WANT LIVING COST PRoBED.

Baltimore.-The A. F. of L. con-
vention has declared in favor of the
appointment Of federal commission
to investigate the high cost of living
and recommend to congress measures
designed to remedy this situation and
to prevent its recurrence The reso-
luton was submitted by Secretary
Green Of the United Mine Workers
Of America. It is declared that "the
price Of all necessaries of life have
increased and are continuing to in
crease so rapidly as to constitute a
menace to the standard of living of
the American wage Garner and that
.the enormous profits amassed by
grain spectators, meat packers, mine
owners many manufacturers. and BY
iobbers and dealers in food and other
commodities, as well as BY the rail-
roads. express companies and other
public service corporations, indicate
that these prices are to a large extent
artificial and unjustihable."

Worth Knowing

China Cement.-Make a thick sOlu-
ton of gum arabic by dissolving two
tablespoonfuls of 1t in hot water Into
this stir plaster of paris until the mix
ture is the consistency of cruel. Apply
to the edge of the china with a fine
brush. Allow the china to stand three
days before using.
Sewing Hht.-W When stitching pock-
cts on aprons, skirts, etc, you win find
that they will not rip off as easily II
the stitching is begun about half an
inch from the top, stitch upward, then
turn downward. When you come to
the other side stitch downward the
same distance as you stitched upward
on the first side.
Feather Advice.-Never sun feather
beds or feather pillows Air them on
windy day in cool place. The sun
draws the oil, and the feathers will
have a rancid smell If they remain In
the sun.
Mildew Remedy.-An excellent rem
edy for mildew is to saturate an ar
ticle with kerosene. Roll it up and let
it stand for twenty-four hours and
then wash in very hot soapsuds.
Fish Odor.-To remove fish odor
from silver knives and forks or from
cooking utensils let stand in cold wa
ter before washing

Simple Tests Telling
Quality Of Textiles

There are a great many tests that
may be used to determine the genuine
ness and value Of materials, but only a
few that are practicable for the home.
If the buyer is not absolutely sure
that the material In question Is as rep
resented it Is best to ask for a small
sample and apply some Of the home
tests before making the purchase.
For instance, to ascertain II a mate
rial is all linen and not mixed with cot
ton, apply a drop of water. The mois-
ture spreads rapidly on linen. but win
remain unabsorbed on cotton for some
time However, this is not always q
safe test, as cotton and linen are often
heavily sized with dressing which pre-
vents the water from being absorbed.
Another test for cotton and linen is
drop Of glycerine Linen will become
transparent but cotton will not be af-
fected. Crushing ia the hands win
show the difference between cotton and
linen, as linen wrinkles more than cot
ton. Sizing may be discovered by rub.
bling the materials between the hands
to see If the dressing will come out.
Washing also win remove the dress
Ing and reveal the true nature Of the
material.
Cotton and wool mixtures when mois-
tened wrinkle more than pure wool ma
terials.
In examining materials It is well to
know that cotton fibers are short with
fuzzy ends, while linen fbers are long
and have even ends. Wool fibers are
short, kinky and stiff. silk flbers are
long, straight and lustrous.
The nature Of the material may also
be ascertained by burning small sam
pie. Cotton burns quickly with fame.
Linen burns In the same way, but does
not catch so readily as it has less oil
in the fiber and less air In the woven
cloth. Wool burns slowly, giving of
an odor like burnt feathers and leav-
ing a gummy residue. Silk burns more
slowly than wool and with less odor
and leaves crisp ash.
