lies. 1t will save the most highly
polished table of damnness.
To make cherry cocktail. use red or
white cherries, stone, drain and then
sprinkle with shredded cocoanut.
The tops of high winter shoes should
be carefully folded down in order to
allow all air possible into the interior.
Fer scrubbing floors cold water is
preferable to hot; it does not soak into
the wood so readily and consequently
dries sooner.
The scribbing brush should always
be moved up and down the boards ac-
corGing TO the grain of the wood, and
not across it.
In making buttelmilk or sour milk
doughnuts, the grain will be much
finer if the soda is mixed with the
flour instead of with the buttermilk.
Kerosene or gasoline should be ap-
piled to the machine at intervals. This
cuts the hardened oil that may have
accumulated.
Make baking powder biscuits in the
usual way, then when ready to roll out
mix with cup Of clean dry currants
or chopped raisins.
In making pies that sae juicy brush
over the bottom crust with the unbeat-
en- white of an egg-it will prevent
the crust absorbing the juice.

Several close friends of Willie
Hacker, that fast coming lightweight
boxer, are anxious to see him in an
other match with Chet Neff, just to
show how easy the Los Angeles boy
will be for the Ell Centre boxer, and
they are willing to dig up any amount
up to $1,000 which says Willie can
beat him.
Eddie Campbell, the we'll known
Mexicali sporting man, has offered to
bet $500 that Hacker can stop Neff
in 10 rounds. Hacker is willing to
step anytime as he is in perfect con-
dition ,eXceot for his car which is still
bothering some.
These bows have met twice over the
Is round distance. The first battle
was called draw and the second was
won by Hacker on points.

ROAD DRAGGING

That roads can be kept open in
winter very easily with road drags
was demonstrated in Montpelier last
week when private interests dragged
Main street preparatory to the team
race which was staged Saturday af-
ternoon. The road drag made fine
Job OF it, leaving the street covered
with hard crust of snow and max
ing it a good road for all purposes.
The process would work equally as
well on the country highways, and
could be accomplished at nominal
expense.

PROTECT THE
HORSES

It ia not an uncommon thing to
walk down the street any night and
see teams and saddle horses tied to
poles until late hours in the night
without the slightest protection
from the cold. There are many thot-
full drivers, too, who cover their
horses with blankets before they
leave them, and this is the right
thing to do.
When q team is drawn upto tie
post after long trip, wet with per-
spiration, and left OF stand tied to
a pole until after a show or dance
in zero weather, there Is no telling
the suffering these animals pass
through, and 1t would be the right
thing for the officers OF the law 10
gather up all uncovered horses and
find shelter for them In the livery
barns at the expense OF the owners.

are without collars, and II so there
would be big time in store for To-
cal nimrods If officials would give
the word shoot to kill"
1T seems that there are hundreds Of
dogs running at large in the city, and
we doubt IL ten per cent Of the NUM-
Der are worth the scraps they are
fed on. It is very common sight to
see from six to ten of these worthless
congregated in a bunch and making
it very uncomfortable for pedestri-
ans to pass along Main street, to say
nothing Of the extremely embarras-
sing situations caused by their pre-
sence. Let's have regular dog
day" and clean up about 30 per cent
of them, and give the good dogs
fair chance to become what their
owners would like to make them.
