HOW MUCH RISK TO ASSUME
First Thing to Be Decided on When
One Is Contemplating an
Investment.

The first thing for investors to de-
eide is the amount of risk they can af-
ford to take with their. funds, says
Worlds Work. This win depend on
the purpose which they had In mind
when the funds were accumulated and
on the conditions that will surround
the investment. If one is laying up
savings to take care of himself in his
old age, is he not really trustee of
those savings for the old person he is
to be? If he is saving for his family.
is 1t not the same? But If the money
is being accumulated with the view
of taking advantage of business op-
portunity, 1t is different. Or IL one is
in close touch with conditions In n GER
tain business, he might be justified in
taking risks in that field which would
be improper for one ignorant of condi-
tons TO take. The degree of risk that
one is justified in taking must be large
ly decided by the investor himself, al
though others of more experience or
trimming might help. 1t is the first
point that should be decided.

Hatchina Season Demands Poultry
Raiser's Most Careful Attention.

late the heat or ventilate the room or
to supply fresh water. Keep charcoal,
grit. ETC., before them all the time. or
when needed. They naturally love to
scratch, and II given chance will
make the litter fly in digging after tiny
morsels. Keep them scratching. This
can best be done by not overfeeding.
Have an outside room that is little
colder than where the brooder is kept,
Or put the bronder in one side of the
building or room. This will leave the
other side cooler. Remember that
sweating or damp brooders or houses
cold; but chicks must have a. suffi-
ciently warm place to hover whenever
they wish.
To those poultry raisers who brood
by the hen all there is to say is to let
the hen do the brooding. Keep the
hen free from lice and also keep her
dry and keep the coop clean. 1t is no
difficult task; all that is needed is
thoughtfulness and careful attention
Baby chicks will get under the old hen
whenever they feel the need of little
warmth. 1t Is, therefore. very impor-
tant that the hen should be kept dry.
Do not allow the hen her liberty with
her brood for at least four weeks. This
will give the chicks plenty Of oppor-
tunity to become strong. Unless the
grass is short and conditions favorable,
1t Is better not to turn her out as early
as four weeks. The first two weeks,
however. are the most important in the
life of the chick. and the most impor-
tant factor is brooding during that
period. The hen will do that properly
If given the proper place and let alone.
To those operating brooders the best
advice that can be given is, Watch and
follow Instructions" Don't be too big
hearted and overfeed the baby chicks
the first week, as 1t is a well-known
fact that more chicks die as a result
of overfeeding the first week or two
than from any other cause.

To Prevent Candles From Dripping.
Candle light Is one of the 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 a candle economy. shape cork
to fit the candlestick, then drive
through the center shap nail, bring
ing the pointed end out on top. Place
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
socket Make small hole in center
of cork and drive the caster In 1t. II
the cork is large enough to fill the
socket you will have no further trou-

The spring housekeeping is finally
completed by washing and polishing
fixtures and furnishings that require
this treatment. Here are 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 md three ounces Of calcined
mngnesia. Mix thoroughly together.
Use the polish dry with piece Of
channels skin or canton flannel pre-
viously moistened with alcohol, and
finish with dry polish. A few mo-
ments' rubbing will develop 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; pulverize 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 box of
sawdust until required for use.
Britannia ware should be washed
with n woolen 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
