Don't be Afraid TO Take a Chance

There is one thing we all admire the
"Jack of all trades" for, and that is his
nerve to jump from one thing to an
other-to make a change.
Those men who have life jobs con-
slider their jobs a Through ticket to
destination" which must not be inter
rupted by any changes. The trouble is
they are travelling at a snail's pace,
they are like human freight cars which
are subject to freight congestion at
every junction in life.
If you think you are licked, you're
licked, explains why men fear to make
a break. They think they will not be
successful and so they stand by the old
job at the old pension, never getting
anywhere unless-unless they're push
ed. Afterwards they turn around and
thank the Lord they got fired, it was
the best thing that could have hap
pened, etc., etc. Naturally, it was ma
ture's way of forcing improvement
upon them.
Napoleon was aJack-of.all-trades and
finally a master of one. He quit the
army once when he vas penniless and
but a junior officer because he did not
like the way things were being done.
Alexander Hamilton, when secretary
to Washington, quit his job because he
was peeved over some trivial matter.
No amount of inducements could make
him go back.
Mark Twain offers as fine an exam.
pie of the diversity of occupations, OF
the beginning and the end of a brilliant
man.
Darwin began by studying theology
didn't like it and took up medicine and
quit that for biology. He was only
working ont his own future by finding
himself.
Many men would make good In the
Insurance business If they would sum-
mon enough courage to try. 1t is true
it requires nerve for a married man
with a family to make a change from a
certain salary to an uncertain COM
mission, but that is only a mental diff
ficulty.
Some OF the greatest Insurance sales
men are men who were up against 1t
and grasped at a "debit" as adrowning
man would at a straw. There was no
mental difficulty there, the fact was
they had to sell it and they sold it.
AS soon as they found themselves
selling Insurance they gained confd-
ence in themselves and their ability,
and confident men are in demand every
where.
Failure in life comes from not max
ing a change oftener than from chang
ing.
The man who makes a success III
life is the man who fears God but is
not afraid of his job. He a always
quit If he dosen't like it.-FTom Can

New slouses.

The shops are full of new blouses,
and the woman who needs more clothes
to see her safely out of the coming be
tween seasons a do NJ better than
to invest in some of these blouses.
They are really very attractive, and
their prices vary so that every pocket
book can be satisfied.
One noticeable feature of many of
the new blouses is the tucked front.
This usually appears on the more con-
ventional shirt waist type of blouse,
for sports or street wear. The tucked
front is of the same material in this
case as the blouse. For instance, a new
sport shirt waist of white linen shows
a tucked front, edged with a narrow
plated frill of linen. The same sort
of friIl edges collars and cuffs.

With Paint Brush

Old wicker furniture may be stained
some attractive color or enameled white
and the cushions covered with cretonne
to match the curtains.
In painting or staining furniture of
any kind the greatest care must be
taken to have it absolutely dry, and
amateur work of this sort should be
done on a dry day. If this simple pre-
caution is not taken the stain does not
seem to ever dry properly, but will al
ways rub off. A coat of pure alcohol
shellac will cure the trouble. But why
not use an ounce of prevention?

HOW TO REMOVE
SPECKS IN EYES
Expert Advice About Getting For
'eign Substances Out of the Most
Sensitive Part of Us Without
Calling a Doctor or lnjuring the
Parts Affected.

TT is exceedingly painful to have
even the tiniest speck of foreign
matter lodge In ones eye. for an al
most invisible speck can make one
thoroughly uncomfortable. Besides
this, there Is danger that a tiny cinder,
a coarse grain of sand or a sharp, hard
particle may be the mean of scratch
ing the delicate surface and causing
permanent injury.
The impulse to rub the eye should be
resisted. 1t only increases the irrita-
ton. Above all things, a soiled hand
kerchief or cloth or dirty fingers should
not be used to try to remove the OBJ
struction.
Sometimes a black speck can be seen,
and an overenthusiastic friend will Of
fer to remove 1t by means of a needle,
pin or ever a knife blade. Never allow
anything like this, In the hands of al
inexperienced person, to come near the
eyeball, as an involuntary movement
might cause severe injury.
Nature does her best to try to help
out at such a time by causing the tears
to flow, and the tears often wash the
particle to the corner of the eye, where
it can be wiped away. 1t Is when the
offending matter works itself beneath
the upper lid that it is particularly
hard to get out. The lower lid can be
gently drawn away from the eyeball
and specks removed from there with
out a great deal of trouble.
One good way to coax the stray Gin
der from its hiding place beneath the
upper lid is to take hold of the lashes
of the upper. lid and pull the covering
gently away from the eyeball and down
over the lower lid. Hold it there while
you blow that side of the nose vigor-
ously. Then let go and observe re-
suits. Oftentimes the cinder will have
been washed down beneath the lower
lid, from which it can be easily re-
moved.
When the speck is attached to the
upper lid itself the difficulty is a great
er one. In that Ease a small eyestone,
which you IA procure at the drug
store and which should be washed
thoroughly in boiled water, or a couple

been soaked in warm water a few min
utes, may be inserted under the lid
and the eye closed. The continuous
winking motion will cause the faxseed
or eyestOne to mov about, and usual
~ the cinder will attach itself to this
larger body and be removed with it.
If the location of the speck can be
-determined very small strip of per
fectly clean blotting paper a be NOV
ed gently about to entrap the intruder.
Sometimes a magnifying glass will
help greatly In bringing the offending
material Into view, for when a dust
speck is moistened it is almost inyis-
ible.
AS soon as the irritating substance is
removed the eye should be washed out
gently with warm, salty WATERFALL
a teaspoonful of salt to a cupful of wa
ter being plenty-or a solution of boric
acid-one-quarter of a teaspoonful of
boric acid to a cupful of water being
used. The eye should then be closed
and something bound over it to give
the irritation a chance to become al
layed.
If the fragment seems to have cut
the eye or is imbedded in the corner
go to a doctor at once.

How to Make Use of Leftovers
You Really Can't Can.
NO ADULTERATION is HERE.
Experts Tell Us How to Use Feelings.
Apple Cores and Nubby Fruits to
Make Enough "Sour" to Last an En-
tire Year.

VdHg .tIoA4t 9Rat ~ .aSh AZ -
tire Year.
Prepared by University of California;
Vinegar can be made in the household
from many waste fruits that are not
suitable for canning or jelly making.
For example, fruit Feelings, cores, etc.
can be used to advantage. In certain
seasons of the year grapes can be OBJ
tained for a very moderate price and
can be used for vinegar making.
Vinegar from whole fruit:
Crush the fruit thoroughly and heat
it almost to boiling. Press it out
through a jelly bag or cloth while the
fruit is still hot. Allow the juice to
cool overnight in a quiet place. On the
following day add a cake of compressed
yeast to each three gallons of juice. One
yeast cake will be enoush1or three gal
Ions, but will not be too much for
quantities less than three gallons.
Crush the yeast up in the juice SO that
it Is intimately mixed with it. A wood
en- bucket or barrel or a st0neware
crock should be used. Do not use a
kettle that is made of metal to hold the
juice. Allow the juice to ferment. This
will take about ten or twelve hours.
When the fermentation is over add to
each three gallons of the fermented
juice a quart of strong vinegar. Ii less
than three gallons is made add the
vinegar in the same proportion. Leave
the vinegar in an open crock or barrel
covering the container with cheesecloth
to keep out insects. Allow it to stand
until 1t is soul enough to use. III max
ing up a second lot of vinegar after the
first has been made it will be possible
merely to ferment the juice with the
compressed yeast as described above
and then add a quart of the homemade
vinegar instead of vinegar that is
bought at the store. Thus the only
vinegar needed to start the home vine
gar is the first quart of vinegar. Under
no conditions should the vinegar be
added to the juice until the yeast fer
mentation is over. The vinegar will
kill the yeast fermentation and prevent
the making Of vinegar If it is added
before the yeast fermentation is owe
The yeast fermentation is complete
when the liquid no longer gives off bub-
bles of gas and when there is no longer
a taste of sugar.
Vinegar from fruit scraps:
Such scraps as peach Feelings, apple
cores, etc., car be used for making vine
gar. Sugar, however, must be added in
this case. To every cupful of fruit
scraps add about three cupfuls of water
and boil for fifteen or twenty minutes.
Press out the watery juice. To this
juice add about a pint of sugar to the
gallon and dissolve. Allow to cool over
night. Add compressed yeast and pro-
coed as directed for fruit juice vinegar.
The vinegar made in this way will not
be so good as that made from the whole
fruit, but still a very palatable product
can be produced.
Mint, basil. marjoram, tarragon and
%nasturtium leaves added to these vine
CARS, left two or three weeks and then
strained off. add a fine flavor to all
salad dressings.

announces that the directors of the
road has authorized the expenditure Of
eight million dollars for the cleo
trifcation of the two hundred miles
between Seattle and Beverly, on the
Columbia river. Mr.. Earling stated
that the recent demonstration, wit
messed by number OF railroad
executives, on that portion OF his
companys road thru Montana, made it
perfectly plain that under electrifcation
it is possible with electric motors to
handle about double the amount OF
tonnage that can be handled with steam
locomotives on a single track.

Trying to Find Missing Heirs

The endeavor Of the European
nations to locate the relatives Of men
who have fallen in battle while serving
the various foreign legions bears an
interesting comparison to similar efforts
now being undertaken in this country
to trace the relatives or heirs OF men in
the American service who have died,
some of whom have left valuable
property.
The United States Marine Corps
issued bulletin today, containing the
names Of Sergeant Albert Jolly Of
Melbourne, Australia, Corporal Thomas
Brophy Of Dublin. Ireland, and Private
Owen Woods (former address u
known), in further effort to locate
their heirs or next OF kin. These men,
who have been dead over ten years,
left effects Of considerable value, and
numerous inquiries during that period
have failed to locate their rightful heirs.

IMPROVEMENTS AT GREAT
NORTHERN LUMBER MILL
Addition to Mill and New Log Slide
Log Lengths to be Cut by Drag Saw

A dozen men have been employed
this week in tearing out the old log
slide at the Great Northern Lumber
Co.'S mill and putting in a foundation
for an extension at the south end Of
the mill to be used as log landing,
where drag saw will be installed to
cut logs the desired length just before
going into the mill to be reduced to
lumber. One of the latest innovations
in numbering is to bring the tree to the
mill entire and there cut it into such
lengths as may be most profitable.
A new log slide, extending farther
into the log pond, is also under con-
struction. 1t is the intention Of the
present management to adopt the
latest and most improved methods Of
making lumber, There has been some
talk Of the company putting in sash
and door factory but up to this time no
definite announcement has been made.

More Evidence of School Money
Waste

A news item in the Wenatchee
World Of Wednesday states:
MRS. Jennings, at Telma, is a
teacher with no scholars. She con-
tracted last fall to conduct the White
River school at Telma and on the
opening Of school there we're but two
pupils. Later on these moved away
with their parents, but Mrs. Jennings
continues to open the school regularly
each school day, closing it on time,
and receives her warrant for services.
A good law would be one to make
it impossible to open a school any
where in the county with less than six
scholars who could be reasonably ex-
pected to attend regularly. The Tel
ma school will cost the taxpayers at
least one hundred dollars per month
without benefitting anyone but the
teacher, the clerk. some wood haulers
and a janitor. When will taxpayers
have the courage to cry out aloud at
this waste Of money

when some one interfered and took
him off. The trouble grew out Of the
bestowal OF the favor OF Mrs. Ida Davis,
or rather a change Of heart on the part
of the lady. Mr.. Herring, who has

Passing of the W. S. & |. Go.

Mr.. o. P. Moore, Of Spokane, spent
several days here this week super
intending the removal Of the last oil
the Washington Steel and Iron Co.'s
buildings and machinery. He says the
company is building a plant at Sedro
Woolley, Wash. where an effort is to
be made to smelt iron. The boiler
and the machinery used in the Leaven-
worth plant has been sold because it is
not contemplated to use steam, for
which electricity will be substituted in
the new plant. The buildings Of the
Leavenworth plant have been
practically demolished.
