BUILDING HOUSES.

In connection with the build now" and everybody own his own home campaigns being carried on through out the country the idea is of course to stimulate building activity and provide the many houses that are needed to meet the wants of the peo- pie. It is of course a commendable undertaking and should accomplish much if those who are contemplat- ing building or can be interested in such operations can be convinced Of the wisdom of making the investment at this time. The situation, how ever. is very likely in many cases to be similar to the experience of the man who had planned an unpreten- tious home, just the kind that would meet his ideas, however and the ex- pense of which he could stand if it could be constructed for the figure which he had carefully estimated, but which proved to be too low by several thousand dollars when it was put out for bids.
 Just what effect the plan of stand ardizing houses so that ready to erect houses may be obtained on a large
 
 scale is going to have upon the situa- tion remains to be seen. Such build ings it is claimed have 8 great ad- vantage over the individual type be- cause they represent organized con- struction, cooperation against dis jointed individual effort and stand ardization against constructional chaos" It is urged that it is as prac- tical and would be as satisfactory as the ready to wear clothing and would mean the elimination of a lot of waste that is costly. It is not to be sup posed that all the houses would be ol the same style or the same price There would be a certain number oi designs and it can be realized tha' they would meet requirements of some people seeking homes but it can hard l ly be believed that the method o1 building that has been pursued in the past will be quickly eliminated.

 It is encouraging to find that the community council has taken steps to investigate the entire playground situation in Waterbury. Other grounds are badly needed in several sections of the city.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

That good old standby, mixture of lemon juice and glycerine, is a great comfort to the hands, especially in house cleaning time.
 The acids of medicines have very destructive action upon the teeth. Iron tonics greatly discolor and injure the teeth. The best way, therefore, is to take such medicine through a tube afterward wash out the mouth with one of the alkaline lotions. Children should be taught not to crack nuts with their teeth or to pick them with pins. In short, it should be more gen. constant attention fn order to, preserve eraliy recognized that the teeth require them through middle life. Directly your teeth show signs of decay, pay a. visit to the dentist and have them promptly filled.
 When one is constantly on the feet a fiattened instep is often the result. This is exceedingly painful and usually accompanied by severe swelling of tie limbs. To gain relief a flexible pad should be worn under the arch of the foot. Daily rubbing should also be given with liniment.

KEEP MIRRORS CLEAN.

Clean cloths are essential to clean mirrors A cloth that has been used for something else and is only a trifie soiled will ruin the appearance of a big mirror, for every speck of dust or smear of grease seems to be much enlarged on the smooth, and hard sur face of a mirror.
 So the first requisite to clean mirrors is a supply of clean cloths, which are never to be used for any purpose save cleaning mirrors. These should be kept clean and dry and folded. They can be used more easily if they are not ironed.
 The mirrors should be dusted every day and when it is necessary to wash them they should first be freed from dust with a dry cloth. They should then be covered with a film of some cleaning preparation-there are several cleaning materials sold in cakes or bricks and some pastes which need only the addition of a little water to be ready to use.
 The cleaning preparation should be washed off with a fresh, damp cloth and then the mirror should be rubbed dry with a dry cloth, chamois or bits of tissue paper wadded up. All the clean 7 sue paper the sort that comes about 1ats and suits, can be saved in q big cretonne bag for polishing mirrors and windows.

Mountain of cinders On Fire.

some months ago a lot of hot ashes
 unioaded on the Reading Transit &.
 Light Company's cinder dunn near
 Carsonia Park started to burn after
 the Workmen who unloaded the car
 had left.
 The dump covers an area of thre.
 acres and not far from the fashion
 aoie residential colonies of Mount
 Penn, Carsonia and Pennside. Now
 the hre has spread to q considerable area, working under the surface of
 what seems like small mountain Of cllIder. until clouds of smoke arisA from the place night and day.
 The accidental fire. feeding on half burned coal in the cinders from the allied Metropolitan Electric Conpany's
 great electric plant in West Reading.
 more than three miles from the dump,
 IS proving costly for the electric and transit companies The power plant uses 10000 or more tons of soft coal every morthS and the quantity of ashes dumped near Carsonta may bN several thousand tons, some of it still good for fuel if it could be separated. The company put big force of men lat work digging trench around the affected section. The men used kgEs i horse scoops, but later they had to use picks and shovels The job covers con- siderable territory, anI several hundred men have been working on and of all this month on the deep wide trench. which the company hopes will conf1ns the fire to the present burning area, The trench is thirty feet deep at places, and must be run to that depth all around the fire. Ist one place the flames made such progress that tho, diggers felt the intense heat and had a hard fight to get around the point threatened by the flames before the | fire reached it.-Philadelphia North American.

LAUNDRY HINTS.

Bluing and ammonia put into water clothes are to soak in will loosen the dirt and bring the clothes out nicely white when washed.
 When washing close the snap fast eners on garments before putting them through the wringer and they will not be so apt to become crushed and con- sequently useless.
 Paint no matter how hard and dry, can be taken out of wooden clothing by using solution of equal parts of ammonia and turpentine. Saturate the spot two or three times, then wash out with soap suds.
 Table linen should always be ironed on both sides to bring out the beauty of it. First it sould be ironed well on the wrong side until nearly or quite dry. Then turned and polished with a hot iron on the right side This method brings out a beautiful gloss. Poor linen can be made to leek very well when properly done up,'' and the very finest damask can look very cheap and poor when badly iron ed

DARK WALNUT FLOOR.

Staining a floor need not loom up as a formidable task even to the woman who has never wielded a paint brush. If the floor has never been stained be- fore, then your task is much easier, for you have virgin boards to work on. But if it has been stained before and you wish to apply a different stain the for mer one will have to be removed by means of a remove that can be got for the purpose.
 To stain your. floor a dark walnut have the floor perfectly clean, then take pound of burnt umber ground in oil; paint stores sell this preparation Next take boiled linsed oil and mix enough of the umber with it to color the oil. but not thicken it. Try on a small piece Of board and add umber until you have the required shade. Rub this into the floor nntil the stain ceases to come off and the wood is of a rich walnut D4 oWl1. some Or the. color may dry out. in which case another coat should be applied.

CLEAN NEcKTlES.

Get quart fruit jar with rubber and cover;' half fill IL with naphtha and put the ties in, the white ones by them selves and first of all. Having screwed the cover down tightly shake the jar about for some minutes, when the dirt will l most be entirely removed. If necessity, repeat the process.
 Smooth them out carefully and pat any streaked or discolored places with a bit of cloth--an old handkekrchief will do nicely. Then hang them in the air to dry and allow the odor to ayapo- rate. It is best to leave them out some days. A bit of mosquito netting or cheese cloth will be required to cov- CT them from dust or flies.
 The darker ties may pe put in the same naptha. It is well to have two jars, Q for first washing, another for the second aiming if necessary. The naphtla should be kept in close stop ped bottle and such work should all ways be done by daylight in a room without a fire and with open windows, if possible, as the vapor from the naphtha is highly infiammabie.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
5 FOX
 THE HOUSEWIFE


 Sandwiches filled with mince meat, onions, celery and pimentos have a salad leaf added.
 Milk and leafy vegetables are more necessary for health than even a per fectly varied diet.
 Your favorite rice pudding will have it's richness enhanced by ee-fourths of cupful of coconut.
 Blankets should always be pulled we'll down at the foot of the bed and tucked under the mattress.
 Clean gold with a rag moistened with a mixture of one teaspoonful of ann monia to a cup of water.
 Newspapers soaked in water for twenty four hours make an excellent pulp with which to fill cracks. Suet or fat from roasts and steaks should be tried out before it<becomes rancid and clarified if necessary. Brush and air every article that is to be put away for the summer, then wrap up well or, better still, paste the edges securely.
 Mice detest the odor of camphor and when the mice get too wise for the traps about the places they come and by renew wing once in five or six weeks your troubles will be over. After cleaning brass thoroughly slightly moisten a cloth with sweet oil and rub the brass well. It's especi- ally good in damp weather.

AFTER WAR METHODS.

That the government does not in tend to continue peace time activity In tho matter of ship construction up- pn the basis of that done during the war period is conclusively demon- strsted by the announcement to tho effect that hereafter the shipping board will insist upon fixed prices in the building of merchant ships ra ther than the plan of constructine them for cost plus a certain percent- age of profit.
 This latter plan did much without doubt to bring about the production of ships at time when there was the greatest need for them and if con- scientiously carried out it must be ad mitted that there are some good fea tures~about it, but in the building oi ships as well as everything else where inc government is the directing forcs there is no telling where the cost is going to stop.
 With hat price fixed for the building of the vessels the shipbuild ing concern works thereto. All of it: operations are based thereon and nat urally it does not figure to lose by tht payment of exorbitant prices for ma. terial or wages. Such, however, is no the case with the cost plus plan. In. asmuch as the government meets tn, cost and the builder gets profit or the expenditure there is no limitation The more the vessel costs the greate will be the profit of the builder. Ther, is nothing to be guided by in the wa, Of a bid. All that is necessary is t, see that the profit is collected on eacl and every expenditure that is mad 2 with full realization that the higher i goes the bigger the profit. That ma, ne well enough when expense mus be overlooked in order to win a wa put with changed conditions to retur, to. the old method IS far more busi sesslike.
