Things Worth knowing,

Lay a Magazine "a small thick
one) on your kitchen cabinet or
cook table. When removing a YES
sci from stove set on the magazine,
then tear off as many leaves as are
soiled. Repeat until magazine is
used. You will find this to be say
ing on your dish cloths.
To Preserve Eggs-To three gall
Ions of rainwater add one pint
coarse salt and one pint unslacked
lime. Put all in a jar in which
you wish to keep the eggs; allow
t. dissolve, stirring occasionally for
three days. Then it is ready for the
eggs, either all at once or as you
wish 10 get them. This is a sure
way to keep eggs for winter use.
Keep jar in. cellar; cover to keep
dark.
Place Saucer of Charcoal in re-
frigerator to purify and keep things
from tasting like each other"
Renovate Pillows - First WASH
them, contents and all, then take
the bag from vacuum cleaner and
after ripping the end of each pillow
after it is washed, fit it tightly on
the cleaner and turn on the cleo
trio current. The air dries and liv-
ems the feathers. In a suprpris-
ingly short time they are as light
and fluffy as new.
Oilcloth Wall Covering - Table
oilcloth is an excellent wall finish
tc waincot height. Put it on over
the painted wall, using the width
of the oilcloth, which is one and a
half yards wide. Use a cheap pic
ture molding as finish. In it's place
a narrow oilcloth border might be
used. The oilcloth base can be
wiped every week with a damp
cloth. and after five years of wear

reau, said today.
reports from the employment Of

fected are placing applications for
other work now so as to be certain

Although employers of men
whose places are affected by the
new ruling have not notified me,
several men each day apply for
work that is considered helpful to

today. Men who are not affected
can secure better position by ap-

expect hundreds TO apply for new
Jobs before the law is enforced" he
concluded.
It is estimated that 1000 will be
affected locally in the latest rul-

of men will have to seek elsewhere
