleaned regularly,
not once every three or four months.
It is a good plan to purchase an
earthenware bowl in which TO wash
the silver. With boiling water and
white soap. make a good lather, add
ing a tablespoonful OF washing soda
to each quart of water. Plunge the
silver into the bowl and wash thor
oughly with a pad made of old fan
mel, rinse in boiling water and wipe
with clean, soft towel and polish
with a chamois.

COVERINGS
For SeaSOnable
Furniture

NJ OTHING could be more charming
than some Of the new cottoL
goods for summer houses, among
them being couch covers, window
hangings and curtains that might be
adapted to portieres, bed covers. cov-
ers for cushions and others larger for
tables. A fact that recommends these
especially to persons of limited in
come is that the stuffs really furnish,
so that less furniture is required than
would be we're the coverings plain.
A gorgeous set seen recently in one
shop adapted TO a girls room has
deep cream ground with fine ribbon
like stripes of burnt orange. At reg
ular intervals along these are dark
brown and green peacocks. The bor-
der is about twelve inches deep, with
a ground of dull Indian blue, green
and brown being introduced Peacocks
and plain trees form the decoration.
An interesting point is that almost
all the figures are oriental In treat
ment and the colors, while sounding
crude and barbaric. are handled with
the utmost art Camels and pyramids
are the motif of another set and brill
liantly hued birds predominate in all.
AS it is possible to have too much
color. ETC.. it is wiser to put some
plain pieces within these sets. rather
than to carry the pattern through the
entire room. For instance, with the
design first mentioned, that of pea
cocks, the couch would look far better
if plain cushions were used.
Greens, browns and dark blues, pre-
cisely of the same tones carried
out in the figures. serve to accentuats
the cover without bewildering the eye.
A girl who is artistic is making
two such couch covers serve as a COW
er and as curtains. The lounge has
one of the original covers thrown ov-
er il and the center of the other COW
er she has made into cushion covers.
The border thus left is placed as a
band about a pair of drapery curtains
of plain color. The effect is extreme
~ good and unusual.
Denim is an excellent material to
use in combination. or a thinner one
may be adopted. The important point
is to carry the same tone, for unless
this is done the clash of colors will
be distressing.
All of these wash excellently and
when ironed look like new.

Mr.. NUGENT is REQUESTED TO
GIVE MORE INFORMATION
Ocala, Fla, Sept. 2, 1911;

Ocala, Fla, Sept. 2, 1913.
Hon. P. H. Nugent, Clerk Circuit
Court, Marion County, Florida:
Dear Sir-I notice in the Banner of
the End inst, an open letter to you
from Mr.. w. T. Gary, asking if any
part of the saloon license tax goes to
the support of the schools or roads,
and also your reply that the money
received for license for the sale of
liquor goes into the county proper
fund, and not to the school or road
fund
While the foregoing may be the di-
rect fact, may l not ask you, if the
money received by the state from IL
censes for the sale of liquor does not
go into the general revenue fund, out
of which fund is paid the salaries of
the executive and judicial depart
ments, and others; also for the en-
campments of our state troops. ex-
penses of normal schools, pay of the
teachers of normal schools, jurors
and witnesses, and all appropriations
for the various state institutions, in
Guiding the various colleges and 9th
er places of learning?
If the above is answered in the af-
firmative, does not the license money
for the sale of intoxicating liquors
benefit the whole people, and if a de-
ficiency arises, because of the nom
payment of these liquor licenses,
where, may ask, would the shortage
come from to make up such def
cheney?
A reply along the lines of these
questions will be appreciated, for the
public good.
Yours truly,
Adv MAURICE STRAUSS.
