and is extremely inexpensive, but the
great amount of rubbing necessary to
dry the surface does not recommend
it. particularly in the summer when
physical exertion is to be considered.

collecting dust readily, and then dries
on. producing a roughness that is re
moved only by refnishing the entire
surface. II is wiser TO select pre-
pared polish, which is usually a corr
bination of linseed oil and a drier,
often turpentine, the latter ingredient
irsuring against that undesirable ac-
emulation Of oily substance which
eventually ruins the finish.
In order TO prevent the white film
or dull appearance often seen on fur
niture in summer the polish should be
used once in two or three weeks. The
slip covers should be removed as often
as this. as dust Sits through surpris-
ingly, and all upholstery brushed or
vacuumed, the wood portions being
carefully busted. Then the polish
should be applied sparingly with

the surface should then be rubbed with
a dry, soft cloth, using long. sweeping
motions, following the grain OF the
wood and continuing rather gently
until the wood is thoroughly dry and
perfectly free from oil. This will give
a good finish and will obliterate tie

Volunteer workers who have achieved
the making Of one OF these perfect

holders OF which may become accred-

This surgical department works both
for European war relief and United
States military reserve, and the civil
ians who are in need are helped as well
as the soldiers.
Though many thousands Of dressings
have been sent 70 Europe during the
present war they are only part Of
the contents Of the big packing cases.
There are the hospital garments made
according TO specified instructions from
the hospitals from which the, requests
for them have come, and the garments
for destitute -combatants. women
and children.
This department also illustrates the
way In which new emergencies are met
