found on an expensive summer estate,
It's members decided. however. that
they would not eat In the hot dining
room adjoining the kitchen when
there were shady trees and cool
breezes out Of doors. How to do this
without extravaganza was the prob

SPRING HOUSEKEEPING
How II Can Be Made Easy by Adopting
System.

housekeeping Is no longer thing TO
be dreaded. If done Systematically 1t
becomes as easy rs any other house
hold task. To clean Il house system.
atlcal!y one must do it one room at Il
time, goods In the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college are taught. This de
stroys the old custom of having the Ell
tire house upset at once, and the clean
ing Is more thorough than when done
by the old method The same general
rules viii apply to the cleaning of ev-
cry room from cellar to garnet.
First all small articles, including pic
lures, should be busted and taken from
the room or put under cover. The
lighter pieces of furniture should then
be removed to another room and those
remaining covered The walls and cell
iugs should be busted with a special
brush provided for the purpose, or with
a broom covered with a soft cloth.
The rugs should be taken outside and
beaten or swept with wet bits of paper.
If the floor, Is hard wood it should be
brushed with soft brush or string mop,
This shonlti be done with long, steady
strokes from the corners to the center
OF the room. The dust should be car
ried out Immediately. A cedar mop or
| string mop wet with kerosene is then
used, still working from the corners to
the center OF the room.
After the dust settles, dust all ex-
posed surfaces. The woodwork may be
cleaned with n soft cloth, tepid water
| and a small amount Of soap solution.
| The covers may then be removed from
the furniture and the polished sur
faces cleaned with velvet sponge wet
IN tepid water and dried with a cham
DIS skin. The rugs and small articles
may then he replaced, and the room Is
in order with practically no disturb
ance to the remainder Of the house.

soPHoMoREs SUSPENDED
Three Members of Glass at Norwich
Also Expelled.

Northfeld May 25.-Three members
of the sophomore class of Norwich
University were expelled and the re
mainder indefinitely suspended today
by the faculty as the result OF haz
ing investigation which has been in
progress for the past two days at the
university. The members who were
expelled, Bernhard Waterman Jacobs
of Berlin. n. H., Leonard Hastings Ma
son of Auburndale, Mass, and A. A
Osden Of Barre, left today for their
homes and the suspended boys will
leave the university tomorrow The
suspension of the class will not be re-
yoked by the faculty, but if any of its
members apply individually for rein
statement, their cases will be consider
ed This drastic action is the result
of the firm resolve of Col, Ira l.,
Reeves, president OF Norwich, &c
abolish hazing at the university and
the other classes are firm in their sup
port of the stand taken by the presi-
dent and other members of the faculty
The hazing incident which led to the
dismissal of the entire sophomore
class occurred Tuesday night, when
five freshmen were taken some dis
lance from the college grounds by
sophomores and put through a severe
course Of stunts, which is reported to
have included some heavy padding
Reports of this happening reached
Colonel Reeves through townspeople
and he Immediately ordered a rigid in
vestigation. The entire class claimed
equal guilt in the matter and the mem
bers expelled are not ring leaders, but
are students who were already on pro
baton for other offences against dis
cipline maintained at the university
which is the oldest military school in
the country, next to West Point
A meeting of the entire faculty was
summoned by President Reeves and
the matter placed before them, with
the results as above stated. While
deeply regretting the necessity OF
such severe action the authorities felt
that they had no alternative, as ever
since assuming the presidency of the
institution last fall, Colonel Reeves
has taken a determined stand against
the practice OF hazing, which has al
ways been more or less prevalent
there.

HOW
To Make Shabby or Old
Furniture Look New

~ Id furniture looks shabby in the
spring, when almost everything
q else is fresh and clean, bat 1t
can be made like new with the
expenditure of a little time and money.
First the old finish must be taken off
the furniture. This may be done with
varnish remover. which may be pur-
chased at hardware store. Two
quarts will remove the varnish from
all the furniture in the average living
room. This remover should be applied
with brush or n cloth and allowed to
stand for few minutes 1t must then
be rubbed or scraped off. After this
the scraper should be used until the
wood is reached, because a varnish
viii no. take stain.
If the wood Is an open grain piece,
such as chestnut, walnut or oak, filler
must be used to make a smooth sur
face. This may be bought or prepared
at home. The formula for the prepa-
ration is as follows: One pound Of corn
starch and three-fourths pint Of boiled
linseed oil or turpentine colored with
burned lumber or lampblack. After the
stain and the filler have been applied
the wood may be covered with floor
on furniture varnish or Il wax. If a
wax finish is desired the stain should
be put on and allowed to stand until
the next day, when the wax or yarnish
may be applied. Wax is the preferable
finish since it does not gather up the
dust particles so readily as the varnish
and is more easily applied.
