Fruit Dryer.

Perhaps this simple method Of dry.

busy housekeeper to save time.
Make a frame of soft wood two
inches wide, and one inch thick that
will cover the top Of your stove, and
tack on this frame good wire screen

also drive staple in the ceiling just
above the stove corners.
Now securely fasten a stout cord In
the staples farthest from you. and run
the cord up through both staples in
the ceiling and then down to the
staples near you and fasten. In this
way one may lower the screen to the
proper distance for drying or raise 1t
up out of the way when wishing to
use the stove. A large quantity may
be dried quickly in this way. Apples
dipped in weak salt water will not
turn dark while drying.

ECZEMA ON CHILD'S FACE

Suicide Among German Children.

Why do SO many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know. but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed it has been said that
the majority Of suicides are those Of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That 'the weak
must go to the WALL has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind Of
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the disbursement Of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know If any Of
the so-called heather countries of the
world have ever experienced such a
shorrid social phenomena as that of
child suicide.

KEEP PIANO IN ORDER
INSTRUMENT NEEDS CARE Up
TONE TO BE PRESERVED.
KEYS Must Be Kept Clean and Care
Taken That the Inside OF the
Case Is Kept Perfectly Free
From Dust.

The keys of piano should be regu.
larly wiped off with a soft piece OF
silk or cheesecloth. II they are much
soiled it may be necessary to wet the
cloth with water or few drops Of al
cohol; but they should be dried imme-
diately. In case the keys are Of cellu-
loid alcohol should not be used. In no
case use soap or a washing powder. II
ink is dropped on Ivory keys 1t is prac-
tically impossible to remove it. and
new piece Of ivory must be substi-
tuted. Celluloid keys may be polished
by adding to pumice powder either
benzoline or turpentine, or even milk
Black keys. If not Of ebony, may BE-
retouched with black spirit enamel ap-
piled with a cameIs hair brush.
The interior of a piano Is often
repository for dust. scraps Of paper
and even the nests of mice. These
should be removed with much care.
To get at the inside of piano 1t is
necessary to take 1t apart more or
less. Usually the lifting of the lid re-
veals the necessary wood buttons or
screws. On releasing these the front
will come loose. the fall" or key
board cover can be lifted away and
the key-slip in front Of the keys be
unscrewed and removed These in
vestigations should be made by one
who knows something of piano con-
struction or by one who has a me-
chanical knack for putting things back
where they belong
The dirt can be removed with stiff
brush and the wires cleaned with fine
emery cloth. glass paper or piece

mixture OF -four emery and coarse

The felts on the hammers can be
cleaned by applying dry pipe clay and
then rubbing 1t of with a nailbrush.

The ultimatum from Washington
was conveyed to President Huerta

ing under instructions from the State

the memorandum to his chief late

guarded it's contents from almost all
his official and intimate counsellOrS.
Those who learned of the Washing
sition one in which he will be forced
to give one of two answers-refusal
point-blank to comply with the de-
mand, possibly going so far as to hand
the diplomatic representative his pass
ports, or the elimination of himself
officially.
Those most intimate with the Presi-
dent insist that the latter course will
no be taken, for many reasons, chief
among which is that such action would
be tantamount to submission to the
rebels
:. Official Mexico is no.. longer in
doubt that the Washington administra-
tion fayors the rebel cause, and is con-
vinced that this is the means adopted
by President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan to assist Carranza to win.
