Young Dancers
Entertain Aitkin
Study Body

Misses Ernestine Thompson and
Avis Ware, young Minneapolis
dancers, were guest artists at
matinee and an evening basketball
game at Aitkin, MINI.
They were warmly greeted by
posters, students, and teachers so
it was no effort for them to put
their hearts and souls into their
performances. Miss Thompson said,
"The whole. school was really
HEPPED and ON in its apprecia-
ton of SOLID MUSIC and nitric
ate dancing. The ultra-modern
auditorium, congeniality of the stu
dents and faculty made the day a
perfect holiday and we certainly
hope other similar opportunities
present themselves soon and very
often"

CALCIUM
The Great Human
Need

People of all ages need calcium
and few today get q sufficient
amount Of it for the greatest or
most abundant health.
The best and the cheapest source
of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food,
the greater the need for more of
dairy products is the regular every.
day diet of all Of US.
Fresh fluid pasteurized milk
daily in some form should be used,

False Ideas Spring Up.
People collected antiques for many
wears before Homer Eaton Keyes
and F.. E. Atwood of Boston founded
the magazine Antiques. Then arti-
cles had to be written, and notions
lunches and guesses about antiques
had to be thrown overheard to make
way for information gained by labo-
rious research.
One day. among the junk dis
carded from a druggists shop, there
was found an early catalogue of
pressed glass. This catalogue an
swered so many questions about
pressed glass that dozens of pet

practical value of old catalogues was

Basement Storage
OF Canned Goods and
Fruit Saves Money
Good Set of Racks and
Bins Con Be Used
Year After Yeur

One of the best of many good,
old American customs was the stor-
age of the winters food supply.
The idea is still good-you can buy
food cheaper in large quantities at
the proper season. Why not equip
the basement for fruit and canned
goods storage this winter?
If you have a garden, you no
doubt have on hand already mis-
cellaneous assortment of fruits and
home preserves awaiting proper
storage space. Every can and jar
of such home kept foods means just
that much less cash outlay next
winter for food.
Last wear. according to the rec
ords of the Agriculture Depart
ment, 513.O24 families in 1904 coun-
ties reported savings by putting up
62.38S.l 1872 quarts of fruits and veg
etables and 16O76, ,399 quarts of jams
and lellies.
Generally speaking, a family of
five needs $50 cans of leafy vegeta-
hles l35 cans of tomatoes and citrus
fr1lits. l25 cans of rich protein foods
and 50 cans Of preserves and Jellles.
The size of the cans may be varied
tn suit the size of the family, count
ing on quart Jars or cans for families
of four or five people. The minimum
nuantitv of vegetables includes 7l2
quarts of greens, Is quarts of toma-
toes and 7l2 quarts of other veg
etables. with a like proportion OF
fruits and about 10 cans of pre-
serves.
Once a good set of storage racks
and bins has been provided, they
will serve year after year. The ma
terial to build new storage space
will cost very little and, If you are
halfway handy, you can do the
Job yourself.
You can be sure of the highest
degree of keeping" quality in your
storeroom if YOU build the shelves off
the floor and away from the walls
to give the air chance to clrcu-
late. You can make doubly certain
by having the shelves Slated . =.
l012 to II inches apart, and 10 to
IL inches wide and by providing
the storage bins with wire shelves
and perforated sides.
If there are some vegetables you
want to store out of doors, choose
a high, weli-drained place, sweep
the ground clear, cover deep with
hay or straw, top with u inches of
dry dirt. pile up the vegetables and
mound them over with earth, in
~, small fiues as air vents.

Fingerprint Remover
For Various Finishes

Finger marks on white enamel
are best cleaned with turpentine and
a soft cloth. This does not remove
the gloss as soap and water often
do. For finger marks on painted
wood. use damp cloth dipped in
whiting and rub lightly. Rinse with
a damp cloth and rub dry. Finger
marks on varnish yield to washing
with a soap Jelly to which whiting
has been added. Polish with cheese
cloth dipped in water and moistened
with a few drops of lemon oil.
For water spots on polished wood
use a small piece of cheese cloth
dipped in very hot water. Put two
or three drops of ammonia on the
cloth. Rub the spot lightly and
quickly, and instantly rub dry with
a soft cloth. Oil the entire surface.
To clean wicker or rattan, blow
dust out and use white soap jelly
to which has been added p cup of
common salt for each quart of hot
water and z cup of soap fakes.
This will keep the wicker from turn
ing yellow. Dry in shady place
out-of-doors.
