Chairman Newlands asked the rail-

money needed by the roads to equip

promised to prepare it in time for pre-
sentation to President Wilson Monday.
The President himself began consid-
ering the question today in conference
with Chairman Hall Of the interstate

be needed to equip and enlarge their

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Velvet that has been spotted with
rain should not be brushed dry Shake
the velvet and leave IL. The water will
evaporate and show no mark--unless
the velvet was dusty before getting
wet. In that case wipe the velvet
while still damp with clean damp
cloth. This will remove the dust.
Then shake we'll and leave to dry.
Before applying black lead as a pol
ish make a pad of old cloth and rub
SCOT from the back Of the crate or
from the fue on all the greasy parts.
The crate will then take the polish
with much less labor than usual.
In making coffee sprinkle little
salt on your coffee before pouring on
boiling water and the flavor will be
wonderfully improved. Always see
that the pot is warmed before making
coffee.
When baking potatoes, grease them
first with a little butter, and when
cooked they will be beautifully brown
and crisp, with the glazed appearance
that makes them so appetiz.ng.
To prevent cheese from getting
mouldy. wrap it in d cloth that has
been dipped in vinegar and wrung as
dry as possible. Keep in cool place
10 prevent insect DlteS, run tAe
skin with little vinegar and water,
Scented verbane leaves are said tc
have the same effect.
When working on silk, keep a piece
of sandpaper on the table and rub
your hands lightly over it when they
stick to the silk
For grit in the eye, apply drop or
two of castor oil; it relieves the irri-
tation.
Now that pancakes are the order Of
the day. those that like maple syrup
can make it at home at small cost.
Take twelve or fifteen clean corncobs
(the red ones are best). Wash and
put in kettle with enough water to
cover: boil about one hour. then strain
the liquor, add sugar and boil like
syrup.
To Prevent Odor of Sauerkraut-
When cooking kraut the next time
put enough for several meals into the
kettle, then cook it slowly for an hour
or more before adding seasoning. Put
the superfluous kraut in pint or quart

present last year and what would be

(2) When a boy comes to take you
any place what should you say when
you are ready to go? S. D.
Cd The fact that the boy gave you
a Christmas present last year does not
