You can never make a success OF
baking unless the oven Is exactly

spoiled. You can always test the heat
by putting a piece of white paper on
the oven shelf that is to be used and
leaving it there for two minutes. II
the paper comes out stiu white or
very slightly brown at the edges, then
the oven Ia cool. If the paper comes
out good deal Drowned, but not
burned at all, then the oven is mod.

all over and blackened at the edges,
the oven Is hot. If the paper burns all
hot for any use.
The following is a good recipe for
cleaning black wooden clothing: Dis.
solve borax in water and saturate a
sponge or cloth In the solution. Wash
the greasy spots by rubbing vigorous
~, then rinse in clear water the same
way, and dry in the sun. This is es.
pecially good for cleaning mems coat

Thick, soft gloves are made to wear
when lifting pots and heavy stove at
tachments; thinner ones come for the
purpose of protecting the hands while
sweeping or busting; then there are
rubber gloves to put on when wash
ing dishes and asbestos gloves to wear
when handling hot dishes.
Should the clothes be widowed, the
stains may be removed BY a mixture
containing equal parts of soft soap
and starch, half as much common salt
and the Juice of half a lemon. This
may be spread over the spots, and the
article should be laid on the grass all
day and all night until the stain ell
tirely disappears.

In Addition to Fun He Had There

Coming to Him From tho
"Movles.n

The French liner La Touraine, ar
irving recently from Hayre, brought
among its passengers John B. Miller,
who formerly lived in Brooklyn, but
who for year has been living at
Clay, France, with his wife. Mr.. Mil
Ter fought duel with an irate
Frenchman, and that no blood was
shed was due to his sense Of humor.
Living in the same town, says the
New York Evening World, was
Frenchman for whom he conceived
great dislike, and his feelings APP
parently were reciprocated. Mr.. Mil
Ter didn't like the cut of the gentle
mans coat nor the top hat he inva-
riably wore. But, quite by accident
he contends, he stepped on the
Frenchman's foot. 1t was in cafe,
and his friend, the enemy, had one
foot out in the aisle.
"Pig!"~said the Frenchman.
whats that?" queried Miller,
doubling the evidence of his senses.
"Swine!" cried the other with dis
dain.

jaw and the latter yelled "Assassin!"
Gendarmes rushed in and Miller
was arrested.
"And believe me-" said Mr.. Miller,

didn't want to fight any duel, and he
said that there was no way out of it..

have the pistols loaded with black

There was movie man in town,

Depending on Their Enemles.

! An interesting story comes from a
district in Asiatic Turkey. The
American consul was investigating
the effects of the Balkan wars on
this region and found that the most
constant and universal complaint was
the loss of banking facilities. This
seemed a rather strange result of war,
but further inquiry made the matter
clear.
! The only bank In that district was
managed by Greeks, as a branch of
the Bank OF Athens. Naturally, this
was closed when war broke out, for
foreign cash is not very safe when
within reach of needy Turkish gov.
iernment. AS a consequence, a con.
siderable district, peopled almost
wholly by Mohammedans, was de-
lpriyed of money to move its crops,
carry On it's trade and conduct it's
business, because the enemies" and
christian dogs" who formerly per.
formed these services were gone.
The story illustrates at once the
interlocking of national interests in
modern times and the peculiar de.
pendence Of Turkey on Christians in
general and Greeks In particular for
the conveniences of civilization.

SENATOR GABLT
TALKS ECONOMY


in a long letter to the Sparks Tri-
bune says that there should have
been two or three hundred thousand
dollars of expense to the State
and some of the useless commits
stems cut out by the last legisla-
ture. He mentions the following:
l. The Sl4C, 900 California ap-
preparation.
g. The State Police Bill.
8. The Banking Commission.
d. The Railroad Commission.
5. The Norcross Dry Farming.
Scheme-I call it a dry notice
to a wet scheme.
6. The Delinquent Home for Chill
dren. 1t is no place for children
to go. The parents ought to be
able TO take care of their children
ten or twelve years old, and after
that, if the boys of 10 or Is can
not behave themselves, put them
on the chain gang, for they will
have to go there after they come
out of the home.
7. The $60,0UOfor the State
Capitol.
8. The Weights and Measures.
9. The Summer School at the
University.
10. A man to measure snow at
the top of Mt. Rose. If you want
to punish a man for his sins send
him to states prison not up to the
top of a mountain to measure snow.
II. The Pure Food Commission.
The dairy building at the Univer-
sity. But do not think the dairy
will last very long. At the next
session of the legislature there will
be a bill to transfer the stock
from the Experiment Station toSthe
Prison Farm at Carson City, where
they have plenty of hay to feed
them and plenty of help to care for
them. In Reno they are required
to buy their food. 1t seems to he
an uphill proposition to run an Ex-
perimentaI farm within the city
limits of Reno and buy hay to feed
them ON. | don't think that there
will be enough hay to feed the
stock at the station for the next
three months. If they want to run
an experiment farm, let them run
it, but not mix it up with cattle,
sheep and hogs, and if they are 60
ing to run q school at the Univer-
sity, let them do il and not mix up
with the dairy business.
Next comes the Surveyor Gener-
al with his deputies and draws
down fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars every two years. Then
comes the State Engineer With his
deputies and draws down thirty or
forty Thousand dollars and not a
shadow of the work done. There
is no water to be taken up in this
