Homemade Clements.

Accidents will happen despite all
ones care, so if valuable piece of
china or bric-a-brac falls and breaks
! do not throw away the pieces, but put
| the article together again. If this is
done skillfully the cracks will never
show, and if mended properly the arti-
Gle will surely hold together.
There are many good prepared ce-
ments on the market, but there are
equally good homemade ones. The
cement, however, is not everything
One must know how to go about mend
ing. Most women know the edges to be
joined must be clean, and so they often
rub SO hard as to remove the rough
ened surfaces This lessons the chance
of a successful repair, because the ce-
ment cannot sink into the smooth edges
as it would were they irregular and all
in little crevices, as it were. Next, the
edges must be thoroughly dry before
the cement is applied. 1t is good plan
when there are several pieces TO De
jointed to mend one at time and let
each get thoroughly dry and hardened
, before applying the next
To mend, first heat the edges and then
apply the cement to both. Bring to-
gether and hold until it begins to
| harden, pressing firmly. Then the artl-
Gle may be put away.
An excellent cement for mendlns
glass and china ware is simple and in
expensive Isinglass dissolved IN It's
own weight of whisky: gin or alcohol
applied as directed will hold and the
joint be scarcely visible.
One of the finest and most delicate OF
cementS made is a mixture OF one ounce
of iSinglass and one-half ounce OF gum
arabic covered with good alcohol.
This should be put into bottle, loose
ly corked and set into kettle of hot
water until thoroughly dissolved. This
cement can be used for mendlng the
finest woods, as a piano clipped, or TO
! set pieces that may have broken loose
| from an inset table top or other piece
! of furniture. Jewelry is also sometimes
| repaired with this cement, and SO is
| polished steel.

the home. 1t is just the white of an
! egg mixed into a paste with flour. This

! If iron filings are added to the mix
j ture cement for mend1ng broken

| A good cement which will hold labels

i part of borax to five of gum shellac in

THE THIRD HOUSE.

Senator Ackley's startling proposal to re-
model the state government by REQUIRING
the finance committee to submit all appro-
.priation measures to the governor before
reporting them out IN the legislature shows
an utter misconception of state government.
It is rather frank confession for legislator
that he thinks the legislature Of secondary
importance in governing the state, but the
constitution gives first place. The govern
ments authority extends to approving or dis
approving measures which the Legislature
has voted on, not to debating in advance
what they may be. 1t is strange TO find
reactionaries who are SO prone to- pirate of
their love for the constitution, ready to dis .
regard it in the most important function of
democratic government the voting of
money.
This is only more evidence of Mr..
Philips idea that the governor is the only
person whom the people, elect to do their
business and legislators, responsibility is
not to represent his constituents but to put
through pet measures for the governor.
But government isn't carried on that way
and the governors conception Of it has
been the chief reason for the failure of his
administration. The people who elect
aren't very keen to have their representa-
tives come home to them, saving: eve
asked the governor what we might do.''

South the demoralixed cotton situa-

now that ten-cent cotton Is In sight,

Hard times have been almost for
got, and everybody is talking about
the prosperity that 1915 has III store.
