The Wingham Times, 1914-11-12, Page 3November 12th 9I4 Hints for the Home, Keys of a piano can be cleaned by wiping them with milk. Store silver in green ,baize bags, or in drawers lined with baize. All spots of mud on dresses will dis- appear if rubbed with a raw potato. Never intrig oil paintings over the fire- place, as heat causes them to wrinkle. Mixing ammonia with your stove Polish will prevent the stove from rust- ing. Equal parts of paraffin and vinegar make a capital polish for the case of a piano. Linen is a very fair conductor of electricity, but silk is an almost perfect inaulator. Old stocking legs covered with part of an old kid glove will make an excel- lent iron -holder. If bacon is soaked in water for a few minutes before frying it will prevent the fat from running. Egg shells crushed and put in glass bottles with warm water will clean and polish them beautifully. When boiling fowls or fish add to the water in which they are boiled the juice of half a lemon, This will make them beautifully white. A smoky lamp is often the result of a dogged and dirty wick. Take the burner out of the lamp and soak it in a little strong washing soda and hot water, then thy thoroughly, and the lamp will burn much better. A very good way to prevent a cracked wash hand basin from breaking is to paint along the crack with white paint, Then place along it a piece of wide tape, the length of the creek. Paint well over thie, and when dry it will be as firm as cement and last for years. Carpets should be rubbed with a damp cloth rather than brushed, and if it is at all necessary to brush them this should be done by means of a covered sweeper with plenty of damp tea-leavee, Of all ways of removing dirt from a carpet, the worst is by the use of the ordinary short brush, which involves kneeling down in the dust.

Sir I3enjamin Stone, dean of photo- graphers of public events, who has just died at the age of seventy-six in England, represented East Birm- ingham in Parliament for fifteen years. At a complimentary lunch- eon given him by members of the House of Commons he once was call- ed "photographer -in -chief to the Speaker and the House of Com- mons." From youth he was a great travel- er and his difficulty in purchasing scenes of the places he visited was what turned him into a photographer himself. As long ago as 1.868 he be- gan a pictorial record of the life of the nations. He'interested others in this work, and the immense stores of photographs in the British Museum are the direct result. In the course of the sitting of the , first sitting of the First Parliament of which he was a meraber he took a picture of every member and of officials and Journalists as well. On the occasion of the Coronation of King Edward; Sir Benjamin took about 300 photographs, which were very useful te the officials who pre- pared the ceremony when King George succeeded. Sir Benjamin's most amusing tra- veling experiences was when he went, to Brazil to photograph the eclipse of the sun, He stayed for a time at Sears, and while he was there a revolution broke out. The gover- nor had become unpopular and the soldiers rose and "fired" him out. Sir Benjamin made arrangements with a photographer to get pictures of the incidents, and the way the soldiers posed for the camera was quite like comic opera. They had placed cannon across the streets wherein the governor's palace was situated, and when they were ready to begin tha attack they all stood up and posed for the picture. When the governor had bolted and they had secured the battered palace, they sent back for the photographer to come and take more pictures. Another adventure was in China. ,He had been "taking" a• temple, when he noticed that a large crowd had gathered, so he turned round in order to get a picture of the mob. There was a great murmuring, which grew into a hubbub. He ask- ed the guide what the matter was, and he replied, "They -say that you have taken their spirit from them." "Nonsense," Sir Benjamin retorted, "I have taken nothing from them." • "Haven't you got their likeness in your box?" the guide inquired, and when this was admitted he remarked triumphantly, "Then, how can you say that you have taken nothing?" It was an opportunity for blackmail not to be missed, and the photo- grapher had to distribute large sums before he was allowed to depart in peace. Strictly Logical. Prof. Sudbury, who was extremely nearsighted, went to the barber's, sat down and allowed himself to be shaved. When the artist was done with la.ins he did not move, and for awhile nobody disturbed him. But other customers began to arrive, and the chair was needed. The head bar- ber, suspecting that his learned pa- tron had fallen asleep, asked his boy to wake him, The professor heard him. "No, my good man," he said, "I am not asleep. The fact is I am fright- fully nearsighted. When I took my glasses off just now I was no longer ,able to see myself In the mirror op- posite. Naturally I supposed I had already gone home." NERVE'S WERE BAD Hands Would Tremble So She Could Not Hold Paper to Read. When the nerves become shaky the whole system seems to become unstrung and a general feeling of collapse occurs, as the heart works in sympathy with the nerves. Mrs. Wm. Weaver, Shallow Lake, Ont., writes: "I doctored for a year, for my heart and nerves, with three different doctors, but they did not seem to know what was the matter with me. My nerves got so bad at last that I could not hold a paper in my hands to read, the way they trembled. I gave up doctoring thinking I could not get better. A lady living a few doors from inc ad- vised me to try a box of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, so to please her I did, and I am thankful to -day for doing so, for I am strong, and doing my own work without help.' lVfilburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are 50 cents per box, 3 hoses for $1.25; at all druggists or dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of price by The 'I', Milbutsa Co., Limited, Tdronto, Otte The Dominon Goverronent has strictly warned German papers to maintaie neutral or else a pro -British attitude.

A POSITIVE CURE FOR RHEUMATISM Hundreds of People Have Found "Fruit -a -fives" Their Only Help READ THIS LETTER Superintendent of Sunday School in Toronto Tells How He Cured Himself of Chronic Rheumatism After Suffer,. ing for Years. 55 DOVERCOURT ROAD, Oct, 1St. 1993.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. Per a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease and prescrib- ed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitu- tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F J Cheney & Go, ['cried°, Ohio, is the only constitutional euro on the market. It is taken in- ternally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

It Has Been Destroying Wheat In Westa . . ern Kansas -Preventive Measures. The mysterious worm which lute been repotted to be destroying wheat In western Kansas is noae other than the common clayback cutworm, ac- cording to George A.' Dean, professor of entomology In the Kansas State Agricultural college. When the first report of damage was received. an entomologist was Sent Int° the infested region. Infestation was found to be confined practically, to wheat fields containing much volun- teer wheat and to grass lands and ati Celia fields. Unless weather condition are unfavorable for growing crops, the worms will probably, says the elate. mologihts, cause no great loss of thei wheat crop. Preventive measures are best for controlling cutworms. if the wheat fields are plowed during the slimmer and the volunteer wheat is kept down until after seeding there is very little, danger. Cutworms often migrate from field to field, in which case a good dust barrier should be constructed in which the worms may be destroyed. Where the Worms aro nilg,rating or fire cen. centrated hi a small area, they can probably be killed by using the poison bran mash employed against grass- hoppers. This should be soWei hi the evening along the edge of the fielft that the worms are entering.

The fuudamental basis of good ereamery management is a simple, practical bookkeepleg or accounting eystem. No creantery operator, regard. less of his natural ability, can know tbe details of his business unless he keeps records of each department. The human mind is incapable of retaining sompletely a mass of details, and un- less a thorough knowledge of each phase of a business is available leaks ar losses creep in unnoticed. With the facts and figures beforehim the creatn. ery manager Is constantly in a posi- tion to tnalse operation most efficient. Under such conaitions most managers are striving at all times to add allied Hues that shall be a source of income. Many creameries must change their methods very radically in order to get on a profitable basis. They must, how- ever, know their time condition •before they will be justified iu inaking a rad- ical change, and hence they should in- stall a good system of keeping records, as it is in this way only that true con- ditions can be learned. "Lack of time and help" is no excuse for failure to keep a good set of books so long as the success of the creamery depends so largely on the proper handling of the finances. When the erearnery has dis- covered where losses are its methods may be chauged to advantage. For Tightening Fences.

THE .,"ENTENTE CORDIALE." Bismarck Once Gave a Striking Defini. • tion Oahe Term. In the newspapers of today we very often find the words entente cordiale. Most readers understand the meaning of the expression, but it is rather diffi- cult to make a translation that ex- presses the exact meaning of' the orig- inal French. Prince Bismarck gave a good explanation when his daughter asked him what the entente cordiale really was. "Well," he said, "It is not so easy to define literally. It means a cordial un- derstanding, but it also has a little different significance, For example: You were in the courtyard this morn- ing when 1 cause from the garden with Nero. Diana was in the yard, gnaw- ing. a large bone. My Nero saw ber and ran to seize the bone. Then there was a little tight, until I struck them a few shnial blows with my cane. "After that the bone lay in the mid- dle of the court, while both dogs stood off at some distance and looked eagerly at it. Erieb dog. In fact, was as anx- ious to keep the other away RS Ile was afraid of my cams and therefore nei- ther ventured to seize it. You see, that Is what they call in diplomatic circles an entente cordiale." - Youth's Cons - minion Thirteenth Century Fire Prevention.

For instance, ell builderof houses were ordered to roof them with tiles. shingle boards or eat], and to stop an outbreak any house could be pulled down. Thus, Mr. El. B.
