USING THE SEWING MACHINE
One Who Does Much Sewing Should
See That II 10 Always In
Perfect Condition.

When much machine work has

slant annoyance. This can be part
ly obviated by threading the shuttle
with finer cotton than that used on
the needle. The sewing will be quite
as strong, and the shuttle will not
need reflling half SO often as 1t
would If threaded with the same num-
Der of cotton as the needle, because
the spool will hold great deal more
of the finer cotton.
II you want your sewing machine
to do satisfactory work, remember
that it needs to be kept clean. After
every ten hours work 1t needs oil.
but all surplus oil must be carefully
wiped of afterwards. Always work
it steadily, and never start or stop
with jerk.

the vital Importance of keeping the kid

a tablespoonful in 9 glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few

'"There isn't any place under the sun

because we haven't any Industries.
Yet we have been doing our advertis-

upon individual expenditures by hotel
