is there no way to make this bur-
den less?
Several years ago a new discov-
cry was heralded with open, unques-
tioning arms, that of a miraculous
bath into which silver could be dip
ped. and from which it could emerge
shining and white without the labor
of hands. At first this was used
I'm a special box. bur later the same
idea was applied to a small section
OF metal which. when laid into any
vessel and covered with a certain
solution of salt and baking soda ef-
fected the same marvellous trans
formation. The principle of this
bath was that the piece of zinc, or
the specially manufactured box, to-
gether with the baking soda salt
solution, attacked the discoloration
on the silver, (Which is really an
oxidation from the alr) and removed
il. There is nothing wrong with
the theory, and the same idea can
be developed not only with special
~ prepared pan and piece Of metal,
but W tn the same solution used In
an aluminium pan, with the silver
laid on the bottom Of the pan.
