To Keep Furs.—Every housewife knows what a great worry furs and woollen garments are during the summer months, when moths are so ready to destroy any within their reach. Take a five gallon -crock and after sunning and brushing the furs place thein in the erock, then *Liver with a heavy piece of wrapping paper which is glued fast to the crock, making it absolutely air tight and there are no cracks or crevices for moths to ,enter. This can be kept in a dry cellar all sum- mer, or if you have no cellar or clothes press get a large tin lid to fit :the crock and make a cover of cretonne and use for a corner seat in any room, and save all worry over moths for the summer. Mothproof.—In packing away furs for the slimmer, and to avert dan- ger from moth, air the furs on a cloudy day. Do not hang them out in the sunshirle. 'soiled, sprinkle with cornmeal and rub with a cloth the *ay the fur runs. Shake well, place them in large paper flour bags. Tie tightly and hang them in a closet or put them away in a chest and you will never, never be trou- bled with moths. No need to pack away with • the odorous camphor, moth balls, or tar paper. Experi- ence has proven that the above me- thod is the only. safe and satisfac- tory method of preserving one's furs. , When cooking wild ducks they are often found to taste "fishy." This may be taken away by skinning the ducks before they are cooked.

RADIUM CLUE TO CANCER. Secret May Be Unearthel Ily 1 40 Ild0.11 Physkians. 'While it is nut yet possible to say that a cure for canter has been found, some very tangible results have been obtained from the -ex- perimental work a which the Mid- dlesex (England) Hespital is the chief London centre.

The absolute antithesis of this case was seen when Mr. Peter Van Vliseengen, the well-known Chica- go philanthropist, was arrested in September, 1908, chaaged with the forgery of mortgages to the extent of about $1,100,000. Van Vlissengen had risen from bank messenger to bank manager in less than twenty years, and was known far and wide for his great gifts to charitbk associations and 'clumehee. He could have lived more than comfortably upon his honest earn- ings, yet preferred to perpetrate 'extensive forgeries apparently for the sole reason of posing as a phil- anthropist. At his trial he confes- sed he had effected the" forgeries • by the aid of a powerful electric. lamp under a glass cover on his desk.
