SOLUTION TO CLEAN SILVER
Method by Which the Prized Table Utensils Will Take on a Polish
 Without Injury.

Every housekeeper takes pride in keeping her silver bright and shining, whether her choicest collection be great grandmothers treasured tea spoons or the latest achievement of the jewellers art.
 But whether her silver is of this year or of century ago, the sulphur in eggs, rubber, natural gas, water, white tissue paper, and in the white cloth, so often used in making silver cases, will turn the best polish she can put on 1t to a yellowish brown.
 To clean by rubbing with whiting or any of the silver polishes is a long and laborious process, and one which must be repeated frequently; but ali easier method which does not injure the silver, may be employed.
 Dissolve one teaspoonful of com mon salt and one teaspoonful of soda in one quart of water, and place in a galvanized pan Silver placed in this solution takes on polish without rubbing. To get results it is neces sary to keep the inside of the pan thoroughly clean.
 By placing in the solution a small piece of zinc or the lid of a Mason jar the use of the galvanized pan be- comes unnecessary and any kind of a pan may be used

MEETING THE NEEDS OF ALL
Important Point in Housekeeping Which the Mother Will Do We'll
 to Remember.

One of the most important points in housekeeping is planning the dietary to meet the needs of all members of the family. This means that the main part of the meal is made suitable for all and to this is added the foods es- pecially needed by each individual. the simple light dishes for little children and the energy producing foods for outdoor workers. The choice of these is always matter of individual judg- ment and observation based upon an understanding of the general prins ciples of well balanced diet.
 One thing, though. should always be kept in mind that where the main dish of the meal or the dessert intend ed for adults is too heavy for childish ly attractive to the children should be provided. It may not be wise to let the children share the pie or rich pud- ding provided for adults, but when the more elaborate dish appears upon the table, rather special pains should be taken to provide dainty and tempt ing dessert for the children. The GUS tard or rice pudding or fruit daintily served costs very little trouble and brings lot of happiness to the chil- dren who would otherwise feel only it was hard thing to be little boy or girl when grownups eat just what they please.

One way to serve it is to spice it in this way: Remove contents from a can and crush all the bones and re move any bits of skin. The bones should not be removed for they are pure lime and we get too little lime in our foods to waste bit Spice enough vinegar to cover the salmon and heat it until it Is almost boiling, Pour this over the salmon and set it aside to steam and cool but cover 1t well.
