sups, or anything that needs strain

ordinary flour sitter, or keep one for
that purpose. The use of the crank
will do the work in half the time It
takes to rub food through with

without being roiled, or are even
soiled. rub with a cloth wet il cold
starch until clean, and dampen the

OF the child's soles. and with the
white of egg paste them inside and
keep the little people from having
cold feet, A heavy piece of cloth cut
from mems trousers the size of the
rubber sole and pasted inside will be
wonderful help to keep anybody's
feet warm in cold weather.
To clean furs, take pan OF bran,
heat it hot, and rub and wash the
furs in il as If it were water. Then
pound with stick until all the bran
is out; hang out TO air and the furs
will be as sweet and clean as II done

One woman who has excellent palms

Charles Pechard, police official OF

that enables one to shoot revolver

This attachment consists OF a metal.
lie tube with lens at one end and a
tiny electric lamp at the other. By
means OF mirrors the light is directed
out through the lens as a slender cone,
and is sufficiently strong at a distance
Of some four rods for all practical pur-

The electric current Ia supplied by {
small dry battery or a storage battery
which the officer can carry In hi:

light tube can be attached to an ordl-
nary pistol, and It may be used as a
fash with peaceful intent or merely
