TO PREPARE GRATING WAX
Directions Given for Melting Resin,
Beeswax and Beef TalIow-make
IL Into Sticks.

A good grade of grating wax may
be made as follows: Resin four parts
by weight, beeswax two parts by
weight, beef tallow one part by weight.
The ingredients should be melted to-
gether but not boiled. AS soon as they
are all melted stir thoroughly and pour
into a tub of tepid water. Grease the
hands with tallow and work the mass
under water in such a way that ii will
cool evenly throughout. When tough
remove from the water and pull like
candy until it becomes q light straw
color. Make into sticks about an inch
in diameter, wrap in oiled paper and
lay aside until wanted.
To use, simply warm by holding in
the hands or by working it under tcpid
water. 1t Will keep Indefinitely. If
the wax is lumpy it is because it was
boiled or because it was cooled too
quickly. Lumpy wax may be improved
by heating slowly preferably in q
double boiler or glue pot) until it Is
completely melted and then repeat as
before.

Burton f. Stevenson, the author
who is camp librarian at Camp Sher-
man, O., says that the first three re-
quests that came to him were, first,
for a book on the valuation of public
utilities; second, for book on CON
Servation of national resources. and,
third, for q Roumanlan dictionary. He
supplied the first two and later fur-
niShed the Roumanian dictionary.
A young soldier walked into MIR.

which looked highly technical. The
young soldiers turned over the leaves
and handed it back.

Mr.. Stevenson promptly sent for a
more advanced book.
Public Libraries Help.
A system Of borrowing books from
| public libraries oil over the country
has proven a great aid to the camp
librarians and they have been making
the most of this privilege. All the L.
braries are doing their bit toward max
| ing the leisure hours Of the soldiers
happy by lending the camps what they
need.
The camp librarians have found out
that an extremely high percentage Of
the soldiers want to study. Most OF
| them are ambitious to rise and are TAX
ing advantage of the opportunities Of
| fered them by the American Library
association to read serious books. Be
! cause Of the demand for serious lltera.
| ture the association has determined
! to spend most of the money it has for
serious books and to look to the public
to donate fiction and light literature.
In the near future 1t will launch an in
tensive campaign for gift books. Judg-
! ing from the freedom with which the
| public has given books so far the asso-
citation has no misgtvings as to the
outcome of its campaign.
! The reason the campaign has not
! been made before is that the asSOcia-
ton wanted to perfect It's organization
| and arrange for the prompt handling
Of the great food Of books it Is ex-
| pecting. So far the standard Of books
| donated has been high. Few persons
| have shown an inclination to rid their
| library shelves of useless volumes at
| the expense Of the soldiers and sailors.
On the contrary, the best books have
been given. Occasionally undesirable
books are sent 1t. but they are prompt
] ~ thrown away by the librarian. In
fact. those who might be inclined to
send such books may as well save the
energy 1t would take to dispatch them.
| They will never reach the soldiers.
Before it's camp library buildings
were completed the association dis
tributed its books through the chap
lains Of the Y. NJ. c. A., the Knights Of
| Columbus, the Red Cross and other
organizations, which gladly volun-
teered to handle them These organi-
cations are still assisting In camp dis

Cheap Liquid Sugar

The sugar shortage has encouraged
Louisiana planters to broaden the use
of pure cane strip, which is made from
cane juice, without taking out any Of
its sugar. This Juice is boiled to a
point just below that required to crys-
talize 1t into sugar. and can be used
not only for griddle cakes and candy
making, but IL is recommended by the
planters as a sweetening for cogee and
tea. It is practically sugar in liquid
form. and on a basis of eight cents a
pound retail for granulated sugar will
yield economies Of 40 to so per cent.
at q price of four and One-half to five
cents a pound for strip.

all the camps where its libraries have
been completed, and daily deliveries
are made to all OF these branches"
and stations.
The men are allowed to take books
out OF the library and keep them from
n week to two weeks. There is no
penalty attached to overtime retention
of a book. In fact, penalties are not
necessary, for the men appreciate the
books so thoroughly that they are as
sisting the camp librarians in every
possible manner.
Sending Books to France.
With its system of camp librarians

Association War Service is gradually
developing Its overseas service. BY es-
tablishing q dispatch station 1t has be-
gun a systematic distribution OF books
to soldiers and sailors on overseas
duty. From the dispatch office books
are being sent to naval vessels Of all
classes and are being placed aboard
army transports for the soldiers back
Of the trenches.
The Y. NJ C. A. has arranged to put
on transports book cases holding about
l25 volumes each. Books for these
cases are being supplied by the A. L. A.
which later will supply the cases also.

PRUNING THE FIRST WINTER
Vines According to Character
Of Plant Growth.

Pruning grapes the first winter after
the vines are started is most important.
1t Is then that the horticulturist must
carefully study his vines, shaping them
according to the character Of the
growth made by the plants. If the sea-
son has been bad, or, because of any
other reason, the years growth has
been weak and short. all the wood eX-
cept the biggest and strongest shoots
should be taken off and the big shoot
cut back to not more than three buds.
