ter. the mud and dirt can be removed
from the soles and sides. A heavy cloth
should also be provided in the box,
sible mud or dirt from the shoes. An
old whisk broom should be on hand
also with which to brush the cloth or
suede uppers Of shoes, and this, of
course. should be kept dry.
The so-called liquid dressing is cas-
lest to apply. but the paste dressing or
combination liquid and paste dressing
Is usually more satisfactory. This is
true whether the shoes are tan or
black. In the combination method the
liquid Is applied usually by means Of
sponge and allowed to dry thorough
ly before the paste is applied.
Now, In applying the paste, 1t is
much the most convenient way to have
good supply of little squares Of soft
cheesecloth. gauze or old muslin with
which to apply 1t, and one Of these
might be used each time shoes are
polished. The tin paste should always

Always keep the brushes and cloths

become hard a few drops of turpentine
mixed in 1t will bring 1t back to con-
dition again.

ENGLISH As TEA DRINKERS
Why the Custom Has Grown in q
Few Years

One remarkable feature Of English
domestic life has been the increase in
tea drinking. In 1875 the consumption
Of tea per head Of the population In
the United Kingdom was four and a
half pounds. In 1918 1t was six and
three quarter pounds. The increase
has been all to the good from the
point Of view Of the nations soortety
It represents a real change In haoit
Formerly 1t was customary Tor ous'
mess men to clinch a bargain over
glass Of wine OF ale. Now this custom
is far more honored in the breach than
in the observance. In busy cities tea
is the beverage. The clerk. the fore-
man, the operative, the working wn-
man, all drink tea, greatly to the ad-
vantage of health and pocket.
The great increase in the consump-
ton Of tea is very largely due to the
efforts of British planters in India.
Formerly all tea came from China.
Fortunately, however. It was discovered
that the tea shrub Is q native of Assam.

POTATO NOTES

cars and he. too. wanted one. But he
had no money. Nothing daunted. how

owned a second hand auto, agreeing
to deliver this fall 400 barrels Of NOR
charitable potatoes in exchange. The
trade was made. the writings drawn up
and signed. The potatoes were deliv-
cred last week, and II sold at the then
market price the owner could have re-
csivsd $500 for thsm-truiy . good price
