General Repairing.

But as yet she had found no other
use for her putty. 1t seemed a shame
to have all that putty and her hands
already grimed up and not be able to
use any more Of it,
Then, in the dining room. Helen
noticed some fine white plaster dust

Doing the Work Herself.

Get that cabinet maker who did over
the sofa. And have MIN fix that chif-
fonier drawer while he's about it. Can't
open it without knocking everything off.
One of those sideboard drawers sticks,
too"
But the cabinet maker informed Hell
en- he would have to take the desk to
his shop, and he could not tell just how
much it would be.
Helen, who always wanted to know
exactly what thing would cost before
she had it done. resented this, and end
ed by buying some new felt which she
was now trying to put on herself.
When Maggie came back with the
putty Helen unwrapped the newspaper,
through which the oil had already
soaked, and with eager interest felt the
soft, claY-like mass. AS child she had
always loved to play with putty, and
she was soon filing the screw holes and
smoothing them over with an almost
childish pleasure.
The green felt she had already cut the
exact size, and now she spread the
scraped desk surface with glue and
carefully fitted it on.
When al length she stood back to
view it there was not a wrinkle in the
felt nor lump underneath to mar its
Smoothness. s..
.Elated with the success OF that job,
Helen went around to see what else
could be fixed up with putty and glue.
If ones tastes run to antique furniture
there is always something that needs
attention. A piece Of veneering was

bookcase, both of which Helen had
saved, and which she now glued back.

Yes, mother; but we never do any
thing really PRACTICAL like Mrs.
Curtis. And it must be such fascinat-
ing work."
Neither the emphasis on practical
nor the sarcasm beneath this speech
escaped Helen.
Yes, and it's very economical" she
added defiantly. for she knew they
were thinking she did such things only
because she was too penurious to hire
them done. "They charge so much for
these odd jobs--it seems a shame to
pay it when l really love to do them
myself"

Clemens, land Pm sure Mr. Curtis must

Household Suggestions

To bleach ivory ornaments or piano
keys the following method works we'll:
The ornaments are first washed or
soaked" if possible in bath of un-
slaked lime which has in it a few
ounces of bran and water This should
make pasty solution if properly
mixed, and will bleach the ivory which
is di~colored or stained. 1t should be
rubbed off with cloth and the ivory
dried in magnesia powder. After a few
minutes q few strokes with a cloth give
the ivory a brilliant polish.
The following is an admirable way of
cleaning white fur or childrens white
wooden tam 'shauters-in fact. any
thing that can not be washed: Get Il
pound of white powdered starch put it
into a deep vessel, then rub the article
to be cleaned in the powder. Shake
the starch off the article and it will be
found to be as clean as when it was
first bought
Boots or shoes that have been wet
through and become hard in the drying
may be softened by the application Of a
little parahin The oil should be APP
piled by means Of soft cloth and be
well rubbed into the leather. Paraftin
also acts as a preventative of the leath-
er. and so causes the boots or shoes to
wear longer
Instead of lining the drawers in the
bed room with newspaper, give them a
coat of good white paint. This is much
nicer than paper. and when cleaning is
necessary all that is required is to wipe
them out with a damp cloth

Should Officials
Go to School?

Hon. Randolph Blankenburg, the
distinguished mayor of Philadelphia,
has decided that he and several of his
associates shall go to school for a
period in order that they may study
the problems of civic government for
the benefit of the citizens to whom
they are responsible.
The mayor of the Quaker City be-
hoves that a course of lectures at the
University of Wisconsin will enable
him to overcome some of the difficulties
he has encountered and will give him
a better opportunity to cope with the
opposition that makes itself felt in the
city council, whenever reform subjects
are mentioned.
This mayor believes in practical re-
form and has been fighting for civic
hetterment. If going to school again
will help matters along, let the mayor
go by all means. But inasmuch as he
is progressive reformer and his eff
forts in that direction are retarded by
the city council, it seems the council
men are the fellows who need the extra
tuition.

FRIDAY, MAY %, 1913.
The Illinois Plan
of Legislation.

A bill is pending in the Illinois legis-
lature for the establishment of a joint
legislative commission, which it is said
will greatly simplify the work of the
legislature. The-commission is to be
composed of the governor. the lieuten-
ant governor, the speaker, tina chair
man of the appropriations committee
of the senate and the house, the chair
men of the Judiciary committees OF
both branches and five other senators
and five other representatives to be
chosen by their respective houses.
In brief the powers and duties of the
commission are to be:
To investigate the needs of the state
and to recommend needed legislation.
To Investigate and report on the
operation of laws in other states and
countries.
To investigate any department of the
state government.
To investigate the expenditure of
any appropriation.
To submit drafts of bills when such
legislation is desirable.
There is no question that it would
be well to simplify the work of legis-
latures. Whether the Illinois plan will
prove a success, If adopted, remains
to be seen. Our present system, or
rather lack of system. depends on the
Individual effort of members and a
great deal of conscientious legislation
is wasted. All legislatures spend days
and weeks reconstructing poorly drawn
bills =
OF course some will oppose the sug-
gestion because it is new and is an
innovation. But serious minded peo-
pie will neither condemn nor approve
on account of it's newness, but will
consider the plan on its merit alone

The plaintiff In this suit was the
proprietor of the Hotel Allerton in New
York which was burned during the

Mr.. Appieby brought the suit for
damage. The city has managed to
Juggle the case along through five de-
Gades on different pleas and finally
shade a settlement in the nature of a
compromise.

Settle America First,
Then Expand.

Nearly If not quite all the conpli-
cations this government has had with
other nations in recent times has arisen
over some squabble between American
exploiters and these foreign govern
ments. The saying. Uncle Sam has
land enough to give us all a farm" is
just as true today as it ever was. We
have no congested population in this
country and no need exists for addi-
tional lands on which to settle surplus
population. The United States has in
the West and South, especially in the
latter. large boundaries of the most
fertile lands under the sun that may
be obtained at low prices-prices within
the reach of all. For any legitimate
farming, mining or manufacturing en-
terprises this country offers unparal-
leled inducements.
Capitalists and corporations which
seek and obtain grants and concessions
from foreign governments usually have
other than legitimate motives. They
seek to exploit these countries. They
make these investments with open
eyes, fully cognizant of all the risks,
dangers and perils. When the trodden
worm turns and some OF these invest
ments are placed in jeopardy, it is not
the duty of this government to make
armed Intervention or to bring on war
with other governments.
On the other hand the government
should discourage the exploitation of
Latin American and other countries by
American corporations.
While the United States has such a
vast domain unsettled and undeveloped
American dollars and American energy
should be encouraged to stay at home.
