that it may help give greater force to the jaws motion
 But the chin does more than help increase the force of the blows Cf mans mastiCating hammer In all probability it was the develop ment of the chin which shaped the form of the teeth and helped develop them into an efficient mechanism for grinding of food
 The chin. by it's weight and posi- tion also helps make the normal movement of the jaw rbythmicai, and it increases the jaws mometum just when the greatest resistance is being met from food. The rhyth- mical movement of the jaw is of great importance, for it makes it possible to masticate our food with no conscious variation of muscular effort
 In the numerous smaller chewing movements necessary to grind up small morsels of food the chin serves as a useful balance in help ing guide our teeth into the position where they can do the most effective work. It is true that animals which have no chins are able to chew fairly well but in the niceties of mastication their dental apparatus is far from being so efficient as mans. And this efficiency is largely due to mans chin
 This balance, or steadyng, sup piled by the chin is an important factor in controlling the rapid move ments of the lower jaw when We talk. Professor D. NJ. Shaw sug- gestS that the man who wrote a book on The Speech of Monkeys" might, possibly have had more hope of success in interpreting the language of these animals if only he could have subdued and steadied their chatterings by providing them with good Weiehty chins

WASHING POLISHED WOOD.

Wood of highly polished surface should be carefully cleaned It can often be washed with warm soapy water which must be immediately removed with cloth wrung dry from clear warm water The wood should then be thoroughly dried and polished with good oil.
 If the wood will not stand water it can be cleansed with olive oil, which must be applied with a great deal of rubbing. to which few drops of alcohol have been added, Any good commercial furniture pol ish also will clean wood.
 Willow or wicker furniture should be washed. If the furniture is var nished or painted with high finish 1t should be washed in clear, cold water. If it is stained with dull stain it can be washed in warm soap suds.

CLOTHES THAT ARE ELECTRIC
 ALLY HEATED

Electric clothes are the latest marvel which science has devised for mankinds health and comfort The invention of apparel which in cludes an electrical apparatus for warming the body of the person who wears 1t has already passed the experimental stage. There are now being made in France garments whose fabric ingeniously conceals compact electric heating system powerful enough to keep a person comfortable even in zero weather.
 For the present the high cost of manufacturing these garments pre- vents their coming into general use. but there is good reason to believe that it will not be long before a way will be found to bring them within reach of everybody.
 In tie suits as made by Prof. M c. Herrgott of Belfort the wiring is woven into the cloth so that only an expert would know 1t was there and so that it does not In the least affect the appearance of the fabric or it's suppleness and wearing quail ties. Tie metal used is an alloy which is very light and will not rust and the construction is such that a short circuit with the consequent shock or burn to the wearer, is practically impossible.
 One of these electric suits can be connected to any electric current of ordinary voltage, just as you do an electric iron or a fan or a lamp. Storage batteries carried in the pockets will be sufficient to keep the suits heated for short periods and automobilists can make connec- tion with powerful batteries in their cars when they feel the ar is too Cold-EN.

USING UP THE SHELLS OF THE
 EDAM CHEESES.

The shells of the Edam or pine apple cheeses often are lost. They may be used as case in which to heat and serve macaroni or rice but, even so considerable cheese is lost. Far more economical is it to break up the shell and piece by piece grate off the cheese adhering says the Chicago Journal. When or dinary cheese is cut away from the rind a thick rind is inevitably left which can be reduced by grating A better way is to scrape or peel a thin rind from a wedge of cheese before slicing away The rind itself should not be used

REBUkE AND KINDNESS.

If for every rebuke that we utter of mems vices, we put forth claim upon their hearts; if for every as sertion of Gods demands from them, we could substitute a display of His kindness to them; . if, in fine instead of assuming the being of an awful Deity. which men, though they cannot, and dare not deny, are always unwilling, sometimes unable to conceive, we were to show them a near, visible, inevitable, but all beneficent Deity. whose presence makes the earth itself a heaven. I think there would be fewer deaf children sitting in the market place. John Ruskin.

MASONS MAKE RECORD GAINS.

That the progress of the Masonic order in Louisiana in 1914 was the greatest ever recorded in a single year was stated by the grand mas ter, James H. Caldwell, in his an nual report read at the first meet ing of the grand lodge. recently, says the Item. Mir. Caldwell said the year was considered a very success ful one, with an increase in mem bership in the 220 lodges in the state of TAO. but 1915 shows an in. crease over the year 1914 of 1902, making the membership at the pres ent time 16,870.

ABOUT RAPID COOKING.

A teacher of cooking says there are few cases where rapid cooking is necessary. Some cooks think meat should be boiled very hard. But this should be only the first five minutes, to keep the juice in; after that the heat may be reduced
 Fish should be wrapped in a cloth, put into cold salted water and gradually brought to the boiling point. Fish is cooked in short time by this method.

TO CLEAN BRUSHES.

To wash brushes and combs, put a teaspoonful of ammonia into a basin of hot water and dip the brush up and down in it. letting the comb remain in the water for a few minutes. In this way all the grease will disappear. and after rinsing in cold water both brushes and combs will be perfectly clean.

To remove ink stains from table linen and other white articles queaZe the juice of fresh lemon over the stain; let it remain on a minute; then rinse in warm water, and the stain will have disappeared.
 Before storing knives oil them carefully and wrap them in paper. This is to keep them from rusting, but il will be we'll to inspect them occasionally for they may need oil ing again, and with rust prevention is certainly better than care.
 The best way to clean out lead pipes without the expensive aid of a plumber is to pour strong solu- ton of concentrated lye down them. The lye will dissolve hair, lint and. indeed all animal and vegetable matter, and so open the pipes.
 Even the best refrigerator and the most careful housekeeping will not prevent some things from spoil ing sometimes. But couple of pieces of charcoal laid in the bottom of the refrigerator will considerably decrease the danger
