CAKE OF HOUSE.
The Kitchen.
Each room in the house has ita
distinct and separate' function in
tlie domestic economy. Take for
example the kitchen, the most im
portant room in the house, the
woman's workshop. It is the place
where the food it prepared and
cooked and where the dishes are
washed.
What then are the requisites for
this workslMipf Since the house
keeper spends a large part of each
day in her workshop, it, first of
all, should be well lighted and
ventilated. It should be comfort
ably warm in winter and cool in
summer. The floor, walls and
ceiling should be of such material
as may be easily cleaned. The
equipment for the work that is to
be done should be ample, of good
quality, intelligently selected, and
so arranged that the various task,
of the kitchen may be quickly per
formed aud with the least expen
diture of energy.
floors.
No entirely satisfactory finish
for the kitchen fioor has yet been
found. The time honored way of
scrubbing with soap and water
makes the whitest and cleanest
looking floor it is true?but think
of the wffrk requird!
Linoleum is undotibtedly the
best floor surface. It is thick
enough to be warm and is easier
fur the feet thaij) any other floor
surface. It wears well and is easily
cleaned by mopping, but the first
cost is too great for any but a
small kitchen or a large pocket- ,
book.
Oongeleam is'dn excellent floor
covering and cheaper than lino
oleum. i
Oilcloth may be used but it i
wears out quickly. >
runted Floors.
Two coats of good floor paint in i
tan or gray are attractive in a?
pearance and wear wtflMkWhen
worn spots appear they should be
touched up at once. If the floor 1
is not hard wood it abould be given <
two coats of shallac before the
paint is applied, and all cracks
ihonld first be fill with crack filler. I
Care of Painted Floors. I
Sweep the' floor, and wipe off '
the dust with a damp cloth. If
tbia will not remove all the dust, 1
use a woolen cloth wrung out of 1
hot water. If there are spots that
will not come off use a little soap '
on the cloth, but painted floors are
ruined bjr uhing a scrubbing brush
and soap and water. ' Once a week
after having swept the floor go '
over it with a cloth dampened wTtlf
one part of boiled linseed/oil and
one part of turpentine, or kero- 1
sene may be used. This cloth may
be put on a old broom and the
floor quickly gone over.
The work of caring for a floor
in this manner ia much lass than
when a great deal of soap and
water is used; and moreover, the
floor is in a sanitary condition, be
cause the boards are dry and
clean.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
Bill Johnson got "hitched" to a
good woman when be was earning
$18 a week. He joined a fraternal
order; his wife said she preferred
a new spring bat to paying assess
ments, and Bill took in the moving
pictures and played pinocle instead
of keeping his certificate in force.
Bill was injured while at work,
and waa sent to the hospital. Then
his wife hunted up his certificate
and tried to reinstate Bill. The
surgeons operated on Bill and Bill
died. Two of Bill's children were
harbored by poverty-stricken rela
tives; the others went to au ornhan
asylum. Bill's wife, humble and
destitute, unattractive and despon
dent, earns a precarious livelihood
in a box factory. There are
thousands of Bill Johnsons.?The

Bibles Wanted.
Patients at the State Sanatorium
Need Bibles and Book*.
"How's your Sunday school
getting along?" anfcfficial at the
State Sanatorium for the 'Treat
ment of Tuberculosis was asked a
few daya ago.
"Oh, fine," he replied, "we bare
more interest shown and a batter
attendance, according to our
population, than you folks have at
borne." Continuing, he explained
that every Sunday afternoon, after
the rest period, the convalescing
patients assemble in the main lobby
of the Sanatorium where one of
their number, usually a minister
or former Sunday school worker,
leads in the study of the lesson or
in such other devotional exercises
as may seem appropriate.
"How about your Sunday school
equipment'",he was asked.
"Well, you see it really doesn't
take very much," he reolied. "A
generous friend gave the Institu
tion an organ sometime ago. What ,
we need most now is about 75
Bibles." ,
In this connection he stated that
nearly all tb? patients read quite a ,
bit, for inasmuch as the rest cure
requires that tbey spend a great
portion of their time -in bed BDd
?itting around, a great many
improve their time by reading.
Already, friends of the Institution
have contributed various books to
the extent of about three hundred.
The patients read these at the rate
of fifty or more a week. Bibles,
New Testaments, books, magazines,
magazine subscriptions, song
books and a subscription for
seventy-five to one hundred t>un
dav school lesson leaflets or quar
terlies would be of much value to
the patients who are there waging
the battle of life and -death with
the Grim White Plague. Such
books or literature, if sent by par
cel post to the State Sanatorium,
at Sanatorium, N. C., will receive
a hearty welcome by the patients.
Short Course lor Clnb Members.
There is to be held at A. & M.
College, August 17-20th, a "Short
Course and Club Week" for the
North Carolina members of the
Boys' Agricultural Clubs. This is
to be held during the first week of
the annual Short Course for the
County Demonstration Agents, to
he held at the College. The boys
ind agents will be given Monday
to get to Raleigh and get located.
Work in earnest will begin Tues
day morning. Aughst 17th. The
regular lectures for the boys will
be separate from the men's meet
ings. The mornings will be devot
ed)to real practical instruction for
tne boys, in thirty minute lectures
by members of the College faculty
and Station force. The afternoons
will be left open for the boys to
visit the College and Stations
farms, observation trips through
the College buildings, practical
demonstrations, and a trip down
town to the various places 6f inter
est in the Capitol City.
Each evening we hope to have
popular and illustrated lectures for
the men and boys. We want all .
the members of all the clubs who .
can to come. The College will
furnish rooms free and meals at
twenty-five ?pnta each. Each boy <
will be expected to bring towels ^
and sheets. We hope the parents
will encourage the boys to take
this little outing, and at the same
time begin their education in
agriculture. We don't know bow the
boys can spend a week more pro
fitably than in attending this Short
Course.
This is an opportunity no farm
boy can afford to miss. ,
Don't forget the date, August |

Press Gomffleat on Brjaos Mote
to Germaoj.
The comment of the independent
end partisan preM on Secretary
of State Bryan's note, to Germany,
in answer to the insinution that
the United State* eras unneutral,
in eel linn implements of .war to tbe
Allies, when Germany could net
notliinn from us, has'been one of
the highest compliments any Sec
retary of Stale has ever received.
The New York Sun which baa
been hostile to tbe Administration
ever since Wilson came in. and
especially to Hryan, pronounces it
a "master piece"! And io deed
nearly all of the Republican editors
have been similarly eplopistic. As
a master-peice of diplomacy and
unanswerable logic, on a most ?,
delicate international problem, it
is unsurpassed by any state papers
of Jefferson, Webster, Seward or
Blaine. Tbe opposition papers
have indulged in much criticism of
Mr, Bryan in delivering lectures |
throughout the country, claiming
that they indicated neglect of bis
duties as Secretary of State.
Bryan has shown them that be can ,
lecture more than half the time,
and then match any diplomat i
who tries to entrap our state De
partment. It is now pretty evident i
that tbe bitterness of the attacks <
that have been made on Bryan in I
Die metropolitan republican dailies <
ire inspired by the Whiskey Trust, <
which controls, editorial utterances <
n the big dailies by their big half |
page "whiskey- ads" which sub i
lidizes those papers so tbeir at- <
ucks and those of other grafters '
>n Bryan, have only served to ran- -i
ler him more beloved than ever i

institute the great middle class, (
