Tea for TintInq,

Tea is better than coffee for tint
ing the various shades of cream lace,
because there is less chance of streak
ing. Use strong solution of black
tea, and add this to the rinsing wa
ter, dipping it once or twice. This
gives better color than using tea
strong enough to give 1t the right color
the first time it is dipped. After lace
has been washed and tinted it should
be brought back to its original shape
by pinning on a clean ironing board,
or several folds of towel. Keep In
mind the shape of the lace as you pin,
and pin 1t so that all the scallops are
the same size. These pins should be
put in very close and the work re-
quires great deal of patience.

Sewing Machine Hints.

When your sewing machine belt be-
comes loose, do not stop to take 1t off
in order to tighten 1t. Just drop lit
find the belt tight after a few turns
of the wheel. One sometimes has trou-
Bile because the needle cuts heavy
cotton or linen goods when stitching.
If the seam to be stitched is rubbed
with hard white soap you will have no
more difficulty.
A Tonic for Sewing Machines.
After some years usage every sew
ing machine Is likely to clog up with
fine dust which the machine OIL col
lects on the bearings. AS soon as the
ma achine begins to work heavily, take
out the shuttle and then give each
movable part generous bath of gas
oline. Work the foot lever briskly, so
that the gasoline may penetrate every
part. The old oil and caked dust will
loosen and fall off in quantities that
will amaze you. Then open the win
dows Of the sewing room and let the
fumes of the gasoline escape. OF
course, during this cleaning process,
the machinist will take good care that
there is no lighted gas, lamp or fire
in the room. 1t is good plan then
to let the machine stand without the
usual lubricating oil until you are
ready to use it again. A piece of
chamois should always be kept on
hand to wipe off the superfluous oil
before beginning to stitch.

TAX BOARD TO AID
GOUGER VICTIMS
Gratz, Head of Revision Body,
Says Valuations Will Not
Be Boosted
TO PROTECT SMALL HOUSES

Property owners who have been COM
PEELED to purchase their homes at ex-
orbitant prices or he turned out need
have no fear that their taxes will be
increased to correspond with the in
f1atcG valuation, according to Simon
Gratz, president of the Board Of Re
vision of Taxes.
Regardless of the wishes of Mayor
Smith that the valuations bC boosted
to yield S15O, 600 900 more, Mr.. Grat2
said, the property owners. especially
the owners of small houses, will be
given every possible protection. In case
where real increases IN value have
occurred. owners will be notified of the
ter. and given every opportunity to
protest.
GRATIS Statement
Mr.. 'Gratz said:
while | fully appreciate the needs
of the city for increased revenue in
order to meet the cost of the municipal
administration, the fact must always
be borne in mind that the owners of
real estate, and particularly the owners
of small properties. must be fairly
dealt with. Increases in assessments
should be based upon real and not nc
titiOuS values.
IF, for instance. the tenant of Z
property : compelled to purchase il
from the owner at an extravagant
price, or bo turned out neck and heel,
not knowing where to go, and in con
sequence he is led to purchase the
property. he should not be forced to
pay taxes upon it based upon more than
its normal value.
For Moderate Advances
Naturally, where values have in =
creased, there would be an advance in
the assessment. but this advance
should always be moderate in its char
actor so as not to be oppressive.
1T is impossible for me to say at
, this time what the probable total as
scSScd valuation increase for the year
1870 will be. While | am sure that it
Will D" considerable, | am equally sure
that by no probability can it reach the
1gures that are spoken of by some
persons.

ICE PROBLEM FOR DAlRYMEN
Scrupulous Care In Production and
Handling of Milk Is Necessary
to Keep 1t Sweet.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Keeping milk fresh and sweet this
summer is likely to be more of a prob
lem than usual. Cold is the most i'm
portant single factor in keeping milk
sweet, and ice is usually necessary to
accomplish this. In most natural ice
sections of the country, however, there
is a marked scarcity of natural ice.
Heretofore, in regions where SO per
cent of American milk has been pro-
duced, natural ice has been plentiful
and cheap, and has been the principal
means by which u perishable food
product has been sent long distances
to market without spoilage. AS a re-
suit of the mild winter in many sec
lions little natural ice was harvested,
and since in the North the manufac-
ture of artificial ice is confined prin-
cipally to the larger cities, 1t Is doubt
full If this product would be available
to milk producers even If the price
could be made satisfactory.
On account of the lack of ice, dairy
men will be compelled to use scrupu-
lous care in the production and hand
ling of milk and cream. 1t will be
necessary to adhere more closely than
ever to the three C's in caring for
milk-keeping it clean, cold, and COW
cred.
One of the most important factors
in reducing the bacterial count in
milk, and thus lengthen its keeping
qualities, is the sterilization of uten-
sils. Pals, strainers, separators, sur
face coolers, and shipping cans must
be cleaned and sterilized, preferably

Custom of Preventing Growth of Horns

cent of water. The caustic soda is
dissolved in the water and heated to
the boiling point, Their removed from
the fire, and the kerosene added grad
ually, while the mixture is vigorously
stirred. This emulsion Is applied in
very much the same manner as the
stick caustic, except that 1t is neces-
sary to employ a short, stiff brush.
Sometimes. a meat skewer is used, the
large end being mashed to form a
stubby brush. Two or three applica-
lions should be made to each horn
button, as in the cas- of the stick
c~austic, with intervals to allow it to
dry.
In the very young calf the horn
button, or point that will ultimately
develop into a horn, has scarcely any
attachment to the skull, and may be
felt as a small button embedded In
the skin. In this early stage 1t may
be easily removed with a sharp knife
or a pair of curved scissors. but ever
then caustics should be applied to kill
any remaining cell life belonging to
this germ point; otherwise there may
be some subsequent irregular horn
growth, which is more or less of Q
Disagreement.

The present styles in afternoon
gowns play into the hands of many
women who have learned to make one
frock serve for both afternoon and
evening. They managed very well in
this same matter during the war, when
evening dress was taboo, and now
Paris has dealt the cards so that the
game becomes easy. There is a vogue
for bare arms. or very abbreviated
sleeves, on French gowns. that is re-
fected here in short sleeves made of
h sheerest fabrics that merely veil
the arms. 1t doesn't take much mu-
neuvering IN the part of a clever
woman to place an afternoon frock of
this kind In the class of evening gowns.

PREVENT HORNS ON CALVES
Either caustic Soda or caustic Potash
Without Other Substances Is
Satisfactory.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of ~Agriculture.)
When circumstances are favorable,
as in the case of farmers who build
up their herds by raising the progeny,
the horns may be prevented from
growing by n simple and practically
painless method, and the custom of
preventing the growth of the horns is
becoming more popular and more gen.
orally practiced under all conditions
except in the cast of calves dropped
on the open range. The calf should
be treated not later than one week af-
ter its birth, preferably when it is
from three to FIVE days DID. The agent
to be used may be either caustic soda
or caustic potash, both of which may
be procured in the drug stores in the
form of sticks about the thickness of
an ordinary lead pencil and . inches
long. These caustics must be handled
with care, as they dissolve the cutlcle
and may make the hands or fingers
sore. The preparation. of the calf con-
sists in first clipping the hair from the
parts, washing clean with soap and
warm water, and thoroughly drying
with a cloth or towel. The stick of
caustic should be wrapped in a piece
OF paper to protect the hands and fin
gers, leaving one end of the stick I'M
covered.
Moisten the uncovered end slightly
and rub it on the horn buttons or little
points which may be felt on the calf's
head, first on one n then the other,
alternately, two or three times on
each, allowing the caustic to dry after
each application. Be very careful to
apply the caustic to the horn button
only. If it is brought in contact with
the surrounding skin it will cause pain.
Be very careful also not to have too
much moisture on the stick of caustic,
as it will remove the skin If allowed
to run down over the face. After treat
ment, keep the calf protected from
rain, as water on the head after the
application of caustic will cause it tC
run down over the face. This mus
be carefully avoided.
Either caustic soda OF caustic pot
ash alone, without the admiXture o.
other substances, answers the purpos,
satisfactorily. Some years ago. how
ever, certain preparations or "dehorn
ing compounds" composed largely o
one or the other of these caustics
were generally used, and as inquire
are still occasionally received concern
ing such preparations, the following
formula is given: Combine in al
