Kitchen Observations

Don't wash glasses in clear water;
use little soap.
The woman who has many dishes to
wash. and whose feet get tired, should
try standing on a rubber rug, such as
many people have at their front doors.

Hints 10 the HOusekeeper

Raisins often stick to the paper in
which they have been wrapped. At
such times hold the paper for NOM
cnt over the steam escaping from a
teakettle and the fruit can then be re-
moved readily.
To clean out a -four barrel take a
child's small broom. 1t will be found
very convenient, as the long handle
is an aid in reaching the bottom of the
barrel.
Don't pick up little pieces of glass,
but wet a wooden cloth, lay it on the
floor where the fragments are and pat
it. The tiny particles will adhere to

Prohibition a. Success

Prohibition in Virginia has been a
great success. The law went into
effect November /, 1916, and its good
effects were Immediately felt.
The superintendent Of the state
penitentiary informs me that the
number committed to the state prison
for the first nine months Of 1916 when
we had the licensed saloon was COS.
while the corresponding nine months
of 1917. under prohibition, the num-
Der fell to 307;-301 saved from a
felon's cell in nine monthsl
The Jail statistics for the first nine
months of this year are not yet avail
able, but the reports at the Office of
the state board of charity and cor
rection, show that there were 2,041
less prisoners committed to the jails

The prohibition question is not set
tied for Michigan as some of our
friends seem to think. The statewide
prohibition law is not invulnerable
except as it shows temperance senti-
ment. Each state must vote on the
national constitutional amendment
and if three-fourths of the states rati-
fly the action of congress, the amend
ment will become law. The ques-
ton as it will come before the people
will simply be: "Are you in favor OF
national probition 2" This will be
what you will ask the candidates for
the legislature and the vote will be
for or against, according as you feel
about it. The legislature will vote
upon it and if ratified by three-fourths
vote will be one spoke Of the forty
eight toward national prohibition.

When sending a stamp in q. letter
instead of moistening one corner and
sticking it to the paper, moisten a
small spot in the center of the stamp
and then affix it to your letter. The
removal of small part of the adhe-
sive substance from the center in no
way impairs the usefulness of the
stamp; whereas it is often torn if the
corner is fastened.

For pressing dark wooden garments
like trousers and skirts, the most sat-

[talys ambition to conquer in the air.
When Senator Pho Foa complained in
the Italian senate that there were so
many aviation camps in Italy that
ground useful for grain cultivation
was being unduly occupied, he was not
very far wide of the mark.
For the past two years Italian Off
GERS have been insisting that victory
would come only through he air. and
hese camps are he result of the effort
in that direction. According to Com
missioner General of Aeronautics, Chi
esa, Italy today has forty thousand
men various branches of machine
manufacture.
AS a mark of Italy's pride at hav-
ing Americans to train, one of the
navy's most distinguished air machine
officers was instructed to build the
camp. He is technically in charge of
the camp, with an American comman-
der to control the training of the Amer
lean students.
The work of turning out men Off
active service either as observers or
pilots has gone on rapidly. The big
problem is to keep the men flying, to
give them the practice necessary to
make them all round men. Thirty
hours in the air is generally required
for each man. This seems like a small
amount of time until it is realiped
that this means 1870 blights of Is min
utes each and that it is not always
easy to give each man as much as one
flight of Is minutes day. Flying is
like farming. It is regulated by the
weather
Seaplane FLYING is quite different
art from that of so-called land plane
! flying. In both the landing is diff
cult. but in seaplane flying the land
ing cannot be made without danger
if there is mist hanging over the wa
ter or if the waters surface is mirror
like, since in either case the flyer can
not Judge distances and in nosing pre-
liminary to landing he may hit the wa
ter too soon. drown himself and
wreck a valuable machine, Further,
every condition varies according TO
the eype of machine being used.
