qualities but may lack others, because
all characterlstics are not developed

has a perfect flavor it may lack body;
1f it has body it is perhaps without the

KEEP THE SINK SHINING.
Soap jelly, which is made by dis-
solving a large bar of soap in two
quarts of boiling water and two table-
spoonfuls of kerosene is a great help
in keeping the sink white and shining.
I keep a glass of soap jelly on the sink
shelf, and when the dishes are finish-
ed put a little on a cloth, kept for that
purpose, and rub well over the sink.
Then wash with clear water and the

SUCCESS OF BRITISI-I •

Considerable attention was paid a

The British Industries, the largest and
most powerful organization of maul:
flicturers and producers in the world
which stands primarily for the ebjeo'
tivo of ,the development of inte1'Bni'
Piro trade. It induced a number of
firms, of its meniberahip, to bo repre-
sented in exhibits, and in addition,
several individual' business houses, fol•
lowing its lead, organized their sepal,
ate exhibits, The entire represente-
d 1 13'111511 industries constituted
a comparatively small exhibit, but It
was in the nature of an experiment, or
rather, it would be more exact to say
that the leaders of the Federation
were content to let it go as. a. small
exhibit to prove the value of such and
permit it to grow with future yeah,
A lengthy and comprehensive re
port publisbed by the Federation testi.
fies to the outstanding and unqualified
success from the British exhibitors'
point of view, The Federation, as an
organization seeking the best Interests
of British manufacturers and the de•
velopment of Empire markets, is en
tirely eatlslied with the results
achieved, and individual exhibitors
are enthusiastic over the success of
their single representations; The
opinion is unanimous that consider-
able advantageous trade may be de-
veloped by this means.

means. It stresses particularly tbe
growing international character of the
Canadian exhibition, the representa-
tion from the United States, France,
Cuba, and Mexico, and brings out, as
a striking fact, that a conservative es-
timate places the total number of
United States visitors to the exhibi-
tion at over 200,000, and that on one
single afternoon 8.500 American auto-
mobiles were parked in the exhibition
grounds,
It was with the utmost gratilicetion
that Canada saw the flrst concerted re-

minion is naturally further gretned to

"This exhibition," said one British
manufacturer, "is without doubt an

with the Federation's trope that the
