Common Errors in English and

"SoRT Of"

This expression, sort Of" like

ON English "an American provincial

some parts of America and has been
used there for many years. Strictly
speaking. the two expressions, sort

certainly they are not in favor among
careful users of English, and should
be avoided. Especially is this true
when they become "sorter" and kind

Then they are certainly vulgarisms, to
be avoided.

Causes of Tarnish.
The tarniSh on silver is silver sui

are burned. and also in many foods
in wool, in rubber, and in some
bleached and dyed materials.
This is the reason silversmiths rare

be cleaned by the use of certain pow

by friction. by boiling it in a strong

From Lack of Supply of Gar

prepared by the United States Depart

Vegetables should he freely included
in the winter diet as well as in the
summer one. Doctors say that that
tired-out feeling which many people
have at the end of winter-"spring
fever'-Often comes from a lack of
fruits and vegetables in the winter
diet. Plenty of vegetables keep the
children well and make their meals
more appetiZing. Vegetables mashed
and put through q sieve are more cas-
ily digested by little children.
Salts of many kinds are needed by
the body. or it will not work smoothly.
Vegetables and fruit are rich in them
and if you eat q variety you are sure
to get all the kinds of salt you need.
When the water in which vegetables
are cooked Is thrown away, valuable
salts are often wasted. Sometimes the
tlavOrOiS not desirable, but if it Is good
save this water for soup or gravy.
An even better process is 10 cook the
vegetables in as little water as pos
Sible so there is none left to drain of.

vegetables often need only skillful
seasoning To make them taste as good
as the fresh variety.

A small can of spinach. chard. or

Investigations with dried vegetables,
which have been conducted in the eX-
perimental kitchen of the United
States Department of Agriculture
show that provided the dried vegeta-
bles are of good quality they are quite
as satisfactory when they are cooked
without previous soaking, as when
soaked, and oftentimes better.

MAKE SAV0RY FRUIT PASTES
Fruits Is Excelent-Canned
Goods Can Be Used.

Fruit pastes are made from the edi-
BILE portion of fruit which after cook
ing has been passed through a sieve
and cooked again until the excess wa
ter is driven off. Only small amount
of sugar is required. A combination
of different kinds of fruit pulp makes
delightfully."- favored paste. but
peaches alone make a delicious one.
Canned fruit can alS5 be used to make
paste. When the pulp is boiled down
until very thick, pour it in 15-inch
layers on marble or glass slabs or on
platter Place where there is a
strong circulation of air and allow the
paste TO dry for two or three days.
When it is sufficiently dry, cut it into
l-inch squares. Roll in graduated su,
gar and place again in draft. Paste
may be packed in tin boxes, glass jars
or paraffin-cOated containers.

ments to have a fuel value about equal
to that of 80 gallons of gasoline. II
Yields about 10000 cubic feet of puri'

residue, and about 10 gallons of tarry
liquid. The gas, which has a calOriC
ralue of about 400 British therma

Good luster on Silver Is Put on by
Friction Cleaners Although Boiling

by ElectroIysis Is Easier.

to dry, and then polished off with a
soft cloth, channels, or a brush. The
result is bright, lustrOus silver. Pre-
pared cloths, sold under various trade
names, also clean by friction. They
are usually cotton flannel treated with
a cleaning mixture, and are convenient
but sometimes relatively expensive.
The alkaline solution for cleaning
silver.is made by dissOlving four tea
spoons borax. three teaspoons wash
ing soda, or two teaspoons I've (caustic
sOda) in one quart water. The sill
yer is placed in an old kettle or pan,
covered with this solution, boiled for
10 minutes, and cooled in the water.
The EIectrolytic Method.
One method of removing the tarnish
from silver by electrolysis is the fol-
lowing:
Fill an enameled or agateware ket-
tie partly full of water in which has
been dissolved one teaspoon of either
washing soda or baking soda and one
teaspoon salt to each quart of water.
Heat this solution to the boiling point,
put in strips of aluminium or bright
zinc, add the furnished silver, and boil
it. The silver must be covered COM
pletely by the water. and each piece
must be in contact with the aluminium
or the zinc, either directly or through
other silver. When the tarnish has
disappeared the, silver should be re-
moved from the kettle, washed, and
dried with clean, soft cloth. An
aluminium kettle may be used. but II
soon corrodes and must be cleaned
as only clean, bright kettle serves
the purpose. The zinc also grows dull
and then is less active. 1t may be
cleaned, however, i'm water containing
little hydrochlOric (muriatic) acid
which is very poisonous and must be-
handled with extreme care.
Silver cleaned either in an alkalin,
solution or by electrolysis lacks lus
