CLEANING ALUMINIUM.

The home economics experts of the department of agriculture have studied the cleaning of aluminium ware as a part of their work on household equip ment.
 Unless a kettle is very badly dis. colored it is best to clean it by SCOUT ing. An aluminium utensil which is given proper daily care probably will not become so stained as to need clean ing by other methods. The kettle should first be freed from all adhering food and washed in hot water with a mild soap. Scraping should be done with a wooden spoon, since aluminium is soft metal and easily scratched.
 Commercial securing pastes and pow. ders containing soap and gritty ma. terial are on the market and are in many cases satisfactory. Securing soaps which come in cakes are also effective, but less convenient to use be. cause of the time and strength con- sumed in rubbing off enough from the cake upon the securing cloth.
 In cleaning aluminium strong alkali should never be used since it attacks and dissolves the metal. Such house. hold alkalis as washing soda, potash, I've. or even strongly alkaline soap, should be avoided.
 From the data reported in chemical literature on the subject it does not appear that food, when cooked in alum inum ware under ordinary household conditions, dissolve any considerable amount of the metal. There is no reason to suppose that aluminium as it might possibly thus occur in food so cooked would prove harmful.

1917 CHRISTMAS CLUB
Canaan National Bank Adopts Plan of
 Christmas Savings.

The Christmas Club which has proved so popular throughout the coun. try has been adopted by The Canaan National Bank.
 Circulars are being distributed by the officels outlining the plan and showing the results of depositing a stated sum each week in the bank, to he withdrawn after fifty weeks. The Christmas Club will start Tuesday, December 26; the features of which are the formation of four classes with the deposit of either cents, ? cents, 25 cents or 50 cents each week.
 In case it starts with cents the first week, adding 3 cents each week until the fiftieth week the deposit is $2. 30; then the bank gives a check to the club member of $63.75. In class the same order is. followed, depositing cents the first week, cents the second and so on until at ten days before Christ mas 1917 the check will be $25.50.
 If the members choose to deposit an equal amount each week two other classes are offered; if 50 cents is de. posited each week the total paid to the members will be $25. In the 100 class, a deposit of $1.00 each week brings a check of $50 at the end of the fifty weeks.
 In classes 3 and tIe order may be reversed, depositing the largest amount the first week and decreasing cents or 3 cents each week to the end of the term.
 Under no circumstances will any withdrawals either in whole or in part be allowed until the end of the term.
 The Christmas Club should commend itself to all those who wonder every year where their Christmas money is coming from.

CATHOLIC CLUB FAIR
Annual Event Ahracks Crowd to odd
 Fellows Hall.

The members of the Catholic Ladies' with the result of their sale, supper and dance held Wednesday night. No vember 29.
 Odd Fellows hall was prettily dee- orated by the committee under the dS- rection of Mrs. T. H. Graves. Orange and white streamers hung from the electric lights with the center liRhk decorated in red. Crepe paper with turkey designs encircled the fancy article booth at which was a big dis play of hand made work that found H ready sale. Those who assisted at tho fancy table were Mrs. Catherine Briggs, Mrs. w. J. Reel and Mrs. ]. H. Smith-
 The supper, which was in charge of Mrs. Devine, Mrs. McCarty, Mrs. Me Cormick, Mrs. Graves and Miss Mar garet Flynn, was all that could be ds- sired and was generously patronized by representatives of all the churches Mrs. Daniel Sweeney acting as cashier, Mrs. John Smith, Mrs. Norman Hicks. Mrs. Robert Black, Mrs. A. l.. Higgins and Misses Elizabeth O'Keefe, Gertrude Hugins, Mary Mansfield and Margaret McGuire serving the tables, se0lng that the wants of their guests were we'll supplied.

FOR THE TIRED CLERK.

The Christmas rush will make in- roads upon the vitality of the most robust person, and yet, at its worst, the strenuous holiday selling season will not be too much for you if you practice what. for lack of better ex- pression, we may term "restful sell ing"
 It is generally agreed in these days that the sensations of the body, one of which is fatigue, are largely controlled by the mind. If one dwells upon the thought of "how tired I feel," and mentally churns it over, everything one does will become a painful effort. Thus little things will irritate you and worry you in your work, which, or. dinarily, you would face with cheerful equanimity. The more irritated and worried you become, the more tired you will feel. Therefore, it would seem logical that your work will prove less tiring if you would firmly resolve to allow nothing to irritate you, to keep smiling all the time.
 The one and only way to keep things from getting on your nerves," men, tally, and thus physically, is to keep a happy and cheerful mind. Smile upon impatient customers and make them be reasonable by sheer force of your cheer. ful disposition.
 It may seem to you that our theory is difficult to practice. But we believe implicitly that every worker can make the Christmas rush less tiring by using an effort of will to keep cheerful, thus nipping all thoughts of anger in the bud, before they blossom into a chronic grouch. If you do this you will stand the Christmas strain with ease. Any way, try it, for at least it will cost you nothing.

NEW RAVENS BIG BUSINESS.

The facilities of the New Haven road and Central New England road are ,overtaxed by the volume of business, but notwithstanding that fact the ratio of revenue to expense compares favora. bly, with that of many other reads, ac cording to a report issued today by the companies.
 The report covers the first four months ending October 3l of the fiscal year. It says that the two roads, which are readily all one for commer. cial and operating purposes, had a total operating revenue for the four months of $50, 239, 05S, and total operating ex- penses of $l9,22O, ,939. The net in- come after deductions of taxes, interest, etc., was $3, 5S5, 232.
 "The' tendency and charges against income to increase rapidly, due to higher wages and prices fer all kinds of material is shown very clearly in the reports for September and October. The increase in expenses and charges seems to be greater in those districts where there is intense manufacturing activity"

INCREASING USE OF ALUMINIUM.

Metallic aluminium now competes strongly with other sheet metals and with wood in the manufacture of auto. mobile bodies, according to reports by the United States Geological Survey, Department ot the Interior. This posi-. iton in the market has been attained through improvement i'll foundry methods for casting metallic aluminium and increase in knowledge of suitable alloys. Large sections of aluminium castings are now used in making tour ing cars and the inclosed bodies of cer- tain other motor cars, use which was not practicable ten years ago. Cast aluminium is also used for making auto- mobile dashes. Bodies made of it are lighter than those made of other sheet metal and have a rigid surface that will not dent easily when handled. They are also safer in case of accident The aluminium surface retains paint we'll, and the increased rigidity makes the car more durable.

NATIONAL FOREST ELIMIN ALTON

AS result of recommendations of the Secretary of Agriculture, based upon approved classification reports submitted by the Forest Service, 19, $40 acres of land have been eliminated from the Routt National Forest in northwestern Colorado by presidential proclamation. This action is in accor- dance with the policy of putting all lands in the National Forests to the use to which they are best suited. The area in question is located in what is known as Ham's Creek Basin, or Elk River Park, about 25 miles north of the town of Steamboat Springs, and con- sists chiefly of grassland with small amount of scattered woodland.
 The greater portion of the soil itself is more or less adapted to cultivation, but on account of the high elevation and unfavorable climatic conditions, it is believed that the area has only a low value for practical agriculture.

SEND CARS SOUTH AND WEST.

To afford quick relief to the railroads which are suffering most severely from car shortage the American Railway Association undertook Friday to force a large number of box cars from other sections of the country to the south and west. Announcement was made in New York that instructions had been issued to virtually all railroads by the conference committee on car efficiency of the association directing them to turn over to their southern and western connections more box cars than were received in return. This applies to both loaded and empty cars.
 Under these directions, it was an nounced, New England railroads which have on their lines more cars than they own, must turn over to their southern and western connections 30 per cent more cars than they receive from those lines.
