CARE OF YOUR TOOLS.

when buying brooms, mOps, sweep CTS and cleaners of all descriptions it is wise to buy the best and then take care of them-it will be cheaper in the long run. Think of them as instrum ents that save time, strength, wear and tear. For instance, long handles on brooms, brushes and dust pans save the back
 A cleaning cloth should be soft and loosely woven so that it will take up dirt easily and can be easily kept clean. A duster takes up dirt bet ter if a few drops of water or oil have been sprinkled on it. But you must beware of too much moisture or oil because it leaves streaks. For wip- ing very dirty places, use soft paper, cotton waste or rags which may be thrown away.
 Keep all your cleaning things to- gether in a convenient place. Put them away clean and be sure that you hang your brushes, mops and brooms when they are not in use. Keeping g them off the floor adds an unbelieva.- ble length of time to their life of service.
 Clean string mops by shaking over a damp newspaper or can or out in the open air if you are sure the dirt will not trouble you or your neigh bors. Wash them occasionally in hot water with washing soda or soap, and dry quiekIx, Sacil>klA A eAss

TO SPEAK BEFORE
 MASS MEETING
Accepts Invitation of Suf- fragists to Address
 Them

Ex-Anbassador Henry Morgenthau
 will come to Bridgeport tomorrow
 evening under the auspices of the
 Connecticut Woman Suffrage associa-
 ton, to deliver an address at the mass
 meeting of the association at the
 Stratfield ball room. MT. NIOrgenthau
 has greatly honored the association
 by accepting a late invitation. Sem ator Key Putnam, who was to be one of the principal speakers of the even ing, will be unable to attend because of the peace treaty vote at Washing ton.
 MT. Morgenthau, who is an ortho- dOX Jew, one of the most remarkable men of his race, and one of the great est speakers in the country, will be given great ovation on his first visit in Bridgeport. As ambassador to Fur key during the war, he was one of the outsta nding figures in that country. ' He came in touch with all of the se- cret machinery of the country and was in a large measure responsible for the rescue of Armenia during her struggle with Turkey. In honor of Mr AOrgenthau, it is expected that Attorney Jacob Klein will be one of the honOred guests on the platform.

 Perhaps you have already notic- ed a detail that has been added to the usual convention arrangements. We have for each day a special hos tess wearing her badge, whose great est desire is to explain to you from out of town concerning every possible need that may be yours.
 'eWe of Bridgeport are gratt1ed for having you among us-We are gTate- fuI for the leadership of some of you and the comradeship of others and our only wish is that our next meeting may be a jubilee, best trib- ute to you, with the work for suf- frage, at last behind us.''

Household Hints

Have a tinsmith make a zinc dish large enough to hold your siIverware knives, forks, spoons, butter dishes, etc. After placing silverware in dish, cover with a solution of 1 tablespoon salt, tablespoon baking soda and enough water to cover silver. In about minutes your silverware will look like new.
 A chemical action takes place.
 Your pan must be of zinc They sell for $5;you can have one made for 75 cents. It is perfectly harmless to all silver and plated ware and does away with all rubbing and polish ing.
 When your sweater has stretched across the shoulders, sew a piece of tape inside along the shoulder seams and across the back of the neck, at the same time taking in the extra full ness to bring the stretched parts back to their proper size. Sew another piece of tape inches below this one on the back, and one on each side of front. The stitches will fall back to their former places without show ing any fullness.
 When making fruit cake. I find the cake bakes better and looks nicer if the pan is lined with the plain batter before the fruit is added.
 Reserve a, little of the plain batter to spread over the top. If you do you will have a smooth cake, as well as have avoided the burning fruit on all sides and the corners.
 When ironing garments with snaps or hooks on them, fold a bath towel |, into a pad, place under the snaps and hooks and they will not rub through the fabric.
 To take away the odor of gaso1ene from the hands after washing gloves, ribbons, etc., rub a handful of salt on them.
 When rolling and whipping, stitch around the edges with the shortest stitch on your machine and trim close. The result is a close, firmly corded edge, which does not stretch, even when the cloth is on the bias. drops of oil on oiled mops-it keeps them in condition.
 Clean carpet sweepers frequently 1 Empty the box on a piece of damp l newspaper and use an oil scissors and 1 buttonhook, or coarse comb to re- i move hairs and dirt from the brushes | Keep the bearings well oiled.
