Cleaning Furniture

> To clean white enameled furniture remove all dirty marks with flannel dipped in wood alcohol, then wash with tepid water to which has been added a little oatmeal
 Paint or woodwork that has become greasy should be cleaned with cloth dipped in turpentine, then wiped with a cloth dipped in water to which a little kerosene has been added.
 Stains may be removed from marble by brushing the spots with brush dipped in a paste composed of equal parts of soft soap, quickime and caus- tic soda. Leave on for several days, wash off and dry, then polish with soft cloths. .
 When a wicker chair requires clean ing, dust it well and wash in tepid soapsuds. Mix together equal parts of turpentine and sweet oil and few drops of methylated spirits. When the chair is quite dry rub with cloth moistened with the polish.

Piskled Eggs

Place in an agate ware saucepan one pint of vinegar and add half a tea spoonful of whole cloves, one blade of mace, one broken stick of cinnamon, one teaspoonful of allspiCe, half tea spoonful of salt and saltspoonful of pepper. Simmer the spices and vine gar for ten minutes. Boil four or five eggs for twenty minutes, cool in cold water and remove the shells. Place the eggs in a fruit jar and pour the boiling hot vinegar over them. The eggs should stand in the spiced vine gar for at least thirty-siX hours before using. If one or two sliced beets. are cooked with the vinegar 1t will impart a delicate pink color to the eggs. Eggs prepared by this method are very de sirable for salads or sandwiches.

Worth Knowing

In pressing silk spread sheet of tissue paper, thin enough to be seen through, over the silk. The paper pro tects tue silk from the iron and pre- vents the shiny appearance made by the iron coming In direct contact with the silk.
 To clean a maclintosh spread 1t out flat on the table and sN'ub with warm water and yellow soap in which lit tie carbonate of ammonia has been dissolved. Rinse in cold water and hang in the air to dry. On no account put 1t near the fire.
 When jam has become sugary and hard place it in the oven until the sugar melts. Take out and put to cool. It will taste as good as freshly made jam.
 A saturated solution of epson salts is a good remedy for burns Apply as soon as possible and keep wet con- tinually until the pain ceases.
 New stockings SnouIu De washed De fore being worn. This is done to re- move a dressing which one finds tn most new stockings. If the stocking is worn without this dressing being re- moved the chances are very great that a hole will result the first day.
 A few minutes relaxation each day should be one of the housewife's rules.
 Where no oven thermometer is at hand convenient test will be to put a teaspoonful of four in an earthen dish in the oven. If this flour becomes light brown evenly throughout in five minutes time the oven is right for baking bread. If the flour scorches in that time the oven is too hot.

Winter Is the Time to
 Kill Next Summers Flies

Don't let your home become a winter haven for flies, says the North Carolina state board of health. Even the clean home when the weather turns cold becomes attractive to flies, and only the greatest vigilance will keep them out. But when flies do get into the home at the coming of cold weather don't let them go to the ceiling and stay there. And don't think that the first freeze will kill them out. Flies are not dead when they lie around stiff with cold. The next warm spell or next spring will show you they were "possuming."
 In case of freeze, however, every fly in the house should be swept down and burned. They should be sought out and brought from under cover in every room in the house, from the eel lar to the garret. Scientists tell us that the flies that were matched late and that have not completed their life cycle are they which live in an even temperature through the winter and become the progenitors of our count less millions next summer. Conse- quently now is the time to fight next summers flies.
 This Is the time when "swatting" flies will be really effective. But if there are too many to swat trap or poison them. Use fly paper and every other means in order that not one may be carried over from one season to the next

Household Helps

New enameled pans, If placed in a pan of water and allowed to come to a boil and then cool, will be found to last much longer without burning or cracking.
 If milk is heated until lukewarm, then chilled suddenly, there will be much more cream. The skin which will form should be removed by strain ing through muslin.
 If copper pans are not very carefully cleaned there is danger that they may poison the food cooked in them.

HEALTH IN MILITARY TRAINING

Military training invariably improves the health and weight
of Young men. 1t takes off fat and puts on muscle, and the
proof is that the average weight of the national guardsmen who
served on the Mexican frontier showed an increase of about
ten pounds. though they drilled and marched in a hot climate
to which most of them were unaccustOmed. The war depart
ment will put more than 100000 men in training as soon as
possible and another half million will be added before the be-
ginning of the year. Two or three years of service in the army
puts its stamp upon a man. Throughout the rest of his life
his back remains straighter. his mind is brighter, he is heater
in his dress and more resourceful and able to take care of him
self than those who have not gone through the experience.
No matter what their present attitude may be, young men
who serve their country in this war and come back to it will
not regret it in after life and will appreciate what it has done
for them as they grow older. Many city jewellers look weedy
and unfit, for military service, but the records of our civil war
prove that the clerks and indoor workers drawn from the larg-
er cities and towns became strong and active under military
training and outmarched men who worked at heavy trades
and even the farmers who spend so much time out of doors.
A prominent Cleveland physician says that ninety per cent
of the army Of the unfit can be reclaimed by a course Of train.
ing and supervision carried on by the government. Nature
does wonders when she gets a chance, and the recuperativ6
power of the human body up to the age of thirty or thirty-five
is marvellous. Theodore Roosevelt was a weakling as a boy
and we know what he made of himself. SandOw, the we'll
known professional strong man, was another weakling whose
muscular development was the wonder of his day.
Proper food, exercise, fresh air and regular habits will
put four out of five young men on their feet and make then
strong for the rest of their days. If we can feed our soldier
! roperly. the physical well being of the people of this cOuntr!
Will be improved rather than deteriorated by this war. Thosa

ANOTHER BREAD FOR THE ALLIES

Mixed flours now are used extensively in England and
France. The English find a mixture of barley flour and wheat
flour to be very palatable and rye flour is used as far as it
can be obtained in both countries. They do not know how to
use corn meal or corn flour and their chief objection to it is
that it will not work well with yeast.
If Americans can teach them how to cook corn bread and
also convince them that corn flour can be mixed with wheat
flour in almost equal proportions, and that the bread or biscuit
made from such mixed flour can hardly be distinguished from
that made from white flour, the problem of supplying our al
lies with breadstuffs will be simplified and we will create ;
market for corn that may lead to larger exports of that grain
for use as food for human beings than our sales of wheat have
ever enjoyed. If we can find a market for corn we can easily
raise oOW!WN.OO bushels a year, provided the farmers will
pay wages that will attract labor. The same number of men
can plant, cultivate and harvest corn without extra help in tn,
harvest field, and corn is the only grain that can be so handled
on large farms.

Gently enacted and proposed show that the government at Mex.
leo City is attempting to provide, under the guise of high
sounding ideals, a situation highly pleasing to those individu-
ais who are in a position to enforce their claims, but which
DIVORCES widely from idealism.
Some of the laws appear to be SO worded that their Observ-
ance would be left largely to individual Judgment, and others
are so tightly drawn that they cannot be strictly enforced.
Such a condition induces venality, which has always been of
fetal Mexico's besetting sin.
1t is not Mexicos laws, however, that are most annoying to
us now, but rather her official blindness in failing to recognize
the mess of German plots and spy activities that are flourish
ing there now. Now it appears that German spies are using
the country as headquarters, transmitting to Germany by un-
foreground means information illicitly obtained in this coun-
try, 1t is even asserted that a wireless station, capable of
reaching Germany, has been installed and is being used IF
official Mexico does not know of this condition, it ought to, and
certainly could if it wanted to. Spoken idealism does not
square with under-hand righteousness, and we hope soon to
see the end of the condition now said to obtain.-Mining Jour-
nal.

AN OPTIMISTIC E

me menace OF the submarine seems on the decrease, but
1t is wise not to be carelessly optimistic. The admiralty states
that U-boats claimed but 60 British vessels during the three
weeks ending May 27. In the same period there were t6 O3O
ship movements; :" that is, arrivals and departures from Brit
ish ports. This gives a ratio of ship movements, to sinkings
of 23i to 1.
In the Adriatic, the Italians have recently sunk 13 sub
marines, largely, it is said, through the genius of Marconi
That our exports increased in April in spite of the sinh
marine is evidenced by figures just issued by the custom
house. The total for last month is $216,OO9, 800, as against
ish ports. This gives a ratio of ship movements to sinkings
