The origin of chairs is lost in the

ECONOMY IN

War demands leather-leather 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 are for and preserve it properly.
In the army and out, W. all wear
shoes. If 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 util-
lied by everyone who walks.
To Save Shoes.
Shoes should be oiled or creased
whenever the leather begins to get
hard or dry. They should be brushed
thoroughly, and then all the dirt and
mud that remains washed off with
warm water, the excess water being
taken off with a dry cloth. While the
shoes are still wet and warm, apply
the oil or grease with a swab of WOO
or flannel. 1t is best to have the OF
or grease about as warm as the hant
can bear, and it should be rubbed
we'll into the leather, preferably will
the palm. If necessary the oil cal
be applied to dry leather, but it pene
trates better when the latter is wet
After treatment, the shoes should b.
left to dry in a place that is warm
not hot.
Castor oil is satisfactory for shoe
that are to be polished; for PLANE
footgear n~eat's-foot, fish oil, or olein
may be substituted. If it is desired t
make the shoes and boots more water
proof, beef tallow may be added to an

LOCKJAW.

In the early period of the European
war, many cases Of lockjaw or te-
tanus developed in the wounded of the
allied armies. This very fatal disease
is caused by a bacillus which is often
in the garden soil, street dust, and in
the earth in the vicinity of stables.
In order to cause ~tetanus, the germ
must lodge in a wound and find suit
able conditions for it's growth. In
juries in which clothing or foreign
matter is forced widely or deeply into
the tissues are the most dangerous be-
the tetanus germ can only
flourish in places into which ixygen
cannot penetrate, just as toadstools
grow best when sheltered from the
sun.
AS soon as the stress of war con-
ditions permitted, all badly wounded
men were Immediately given injec-
tions of the serum against tetanus as
a routine procedure to prevent this
dreaded disease. The use of the anti
toxin caused a prompt reduction in the
number of cases and the control of
tetanus in the armies can be justly
cited as one of the way in which sci
ence is helping valor to win the war.
This subject is of especial interest
at the present time because Fourth
of July injuries especially from blank
cartridges, are apt to be followed by
lockjaw if they are not promptly and
properly treated. The general adop-
ton of the "Sane Fourth" has done
much to reduce the number of these
accidents and suitable medical atten-
ton has prevented the development
of tetanus in almost every instance.
In view of the serious results which
may occur, it seems wise to again
warn all parents that wounds from
toy pistols, tirecrackers, and firearms
are always dangerous and all persons
hurt in this way, even though the
injury appears trivial, should be taken
at once to a competent physician fol-
treatment, especially to ascertain il
the serum should be injected.

WALK AROUND YOURSELF

When you're criticising others and
are finding there and here
A fault OF two to speak of, or a
weakness you can jeer;
When you're blaming some ones
meanness or accusing some of pelf
It's time that you went out to take
a walk around yourself.
There's lots of human failure in
the average of US all,
And lots of grave shortcomings
in the short ones and the tall;
But when we think of evils men
should lay upon the shelves,
It's time we all went out to take
a walk around ourselves.
We need so often in this life this
balancing of scales,
This seeing how much in us wins
and how much in us fails;
But before you Judge another -
just to lay him on the shelf
1t would be a splendid time to
walk around yourself.

OF these substances at the rate of half
a pound of tallow to a pint OF oil.
The edge of the sole and the welt
should be creased thoroughly. Too
much grease can not be applied to
these parts.
A simple method of making the
soles more durable, pliable, and water
resistant is to swab them occasionally
with linseed oil, setting them aside to
dry overnight.
Many of the common shoe polishes
are harmful to leather. All those
which contain sulphuric, hydrochloric,
or oxalic acids, %turpentine, benzine, OF
other volatile solvents, have a ten
dency to harden the leather and make
it more liable to crack.
1t is poor economy, too, to wear a
shoe with the heel badly worn on one
side. This throws the shoe out of
shape and may soon result in its
ruin. 1t is also likely to cause tenn
porary injury to the foot.
TO Preserve Harness.
Harness leather, like shoes, can not
be neglected without injury that less
ems its durability. It should be wash
ed and oiled frequently. The wash
ing should be done in tepid water with
a neutral soap and a sponge or stiff
brush. After rinsing in clean tepid
water, the harness is hung up to drain
a little while before oiling.
For driving harness neat's-foot o,
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 har'
ness. The oil, warm to the hand, i:
rubbed thoroughly into the leather
while it is still wet from the washing
Excess oil which the leather is unable
to take up should be removed with {
clean, dry cloth.

EAT COTTAGE CHEESE.

Cottage cheese is one of the i'm
portant meat substitutes, say special
lists Of the United States department
of agriculture. 1t contains a larger
percentage of protein (the chief ma
terial for body building) than most
meats and furnishes this material at a
lower cost. In every pound Of cot
tage cheese there is about one-ffth
of a pound of protein, nearly all of
which is digestibe. Meats, on the
other hand, usually contain less pro-
tein and besides have a certain waste,
such as bone and other inedible ma
terial. A pound of cottage cheese
daily would supply all the protein re-
quired by the ordinary adult engaged
in a sedentary occupation.
The following table shows that cot
tage cheese, obtainable at from II to
II cents per pound, is much cheaper
than most meats in furnishing pro-
tein for the diet.
For supplying protein n pound of
cottage cheese equals:
1.27 pounds sirloin steak.
100 pounds round steak.
1.39 pounds chuck rib beef.
1.52 pounds fowl.
LAG pounds fresh ham.
LA pounds smoked ham.
1853 pounds loin pork chop.
1.31 pounds hind leg of lamb.
1877 pounds breast of veal.

 Your letter received today and will try to tell you what I really think you should buy for your family and friends. If you are in doubt as to what you should give him, why KODAK would please him more than anything I know, because he can take your picture and then cut it out and put it in his watch, and for your sister know of nothing better than a MANICURING SET, as that would be something she would use every day, and again it will last her a lifetime. You said it would be a hard job to find something for your brother; I don't think so, as I feel sure he will be tickled to death with a FOUNTAIN PEN, or perhaps you would rather give him a nice PIPE, that is some thing he needs and will be very useful. Tell your brother that a nice box of CHOCOLATES will be the only present to give Stella; she is so fond of candy. He had better send his dad one of those INGERSOL WATCHES, because that is sure to keep good time and it is not very expensive. You can give your mother a beautiful box of STATIONERY. You will find several other little inexpensive articles at the stationery counter that would be very useful to her. As for Charlie-well, I can't think of anything better or that would be appreciated any more by him than to send him a nice BOX OF CIGARS. Last of all, I want to tell you what you can send me that is, of course, If you intended sending me something-well, it is a nice PHOTO ALBUM. You can get EVERYTHING I have men, toned at the

Better Than Wear on Tires.

The driver should not allow himself
to be either too hurried or too lazy to
put them on and take them off, accord
ing to the condition of the pavement
Better to do this u dozen times d day
rather than wear out set Of tires or
skid into the curb or a street car
They should be adjusted loosely, so
they can creep around and wear the en-
tire circumference of the tire slightly
but evenly; If they are so tight they
cannot creep, the cross chains will cut
away the outer rubber right down to
the fabric Tires cut this way cannot
be turned back to the rubber concern
for replacement, for the adjuster will
know at once what caused the wear.
Be sure there are a sufficient number
OF cross chains, SO that it will not be
possible for the brakes to stop the
wheels between the cross links for, in
that event, it will slide just as badly
as though no chains were used. As a
car is more likely to skid going down
grade than on the level it follows that
extra care should be exercised. and
that the driver should slow speed for
a stop farther away than would ordi-
nari1y be necessary, and that the stop
should be gradual. One should watch
closely on a hill, for there is a greater
coasting momentum and a greater ten
dency for the rear wheels to slew
around, because of the weight upon
them.
After all, the greatest preventive of
skiddfng is care. The driver who keeps
his eyes open and wits about him will
have his car under control in situations
