night makes work for the eye specialist

Sewing machine oil spots may be re-
moved by rubbing the stain with lard.
Let stand q few hours and wash with
cold water and soap. Ifa piece OF waste
muslin is run through the machine after
oiling. any oil that finds its way to the
needle will be absorbed.
We have discovered that an old safety
razor blade comes handy in the sewing
room for ripping.
hastings can be easily pulled out
without wrinklipg the fabric If they are
clipped at five or six inch intervals.
When sewing must be done 10 the Nv
ing room, 1t takes some time to clean up
threads and litter. 1t is help TO have
a large square of oil cloth under the ma.
chine and try to have all the trash fall
on it, then il can be quickly removed.
Biting threads is bad habit because
it breaks the enamel on the teeth. 1t Is
not so difficult to have small pair OF
scissors handy.
For hemming and finishing light col.
ored silks, very fine white cotton thread
Is better Than sewing silk. The cotton
thread goes into the fabric and is almost
invisible.
To work a neat buttonhole in very
thin material, hold several thicknesses
of the fabric together, cut buttonhole
and work through these, then cut away
the ones on the under side.
Always remember that washable fab
RIGS shrink quite a good bit in the first
washing, hence it is best to subject them
to a thorough shrinking before the ma
terial is cut. Laces, embroideries, and
braids to be used for tub frocks should
also be shrunk before using.
The shrinking process is not so DIM
cult. Saturate the material completely
with hot water and be sure the water is
real hot. Let the goods stay In the
water few minutes then hang on the
line without wringing. Pin 1t on the
line along the selvage, straight and
even. Press on wrong side while mate
rial is damp and always press up and
down or straight across, keeping sell

The pineapple il one OF the most deli
cious and hsalthful of fruits, its juice
being a potent aid to digestion. II
should be used freely on our tables, as il
may be prepared in many attractive and
appetizing ways.
The pineapple is found In northern
markets most abundantly during the
spring months, and its price Is not then
prohibitive. The last week Of May OF
the first week of June is the proper time
to buy for canning, as then they are gen
orally cheapest and best. find the larg.
est size the most economical to buy, az
there Is so much less waste. A good
test in selecting pineapples is to pull on
the center spines at the top. II they
come out very easily, the pineapple ID
ripe and fit for canning.
In preparing the fruit, cut crosswise
in inch slices. The slices are then easily
pared, and eyes removed.
CANNED PINEAPPLE
Pare and slice from the core 10 medi
UNI sized pieces. Add graduated sugar
allowing cup to each pineapple. Stir
well and set 10 q cool place over night
In the morning the fruit will be vel

FISH GATHER IN MILLIONS
Remarkable Schools Of HsrrinSs That
Annually Assemble on the North
Pacific Coast.

Every summer there is q remark
able run Of herring on the north Pa
cific coast. These fish come in SUCH
shoals that they seem q solid moving
mass. They crowd into the lnlets
and sheltered bays and can be taken
In millions BY the simplest means.
Men and boys on the Grand Trunk
Pacific dock 1T Prince Rupert use
waste paper baskets, and similar uten!
sils, which, with rope attached are
thrown into the water and allowed
to sink below the surface, then hauled
in. again full of Overlooking with love-
ly herring.
But . better idea Of the density %
these schools of fish Is Afforded by
the fact that fishing lines with hook
attached can be sunk in the water.
and pulled out instantly with just az
many fish as there are hooks, be- there
q dozen or fifty.
Tons Of these herring arc taken BY
the fish companies and frozen in boxes
for use as bait FOL. the halibut fisheries.'
They are an; excellent table fish, and
there ought to be : profitable market
for them in the interior. AS yet com.
paratively few ;ofS them are shipped
though dealers afe now calling for
them. n .S !,
Fishermen say the herrings seek
the bays to escape the whales, which
prey on them in certain localities dur.

NEW COMMISSIONERS.
There should be no friction in

There should be no friction in re-
organizing the city commission this
week. The voters of Bismarck decid-
ed upon change in the street de-
partment and they also went on rec.
ord emphatically for a shake.up in
the police department.
Commissioners Best and Kirk doubt.
less will be assigned to the depart
ments of street and police. The other
three commissioners seem inclined to
give them their choice in the matter.
Harmony is essential and as far as
the Tribune knows, the commission.
ers who constitute a majority are as
anxious as anyone to prevent fric-
ton.
Any attempt, however, to defeat the
verdict of the people will meet with
disapproval. If Mr.. Best is assigned
to streets, he should be allowed to or
ganize his department unhampered.
Should it be deemed wise to assign
Commissioner Kirk to police, he
should be given free hand in that
department. In other words, Mr..
Best should be given the same free
Ne.
dom in handling the street depart
ment as was Commissioner .Hinckley.
Also,;it would be manifestly unfair to
give Commissioner Kirk less control
over the police department. than was
conferred upon E. G. Patterson.
The Tribune believes that Commits
sioners Battey, Lucas and Bertsch
will give the new members every con-
sheraton and cooperate in way to
make the city administration as eff
cient,sif not more so, than under the
old regime. No one wants to see any
department 60 backward. 4
It is essential, however, that Com
missioners Best and Kirk be allowed
to organize their own departments.
Any other action would be unwise and
only create friction at the start.
