Care of Mahogany Furniture

"Once in awhile I wash my set of ma hogany furniture with castillo soap and lukewarm water which leaves It some what streaky. Will you advise me which Is the best way to keep solid mahogany looking nice and clean? Please tell mo how to clean or polish a Circassian wal nut dresser? MRS. A. C."
 The process you describe requires skill full manipulation. Mix a little soap-a mere dash-with clean lukewarm water {: wiring out in this soft. clean sponge and and wash space foot square with it.. Wipe quickly. first with soft chamois skin, wiring out dry. then with soft, clean, dry linen. This done and the surface pol ished with the linen, take the next F inches. This trick of the trade learned 30 years ago from a man en- gagged to remove the purplish have that had collected upon a new piano. As I have said. 1t must be done deftly. You may clean walnut furniture in the same way, afterwards going over it with a soft flannel dampened with kerosent-s very little.

SOCIETY AND HOME TOPICS FOR WOMEN
SOME HEEL PING HAND
 HINTS FOR THE HOME
By MARI ON KIRKLAND

Writing advertisements is now a pro- fession. The first thing to be acquired if you would practice 1t successfully is the ability to write clear. correct nervous English. l know of an author who. when the market for her stories and essays was slow. made $40 per week for a year by writing advertisements. Further than this. l know nothing of the profession. If there be .such manual as you are seeking, I have never heard of it. If members can help our Iowa eorrespon- dent, will they let us hear from themg How can one learn how to write attrac- tive advertisements?

 Will you or your kind readers tell me how to make a basket for baby? I do not know how much or what kind of materials to use. l hope I won't be dis appointed in waiting for a reply, as the happy event Is almost near

Do mothers make as well as furnish baby baskets in this pro gressive age? If so. where do they learn the art? How long must one practice it before she may venture upon the bassi- net?

Editor The lntelligencer:
On behalf Of the committee charg-
ed with getting homes for the vete-
rams l make this appeal to the peO-
pie OF Anderson Thus far we have
placed over 200 veterans in the homes
OF Anderson. The committee is pre-
pairing 10 house 100 veterans In va
cant buildings. General TeaRue to-
day wires us that We must expect
several hundred veterans 80 that we
face deficiency of homes equal to
the number we have obtained.
II is hard for the committee to see
all and may be that there are those
who expect to entertain some veteran
and the name has not been turned In.
This makes II necessary that the
committee provide a home for the
veteran you expect to obtain. The
committee, therefore urges that all
such names be sent in or. 'phoned to
the Chamber Of Commerce, and that
every home that Is willing to open
its doors TO at least one veteran will
let tnul lact De known. we all pro-
fess to love the veterans who gave 4
years Of their life to tho Confederacy,
but 1t is little evidence of that love
IL we refuse to open our homes to
them Tor 2 deys. This last appeal is
made In the belief that our people
will open their doors now that they
know the conditions. Don't wait for
one of the committee; use your phone
now.

POWERFUL POWERFUL ENGINES ENGINES $

PIEDMONT & NORTHERN is
IMPROVING SERVICE
TWO ANNOUNCED
New Machinery Has Been Receiv..
ed For Freight Traffic of Line
and Is Now Being Used

The Piedmont g. Northern Line Is
placing In commission six powerful
electric locomotives OF a new type on
the Greenviie, Spartanburg & Ander-
son division OF the system. These
locomotives 63 1-2 tons, with all the
weight on drivers, have the box type
OF a cab extending nearly the entire
length of the under frame, and are
designed for heavy freight service. At
the normal rating of the motors, with
which each locomotive Is equipped,
they viii develop a tractive effort of
1850 pounds and speed of 81 miles
per hour. The locomotive will handle
trains of 800 to 1000 tons gross weight
The new locomotives we're designed
and built by the General Electric COM
pany. The cab is of the all-steel box
type and extends nearly the entire
length OF the under framing. Outside
platforms of suitable width are left at
each end for the switchman to handle
the trolley poles and are protected by
side and end hand or guard rails. In
the interior the cab Is open through
out as far as is consistent with the ap-
paratus located therein. While the
operating mechanism is grouped in the
central section. it Is not located in a
compartment separate rom the engin-
eer's operating ca0s. Convenient pas
sage-ways run along each side and
connect with the operating positions
in each end.
Each locomotive is driven by four
motors, insulated for operation .on
l 800 volts. Each motor Is geared to an
axle. All the axies are therefore drlv-
ing axles. For This complete equip
ment of four motors on q locomotive
this Is equivalent iu u continuously
sustained tractive effort OF tf,2G0

The locomotive is equipped with
standard luminous arc headlights fit

ders are pneumatically>o operated. Sand
boxes Of ample capacity are located
alongside. iha GnnE5 IL e.SL off Inc
cab, and the valves are arranged for
sanding the track In front OF the lead
ing wheels ut either end when run
ming in either direction. The interior
of the cabin is Illuminated by incan-
descent lamps. Included among these
are two portable lamps with extension
cords installed at the centre In the
side passageways. The bell is fitted
with anSaitonaat,e bell ringer and the
whistle is air operated Two air sig
mails are supplied, one in each end Of

When an automobile owner or driv-

For the year of 1914 why not make
a resolution that you will do your lit

The first and most important les.

OF the good roads clubs In Texas,
Don't Drive In the Rut!"
Examples innumerable in all parts
of the country might be recited in this
article where fine pieces Of highway

who persist in travelling on exactly
the same lines as the other fellow.
How often have you seen a well

often twelve feet wide is called upon
to stand the strain of all the machines
