Flat table silver seem to be the
hardest part of the diswashing on
ones hands. The hot water hurts
and reddens the dishwasher's hands
most uncomfortably. Ar easy way
to rinse the knives and forks and
spoons is to put them into colander.
The colander may be set into larger
pan of scalding water to rinse the
silver and then lifted out and put
on the draining board while the sill
yer is being wiped. The very hot
water makes silver wipe much more
easily and keeps it brighter.

Earle Williams has a strenuous Job
fighting food profiteers in his latest pic
ture ct Can Be Done" comedy drama,
which is at the Alhambra Thursday and
for the rest Of the week.
At first glance this would not appear
to be a very romantic job, but Mr.. VIII
nams finds plenty of romance in 1t.
The story deals with campaign waged
In relentless fashion against band OF
profiteers by the editor of a newspaper
in a small American city.
The star is cast as Austin Crane, author
of a series OF super Raffles stories that
have attracted the editors attention, and
seeking to enlist Cranes ability in his
fight he engages the author to write
a series of articles exposing the methods
of the food sharks. Crane enters into
the contract with but little enthusiasm
for the reason that one Of the chief
offenders is the father of a girl whom he
intends to marry.
After his first article he suffers from
an attack of cold feet" and discarding
his writing plans, he takes matters into
his own hands and shows how it Is pos
sible for one man to bring about gen
eral reduction in the price of foodstuffs
without publicity Of a sort which would
