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 Thorouahness.

For the benefit of those who have
the care of silver, the office of home
economics at Washington has made
thorough study of the electrolytic
method of cleaning and has published
the results of their work in United
States Department of Agriculture Bul-
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 one 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 he
dropped into the dish and furnished
silver placed in contact with the metal.
1t is best that the silver he entirely
covered with the cleaning solution and
that the solution remain ut the boiling
temperature. AS soon as the tarnisl
has been removed the silver should be
removed, rinsed In clean water, and
wiped with soft cloth. Zinc may ne
used in place of aluminium. but 1t be-
comes corroded and inactive In 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 labor-saving.-

5000 MORE ACRES PLANTED IN
WOOD COUNTY THIS YEAR

With $50 of the county heard from,
the excess over last year in the acre
age planted in wheat, rye, oats, spring
barley, corn, ensilage corn, and po-
tatoes has reached 2126. With pro-
portional increases in theremalning
returns, Wood county will show an ad-
vance over last year Of more than
5000 acres, and will probably have
100000 acres in crops. While this
maintains Wood county's place among
the first agricultural counties of the
state, it is still nearly 10000 below
the 1915 mark OF 189,79S acres.

MAKE UNGRoUND WHEAT BREAD
Said to Have Higher Food Value Than
Ordinary Kind.

The Italians are credited with hav.
ing invented method of making
bread direct from wheat without
grinding it. After being we'll washed
the wheat is soaked in warm water
for three days, by which time it has
become quite soft. The grain can then
be kneaded in the ordinary way
made into loaves and baked after be
ing allowed to "rise." Bread made
in this way has a much higher food
value than the ordinary article, as
even the husk has useful dietetit
qualities.
The wheat should be of good
quality for this purpose, and, of course
should be free from dirt, seeds OIL
other species of grain. Hence, althc
no grinding is needed. the processes
which precede this operation must be
carried out.
In view of the shortage Of labor
and fuel this process of making
bread should be particularly worthy
of adoption at the present time.

BOULEVARD IN DESERT
Plank Roadway Laid in Sand in
Ari1ona

Plank Roadway Laid in Sand In
Arizona.
Between the imperial irrigation dis
trict and Yuma, Ariz., the sand is so
fine and dry that when a handful is
picked up it trickles out of the closed
fist like the grains in an hour glass.
Imagine, then. the difficulty of travel
ing over this country in a heavy
vehicle, and especially in an auto.
mobile. But the significant fact Is
that the state highway runs through
fifty miles Of such sand.
Until the California highway com.
mission found way to combat the
sand it was risky for an automobile
to travel over this dangerous route.
Six miles Of portable plank roadway
have now been constructed through
the worst sections of this desert, says
the Popular Science Monthly.
This roadway, eight feet wide, with
double width turnouts every 1000
feet, consists of planks spiked to
stringers.

Nv. The Enticement of Evil.
I'm the course of Sir Guyon's quest
of a witch. as told in the book called
THE Faerie Queen" he came to
beautiful ivory palace. A young man
at the gate offered him wine, but he
refused. AS he passed through the
garden beautiful lady urged him to
take some wine, but again he refused.
Had he taken the wine it would have
been the ruin of him and his guest.
At last he captured the wicked witch,
who had turned SO many men into
beasts, for the witch was Sin; she
had been the ruin of all who listened
to her. BY touching the beasts with
his staff the palmer, who had accom-
panied Sir Guyon, turned them back
into men again.
''Some of the men looked angry
when they saw the witch prisoner,
and some were full of shame for their
past conduct, but all were glad to be
delivered. All, indeed. except one.
His name was Grille, and he had been
changed into pig. He had been a
pig so long that he liked it, and said !:
why did you not leave me alone?
l wish to be a pig. 1t is far better
to be a pig than a man. There are
plenty of roots and acorns, and nice
mud to roll in. What more do /
want
"Sir Guyon in his astonishment
over the completeness of the ruin into
which this man had fallen through
his companionship with Sin, ex-
claimed:
See the mind of beastly man,
That hath so soon forgot the excell-
ence
OF his creation, when his life began,
That now he chooseth with vile diff
| ference
To be beast, and lack intelligence.
| Then said the palmer, Let Grille
be Grille, and have his hoggish mind,
as he touched him with his staff and
changed him into a pig once more"

l. A King Without Faith
1 once attended the annual memor-
ial service of a certain fraternal order
and listened to the address given by
one of their officers. He called atten-
tion to their fraternal spirit, and said
among other things that they respect
ed all creeds and were bound by none
Their orator really said n little too
much. 1t is we'll to have an apprecia-
tiOn of the fidelity and faith of others
but we must also have some faith and
fidelity of our own.
In this lesson Ahaz is called the
faithless king. Yet he was a man
who sacrificed and burnt incense in
the high places and on the hills and
under every green tree!" 1t is moi
the number of gods to which a man
gives a kindly interest which really
determines his religious character. II
is really to the one God, to whom ht
gives his life devotedly, which deter,
mines his faith.
ii. Concessions.
When Ahaz was attacked he tool

American Girls Good Work.

Miss Winifred Holt of New York
city, founder of the New York Asso-
citation for the Blind. who has been in
England and France almost continu-
ously since the outbreak of the war,
and has done such notable work for
the blind soldiers there, is in the
United States on a short visit in the
interest of her work. Already more
than 600 soldiers blinded in the war.
many of them minus an arm or a leg
as well-have been cared for, nursed
back to health and courage and trans
ferred into industrious, self-support-
ing and hopeful men again at the in
stitution in Paris, called the Light
house, conducted by Miss Holt for the
relief of the war-blind. The aim of
the work is TO re-educate the men, with
the handicap of blindness upon them,
in some line of work they may be
able t o do in spite of it. During her
s~ojourn in America, the work of the
Lighthouse is in the hands of Miss
Esther Cleveland, daughter of the late
president, and of Miss Bernardette
Grant, granddaughter of President
Grant. who have been for many months
Miss Hollis most valued helpers.
