WASHING 4 DECANTER.

One oi the puzzles which house wives must solve is how to clean decanters. This seems to be as difficult as the Sphinx riddle for it iS almost impossible to get a brush fine enough to squeeze through the neck of a decanter, and even if you are able to wash it. how can you dry the bottle? Some house wives in the old days used shot to clean out the glass, but this Is apt to cause lead poisoning.
 The best way Is to try soapy wa ter and fine sand, This should be shaken in the decanter until the glass becomes quite clean. Then fl should be washed out in several fresh waters and finally in alcohol. which will dry by itself. leaving the glass polished and clean.

NO CASH FOR CLERK HIRE
AHEAD OF CREDENTIALS S
Ruling by Controller of Treasury
Affects Members-E1ect
Of Congress.

There is no statutory power for the
appointment or employment of clerks
by members-elect of Congress prior to
the fling of their credentials. Conse-
quently no payment can lawfully be
made on account of their clerk hire for
any time prior to the fling of creden-
tia1s.
This is a ruling Of the controller of
the Treasury arising through a refer
ence from South Trmble, clerk of the
House of Representatives. 1t involves
an Interpretation of the appropriation
act of March last, providing for clerk
hire for members and delegates and
resident commissioners and those elect
ed to such positions who have filed
their credentials in due form.
Preceding laws made no provision
for payment to clerks of elected mem
bers and delegates. 1t was held that
such payments could not be made. The
new law extends the privilege, and this
ruling by Controller w. w. Warwick
defines its applicat ton.
