v"fT)nr5 f K 11 It ft P- 18 The Commoner tho world with its sweetening. It is anticipated that the problems of the present food supply may bring about the use of many vegetables not now in use for foods, and as there are said to be about 500,000 species of plants, with only a few thousands now used as foods, many things will be put up on the food list because of a scarcity, or shortage through circumstances of the food plants now supplying the want. In Making Flour Somebody wants to know how many bushels of wheat it takes to make a barrel of flour. From the eight-year milling test conducted at tho North Dakota Experiment station we have the following: It takes four bushels and forty-one and one-half pounds of Fife wheat to make a bar rel of flour; four bushels and forty four and one-half pounds of Blue Stem wheat; four bushels and fifty pounds of Velvet Chaff, and four bushels and forty-four pounds of Durum wheat. God's' Wisdom Thousands of people pray for things with which they could no more be safely trusted than tho average small boy with a pistol, for they would be pretty certain to hurt themselves or others if they got what they ask for. If God wero not wiser in withholding than wo are in asking, thero would bo infinitely greater misery and dls- PNEUVAC DISH WASHER Doubles the Joy of Dishwashing Because It Halves the Labor Yoh Can't Appreciate It Uatll You Try It fcgABM KEEPS HANDS DRY You don't have to dip your hands in water.

Odd Bits Plant some chervil in the garden in April; it is an old-fashioned gar nish, and looks like maiden-hair fern. A short row will furnish enough of the lacy garnish for a whole summer; it can be potted for winter use, just as you do parsley. The color is a delicate green, and it is sometimes used in soups to give a delicious flavor. ' 'iry the Swiss Chard for summer greens, it will make delicious salads so long as the leaves are tender, and when they grov old, the leaf stalks should be stripped off the green leaf and cooked as asparagus. Cut only the leaves, and they will grow out again. if your wall paper needs cleaning, take cheese cloth bags, nil with bran, and use as you would a scrub brush; bran is excellent for cleaning the bath tub, and for mail, other ' purposes, used in little bags of cheese cloth. The cleansing qualities of flour and bran are many. For cleaning the linoleum, go over it once a week with a cloth dipped in equal parts of turpentine and linseed oil; then, when -t is clean, rub briskly until polished .with a clean, dry cloth. It will look like new, and wear much longer. If you must use hard water for the laundry, and are obliged to rinse and blue your garments in the same, it is said that a cupful of sweet milk add ed to the water before putting -in the bluing, will keep it from- streaking. Another way is to soften the water with a little powdered 'boraxv or even a little potasli, and the' bluing-will be all right. It is said that brown or tan shoes that have become darkened- or dis colored may be renovated by apply ing to them a mixture of equal pro portions of liquid ammonia, milk, and wter with a soft cloth. Let get perfectly dry, then polish with a pad until the surface shines.- When moving into a new house, the paint should be sponged with wa ter containing a little ammonia, and when the dirt and :dust of previous tenants have been "removed, the en tire woodwork should be: wiped care fully with a clotL moistened with crude oil. Once or twice a year go over the woodwork, witlr an oiled rag, and it will retahrjts finish and remain ckan without; any-hard labor. Such places as handles ofi doors, etc., where dirt is apt to gather, .should be sponged occasionally throughout the year or whatever the . house is cleaned, and the halworlr.o scrub bing will not be necessary. When ink stains are to be removed from wash, goods that are fast-col-.ored or white, try soaking for half an hour in a weak solution of cider vin egar; wring out and drop into a basin of water containing a tablespoonful of any good washing powder, set the vessel on the back, of the .stove and bring slowly to the. boiling-point, but do not let boil. Then wring out and Wi the U8ur! m&nher, and you i .i. thG 3tuin removed, and the' white goods beautifully bleached. Here is the new way of polishing silverware Mix -no tablespoonful or salt, using level measure, one level tablespoonful of powdered alum, one level teaspoonful of cream tartar, uu two quarts of rain-water. Stir until dissolved, then put in a bottle and cork. Shake well before using. Lay silverware in a small vessel, and partly cover with the liquid? turning until every part is wet, then take out and let dry about ten minutes. When dry, polish with a piece of chamois, or a soft woolen cloth. ( v js. . ..n,(j?lu
