Children's ribbons also made like new. In renovating her own wardrobe she j had discovered a simple mixture that Cleaned perfectly, She used it in the chalk form for gloves and in the li- quid form for ribbons. Soon orders began to come in from people who liar} light gloves that soil- ed easily and from mothers who must make a few ribbons do long service for their little girls. They are still com- ing. The average number of gloves re- ceived on week days, except Saturday is fifteen pairs, and on Saturday as ninny as sixty pairs. As the material used costs this girl only two cents for a pair, she clears more than four dol- lars a week on gloves alone. The rib- bons come in at the average rate of ten yards a day, and sometimes as 'much as seventy-five yards on Satur- day. The cost of cleaning a yard of ribbon is one and a half cents and the (charge is five cents, so that that branch of the work brings in four dol-' lars and thirty-five cents a week. She' clears altogether about eight dollars and forty-two cents a week. Ono advantage of that kind of work is that the worker can systematize her labors in such a way as to leave the afternoons and evenings free, The pressing and cleaning is not easy, but a girl who undertakes the work can step for rest and recreation when she is tired. Many other girls could turn the plan to account, for the number of ribbons and gloves that need cleaning and freshening is remarkable, and after 1 all the venture requires no capital ea- I cept industry and patience, A hint For a Savory Supper. • On cold winter evenings, after a day spent in the frosty out of doors, a supper party is always welcome.

In 1908, according to Government stalls - tics, only 36 per cent, of Canada's pulpwood cut was manufactured in the Dominion, whereas 64 per cent. was exported raw. In 191.7, over 70 per cent. was manufactured in Cana- da, less than 30 per cent. being ex- ported in a raw slate.

Prospective increases in the capaci- ty of Canadian plants will bring the production of newsprint during the coming year to a total of 890,000 tons —an increase of 156,000 tons, or over 21 per cent. The importance of all this in the maintenance and development of the economic structure of Canada 01111 scarcely be over-erepleasized. Ob- viously, it would l:e the poorest kind of public policy for the respective pro- vincial governments to relax the exist- ing embargoes upon the export of raw pulpwood cut from Crown lands. Such a course would inevitably mean reduc- ing the supplies of raw material avail. able for Canadian Mille, as well as the more rapid depletion of our pulpwood forests, resulting in their comparative exhaustion within a measurable period of time. About 1,000,000 cords of pulp- wood is now exported in a raw state, all cut from Iambi in private owner- ship, Practically all of tlils goes to the United States. Preserve the Forests. The phenomenal growth and de- velopment of the pulp and paper in- dustry in Canada serves strongly to emphasize the urgent need for the per- petuation of our great pulpwood forests, in order that this great indus- try may be permanent instead of mere- ly transltory, as has proved to be the case in the greater portion of the eastern United States.
