THE CARE OF JEWELRY.

Christmas stockings may hold gift
of jewelry for you Do you know how
% take care Of IL?
The care of jeweIry is really decid-
edly interesting. To begin with. keep
Il out of the dust as much as possible.
II you have no jewelry case, and have
not enough jewelry to warrant buying
A case, tmprovise one from some neat
box. You can cover pasteboard box
with chintz TO match the hangings in
your room. and At this box up with q
soft, padded cushion in the bottom to
place watch, bracelets. and other pieces
of jewelry on. In one corner can be a
long cushion filled with hair. in which
pins can be stuck. Or you can keep your
jewelry in a chintz bag, lined with cha
moIs and made with little pockets stitched
on the inside In these pockets various
bits of jewelry can be stored.
One way to clean jewelry is to wash
It in soapsuds and then dry II in sawdust-
Boxes Of fine, hard sawdust come es-
pecially for this purpose at tewelry shops
Gold or silver Jewelry that has become
soiled can be cleaned by putting II In a
hot suds TO which ammonia has been
added in the proportion Of q tablespoon
fLl to a quart Of the suds. Cover the dish
containing the suds and jewelry and al
low It to stand for eight or ten hours.
Then drain the jewelry and dry II with
chamois. Polish with another piece Of
chamois.
Any silver jewelry-silver mesh hand
bags or purses, silver bracelets. chains. or
pins-can be well cleaned by moistening
a couple OF tsaspoonfuls Of baking soda
with water and rubbing the silver In
this paste. II the silver is engraved or
chased, and does not scratch easily. a
soft brush may be used to further this
cleansing operation. The silver should
then be washed in clear. warm water and
dried with chamoIs, e soft cloth or soft
tissue paper.
Much in the way Of polishing can be
done with tissue paper. However, the pa
per must be soft and must be well crum-
pied, SO that it will not scratch.

The DefenseIess Ear.

1T was Mrs. Oakley, Of Philadelphia,
who drew attention to the fact that the
ear has no lid. We can close our eyes
to offensive sights, or when we grow
weary of seeing. We can refrain from
smelling. and to a great extent we can
deodorize offensive smells. But, alas,
the poor defenseless ear has no lid.
It must continue to hear, willy, niIly.
And when we are asleep it is the most
easily aroused Of all the sense organs
Mrs. Oakley was talking last week in
Washington at the convention of the
American Civic Associations Her special
message was a plea against useless
noises, a subject about which she has
collected a great deal of interesting
information.
Not only are noises unpleasant and
annoying. They are actually bad for the
health, and Mrs. Oakley has gathered
proof to back this statement from sta
tistics taken among night workers who
have to sleep when the rest of the world
is awake and noisy. 1t is the night work
ers who realize how much more difficult
it is to protect sleep from interruption
by outside sounds than from light or
other disturbances.
And not only the night worker has
experience of this difficulty. The men
and women who make it a habit to go to
bed early-and the majority Of Wash
ington folk do retire eRrly-know the
difficulty Of sleeping when belated au-
tomobiIists honk their horns at every
corner in order to protect themselves
from the risk Of high speed. And the
milk wagons, too, that 90 through the
streets for early morning deliveries, ac-
2ording to Mrs. Oakley, are a source
of real injury to the health of those who
are trying to sleep. Sometime, it is
hoped, a system may be devised by which
milk companies will divide their busi-
ness on block lines, and only allow one
cart to go through each block for these
early morning deliveries.

Mrs. W. NJ. Stoner, president Of the

st. Louis, Dec. ia cave in the heart
Of the Ozark Mountains is the unusual
spot chosen for a farm by a retired citi-
zen Of st. Louis. While looking about
for a farm in the western part Of mis-
home State, Robert Smith found an at
tractive twenty-six acre stretch, beneath
part Of which lay a large cave Re
membering the profitable use made OF
caves by the mushroom growers of South
ern France, he determined to test the
productiveness of his acquisition.
Preparations for the experiment were
simple. He first constructed a twenty
five-foot fat-bottomed boat, for his oniy
practicable access was by a small river
running through the cave. Then, while
his neighbors were digging up weeds and
clearing brushwood from their lands
Farmer Smith had to uproot and haul
away the stalagmites and stalactites-
the lime deposits left by the incessant
dripping Of water during many centuries
Except for a clayey substance, ochre
which covered part of the walls, the cav
ern floor was bare limestone, so that the
final preliminary activity was to spread
soil and manure over the ground.
Mushrooms are peculiarly suitable for
such a project as the cave farm The
spawn is secured in bricks, which are
broken up and scattered over the floor
surface.

NO GREATER CRIME TO
KILL WOMEN THAN MEN
Though 1t Is No More Cowardly, Says
Bernard Shaw.

Bernard shaw, who never minces his
words. says: Now it is not more
cowardly to kill a woman than to kill a
wounded man. And there is only one
reason why it is a greater crime to
kill a woman than a man. and why
women have TO be spared and pro-
tectcd when men are exposed and
sacrificed That reason is tina! the
destruction OF the women is the de-
struction of the community. Men are
comparatively of no account; kill ninety
per cent of the German men, and the
remaining ten per cent can repeople her.
But kill the women, and Delenda est

From Shady Truck Growers Assn.

The picnic at Toxic held under the
auspices of the Prescott & Northwest
ern Railroad Company was a grand
success for the Truck growers contri-
butory to this line.
The people flocked in great droves
to the different stations along the
line to get on the train, until they
numbered about 500 the most enthu-
siastic crowd you ever saw. 1t was
surely an Easter Day" for them, long
to be remembered. Mr.. Helbig and
Mr. Meadows, the officials of the p.
& n. W., were "Chaley- the-spot"
to see that every thing was made
comfortable for their enjoyment.
These men are big-hearted and enter
prising gentlemen. A number of
speeches were made by members of
the different associations of which
our J. w. Nelson took the cake "
The day passed off most pleasant
and may prove the dawning of a
new era for the truck growers along
this line of railroad.

have right to life up our hearts in
thanksgiving for the blessings of
this country in material things and in
the freedom from the conditions pre-

In the light of the contrast between
the blessings which the people of the
United States are now enjoying, with
the magnificent crops of the year and
all other privileges vouchsafed to US,
how small and petty seem our
thoughts when we mourn because
business is not quite so good as it
might be and because our chances
OF making money are for the moment
not quite so abundant as in times
past.
Let the people of this country put
behind them such pessimism and such
narrowness, and in spirit of enthu-

work of the day without hesitating or
