Frequent busting Keeps
Glass Clean and BRIGHT

Daily or at least frequent busting
of windows and mirrors keeps the
glass clean and bright a long time
without special cleaning. When more
thoroughgoing treatment is necessary,
either liquid or dry cleaners may De
used, says the United States Depart
men Of Agriculture.
The most common liquid cleaners
are clear water, or water to which
washing soda, borax, ammonia, kero-
sene or alcohol has been added. Clear
alcohol is excellent for use In cold
weather, because it does net freeze,
but ii is too expensive for ordinary
use. Soap should be used in a very
light suds, If at all, for it is likely to
leave a film on the glass. With liquid
cleaners good results depend quite as
much upon the method of application
as upon the cleaner itself The best
general method is to dip cloth in the
liquid and wiring it as dry as possible;
then, to wash the glass with this cloth,
using even, overlapping strokes, and
dry it by rubbing briskly with paper,
cloth or chamois. If the liquid dries
without rubbing, the window will be
streaked. On large windows a quick
method Is to use water freely and
wipe ii off with a rubber "squeegee"
drawn smoothly and evenly across the
pane with overlapping strokes. Special
care must be taken to protect the
woodwork from water.
For dry cleaning, whiting or a COM
mercial powder Of the same fineness
is used. The powder is made into
paste with water or alcohol, applied
thinly TO the glass, allowed TO dry
thoroughly, and then rubbed off with a
soft cloth or paper. This is an easy
method of obtaining clear windows
and is good way of cleaning mirrors,
picture glass, and the like, which
might be injured by water. 1t is, how
ever, a dusty process and should be
used before cleaning a room.

Pretty strong Indictment, isn't it?
But the sad part of it is that it is only
too true of large part Of our sum-
mer-population-on If it weren't
true it wouldn't have been necessary
for various official and semi-official
agencies to have taken the steps that
they have taken to curb the activities
of certain type Of motor gypsy who
leaves his good manners at home when
he starts out on a vacation. Among
these agencies are the American Auto
mobile association, which has appealed
TO the motorists themselves TO help
keep the term motor gypsy from be-
ing term Of reproach; several states
have found it necessary to pass laws
TO prevent the extinction of wild flow
ers; state highway boards and state
boards of health have passed strict
road and camp regulations, as have
municipal authorities; and forest
rangers in our national forests and
national park officials have found if
necessary to 'bear down hard" on the
careless ones who litter up campsites
and are negligent about taking the
necessary precautions against start
ing forest fires.
But passing laws will not solve the

Kill All Garden Pests
Before Thew Get Start

As crop insurance for Missouri gar
dens in 1927, Leonard Haseman, en-
tomologist at the Missouri College Of
Agriculture, urges every gardener to
clean up all trash at the first oppor-
tunity.
After burning the trash TO destroy
all alternating insects, pillow the
ground just as soon as the frost is
out sufficiently to permit it. This
will expose many more insects that
live under ground. A later freeze is
likely to kill them and will also i'm
prove the condition of the soil.
Very early in the spring, also, the
war can be carried into the camp of
the garden mole. In the earliest of
his spring runs, while food is scarce,
raisins or scraps Of meat treated with
strychnine will prevent a lot of later
damage to lawn and garden.
All such early measures which re-
duce the numbers of insects and larg-
er pests in advance of warm weather
will prove very effective in prevent
ing large increases in their numbers
and reducing the difficulties Of the
busy gardening season.

Choice Cuts of Lamb

Roast leg Of lamb, broiled lamb
chops and crown rib roast are three
choice cuts of lamb. The United
States Department of Agriculture says
that the method of cooking each Of
these cuts is selected because in each
case the meat is juicy and tender. 1t
should be scared quickly on all sides,
using intense heat, which is then re-
duced so as TO cook the meat through
more slowly, but without adding any
liquid. Other methods of cooking must
be used with the more exercised and
consequently tougher portions of the
lamb.

EGG MARKETING

In connection with its egg marketing
studies, the department has made an
attempt TO find out what amount OF
poultry is handled comparatively in
the United States. There is less in

However. the department says a total
of 12,32S,057 pounds of live poultry
was handled last year by 81 cooper

tons handling dressed poultry report
ed the marketing of 4,O9O,51O pounds

Scalloped Onions and
Peanuts Are Excellent

Scalloped onions and peanuts are
almost like an answer TO the conun-
drum, when is an onion not an
onion?" In this combination the flavor
OF the peanuts blends with that of the
onions and makes something different
from the taste of either alone. This
dish is substantial enough TO serve as
the mainstay at lunch or supper. The
recipe is from the United States De
partment OF Agriculture:

Y to z cupfuls of tablespoonful of
peanuts, ground butter, nd I
l cupful of thin cupful of milk
Cook the skinned onions in boiling
sailed water until tender. Drain the
onions and slice them with a sharp
knife Place the onions in layers in
a creased baking dish, cover each
layer with the cream sauce, and the
peanuts, continue until all the ingre-
dients are used. Cover the top with
buttered crumbs, and bake in a mod
crate oven until golden brown. Serve
from the baking dish.

Not Yet Reached Goal

That the Y. w. G. A. still lacked
a large amount of what is necessary
to continue through 1927 was an
nounced by the general secretary
Saturday afternoon when practically
all reports from the toulouse
subscription canvassing had been
made. Several business firms and
fraternal organizations as well as
out-of- town subscribers whose GUS
tomary subscriptions are liberal have
not been heard from yet and these
are expected to reduce the deficit
considerably, leaving, however, a
large amount still necessary to be
raised if the Y. w. c. A. is to be
kept open.
'The $2,973 asked of the community
is to cover the expenditures of an
economy budget, based on limited
expenditures of the past year and the

1926 With the latter basis which
is the soundest known financial policy
for budgeting, and considering i'm
