isa great short story, but London also
wrote that stuff from Reno about the

HOW TO CLEANSE AND CARE FOR A WOUND
 WITHOUT A DOCTOR

In cleaning any wound the final washing should be with boiled water that has been cooled Boiling kills any germs that may be in the water. so that when the germ carrying dirt has been washed away the boiled wa ter will leave no other germs in it's place Boiled bandages are best too. Of course they cannot be boiled as wanted every time, so it is a wise plan to boil some pieces of old tablecloth and roll them up ready for use. In case of sudden emergencies when dry bandages must be applied and there are no boiled ones at hand put a piece piece of old linen or other clean white cloth on a plate and bake it in hot oven for ten minutes. The oven must not be hot enough to scorch the cloth.
 Mothers who remam in the city ought not depend upon the drug store too much, either. It is equally wise for them to be prepared for accidents Ther is so much refuse left in va cant lots, such as broken china and tin cans. on which a child may cut himself. or fall on the pavement may grind dirt into hands and knees. It is the part of wisdom to keep a solu- tion of boric acid in the house and use it to bathe the infected parts. using one tablespoonful of the liquid to a glassful of boiled water
 While a broken skin is one chief factor in infection. there are other ways for children to get germs and dirt into their systems. These cannot be reached by antiseptics. They must be prevented by teaching children to form clean habits

TEST FOR CLOTHS.

To test silk boil the sample in 5 per cent solution of caustic potash for if teen minutes. If the silk is pure the fabric will be practically destroyed. leaving but a small residue like paper ashes. If there is cotton in it the cot ton will remain. Another excellent test is to remove the threads which form the warp and the wool Keep these separately and test them in strong hydrochloric or sulphuric acid. If they are pure silk the threads will dissolve within two minutes. If there is either wool or cotton in the fabric the threads will remain unaffected.
 Pure woolens are adulterated even more than silk because they are in greater demand and also because they are quite easy to initiate, Many yard of cloth sold as pure wool" contains
The daily progressive-miner., 1916-10-26

from 30 to GO per cent cotton. Blan- kets sold as half wool" have frequent lv been found to contain only 10 per cent of pure wool There are ma, chimes today which cleverly warp wool around cotton threads. and the finish ed product has every appearance of being all wool. Another method of adulterating is by taking cotton cloth and "felting' short woolen threads upon its surface by means of heat, moisture and pressure.
 A purchased may be fully convinced from the appearance and feeling of cloth that it is all wool, but the only safe method is to take home the sample and make tests. Immerse the sample of so called wool in oil of yit- riol for about two minutes. This will destroy the cotton. but the wool will not be affected Another test is to moisten sample with 50 per cent nitric acid. This will turn the wool yellow, but the cotton will retain its color.
 Use the same tests for linens that YOU do for woolens. If the sample is genuine linen it will not be affected by oil of vitroil, but any cotton that is in it will be destroyed. Imitation damask is made today by means of printing upon the surface, with sort of transparent mucilage, the designs, These designs appear to be woven into the cloth. By immersing a sample in boiling hot water and allowing it to boil for several minutes the design will disappear.

DINNER FOR BOSS IF
 MEN WIN STRIKE

Though only recently developed, Chinese chambers of commerce play an important part in hte affairs of their cities, and especially interesting is the manner in which labor disputes are settled by them. Reputable mer- chants settle their difficulties in their guilds, and when the guilds cannot settle them-that is, when they eX- tend beyond the scope of certain guild-chamber of commerce are ap- pealed to and a committee is chosen from the chamber, or by the chambers s executive committee, to adjudicate the disputed matter. After a dispute is settled by the arbitration commit tee the parties meet at festal board, the one awarded the decision paying the expenses of the feast.
