is the irresistible habit of his mind that
enabled him to make his millions. He
stamps himself deeply upon everything.
That is the reason so many wives OF rich
men are nonentities. Once they were indi-
viduals. They may have possessed some
originality. But every atom of it has been
crushed out of them by their dominant
mates. When they have ceased to be-
original they become tiresome. Then their
lords, who have made them uninteresting,
seek some other woman to interest them
for a while, and to repeat with her the
process of elimination and humiliation.

in my home in Harlem. Our counting was
done under difficulties. My little sister
stayed in the room. So did Mamma.
Mamma fell asleep sometimes and snored.
There was no use of our trying to meet
at the theatre, for Mamma always went
with me to the theatre and came for me
after the performance.
A last Albert said:

She ought to be on the police force We

How to Get Your Moneys Worth
When You Buy Silk, Wool or Linen

A THOUGH the law is very strict
"A on the adulteration of food it
a takes practically no notice of
the adulteration of clothing.
Many a fatal case Of consumption
has been started by people getting wet
when wearing cheap, shoddy clothing
that has soaked UP the rain like a
sponge. Not week passes but one
reads Of some child or other being
fatally burned through wearing flannel
cite, material as infiammable as eel
luloid. Cheap boots, with their spongy,
badly-wearing soles, have sown the
seeds of chronic rheumatism, consump.
ton and other ills in many a young
body that would otherwise have grown
up healthy and strong.
There are two ways by which the
housewife can tell whether she is get
ting an imitation or the genuine arti-
buy from the best dealers, dealers
whose goods have always proved all
that has been asserted for them. The
other, and perhaps the better way, is
to test the goods for herself.
Every housewife should know few
simple tests for silks, woolens and
linens. She will certainly be amazed at
the results of her investigation.
The commonest fraud is in the case
of silk. Many people test silk by its
weight. The heavier it is the better,
is the idea of most women, when they
so to buy silk. They will be surprised
to know that raw silk is often so adul-
terated with chemicals that it's weight
is more than DOUBLEDAY Sugar, starch,
tin and other mineral salts are used
for this purpose.
1t wouldn't matter so much if these
chemical authorizations improved the
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1914-12-20

material, but they practically destroy
it's wearing properties. In our grand
mothers days a silk dress would last
a lifetime; now it won't last six months.
Here are two simple ways Of testing
silk. Cut off small piece and boil it
for quarter of an hour in a weak
solution of caustic potash, which you
can get at any drug store. If it is pure
silk it will be completely destroyed.
IL not, what remains will be cotton.
Another way is to place a small
sample in strong hydrochloric or sui
phuric acid. Pure silk will dissolve IN
from two to five minutes, but if it is
adulterated with wool the latter will
remain unaffected.
Blankets, underclothes, and otner
dress materials that are sold as pure
wool are often frauds. Cheap wooden
blankets contain, on an average, not
more than fifteen to twenty per cent Of
wool. The rest of the material is cot
ton. The thick wooden effect of these
cheap blankets is obtained by "felting"
short woollen threads on the cotton
cloth by heat, moisture and pressure.
A simple test for wool is to place
piece of theamaterial in oil of vitriol
for one or two minutes. Then take it
out and wish it thoroughly, taking care
not to get the acid on your hands Oil
of vitriol will destroy all the cotton
adulteration, while the wool will hard
ly be effected.
Cheap linen, like cheap wool, has any.
thing up to so per cent of cotton in it.
The presence of the cotton can easily be
detected by immersing piece of the
linen in oil Of vitriol for a couple of
minutes, and taking it out and washing
it thoroughly. If it is pure linen, it
will not be affected. but if, as is more
likely, it is adulterated with cotton. it
will be completely spoiled.
