French Polishing Gives Furniture

urated with this solution and the
wood is treated to an extended
process of rubbing. During this rub
bing process the skillful polisher
at intervals adds to the solution
a drop of raw linseed Oil or sweet
oil and allows this to be spread
over the surface with the shellac
gum, flowing lightly from the sat-
urated linen pad. This process has
TO be continued according to the
size of the article for about an
hour and then allowed to dry over
night and the same operation re-
peated the next day and a third
time a few days afterwards. The
final application is made about a
week later.
1t is possible to obtain, with the
French polishing process, any de-
sired effect from a thin patina fin
ish to an eggshell finish or high pol
ish. If an eggshell finish is desired
the polisher should be informed of
this when beginning the work, as he
will have to reduce the use of oil to
a minimum. When the surface is
finished it should be left to dry for
one day. The polisher should then
take q pad of wadding saturated
with turpentine and quickly moisten
the whole surface. Over this he
should sprinkle fine pumice powder
evenly and moderately. With a soft
brush, like a shoe polishing brush,
he brushes the pumice with the
grain of the wood until it has alb
sorbed all the turpentine Then he
wipes the surface clean, rubbing al
ways with the grain of the wood.
and the result will be an even, dull
eggShell finish.
The amount of Shellac used in
French polishing is almost negligible

Health Association Reviews
It's Activities of 1910

For the Health Associ alton, 1910 vas year of
growth not Of membership alone but of medical
vices and facilities. A survey just completed
places the sterilization of finances and the pub
Hshing of monthly paper high the list of
achievements during the year.
The steady increase in membership ich began in
February 1899 continued all through 1910, moving up
from 285 families in January to $40 families at the
end Of December. More than 10 percent all Green
belt households now belong to the Greenbelt Health
Association.
One factor in this growth, according to members
of the board of directors is general ecogn ton of

In the matter of finances the Association was
able to complete replacement capitol fund an
equal to the S. membership fee paid in by
each member. This fund is used for the purchase of
equipment and other items of slow depreciation.
Equipment purchased during 1910 includes a dia-
thery machine, especially useful in the treatment
of sinus disorders, new ultraviolet ray lamp,
new examination table, and several smaller items.
Ed Walther, chairman of the equipment comm ttee,
points out that this availability Of equipment for
the patients is Of the advantages cooperative
and group medical practice, since few ind vidual
doctors can afford complete clinical equipment them
selves.
During the year the Association was able to
strengthen its labor policy by giving increases in
salary and in providing and sick leave for
its employees.
