IN years to come.
Work now in progress is
under the supervision of John

to give adequate maintenance
to the road as soon as com.

smooth, easy graded road for
the heavy traffic that is bound

CLEANING KITCHEN
UTENSILS

The foundation of most
cleaning pastes and powders
is whiting; consequently if the
housewife will buy this by the
pound she will save much eX-
pense," advises Miss K. d.
Washington, Nutrition Spe-
cialist, Extension Service, Co
dorado Agricultural College.
whiting costs less per pound
than a box of prepared silver
paste containing considerably
less whiting. If whiting is
moistened with water it acts
as a splendid medium tor
cleaning most metals or stains
from glass. The following So
lutions are even more effective
in case it is a spot difficult tc
remove: Whiting and alcohol
for silver; whiting and ammo
MIA for silver and nickel; whit
ing and dilute acid tor brass
and copper.

Free Class in Jewish History.

l have been asked if l would not con-
duct a class of study in Jewish history,
and if so at what cost to the students?
If l can have class who are really
willing to make study of this very in
teresting subject, will be glad to give
my time to one recitation period per
week. The only expense to the students
will be the text book. There is splen-
did book just off the Abingdon Press.
called Life and Times of the He
brews," by Harold B. Hunting. that l
should like to use. The price is $l.25.
The teachers in the Sunday Schools OF
the town should be especially interested
in the study, and l would be delighted
to have them. Children would hardly
care to be in the class. Any one in the
town caring for such a study, please
call me on the phone or see Inc any
where and give me your name and
will order the books we need. If we
are to have the class, let's get to work
as soon as possible, because l shall be
crowded for time further on in the year
Such a class can be made a real profit
and pleasure if we take studiously
hold of it. 1t has been my pleasure
both as student and a teacher. to dt
special work in this line, and l vii
gladly give the class my best efforts.
