CARE OF REFRIGERAToR.

Take everything out of the icebox and the shelves also. Run boiling water down the pipes to cleanse them thor oughly, and you may put a bit of washing soda in the hot water if you wish. For the odor. if this is not then removed, burn Juniper berries in it. This is said to freshen the refrigera tor and remove odors. Scrub the shelves and leave the door open until 1t has beg, wall aired. then when the ice is about the iceboV in every way. I know of nothing better than this. unless you wish to- have it reprinted and enam- eied inside; the Varnish fc.. the out side would do instead of paint. but enamel for the inside

HELPING FRANCE.

For some time there has been a tre- mendous amount Of war material aa- cumu1ating in this country for France with the result that there is now m the piers of Atlantic ports over a mil lion tons of supplies awaiting ship nlent 10 that country France Is in need of these goods. They are want ed for the conduct of the war and for the contin uation of the same success- full military operations which that country has been carrying on for the past three years. But France lacks ships. Do what it will it has not been able to secure sufi1ient vessels to move these goods, even though it has been willing to take most anything that will hea L whe ther it was a steam CT a sailing craft.
 France is therefore appealing to this country for needed assistance. It asks that we turn some of the yes sells which we control over to it's uss for the Gansporta lion of these goods befrrA conditions got so bad that they will be of much less value than they will be now. The United States lacks ships. It is doing it's utmost to se- cure shipping sufficient to carry SUD- plies for the army which it has abroad and for those which 1t is going to send. but it must needs consider whether it Is, preferable to devete all it's efforts to piling up supplies fin France in anticipation of future needs or whether it is wise to use some of the ships for the helping out of France and relieving some Of its present needs. This is a problem which apparently needs greater amount of attention than. it is receiv- ing. We must distribute OUT aid to the best advantage and certainly helping France would be helping cur selves

A SAFETY KNIFE BOARD.

Take two pieces of wood six inches long two inches broad and one inch thick. Lay them side by side and tack a piece of felt or cloth over them so that they will open and shut like a book. Damp the felt and sprinkle it thickly with powdered bath brick mix ed with emery powder or knife polish. To clean the knives. place the blades on the right side, then fold the other side over it. and. holding the cleaner drmly with the left hand, run the blade up and down between the boards. Both sides of the bla6es are thus cleaned at the same time and with pra ctically no risk of cut fingers. A good lining could be made of buff leather, spread with a paste made of one part of emery pow der and three parts of crocus dust, mixed with a little sweet oil.

REMOVE THE BIG TROUBLE
 MAKER.

Trouble has been growing in Ger many for a long time. There, has been dissatisfaction among the people over the way in which certain matters have been going. There have been clements in the reichstag which have been demanding changes and seeking reforms. The respohse of the govern ment has been slow and this has only served to increase .he feeling.
 The recent readJustments in the cabinet have not brought about any greater unity than existed before but to add to the .mixup- there now comics the resignation of Vice Admiral von Capelle. the head of the German navy, who succeeded von. Tirpitz. Von Ca belle has closely followed the methods 8 of his predecessor. He has carried on the submarine activity in all is s-igh:fulness and has unquestiona biy obtained all the results that were pes :'-;, including the failure to meas f'Ta u2 to the success that was an- -i~ip.ted and in fact the success that ';7s been held up to the German peo- pie as the mean< of winning the war for. Germany. There have bcen mis- givings on the part of the German people about the E-boat accomplish ments but the mutiny In the navy has apparently caused vcn Cape1le to throw up his hands.
 At the same time there is a demand for the replacement of Dr. Michaelis as chancellor. whose se,ection was never popular. This of course shows the dissatisfaction that exists at Ber- lin and the clamor for q schange, but if the people are desirousF of getting tn the roct of the matter and they should make a thorough housecieaninr while they are about it. they should insist upon the removal of the big troublemaker, the kaiser.

CONVENIENT CLOSET.

Some form of house closet devoted tc keeping brooms. buckets and all cleaning utensils is a great conven- fence. Place row of right angle6 cup hooks at intervals Of four inches into a wooden strip placed about six feet from the floor. Then insert strong screw eye (sucf. as used on pictures) into the tip of the handle of each broom so that it can be hung easily on the hook. each in it's proper place. The floor of such a closet should be about a foot Wide to accommodate scrub buckets, cleaning fluids etc, and it is handy to have a narrow shelf on which may be placed bottles of poisons and other cleaning preparations.

DO YOUR PART.

According to the adyices which are received from Washington the Liberty loan is not moving along as rapidly as it was expected or as it ought to if the total amount is going to be raised in the time fixed. That there will be shown much better results in the clos ing two weeks than has been mani fested in the first two can be antici- pated. The same slowress was shown at the time the first loan was raised but in the closing days there was a response which carried the subserip- lions far beyond the two billion asked for and many who wanted bonds were able to secure them at that time
 There are reasons therefore to an- tfcipate that there will be a big elev- enth hour response, but that does not mean that those who can take the small bonds should not be making their subscriptions early, for i. Is to be remembered that it is popular loan and the desire is that there should be fully ten million subscribers. And arrangements have been made to ac- commodate the small subscribers as we'll as the large. Bonds are to be in denominations of $50 and through the cooperation which the banks of the country are lending to the treasury department it is possible to obtain them on an easy payment plan, it be- Ing thus possible to meet the invest nent. and it is an investment and not gift. out Of current earnings.
 This is a matter in which everyone should manifest the deepest interest. It is a time to stand back of the country, to make your money. fight for liberty and to give the financial back ing to the soldiers and sailors that they have a right to expect. Everyone should do his part and should do 1t early.

IRE USEFUL SHOCK.

The smock is not. as most people who do not wear if suppose. a mere feminine fad: it is something more: it is the coInforta ble working garment Of the gardener. the student and the artist. That it is comfortable needs no proving. and that it is having q tremendous vogue also goes without proving. But like everything else that has a vogue. it's bound to be abused. Silk, satin or any other of the flossy stuffs Is decidedly not the. thing for the workshop. But here's one srlock that is. It is three-quarter length, raglan s1eeved, unbelted. smocked true to type. and-of heavy art canvas. The shocking front and back and on the sleeve ends is rather .e1a borats: then there is bit of oriental embroidery on the rather deep sailor collar just to preserve the feminine air

MT. Editor: see by the paper we are to have "beefless'' days now. heartily endorse these days and would like to know if at the same time it would be too much to ask o1r broth CTS at home to have a "beerless" day and "tobaccoless' day, in addition to the wheatless and beefless days? It would give more tobacco for the men at the front and more money to pro- vide many comforts as possible for them and I don't think there is a man in Norwich but what would be willing to do his best and do it cheer fully as a duty-and then the boys; and girls could have a "candyless' day, thereby doing their bit, and with everyone helping we are sure to win the war. It might. not material ize exactly as we think. but it is bound to help us out of this terrible conflict, which seems so bitterly cruel and, unnecessary. With your son and mine a soldier, it is comforting thought that we have only to bide our time and patience. and trust, keeping love in our hearts-fosteriug good will in every possible way and going glad Ky on our accustomed way the while we. are helping, whether it be going without candy. wheat, or tobacco. But whatever we do we know are helping to win the war and we do 1t gladly and faithfully.

The privilege of reopen .ng the matter was extended to the railroads and it is this which is to be taken advantage of at this time.
