URGE OILINC SHOES
AS WAR ECONOMY
Leather Saving Suggested By
Dept. Of Agriculture.
NO SURPLUS TO Be WASTED
Shoe POlishes Said to Be Often In
furious to Leathers.
NO SURPLUS TO BE WASTED

War demands leather-Ieather for
soldiers shoes, leather for harness,
leather for equipment OF many kinds.
In this country there is no such sur
plus that we can afford to waste any
of it; and it is wasting leather not
to care for and preserve It properly.
In the army and out, we all wear
shoes. II We manage them rightly
they will last longer, we will not need
so many new ones. and there will be
more left for others. The following
suggestions from the Leather and
Paper Laboratory Of the United States
Department OF Agriculture can be
utilized by everyone who walks.
Shoes should be oiled or creased
whenever the leather begins to get
hard or dry. They should be brush
ed thoroughly, and then all the dirt

porary injury to the foot.
To Preserve Harness.
Harness leather. like shoes. can not
be neglected without injury that lea-
sens its durability. II should be
washed and oiled frequently. The
washing should be done in tepid wa
ter, with a neutral soap and q sponge
or stin brush. After rinsing in clean
tepid water. the harness Is hung up
to drain little while before oilinK.
For driving harness neatsfoot or
castor oil Is best. but for heavy har-
ness there may be some tallow in
the oil. The applications should be
light for driving and liberal for
heavy harness. The oil, warm to the
hand, is rubbed thoroughly into the
leather while II IL still wet from the
washing Excess oil which the
leather Is unable to take up should
be removed with . clean, dry cloth.

being taken off with q dry cloth,
While the shoes are still wet and
warm apply the oil or grease with
a swab of wool or flannel. 1t Is best
to have the oil or grease about as
warm as the hand can bear, and II
should be rubbed well into the leath-
er, preferably with the palm. II nee
essary. the oil can be applied to dry
leather, but II penetrates better when
the latter Is wet. After treatment the
shoes should be left to dry in a place
that is warm-not hot.
New Use For Castor OIL
Castor oil is satisfactory for shoes
that are to be polished; for palmer
footgear meats foot, fish oil or oleine
may be substituted. II It Is desired
to make the shoes and boots more
waterproof, beef tallow may be add
ed to any OF these substances at the
rate OF half a pound of tallow to q
pint OF oil. The edge OF the sole and
the welt should be creased thorough
ly. Too much grease can not be ap-
piled to these parts.
A simple methoo OF making the
soles more durable. pliable and water
resistant is to swab them occasionally
with linseed oil, setting them aside to
dry over night.
Many OF the common shoe polishes
are harmful to leather. All those
which contain sulphuric, hydrochloric,
or oxalic acids, turpentine, benzine. or
other volatile solvents, have a ten
dency to harden the leather and make
1t more liable to crack.

WIDOWS ARE ADDICTED
TO The QUEST OF YOKE
California Statistics Also Show
Divorces Gain.

Los ANGELES. June 5.-vitsl
| statistics complied by the California
State Board OF Health show a general
but steady decrease in the number OF
marriages OF persons where both par
ties were single. While brides and
bridegrooms OF this class are still
about five times as numerous as those
who had been previously welded, the
falling on in the number of marriages
of bachelors and spinsters stands out
as clearly Indicative OF the growing
desire OF those who have formerly
experienced the blessed state OF mat
rimony to test its bills the second
time, in the event of the severIng of
marital bonds by death or divorce.
The ten-year average from 1906 to
1915 OF the first marriage OF both
parties was TAI per cent. In the lat
ter year II fell to its lowest level. or
69.9 per cent. OF the participants in
these marriages for this period the

grooms was $50, while that of spin
sters was sO.T for the last ten years.
In 1915 the percentage of bachelor
bridegrooms had fallen to s2.3 and
that OF spinsters to 1872.
Divorces Seek Yoke.
While the proportion OF widowers
among bridegrooms and of widows
among brides varied only slightly
through the ten-year period, yet the
percentage OF divorced persons re-
marrying. averaging 7.3 among BRIDE
grooms and 0.3 among brides. in
creased amazingly in 1915 to 81 per
cent for brldegrooms and III per
cent for brides, proving the assertion
that a second venture on the sea of
matrimony is quite popular and be-
coming more so every year, despite
all clerical preachment against the
remarriage of divorced persons.
