How GalIienI Gut Infant Mortality.

When the recently deceased General Galheni became governor general of Madagascar in the early niueties, he was appalled, at the unsanitary con dition and Che high death rate, Though q soldier and not physician, he set about to remedy these conditions.
 He obtained the huppieSt results in his campaign against infant mortality. He had native women trained as mtd- wives and he established and popular lzed maternity hospitals. He regulated marriages and restricted divorce He exempted the fathers of five children from taxation and he taxed bachelors instead.
 These and many other works pro duced such a change that the French Academy of Medicine awarded him q gold medal. most exceptional dis uuetion for one who was not doctor.

GREEK POSITION IS
 CRAVE FUR ENTENTE
RESERViSTS ARE BEING ENROLL ED AND SECRETLY ARMED
 NEWSPAPERS HINT WAR.
FOOD SITUATION SERIOUS
Arrests of Persons Accused of Sedl' ton Have Been ReneWed-Ameri- can Citizen Arrested as ReVoiu'
 tionist and Abused By Greeks

I.ondon.-News dispatches from Athens depict the situation there as threatening for the entente and assert that power is passing into the hands of the reservists who are expected out again as on December l. Most of these dispatches have arrived by way of Syria and are more than week old, but the Morning Posts cor respondent, claims that the position of the Greek capital then was such as to indicate that the Athens government is mediating some desperate stroke.
 The reservists are being secretly en- rolled The correspondent reports, while measures regarding artillery and munitions are being extensively taken.
 The newspapers. which are not ex- e qsiyely contorelled by the govern ment, more than hint at war and de mand that Greece mobilize, says the correspondent.
 A dispatch to the Times from Pi- raeus, says t+at the real key to the situation in Greece is the military po- sition in Macedonia. Accsrding to this story, King Constantine has re- ceived discouragng news from beyond Monastir to the effect that Field Mar shal yon Mackensen considered it inn possible to move on Monastir before another two months at the earliest. The Greek government realizes, there fore, says the dispatch, that if it broke with the entente it would have to sup port the struggle alone.
 The Greek council of ministers has approved restriction of the daily ra- tions and the appointment of food dictator, says an Exchange Telegraph Company dispatch from Athens.
 Arrests of persons accused of sedi- tion which had ceased for several days have been begun again, the dispatch adds
 News dispatches from Athens quote passages from note presented to the Greek government by the American nan ster detailing the case of an Amer ican citizen, Basil SafIis, who was ar rested as a revolutionary by Greek soldiers The soldiess are said to have ignored Saflis' American passports and to have taken 3535 francs from his pocket, although after examination he was liberated

TO CLEAN SILVER
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS TELL OF
 BEST METHODS.
Directions for Preparing 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 electr0yuc method of cleaning and has published the results of their work in United States Department of Agriculture Bui- etin 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
 An enamel or aghteware dish should be partly filled with 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 alumi- nun or clean zinc should then be dropped into the dish and tarnished silver placed in contact with the metal. It is best that the silver be entirely covered with the cleaning solution and that the solution remain at the boiling temperature. AS soon as the tarnish has been removed the silver should be removed, rinsed in clean water. and wiped with soft cloth. Zine may be used in place of aluminium, but it be comes corroded and inactive in much shorter time."
 The electrolytlc method cleans plated or sterling silyerware without loss of metal, giving, however, d satin finish rather than a furnished appearance, and has the additional advantages of being both clean and labor-saying.- Clara Gliddcn, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins. Colo.
