MANUFACTURE OF DUCK RE.
SUMED.

Columbia. Dec. 23.-The Columbia
Mill Co., received instructions to be-
gin Immediately the operation of 40
looms in the manufacture of duck.
and employees to operate this machin-
cry were secured, 1t was learned Tues
day. The source Of the instructions
was not mentioned. Orders received
that necessitated the operation of
these looms were reported to be
relatively small but they were de-
scribed as "forerunner of expected
better business"
This announcement told in effect
that the manufacture Of duck would
be partially resumed after a complete
suspension Of more than six months.
Business men in Columbia interested
in the manufacture Of cotton goods
seemed inclined to the belief that re-
ceipt Of these orders by the Columbia
Mills Co.. constituted an indication Of
an early improvement in the market
for manufactured cotton.
After lapse Of four months, during
which the mills was closed down.
operation OF the rope manufacturing
plant Of the mill was resumed early
In October, giving employment to
about 100 operatives. Other opera
tives were secured to manufacture
duck.

FLAvORING EXTRACTS.
A Druggist Tells us How to Get Bet
ter and Cheaper F1avorings by
Avoiding the Cost OF the Alcohol.

My attention was attracted by an
article published in your department
Of the Progressive Farmer from a
lady in Georgia on economy in max.
ing your own lemon extract.
This leads me to make a few sug.
gestions for the benefit of the thrifty
housewife.
The first item will be lemon extract
or essence. Lemon extract is made
by adding Is ounces grain alcohol to
one ounce oil Of lemon. Anyone can
do that. But why do that? Take a
small bottle to your druggist and get
a dimes worth Of oil of lemon. Keep
we'll stoppered and in q dark place.
When you want to flavor use four
drops Of the oil on the sugar that you
are going to use In the cake or Gus
