THE PRICE OF BREAD.

Bakers the country over are raising the
price of bread, in some places as high as
25 per cent, not because of the present
price OF flour, but because of the price it
may reach, if something happens or. if
something doesn't happen to prevent some
thing happening. This is capitalizing.

SCHOOL FOR MOTHERS.

An important step towards race better
ment has been made in Los Angeles with
the establishment of a school for mothers
and prospective mothers Eugenics, sani-
tation, etc, are the subjects of the study
course; babies are examined and lectures
are given twice a week; every problem of
child life up to six years of age is discussed,
Strange that there are not more such
schoolsl Strange that the people who could
not be expected to raise chickens without
study, should be expected to raise children
by intuition.
OF course it can be done-because it has
been done, though we do not know at what
a cost. But how much easier it would be
for motherhood to work its miracles if
schools like this were universal and the
problem of life and death and right-living
were considered as seriously as bookkeep-
ing.

THE STATE CLEANING UP.

Pensacola's cleanup week has been fol-
lowed BY such beneficial results that our
people will be eager to endorse the State
wide Cleanup week of Florida, planned by
the Federation of Womens' Clubs.
From. Monday, October 9, to Saturday,
the 14th, is the time when every city and
town and hamlet and crossroads settlement
IS to gather UP the tin cans and trash and
bury or destroy the same.
We endorse the great enterprise strong
ly; and urge everyone to turn out with
broom and spade and ash cart and rake from
early morn to dewy eve every day from
October to IA We make our own the
words of the State Board of Health, describ-
ing the benefits to be attained
But cleanup week means more than popular
effort to trash from the streets and alleys
For after all loose dirt that is carried and scat
tered by every wind that blows, however disagree
able it may be, is not the most serious menace
health that is TO be found in every city, whether
in Florida or in other states It is the things mat
do the real harm. And in the thorough cleansing
that the women win probably insist on next week
viii be the filling up or draining of water
holes the breeding places for mosquitoes, the
nlending of broken that don't do their duty,
the screening of heretofore unscreened earth closets
which breed aies and death. It viii mean the
removal or the repairing Of unsanitary home sur
roundings which increase the sick rate
Possibly it will secure what most city councils
refuse to enforce by ordinance-the careful screen
ing of refuse from livery and other stables, which
left uncovered releases its myriads of manure bred
flies the carriers of several highly fatal diseases.
Many, perhaps most, of the unsanitary neigh
borhood nuisances maintained their
premises by individual home keepers. If the evil
results could be confined to these householders,
the punishment would be kept and inflicted where
it belongs, but unfortunately these results
carried to the unoffending neighbors.
We have state and city great in worldly
goods already; let us put them next to godli
ness by cleaning up.

WHY SUGAR IS GOOD FOR THE
 MUSCLE.

Sugar is a good food for the muscles This was determined recently by ex- periments made at the instance of the war office at Berlin.
 It is a fact we'll known to soldiers that in difficult campaigns an increas- ed desire is felt for sweets and sweet ened foods, and many who never tonch such things at home will eat large quantities of them, when obtain able. on the battlefield. Whether the sugar affords real benefit to the sol dier was the subject of the German investigation; that is. did the con- sumption of sugar render the tired muscles capable of renewed exert ion?
 To answer the question conclusively the subject of the experiment was not allowed to know that test was being made. One day a sweet liquid con taining thirty grams of sugar was ad- ministered; on the next a similar liq- uid, sweetened by saccharin to rend- CT it indistinguishable from the other as far as taste was concerned, took the place of the sugar. The result was a complete triumph for the su- gar. It was found that a greater amount of work could be accomplish ed on the days when the sugar was given than on those when the sacharin took it's place. This serves, as far as it goes, to prove that sugar is food in a true sense, and that it is in par t;cular food for the muscles.

Materials Needed.

In the cleaning method recommend d by the department the necessary materials are a graniteware cooking utensil deep enough to allow the silve: ware to be covered by the solution; clean piece of aluminium or zinc. pre- ferably the former; and baking or washing soda. The solution, consist ing of a teaspoonful of baking or wash. ing soda and a like amount of table salt 10 each quart of water, is brought to boil in a glaniteware or enamel ed utensil A sheet of aluminium or clean zinc is dropped in. The tarnish- ed silverware is then immersed in ha solution so that it is in contact with the sheet of aluminium or zinc. The tarnish should disappear in a few seconds. The silver object should then be removed from the solution, rinsed. and dried with a soft cloth.
 Aluminium is much more satisfact ory than zinc for use in this cleaning lroceSS, since It does not become coat ed with a layer of carbonates which would interfere with the chemical re- action Zinc does form carbonates and, if used, must be cleaned frequently in diluted hydrochloric acid.
 Gives Satiny Finish.
 Utensils which would later be used in cooking operations should never be employed in cleaning silverware by the electrolytic method. If very large pieces of silver are to be cleaned and a container is required larger than can be placed conveniently on the stove, the hot solution may be poured into such vessel and the silver object

SCHOOL BOND SUBSCRIBERS.
(Juneau Dfspatch.)

The city clerk opened up a subscrip- tion list yesterday morning, for the first time, pursuant to authorization from the city council, to ascertain how many citizens of this community de. sired to take some of the school bonds, a S75000 issue of which will be made at an early date for the erection Of the public school in the city, and in an hour or two a number of subscrib- CTS registered their names. They were A. A. Squires, $4,O0O; Ike O'Meara, $4,OOO; Henry Olson, $500; Mrs. John Rustgard, $250; Mir. and Mrs. George Miller; $10,000, and E. NJ. Keely, $3,- coo.
 The entire issue will be taken up by local persons beyond any question of doubt. As names are registered on the list they will be recorded and the bonds issued in regular order as the names appear. When the full amount Of the issue, $75,00O, has been sub scribed, the bonds will issue. Pre- cedence will be given to those whose names appear on the list. Should any of this set of subscribers decline to take their bonds, then the additional subscribers will be given chance, in regular order.

then immersed. The method is most effective, however. when the solution boils during the cleaning process.
 The electrolytic method gives the cleaned silverware a satiny finish after several cleanings. If a furnishing usr face is desired the silver must iron tune to time be polished lightly with some abrasive polishing material such as powdered whiting.

UNCLE SAM PLAYS
 EXPERT IN HOME
GOVERNMENT SPECIALISTS TELL. HOUSEWIVES HOW TO CLEANSE
 SILVERWARE.

Government specialists in home eco nomics after several months study of how to clean tarnished silverware. lave issued through the department of agriculture a special bulletin of vital interest to millions of American house wives. The procedure recommended is so simple that it may be followed sue cessfully in practically every home.
 The easy cleaning method is simply boiling the silver in soda and salt solution in contact with a clean piece of aluminium or zinc.
 The tarnish on silver is not due to txidation, but is dependent entirely upon the action of sulphur, the bullet in states. In most cases the source of the sulphur, causing tarnish is rub cer. wool, foods like eggs, and the sul phur in the air due to burning illumin- ating gas and coal.
 This tarnish of silver sulphide is slightly soluble in the hot solution em- ployed It is broken down chemically and its silver content redeposited on .he ware when the proper electrical conditions prevail. The presence O. both the silver and the aluminium or zinc in the hot solution provides the necessary electrical conditions. Under this method, therefore. practically all the silver in the tarnish is returned to the object being cleaned When silver poiishes are used, on the other hand. all the silver in combination in the t,,,;-bod ;e raDooyod
