opened, the milk poured out into a
large bowl already chilled, and this
bowl should be surrounded with
chipped ice in another vessel. When
thoroughly cold, the milk should be
whipped in the usual way for about
five minutes, then sweeteninto anl
flavor added as desired.
Household Helps
To clean painted walls and wood
work, take one quart of warm water,
three heaping tablespoonfuls of sal
eratus, and mix well; stir until dis
solved. Then wash the painted sur
face with this solution, and then
wipe with a cloth wrung out of clear
water; make a fresh solution as
soon as the first becomes dirty, re
peating the process until all the sur
face has been gone over. It will cut
grease and smoke stains on the
kitchen walls and ceilings as noth
ing else will.
Aluminum ware has just one
fault, and that is, that it will get
brown and dirty looking, and is hard
to keep bright and clean. For ex
treme cases of discoloration, use
steel wool and good soapsuds, using
number 00 steel wool; this can be
got at the house furnishing depart
ment of almost a.iy large,, depart
ment store. There are many pow
der polishes that will keep the uten
sils bright if used .dry.
With the fruit season we are re
minded of stains, and there is noth
ing so good for removing stains
from white goods as javelle water.
It is easy to make and not expen
sive. Place four pounds of bi
carbonate of soda in a large granite
or porcelain lined vessel, and pour
over it four quarts of hot water;
stir this with a stick until the soda
has dissolved; then add a pound of
chloride offline, and stir until this,
also, has dissolved. Allow tthe mix
ture to stand until cool in the pan,
then strain the clear liquid through
a thin cloth into a wide-mouthed
bottle or jug, and cork tightly. No
sediments must be allowed to go in
with the liquid. Do not throw the
sediments away, but add half as
much water to it as was used with
the fresh ingredients, and it will be
found excellent scouring fluid about
the kitchen, and sink. A small tea
cupful of the strained liquid added
to the boil water when washing will
rot injure ai. fabric, and will re
move the worst stain. Colored goods
may be washed through the suds
water after white clothes, but no
fluid should be added, else it will
take out the color.

WILSON URGES ALL BOYS TO
AID IN WINNING WAR
A Washington, D. C, dispatch,,
dated September l,-says: President
Wilson, in a letter made public to
ay, calls on the young men of the
nation to serve their country by join
g the United States boys' working
reserve. He declares that it is thd
"itriotic duty of every young man
t) tween 16 and 21, not now em
loyed, to devote his spare time to
pome productive work and help sup
port the nation in the present crisis.
,The letter was addressed to Secre
fary of Labor Wilson, under whom
the reserve operates.
The service of these young men to
their country, however, the President
says, should be without interrupting
their studies at school. He expressses
t"e hope that all those eligible will
"fit thotooaelves by training and study
fAr goou citizenship and productive
service."
During the summer - the boys
working reserve has aided in mobil
ization and placing of thousands of
city boys to help fill the labor .short
age on the farms. This shortage

next year will-fce much greater and
plans of organization are being
worked out to train and place many
more thousands of boys where they
are needed on the farms and in in
dustry. The President's letter follows:
"Permit me to express my great
appreciation of the work undertaken
by the United' States boys' working
reserve of the employment service of
the department oi jauui. j b" -
the young men between the ages of
16 and 21 the privilege of spending
their spare time in productive enter
prise without interrupting their
studies at school, while their older
brothers are battling in the trenches
and on the seas, must greatly increase
the means of proving for the
forces at the front and the mainten
ance of those whose services are
needed here. It is a high privilege
no less than a patriotic duty to help
support the nation by devoted and
intelligent work in this great crisis.
"Let me express hope that the
young men of the country not now
permanently employed may eagerly
enter the boys' working reserve to fit
themselves by training and study for
good citizenship, and productive ser-
vice. In this way they can show
themselves worthy of patriotic broth
ers who are fighting for it today, and
command the affectionate pride of
the brave mothers who are silently
bearing the burdens at home."
