OF PRACTICAL VALUE
SMALL THINGS WORTH coNSIp-
GRAFTON IN HOUSEHOLD.
Packing Butter for PicnIc-Sugar
Prevents Unused Teapot "Becom-
Ing "Rusty"-Preserving Meat
in Hot Observation-Disclosures.

When packing butter for a picnic
wrap in a cabbage leaf. This keeps
1t cool and fresh.
When cooking apples, add pinch of
salt. This makes them tender, and
improves the flavor.
To remove a scorch mark, cut an
onion in two, rub the scorched part
with it, then soak in cold water. The
mark will disappear in a few min
utes.
To clean a dark straw hat, smear
little butter on an old piece of vel
vet and rub the hat. Leave tie but
ter on for Is minutes, then polish with
a dry piece of velvet.
To prevent a teapot not in regular
use from becoming rusty put a
lump of sugar into it. This absorbs
the moisture and prevents the dis
agreeable taste.
When making bread pudding, line
the dish or tin with thin paste, put
in the bread pudding, then cover with
paste and bake in a slow oven. This
is a great improvement.
To preserve meat in hot weather
wash over with very weak vinegar
and water, and then cover with slices
of raw onion. Before cooking remove
onion, and rinse meat in clear cold
water
Destroy the smell of paint by plac-
ing pailfuls of cold water in the rooms
which are being painted. Change the
water night and morning, and. when
possible, add handful of hay to the
water in each pail.
Dampen a carpet, a small portion at
a time, with cloth wrung out In
strongly sailed water, then rub dry
with a clean buster. This will revive
the color wonderfully.
Put old lard into basin and pour
boiling water over it. Allow to get
cold, then pour off the water, and
repeat the process three times. The
lard can then be used for making cold
cream.
To tint curtains cream color mix
bowl of cream starch and another OF
white. Add a small quantity of the
cream starch to the white before each
curtain Is starched. This makes the
curtains all the same tone, which
would not be the case we're they put
directly into the cream starch.
To keep plants fresh while the house
is shut up, place in a zinc bath as
many bricks as there are flower pots.
Put sufficient water into the bath to
cover the bricks, then stand plant
on each brick. The bricks absorb the
moisture, and sufficient is conveyed
to the plants to keep them in good
condition.
Place in a cardboard box a layer
of ordinary flour, then lay the forks
and spoons or other household silver
upon it, and cover thickly with -four.
The pieces will remain quite bright
for any length of time.

RASH ON CHILD'S HEAD

2127 Division ST., Baltimore, Md
1.-THE trouble on my child's face and
head appeared as a rash and then it
got SO that the skin looked drawn and
water and blood would run out. That
would cause a scab and her head and
face were a mass of sores. They
would crack and bleed and then her
head began to get scaly and thought
it was dandruff. I started to take the
scab off and found her head was a
mass Of them. When she would cry
it seemed worse because the water
would stream down her face and itch
and she would dig and scratch. Her
little head was bald as it was SO sore
that all the hair came out. My baby
used to cry at night and could not
sleep.
"Then 1 decided to get Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. I would make lather
of the Cuticura Soap but her face and
head were SO sore I hated to touch
them so would take a soft cloth and
wash her head. After dried it with
a soft towel would gently apply the
Cuticura Ointment. With the first
treatment could see a change in my
baby and before I used the whole
treatment she was completely healed
and her skin Is beautiful" (Signed)

Football and a Clergyman.

1.-THE more recreation we have the
less vice there will be in the coun.
try, and l regard the football match
on Saturday afternoon as one of the
best possible devices to keep men in
the purity of the open air. I believe
that the increase of sport is the big
gest factor in the increase of tenn
perance, and go so far as to say If
you take the Church of England away
from London you remove the greatest
sporting influence. Some people OBJ
ject to the professional footballer, but
see no reason why man of that
class, who gives entertainment to the
public, should not be paid for his
services just in the same way as a
musician or parson If we want the
best we always have to pay for it,

GOODYEAR TIRES AT
ANTE-BELLUM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
announce mo war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr. F. A. Sieberling, president
of the Company, thus explains their
unique position.
1--WE advanced Goodyear prices, as
others did theirs, when the rubber
panic came. Almost in day crude
rubber rose in New York from SIS cents
per pound to much over dollar.
1.-THE New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick of
the rubber there. By acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1900
900 pounds of the finest rubber.
THAT big supply of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. 1t constitutes the
best of the London supply.
1--WE are using the same grade OF
rubber and the same amount of it as
we always have used in these tires.
I'VE are running our factory with
three shifts of men, twenty-four hours
a day. So long as we remain in this
fortunate position on rubber, we shall
supply tire users at before-war prices
to the limit of our capacity"

BRITISH SECTION J., SHANGHAI

the very air Of Hongkong is sur
charged with insolent snobbery, there
is, in the delightful cosmopolitanism
of Shanghai society, charm all its

Having said so much without fear,
favor, affection, malice or 1ll-will,
will state that on the forenoon of the
Sunday after my arrival in Shanghai
I lost my way while wandering
through a section of the settlement
occupied by the poorer class of Chi
nese, none of whom understood
word of English. I noticed Hindu
policeman, with rifle slung over his
shoulder, guarding'the entrance to Is
very large building. Not understand
ing English himself, he led me across
a court yard and into the office of the
building, which later 1 found was the
municipal police court. In this Office
were two young Englishmen and sew.
eral native clerks.
The Englishman treated me with
greatest courtesy, looked UP the re-
quired information and drew a rough
diagram of the streets 1 should trav-
erse in order to recover my hearings,
and, better still, one of them "a Mr..
Mariott) insisted, as he had nothing
special on Git being Sunday, on TAX
ing a rickshaw with me and showing
me the way. 1t was then about
eleven o'clock and he remained with
me until six o'clock in the evening,
when he left meas he kindly put it

Victoria Chicken.

This is a fine way to use up the
meat after having made broth: Cream
two tablespoonful of butter and add
the yolks of two hard-boiled eggs
rubbed to a paste. Soak one-fourth of
cupful of cracker crumbs in one
fourth of cupful of cold milk 10 min
utes, then add to the egg mixture. Pour
on gradually one cupful of hot chicken
stock, and when the boiling point Is
reached add one cup of cooked chicken
or fowl cut into small pieces. Season
with salt, pepper and celery salt and
serve on buttered toast

NapoIeon's Testament.

Napoleon would certainly not have
agreed with the recent judicial dictum
that wills should be free from person
al attacks. Several clauses of his last
testament contain strong indictments
of those who had opposed him, the
most emphatic of these being the as
sertion that the downfall of the en-
pire was due to ''the treason of Mar
mont, Augereau, Tallyrand and Lafay-
ette." The execution of the Due
d'Enghien is excused on the ground
that "the Comte d'Artois was main

PoSSSo
sor of fancy name. THE
A Gem of the Orient" it is called,
and it is, in more ways than
one, a gem" depending entirely on
the sense in which the term may be
applied.
1t is certainly one of the most in
teresting cities in the world, and no
visitor TO the Orient should leave it
out Of his itinerary.
1t presents the curious anomaly of
being a Chinese city, whose affairs
are administered by foreigners, writes
j. M. Grady in the Denver Post.
First there is the international mu.
nicipal council, whose acts are SUBJ
ject to revision by the consular coun-
Gil, representing the foreign consuls
resident in Shanghai, and the de-
cisions of this latter body are subject,
in turn, to revision by a council COM
posed of foreign ministers residing in
Picking and duly accredited to the
government of China by their respec-
tive countries. There is no appeal

It is, in fact, a court of last resort
as far as the city of Shanghai is con-
cerned.
There Is, however, a native city
within the old walls, in which the
Chinese officials exercise exclusive
control-athough there are over mil
lion Chinese living, and carrying on
business in the so-called foreign set
Elements, which means modern Shang-
hal.
These are tof a much better class
than those who live within the walls
Of the native city. Under foreign pro-
lection they are free to enjoy life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness un-
hampered by the Ubiquitous exactions
practiced on prosperous Cinnamon
wherever native officials rule. In no
other city in the world, perhaps, are
Chinese SO safe, so prosperous, so pro-
gfessive, and certainly in no city Of
their own country do they live under

How Breathing Smoke Hurts Cattle.

How Breathing Smoke Hurts Cattle.
The effect of smoke on cattle was
the subject of an inquiry addressed
to farmers in the vicinity of Leeds,
England, in connection with the in
vestigations being carried out at
Leeds university concerning the eff.
fects of atmospheric pollution on veg.
citation. 1t was learned that the eff
fects of a smoky atmosphere on both
cattle and horses are marked; young
stock do not thrive, while elder ami
mails require more food and greater
care than those living in less con
taminated atmosphere.
The effects are partly due to the
respiration of the smoke-laden air,
and partly to the inferior quality OF
the grass growing under such condi-
tions. The raising of sheep is even
more difficult, because of the depre-
citation in value of the wool due to
the smoke, and is rarely attempted
near Leeds.
