Water-Glass Method.

1. Select a 5-gallon crock and clean
it thoroughly, after which it should
be scalded and allowed to dry.
2. Heat a quantity Of water to the
boiling point, and allow it to cool.
3. When cool measure out nine
quarts of water, place in in the crock,
and add one quart sodium silicate,
stirring the mixture thoroughly. This
will be sufficient to preserve Is doz-

for the quantity needed to preserve

Daylight Honesty.

The old Greek that went around in
daytime with a lighted lantern, look
ing for an honest man, wished to i'm
ply that they are hard to find. AS we
view it, there's a lot more honesty in
the daylight hours than any other
time. We are all honest then. Don't
we all admit and even insist on it?
But if the world knew all that hap
pens after dark, it would have some
reason to get out its honest-powered
lanterns. Many q model citizen,
whose daylight honesty is white as
new snow, is considerably different
when nobody can see him. If you
turned your lantern upon him then,
you might find him sneaking away to
some hole in the ground where he
keeps nest of bottles that have been
ripening since July / or you might
discover him slipping into a back
door to fix up deal with some fellow
to grab off graft at public expense
