TO clean SILVER
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS TELL OF
BEST METHODS.
Directions for Preparing a Cleansing
Material That Has Much Virtue
Must Be Applied With Care
and Th%oroughness.

For the benefit of those who have
the care of silver, the Office of home
economics at Washington has made
a thorough study of the electrolytic
method of cleaning and has published
the results of their work In United
States Department Of Agriculture Bull
letin No. 449.
After discussing several types of
commercial cleaners and giving the re-
suits of various analyses, they suggest
the following method as being cheap
and satisfactory:
IAN enamel or agateware dish
should be partly filled with a cleaning
solution of n teaspoonful of either
washing or baking soda and one tea
spoonful of common table salt to each
quart of water and placed directly
on the stove to boil. A sheet of alumni
mum or clean zinc should then be
dropped into the dish and furnished
silver placed In contact with the metal.
1t is best that the silver be entirely
covered with the cleaning solution and
that the solution remain a. the boiling
temperature. AS soon as the tarnish
has been removed the silver should be
removed, rinsed in clean water. and
wiped with u soft cloth. Zinc may be
used in place of aluminium. but 1t be-
corroded and inactive ia a much
shorter time"
The electrOlytic method cleans plated
or sterling silverware without loss Of
metal, giving, however. a satin finish
rather than a FURNISHED appearance,
and has the additional advantages of
being both clean and iabor-saving.-

Interesting and cozy House.

n wall under the windows. On the
opposite side of the fireplace is q
small bookcase. This nook will either
serve as a coy, secluded corner or it
can be considered as q part of the
large living room.
The living room is very attractive
and is well lighted SO as to be bright
and cheerful.
The basement is a very important
part of this design. In a house as
large as this one, a good basement is
necessary for several reasons. In the
first place, 1t is desirable 10 have an
efficient and satisfactory heating plant;
and this cannot be accomplished un-
less there Is plenty or head The
basement under this house should also
be large enough so that it can be used
for various purposes. A laundry
should be built and careful attention
to its design with regard to conven-
fences will be time well spent. In some
corner, as far from the heating plant
as possible, n storeroom should be pro.
vided for fruits and vegetables. A
small workshop could also be provided
in some part of the basement that is
not being otherwise used.
The basement Is reached by stairs
that open into the back hall on the
first floor. All the rooms on the first
floor, with the exception of the dining
room, car be reached through this hail.
A back hall such as this has q marked
effect In preserving the privacy of
each Of the rooms, as IL is not neces-
sary to go through other rooms to
reach any n room.
One bedroom is provided on this
floor and also a bathroom. The den
or sewing room can also be pressed
into service as a bedroom If the 0c-
casion demands. This will hardly be
necessary, as there are four more bed
rooms On the second floor. Another
bathroom Is also located on the second
floor.
On the opposite side Of the house
from the bedroom, on the first floor, is
the dining room and the kitchen. The
dining room Is connected to the living
room by double swinging doors. a
large convenient buffet is built against
n wall of the dining room opposite
the windows. There are three fairly
wide windows along the wall and also
a smaller n that opens to the front
porch. There is also another small
window opposite this.

TO her duty to keep the house in order

War Correspondents are

Although up to the present only
one prominent newspaper correspond
emit has lost his life on the western
front, a number have had hairbreadth
escapes. Taking into consideration
the vast magnitude of the war. the
mortality among the correspondents
has been remarkably low.
In former campaigns it was quite
a common occurrence for some scribe
of the battlefield to meet with some
dreadful fate One of the most not
able instances is that of the CORE
