AWAY WITH DRY SWEE°ING
Unsanitary and Dangerous, the Mod-
am Houtawifa Should Substitute
DuatlCM Cleaning Methods.
The various method# of dusUeaa
cleaning are deservedly popular In
these days of preventive medicine.
Dust Is dangerous to health. Air
germs" are mostly dust germs, and
the number of disease germs In the
air Is usually In direct proportion u>
the amount of dust contained In It.
Disease germs which are cast Into
dry, dustless air soon lose their pow-
er to cause disease. Uut wheu they
can attach themselves to dust parti-
cles, they are protected and retain the
moisture which Is necessary for their
life, for long periods of time.
Tuberculosis germs, for example,
will live and retain their dlseas^pro-
duclng power from one to nine months
on Indoor dust, and as long as two
months on street dusL
Dust found Indoors, especially In
dark, damp, poorly ventilated places.
Is more dangerous than outdoor dusL
which is dried by being blown about
and la subjected to the purifying action
of the direct rays of the sun.
Besides being a carrier of dlseaae
germs, dust Is an enemy of health In
an Indirect way It acts as a mechani-
cal irritant to the delicate mucous
membrane lining the breathlug or-
gans.
This irritation, if continued, causes
a mild Inflammation, or catarrhal con-
dition, lowers the natural resistive
powers of these delicate structures,
thereby preparing the soil for the
growth of disease germs which may
And their way there.
Floors, carpets, walls and furniture
—the whole house, In fact, can and
should lie cleaned without making
dust. Dry sweeping and dry duBting
simply stir up the dust from one place
to let It settle again at another.

Roselle Sauce.
The news that a canning factory in
the Philippines has begun to manufac-
ture roselle sauce is of Interest as
narking the initial commercial stake
of an Industry possessing great pos-
sibilities. Roselle was introduced a
few years ago into the far southern
United States from the West Indies,
and has just begun to be cultivated
in the Philippines, says the Scientific
American. Until recently the only
edible part of the plant was supposed
to be the fleshy calyces, from which
can be made a sauce exactly resemb
ling cranberry sauce In appearance
and flavor, as well as syrup and jelly-
Lately It has been found that the
leaves and young stems of the plant
also yield palatable products.
Salt Fish With Onions.
Soak over night If possible In cold
water. If not soaked place on stove
one hour before meal time in cold
water, bring to a boil, turn off water
and add fresh cold water two differ-
ent times. The third time allow to
boil until time to serve. When water
Is added the third time and comes to
a boil peel four or five onions and the
number of potatoes needed and place
in kettle with salt fish, allowing 15
minutes longer for onions to cook
than the potatoes. You will find that
the onions give the fish and potatoes
a fine flavor. Add pepper and butter
when serving. Be sure to cook the
fish long enough to be well done, as
underdone fish is unfit to eat.

best thing for polishing silver or glass-

light or dark blue, beet Juice will
color it red or pink, and cofTee will
nive them brown and yellow shades.

important world's foodstuff
Seed Sorghums a Staple with 700 Mil-
lion People.
The seed-producing sorghum is one
of the important foodstuffs of the
world. Three hundred million inhab-
itants of India and 360.000.000 inhab-
itants of China consider seed sorg-
hum a staple. The people of Egypt.,'
Syria and Africa are seed sorghum'
eaters.
Kafir will produce a paying crop
every year, wet or dry, on land and,in
districts which will not give a good
crop of maize, or Indian corn.
Kafir, or in general the seed-bearing
sorghums, has a long history, but not
one reaching into the dim past.
Great age is often deduced for a
plant by the occurrence of its name
in the ancient Sanskrit language, but
seed sorghum has no name In this
ancient tongue.
It is interesting to note that the
seeds have not been found in the
homes of the Lake dwellers of Italy
and Switzerland. The Greek writers
have nothing to say about this food
The celebrated Roman naturalist.
Pliny, describes a sorghum which, in
all probability, was one of the sugar
bearing varieties and not the seed
bearer in which we are interested.
THE BANKING HABIT.
is universally conceded to be a good habit, and a good habit,
has been defined by someone as, "Yesterday's Achievements
Taking the Sting from Today's Toil"
This definition states the exact truth, based upon the
experience of thousands of depositors throughout the world.
While you are forming this exceptionally good habit, you
are accumulating a fund for future use. Life is worth living
when you have money in the bank — it gets monotonous
when you are broke. . . ,
Examine our statement which appears in thit issue, then
come in and open an account with us.

The berries of the common juniper
—an evergreen shrub belonging to the
pine family, and osmetimes attaining
the height of a small tree—are used
for medicine. They should be collect-
ed when ripe, in October. They have
an aromatic, somewhat spicy odor.
An oil, known as oil of juniper, is
distilled from them, and is employed
as a stimulant and diuretic. They are
also used for flavoring gin.
