PLUMBING NEEDS
DAILY GLEANING
Ounce of Prevention Is Worth
More Than Pound of Cure
With Plumbers’ Bills.
HOW TO CARE FOR FIXTURES
Waite Pipes Should Be Flushed Thor
oughly to Carry Off Hardened
Grease and Accumulation of
Miscellaneous Dirt.
(■Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Many plumbers' bills would he avoid
ed. the health of the family better
safeguarded, and the appearance of
the plumbing Improved If the following
suggestions, made by the home eco
nomies office of the United Stales Ite
psrtment of Agriculture, were followed
by the housewife:
Stoppage in pipes Is often due to
hardened grease or to nn accumula
tion of hair and llnf. The waste pipes
should be flushed thoroughly after us
ing, so that the waste Is carried out
of the house pipes and the trap left
full of clean water. A trap in a
waste pipe Is a curved section so ar
ranged that water remains In It and
prevents the passage of sewer gas Into
the house. If the water left in the
trap is not clean, decomposition may
take place and odors and gases may
come from the Impurities in the water
Itself. Precautions should*be taken to
prevent oil and grease from going
down the waste pipe from the kitchen
sink, because being lighter than water
they rend to remain floating on the
surface of the water In the trap.
Use of Cleansing Mixtures.
Occasionally more than cold, or even
hot, wafer Is necessary to clear out
the accumulated grease, lint, miscel
laneous dirt, and hits of refuse. Wash
Ing soda Is ordinarily strong enough
for bathroom pipes, and may be used
In the proportion of one part ‘‘liquid”
soda (made by boiling one pound of
washing soda and one quart of water
In an old kettle) to twelve parts hot
water, or one pound of dry soda thor
oughly dissolved in three gallons of
boiling water. The drain pipe from
the kitchen sink may sometimes need
a stronger cleanser, even If it Is thor
oughly cleaned and flushed, after each
dishwashing, and for this purpose
caustic potash is efficacious, but must
be used carefully—the hands must be
protected and the potash must not be
allowed to touch porcelain or porce
lain-lined sinks, because it may de- !
sfroy the glaze. One pound of crystals
dissolved in two quarts of water
should be poured down the drain.
About half an hour later the pipe
should be flushed with clear water.
Caustic soda, although sometimes rec
ommended. is not desirable, because tt
Is likely to unite with the grease and ;
form a hard soap, that Is difficult to
remove from the pipes.
•Tine scourers may be used on all
fixtures. For porcelain ami enameled
Iron fixtures kerosene and whiting are
especially good; the kerosene cuts the j
grease and the whiting supplies the
abrasion. Some of the commercial '
cleaning preparations used for enam
eled and porcelain fixtures contain
scourers so gritty that they scratch ,
the surface, and thus make the work
of cleaning gradually harder. Nothing
coarser than whiting should he al
lowed.
Should Be Cleaned Daily.
Bathroom fixtures should be cleaned
dally. Tubs and bowls should be
scrubbed with a fine scourer or with
water containing a little kerosene,
rinsed with clear hot water and wiped
dry. The stains made by water con
taining an excess of Iron may 1)e re
moved from porcelain or porcelain- j
lined tubs and bowls with oxalic-add
solution, which Is* a poison and must
be entirely washed off. The overflow
pipes should be flushed occasionally
with hot water, for dirt and grease are
likely to collect and decompose there.
The water-closet should he kept
scrupulously clean. A dally cleaning |
Is necessary with hot soapsuds or soda
solution, and a long-haired brush, and
flushed agRln. Then the seat, the
coyer, the chain, and the handle j
should be washed and wiped. All
cloths and utensils used In cleaning
the bathroom should be scalded and
dried, preferably In the open air.
The crust of lime which is some
times deposited by hard water can be
removed from porcelain and porcelain
lined fixtures with hydrochloric add.
This acid la very potaonous and la ala*
injurious to the akin and to many
materials. Including the metalP used la
plumbing. It must, therefore, be han
dled with extreme care. Gloves should
be worn when using It. To clean th*
bowl of a closet, ball out ns much wa
ter as possible, pour In about a pint
of commercial hydrochloric acid (aonae
tlmes called muriatic acid), and lot
this stand for several horn's, or until
the crust crumbles when poked with ■
stick. Then flq^Jj^.wltfe ji larje^sjusn
tlty of water. The water in me tank
i Is not enough; more must be poured
In by hand In order to dilute the add
and curry It away rapidly. In a
porcelaln-llned sink or bathtub the
acid must not be allowed to stand on
the soiled earthenware, because It ro.-iy
get through to the metal underneath
and eat that away. It must, therefore,
be applied drop by drop to the lime
and flushed out with plenty of water
as soon as the crust begins to crumble
i when pressed.
SUBSTITUTE FLOURS
FOR MAKING BREADS
People Tire of Wheat Served
Three Times Daily.
Corn Meal, Pecan, Hickory or English
Walnuts Cut Into Small Pieces and
Other Cereals Are Useful
to Break Monotony.
(Prepared by the United Statee Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Wheat broad served three times a
day is apt to grow tiresome If not
varied by bread made from other
cereals. The following recipes are
recommended by the home economics
kitchen of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture :
Brown Bread.
I cupfuls corn meal 1 teaspoonful salt.
1 cupful flour. 2 cupfuls water.
I teaspoonfuls bak- 1 cupful molasses.
Ing powder.
Mix the dry ingredients and add the
molasses and the water. Pour the
mixture into a greased coffee can or
steaming tin, steam It for two hours,
and then bake in a moderate oven for
one-half hour.
Nut Bread.
3 cupfuls flour. 1 cupful English
3 teaspoonfuls bak- walnut or pecan
Ing powder. or hickory nut
1 teaspoonful salt. meats, cut Into
14 cupful sugar. small pieces.
1 cupful milk. 1 egg
Sift together the flour, the baking
powder, the salt, and the sugar, and
add the milk, the egg, well beaten, and
the nut meats. Place the mixture In
a well-huttered pan and let rise for
one hour. Bake for three-fourths hour
in a moderate oven.
Rolled Oats and Wheat Bread.
1% cupfuls liquid cake yeast
(milk, water, pota- 1 tablespoonful of
to water or a mix-. sugar or corn
ture of these). sirup
cupful freshly 2 teaspjonfuls salt
mashed potato 1H cupfuls ground
3H cupfuls wheat rolled oats
flour.
Make a sponge of all the Ingredients
except the rolled oats, and let It rise
In a warm place until very light. Add j
the rolled oats, which have been
ground fine in the food chopper and j
measured after grinding. Let the dough j
rise until it doubles in hulk, then :
knead and mold It into a loaf, brush
with melted fat after It has been j
placed In a pun, and allow It to double
In bulk agqin. Bake In a hot oven
for 1 Vi hours.
IRONING DRUDGERY REDUCED
Use Clean, Smooth Irons and Have
Well-Padded Board or Table at
Comfortable Height.
Have a clean, well-padded hoard or
table set at comfortable height.
Use clean, smooth Irons. Rubbing
them occasionally with wax or paraffin
will keep them In good condition, j
Rusty or dirty Irons should be scoured j
with sand soap or bath brick, ^
washed, wiped dry, heated, waxed and
rubbed smooth.
Have clothes evenly dampened and
smoothly and tightly rolled.
Iron fabrics with the lengthwise
thread, If possible, and Iron as large 1
a space at one time as possible. Most
materials look best if Ironed thorough
ly dry.
Iron first the parts that dry ont
quickly and that will hang off the
board when finished.
For silks, woolens and colored mate
rials use medium-hot Irons. Iron all.

FISH WITHOUT MOUTH CAUGHT
Peculiar Specimen Found in Miseourl
Aleo Noseless, but Weighed
Five Pounds.
Kennett, Mo.—Going through life
Without a mouth or rather with your
mouth grown shut would be a sad
experience for anybody of the human
race, but E. D. Poe, a blacksmith of
this city, has Just caught urflsh that
waa thusly afflicted. Poe got the ;
unusual specimen of the flnny tribe,
while on an outing at what is known j
aa“Tear Blanket,” on the Varneys
river. It was a ‘five-pound buffalo
that had no sign of a mouth.
The fin bad the appearance of hav
ing had its mouth and nose bitten
off up to and Just below the eyes, and
In the process of healing the wound
grew entirely shut With this excep
tion the flsh was a fine specimen ;
and apparently waa not handicapped
by Its strange deformity or affliction. I
Poe put the flsh in a tank of water
and it swam around Just like any
other flsh. It seemed to have worked
out a scheme of letting water through ,
one set of gills and out the other. I
VEGETABLES ABE
CHEAP FOR FOOD
Particularly Valuable Are Those
Available During Spring and
Summer Seasons.
SMALL PLOT IS SUFFICIENT
Garden Truck ae Source of Mineral
Matter and Proteina la Much
More Important Than Many
People Fully Realize.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The old adage, ''an apple a day
keeps the doctor away,” might quite
as well have read "a carrot or an
onion a day,” and probably the result
would be about the same as regards
reducing the doctor's bill. Vegetables
of all kinds are necessary In the diet, !
hot particularly valuable are those
available in the spring and summer,
say specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Value of Vegetables In Diet.
Without going Into definite figures
It may be stated that the food value
of vegetables, sueh as beans, peas, po
tatoes, sweet corn, beats and carrots,
la very high. When considered from
the standpoint of the food value of
the crop that may be produced on a
given area of land, beaus, beets and
carrots are ahead of almost any oth
er garden crop. One tenth acre plant
ed entirely to carrots will yield about
u ton, and In energy this would be
equal to about 370 pounds of average
beef. One-tenth acre of beets would
also yield about a ton and be equal to ;
380 pounds of average beef. One-tentb
acre of lima beans would yield about
120 pounds of dry beans, equal to
about 220 pounds of beef.
As sources of mineral matter and
proteins needed by the body, vege
tables are much more valuable than !
J
Vegetables Furnish Considerable Por
tion of Needed Mineral Subatances
and Vitaminea in Diet, Beside Bulk.
many people realize. Also they sup
ply roughage, which is believed to
keep the body In good working order.
In the course of nature, human beings
as well us some unlmuls seem to have
so developed thut they need a certain
amount of roughuge, which is best
supplied by the coarser vegetable
foods. During recent years there has
been a growing tendency to reduce
the roughuge In cereals and some oth
er foods, and, In order to offset this,
un extra effort stiouhl he made to sup
ply plenty of vegetables and fruits. In
addition, fresh vegetables are among
the best sources of what, for lack of
a better name, have been called vita
mines.
Nobody has ever been able to stand
a vltamlne up by Itself, or a groujj of
them by themselves, so that we could
look at them, hilt It Is known that
they are present Just the same, be
cause of the action that they have up
on the human body.
Eat More Vegetables.
Too much cannot be said In favor
of a larger proportion of vegetables
In the diet of the American people.
The English are considered a nation
of meat eaters, hut It has been shown 1
thut Americans eat more meat per ;
capita than do »he English. A cer
tain amount of meat in the diet is ;
highly desirable but this should al
ways he balanced by a sufficient sup- ,
ply of vegetable
One of the reasons that many peo- j
pie have to a great extent cut vege- |
tables from their diet Is that they
have been unable to get fresh vege- ;
tables and do not relish stale ones. ]
The Individual home vegetable garden
planted either In the back yard, or a
convenient piece of land, not only
solves the problem of supplying the
family with vegetables at low cost
and In abundance, bnt guarantees
their freshness.
CARE OF HEATER IN SUMMER
Avoid Danger of Ifeiet by Cleaning In
•prlng and Storing in Thoroughly
Dry Place.
There Is danger of rust when a
■tore or furnace stands unused for
some time. Smokeplpes should be
taken down In the spring, cleaned and
Stored In a dry place. The doors
should be left open to keep the In
terior dry. A lump of unslaked lime
on the grate will collect the moisture
and thus prevent rust, home economic
specialists In the United States De- |
pertinent of Agriculture say. Leave
the boiler of a steam or hot-water
beater filled with water up to the
safety valve, during the summer.
Machine Gun Back in 1775?
A controversy as to who first in
vented machine guns is one of the
war’s aftermaths in France.
Lyon puts forth the claim of a
M. du Perron, who, in 1775, is said
to have submitted to the young King
Louis XVI, a military '“orgue" which
worked on a crank system and could
fire twenty-four bullets “almost simul
taneously, and consequently eoul-' an
nihilate a whole regiment in a few
minutes,’’ according to a contemporary
record.
