How to Make a Dustless Duster.
Dip a soft cloth until saturated
in u solution of one tablespoon of
turpentine, 1 euart of hot water, and
" tablespoons of raw linseed oil.
'Wring out as dry as possible. Wipe
painted or varnished surfaces with
this. The turpentine cuts and cleans,
and the oil renews the polish of the
wood.
Cheese cloths or the legs of old
white hose are jfood for this pur
pose as they absorb the oil and tur
pentine evenly and produce little
lint.
A ?rlasa jar is a safe place to
keep these dusters when not in use.

I Dressing-Up the Windows.
With the change of season there
is the opportunity for variety and
change in curtains. Clean, attrac
tive curtains rive a pleasing impres
sion. The windows and hangings
of a room are unconsciously noticed
first upon entering. The first im-
, pression is often a lasting one so
(naturally every housewife wants her
curtains to be attractive.
! The size and shape of the win
dows determines the kind of cur
tain. Ruffled curtains make a long
window appear shorter. Valances
and novel tie-backs also cut the
Plant Life First
in the Scale of
God's Creation
The Glory of Plant Life and Its
Usefulness Touched Upon by
Civic Committee.
The first notice we have of that
part of the world around us which
bears forth the vegetable kingdom,
is in the first chapter of the Bible,
where we are told that on the third
day of creation God said, "let the
earth bring grass, the head yielding
seed and the fruit trees yielding fruit
after his kind, whose seed is in its
self upon the earth."
At the command of the Almighty
the mysteries of vegetable life began
to start into being; shrubs and
flowers adorned the fields, lofty
trees waved in the forests, and herbs
and grasses covered the ground with
vendure. It was only after the earth
had thus been robed in beauty that
it brought forth abundant cattle and
creeping things and every living
thing after it3 kind. Thus vegetable
ranks. first in order in the scale of
creation, being designed for the sup
