How / Use Asbestos Paper-Has any
one else discovered what q great help
asbestos paper is In baking? Anything
In the oven can be kept from browning
too much BY putting one or two sheets
of asbestos paper over 1t, without dan.
ger of burning. as ordinary paper does.
II the bottom of the oven is too hot,
some asbestos paper can be slipped un-
der the pan. A piece OF 1t can also be
put under pan on top OF the stove.

An Ant Preventive-A few years ago
We did light housekeeping in Bermuda,
where We found tiny red ants great
pest. Food materials, like butter, can
dy, cake, etc., were imm ediately COW
cred with them IL left exposed. One
day, by accident, some fudge was left
on the pantry shelf on small aluminium
plate and, much to our surprise, was
discovered In tho morning free from
ants. By experimenting, we found that
anything could be safely left on the
aluminium plates, In Florida, the next
winter, the red ants were again annoy
ing, especially In the bread-box. By
placing the box on an aluminium plate,
We found We had no trouble. Then
later, In Iowa, our cook found "a sugar
can into which the ants had penetrated.
After freeing the can of the ants, We put
It into an aluminium dish, and In the
morning there we're absolutely no ants
'nthe can. Our experience is limited,
but this seems to ~ like q real discov-
Try, and We should like to see 1t tried
~ others.-A. l., Ia.
a Timely Warning-After seeing q
child severely burned once, never hest
rate to give the following warning: Al
ways be sure that the spout Of the tea
kettle 10 turned away from the outside |
edge OF your gas range. The steam will
not come out Of It then on your ohild's
face or arms Is he rushes past, but will
escape toward the back Of the stove. |
Take the SAme precautiou with the
handles OF oil kettles. Turn them away
from the front Of tho stove 90 that they |

About the Thermos Bottle MY dIscov-
cries In relation to therm0s bottles are
30 valuable to myself that am anxious
to pass them on to others. The FIRST
bottle bought WAS Of American make
and comparatively cheap. When I COM
planned to the dealer OF whom I pur-
chased 1t that It preserved coffee no
more than lukewarm, he told me could
expect nothing better Of the price. Il
was another salesman who gave ine tho
Information that this fault wss caused

tried thIs method have bad no more
trouble. Again, I, was bothered BY 81
nustiness Of smell and taste until some

New illumination.

Prof. Alexander Silverman has In
vented a new illumination for the MI
croscope. whose special advantage Is
that II gives a very strong light upon
the object examined, so that opaque
and translucent bodies can be as
readily studied as transparent ones
The top Of the object on the side can
be seen with all the variations Of Its
surface. It Is particularly valuable
in testing samples Of metals since II
shows the presence Of blow holes ami
pits and much detail not hitherto
visible. II Is likewise, useful to tex
tile expe, rs since II shows the threads
of a fabric from every angle and Is
also much appreciated by bacteriolo
giSts.

TOCLEAR CUT "TONICS"

The Washington. police department
has been asked to join in a campaign
to eradicate from the market prepa-.
rations masquerading under the name
of tonics or other innocuous prepara-,
tions, but which are really claimed to
be lintoXicants. =
Thomas E. Stone, prohibition agent
for the Ohio Maryland district, in
cluding the District Of Columbia, has
asked Mai. Gessford. chief of police.
to aid him in abolishirig any prepara-'
tions which may exade the prohibition
law under the guise Of tonic or other
harmless name. -
Stone furnished Mai. Gessford with
the names of seventeen preparations.
all of which are said to be on, sale in
Washington in delicatessen stores
and near-beer saloons. The prepara-'
tfons, have been. examined by the
chemists of the internal revenue bu-,
reau and have been found to contain
alcohol in content above the limita-
tions of the Volstead act.
The police department is expected
first to direct its attack on. manufac-
urers of these preparations in WASH

Two Cabinet Members Welcome
Orphans adopted BY. McCully

Secretary Daniels today officially
welcomed the seven little Russian
orphans. adopted by Rear Admiral
Newton McCully into the Navy fam
ily." The admiral called at the de-
partment, and for half an hour the
usually quiet Office Of the Secretary
looked like a Russian kindergarten.
Mr.. Daniels said afterward that. al
though qualified as an expert inter
prefer of 'baby talk because of his
own large family, he found some DIFF
flculty in understanding it in Russian.
During a picture-taking ceremony all
seven of the youngsters insisted on
sitting on either the Secretary's or
the admirars lap, and the pair were
literally smothered in Russian chill
dren. It took strategy to. let the
