Off by shell in the fighting at Ypres.,
The injury was so bad that after

lands for some time. A short time ago
he recovered sufficiently to leave the
hospital and came to London appar-
emily quite well. But from some .rea-
son infection again appeared in the
amputated arm and a further opera
ton was deemed necessary to stop
the danger of poisoning.
Corporal Mayes was put under an

ceased to beat. The case seemed to
be hopeless and the waiting relatives

been restored to life when all other
means would have failed.

Wood ashes are one Of the best rem

The black beetle Is another pest
that does deadly work with the aster
plants. This pest comes suddenly and
does ruinOus work in very little

One half pound of any good soap,
ivory or other white soap, reduced to
a liquid by melting.
One teacupful of kerosene.
Let the soap with little water come
to a boil. Add the kerosene. Stir the
mixture vigorously while cooling. Use
one part of this to ten parts Of water.

A DustIess Mop.

Now that housekeepers are in
the midst of spring houseclean-
ing, many will want to know
how to make a dust cloth or mop
which will catch and hold the
dust. and not permit it to be
scattered about as the ordinary
dry dust cloth is sure to do.
: Take a length, any length you
desire) of cheesecloth, hem it
neatly, and dip it into cedar oil,
linseed oil or kerosene. Then
wiring it as dry as possible and
hang it in the air until it is dry.
That is your dustless buster.
The first named oil is best, but
the others will do very we'll if
you can't procure the cedar oil.
Now for the the mop. If you
have a floor mop and want to
make it the dustless kind, SIM
ply dip it in oil, squeeze and let
dry. A very good mop can be
made by taking several old stock
ing and cutting them in inch
wide strips. Bind them to the
end of an old broom handle and
tack them fast, then dip into the
oil and allow to dry in the air.
Old rope cut in lengths of
about IA inches. then the lengths
tied in the center and bound and
nailed TO a broom handle makes
a good mop. The ends of the
rope are separated or fringed
before dipping into the oil.
Each of these busters and
mops can be washed when they
are filled with dust and when dry
they will be as good as ever. If,
however, after washing several
times the oil is gone, simply dip
them again in the oil. and pro.
coed as before.
