the dangers of everyday life are be-

Pedestrians are being taught to

INSIDE INFORMATION

A good home made furniture polish
is made by mixing one part of raw
linseed oil with two parts of turpen-
tine. A little melted beeswax may
be added.
Here's a good menu for company
lunch at this season: Chicken loaf;
asparagus; hot Sally Lunn; ice
cream with fresh strawberry sauce;
angel food cake.
Cooked rice has a good many uses
besides being served for dinner IN
place of pot2to or as a breakfast
cereal. Put it in soups; combine 1t
with baked and steWed dishes; use
it in waffles, spoon bread, mullins
cookies, and even in sponge cake;
use it in salads; make it into des-
serts, such as farmers pudding or
custard rice pudding, or rice with
stewed fruits or preserves.
Ice cream manufacturers are eX-
perimenting in the use of a honey
for sweetening theinr product, and
some are using it regularly, espec-
tally for sherberts. When cane SUI
gar is used in sherberts it precipl-
tates rather quickly, so the product
must be used PROMPTLY. Honey is
an invert sugar and does not crys-
tallize when mixed in sherbert.
Ordinary drain tiles or 4 inches
in inside diameter and l foot in
length are very good for blanchlng
celery in the home garden. The bum
ches should first be tied together
with string and the tiles slipped
down over the tops of the punches.
Drain tiles are especially desirable
because they produce celery of good
flavor. If heavy paper is used Tor
blanching, it should not contain tar
or creosote, as these will injure the
flavor of the celery.
Splendid results in controlling the
chicken mite and fowl tick have
been secured through the application
of some of the heavy coal-tar distil-
lates. such as anthracene oil, togeth-
er with the construction of simple
demountable roosts and nests. The
fowl tick not only continues to be a
menace to poultry raising in the
South, but it is constantly invading
new territory. Although this pest is
particularly we'll adapted to cond1-
tions in the arid and semiarid South
west, it seems able to adapt itself to
the more humid sections of the coun-
try.

the wider use of steam heating in
this country.
There is a possibility that the
scientist has mistaken the result
for the cause. One informed on
customs and conditions OF both
countries comes to the conclusion
that the equable but generally cooler
climate of England results in the
wearing of heavier clothing there
and that the heavier apparel makes
lower temperature indoors more
acceptable.
The winters are colder and the
summers hotter in the United States
than on the British Isles, so the
American wears thinner and lighter
clothing the year around, depending
upon warm buildings to keep him
warm in winter In England chang
ing seasons do not necessitate such
radical changes in the thickness OF
mans "fur" as would be required
here if house and Office were not so
well heated, so the Britisher wears
his heavier garments and saves his
coal supply.

friends for their kindness during the
funeral of my husband, John Evans,
who was drowned Sunday, July 9Th,

When you buy your fruits or veg

YOU sure that it contains full meas

The use of temporary pastures for
sheep aids greatly in the prevention
of infection by stomach worms and
other internal parasites. Most flocks
have some degree of infection from
stomach worms and in seasons OF
high temperature and excessive
moisture these parasites are most
likely to spread. Young lambs are
especially susceptible to INJURY
from parasites and will be exposed
to less danger if moved to fresh
ground at intervals of about two
weeks than if permitted to remain
longer on the same fields. Two
weeks is the longest time that one
piece of ground should be grazed by
lambs during the warm part OF the
season. Older sheep are less sus-
ceptible than lambs and may be al
lowed to use up feed left in fields
from which the lambs have been re-
moved.

To Make The World Safer
Every year in the United States
hundreds of thousands of men, wo-
men and children are killed, maim-
ed and injured in automobile and
traffic accidents, grade crossing
crashes and in the mines, factories,
homes and elsewhere. Some OF
these accidents are in a sense una
voidable, but by far the greatest
number of them are the result of
carelessness, negligence or down.
right recklessness.
Can the public be taught to be
cautious? It is in the belief that it
can be that ''No-Accident Week" was
organized and is being observed.
