FOR UNIFORM ROAD LAWS
Canada to Join Hands With the Uni
ted States If Premier Borden
Approves the Idea.

Canada will be represented with the
United States in an endeavor to OBJ
tain uniform laws pertaining to road
building, if the proposition meets the
approval of Premier Borden, according
to an announcement made at the
American Road congress by A. w.
Campbell, deputy minister of railways
and canals for the Canadian govern
ment. Mr.. Campbell said that he
would use his influence In urging the
premier to consent to the appointment
OF a committee to confer with com
mittee representing the American
Highway association and the American
Bar association to evolve plan for
uniform road laws.
Il realize that in Canada. as well az
throughout the United States, we have
40 varieties of road laws for every
province" said Mr. Campbell. This
tends to retard real road work, and
heartily indorse any plan that would
bring about practically the same laws
for both the United States and Canada
relative to good roads

London to Have New Lord Mayor.

Though he does not assume Office
till November 8, the election of the
lord mayor of London, England, the
successor of the tabled Dick Whiting

takes place this month. Already it is
announced that the choice of the liv-

fallen upon Sir Thomas Nanslttart

firm of paper merchants. Sir Vansit-

been a common councilman since 1899.
He was high sheriff of London in
1866, when he assisted the lord may.
or of the day, Sir Walter Vaughan
Morgan, to entertain the late King
George of Greece at the Guildhall. and
to welcome King George and Queen
Mary, at that time prince ard princess

CHOCOLATE PLANT Is NATIVE
Has Been Cultivated in Many Coun.
tries, But 1t Undoubtedly origi-
mated in America.

The chocolate pl. Mt is native of
America. When first introduced into
Europe chocolate was used only as a
luxury, but it speedily advanced in
popular esteem. 1t is now cultivated
in countries far from its original home.
The chocolate plant, as well as tea
and coffee, has been cultivated from
time immemo-ial. Chocolate as bev-
erage rapidly made it's way in Europe,
beginning in Spain, whittier it was first
brought.
The seeds of the chocolate plant are
in pods IN preparing the seeds for
market there has been but little
change since early times. First the
seeds are allowed to ferment, and thus
they lose the slight bitterness which
they possess when fresh. Then they
are carefully dried, and in this condi-
ton they stand transparent. In manu-.
featuring the seeds or beans are roast
ed, by which process the she'll of the
seed becomes detachable from the ker-
mel, which is the part used. Next the
roasted kernels are ground.
In early times the Mexicans used the
fiat stones on which their maize was
ground for the grinding Of the roasted
seeds OF chocolate. Chocolate consists
of the roasted, sheiled and ground
seeds. Sweet chocolate is the same
with the addition of sugar and flavor
ing extracts. Cocoa consists of the
roasted and ground seeds from which
the oil has been removed. Experiment:
have shown that if the seeds are right
. ly treated from the first to the las
stage of manufacture no objection car
be urged against the beverage pro
duced from them. 1t is of importance
that these seeds should be grown ane
selected with the greatest care ant
should, after reaching the factory. re

Work and Play in the Household
Take An autumn Vacation

A good many people. unable to take
a summer vacation therefore forego any
vacation at ALL
But why not an autumn vacation
Surely our autumns are as delightful
as our summers, or our springs. To be
sure, it is often highly desirable to be
away from our city homes in the sum-
mer and in that way escape excessive
heat. But taking il for granted that
something has kept us at home in the
summer, the autumn vacation ought to
come in for consideration.
One thing about the autumn vacation
is that It is usually less expensive than
that in the summer. OF course, at the
regular summer resorts the larger hotels
are closed. Those that are still open
give rates far below their summer ones.
And in many places where all the hotels
are closed there are good boarding houses
at inexpensive prices.
Europe is now, of course, out of the
question, although in normal years the
steamship rates in the autumn are far
lower than those in the summer. But
even with Europe out of the running,
there are coastwise trips for those who
like the sea. There are the West Indies,
there is Panama, there is Bermuda
which, it is said, is quite safe and COM
Portable for the American visitor. Then
there are delightful trips on our own
Great Lakes.
As for the country. never is 1t lovlier
than in the autumn. when the foliage
has begun to turn. And the autumn
seashore, deserted by the summer
throngs, is the most restfuI place i'm
aginable. The autumn mountains, too,
if you like good exercise in crisp air,
hold out enticing possibilities for the

TO CLEAN CUT GLASS.

The deep crevices in cut glass make II
difficult 10 dry, and therefore II is a
good thing to have a small box OF saw
dust in which TO bury all cut glass after
Il has been washed and dr1ed The saw
dust absorbs all moisture that is in the
deep crevices and the glass. after being
in the sawdust for an hour or so, is COM
pletely dry. The sawdust can be spread
in the sunshine to dry and put away
for future use.
Perhaps every one has had the diff
cult experience Of finding a white mark
on polished table surface under a cut
glass bowl or vase. This comes from the
moisture that had clung In the deep
cracks. the moisture that the sawdust
wll take out.
As for washing cut glass, It is neces-
sary to have a soft brush &c clean the
deep crevices. Especially in Jelly dishes
or oil and vinegar bottles OF any other
dish that is constantly used do these
deep crevices become very much soiled
