The attitude Of organized labor rs be-
coming broader and shows n better in
correlation with capital. II is showing
in tho solution Of its problems the same
business principles and patriotic i'm
pulses that should properly dominate
group Of men whose influence is so far
reaching and whose scope for bettcring
working conditions is so wide. This IS
very cmphatically shown in tho recent
statement made by Hugh Frayn". gen.
cral organizer Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. in which he said that
union labOr's interest in putting down
Bolshcvism in America is equal 10 or
greater than that of any other class
This dcrlaratio ion that organized labor is
not tainted by Bolshevic unrulincss is
most sane. and it is 70 he hoped that
rho convention Of the American Fedora
tiou this month will heartily endorse
Mr.. Frayne's statement. He said for all
unions:
..Thcy don't want to confscate. They
don't want to sciZ" property. They don |
want to live in idl"ncss. They believe
that capiral deserves a decent profit on
it's brains and investments. They want
to keep America az she has been Tor
century and A third. Those are our
idcals and the convention is likely TO
express them"

To Prevent Candles From Dripping.
Candle light Is one of tie prettiest
decorations We have. but they often
make such a mess one hesitates TO use
them. You may avoid all this. II you
freeze the candles before using. they
will never run, and burn twice as
long.
Candles hardened by being kept In
the refrigerator, or cool place, will
burn longer than others. Keep the
wick "snuffed." as did our grandmoth-
ers; when you blow candle out blow
up. instead Of over the light. and the
candle will not gutter. but burn even
ly next time. Church or wake candles
cost more, but are made of harder ma
terial and last longer.
For candle economy. shape cork
to fit the candlestick. then drive
through the center shap nail. bring.
the end of the candle on the point Of
the nail, and you will be able to burn
all candle ends down to the very last.
Loose Casters.
II annoyed by casters dropping out
of any article Of furniture. try soaking
large corks In water TO make them
pliable. then pounding them into the

The spring housekeeping Is finally
completed by washing and polishing
fixtures and furnishings that require
this treatment. Here are a few hints
and recipes that will be found useful !:
Electric Powder.
Used for polishing gold and silver
plated ware. German silver. brass. cop
per, glass, tin, steel. or any material
where brilliant luster Is required. To
four pounds of the best quality of
whiting add one-half pound cream of
tartar and three ounces Of calcined
magnesia. Mix thoroughly together.
Use the polish dry with piece of
chamois skin or canton flannel pre-
viOusly moistened with alcohol, and
finish with dry polish. A few mo-
ments' rubbing will develop a surpris-
ing luster. different from the polish
produced by any other substance.
Silver Powder.
Nitrate Of silver and common salt
each 80 grains. Cream Of tartar three
and one-half drains; pulyerize finely,
mix thoroughly, and bottle for use
Unequaled for polishing copper and
plated goods.
Knives not in daily use should be
well polished and buried in a box OF
sawdust until required for use.
Britannia ware SHOULD be washed
with wooden cloth and sweet oil
then washed in water and suds and
rubbed with soft leather and whiting
Frightening Brass.
To clean lacquered brass wash II
gently in lukewarm water, rub with
cloth dipped In equal parts of vinegar
