On February 2nd, 1942, Mr. Payette
submitted an estimate of cost of in

Company, which amounted to approxi

iai and it would, no doubt, be in use
for about, twenty years.
• On the rental basis of $26.55 per

thai amount at the end of about six
years.
We therefore recommend that the

rental basis, and feel it is especiall>
important that his work be done as
quickly as possible to have the neees

Bathing Cats
Many people have an idea it isn’t
necessary to bathe a cat, that a cat
will clean itself. This is true to z
certain extent but they should be
cleaned in other ways. Here are
a few hints: Tabbies should be
dry-cleaned with hot bran in prefer
ence to a bath. The coat should be
well brushed the right way. A soap
bath is best for black cats—finish
the job with a coat preparation to
furnish gloss. A soap or bran bath
is best for smokes and finish by
brushing with ammonia and water.
This will make the coat stand up
well.
Elixir of Life
Alchemists of the Twelfth to Sev
enteenth centuries were popularly
supposed to be searching for the
“philosopher’s stone” by which bas
er metals could be transmuted into
gold. Their research, however, was
threefold. The other two objects
they had in view were the Elixir
of Life, and the Alkahest, aa imagi
nary liquid supposed to be a uni
versal solvent capable of resolving
all bodies into their constituent ele
ments.
Before Painting
Before painting finished and un
finished metal parts of machinery
such as cast iron, it is most neces
sary that it be given a thorough
cleaning. Rust should be removed
with emery cloth or sandpaper and
kerosene, and all traces of oil and
grease should be removed by wash
ing with washing soda or some sim
ilar grease cutter.
Tumeric
A root of the ginger family is
tumeric. It has a rich, appetizing
odor, and is bright yellow in color*
Blending to a most appetizing flavor
tumeric and mustard have long beea
used together. These two spices in
varying proportions are ideal for
pickles and almost every meat and
egg dish.
Motor Reduces Blowouts
Charles H. Roberts of Burbank,.
Calif., has invented a hydraulic
motor to be installed within the
wheels of heavier airplanes to set
the wheels spinning before they
touch the ground, thereby reducing
impact and danger of blowouts.
Rust on Clothesline
To prevent rust on a wire clothes
line, give it a coat of white var
nish once or twice a year, or a cou
ple of coats of white enamel. Wipo
a steel clothesline with a little kero
sene in cold weather and clothes,
will not stick to it.
‘Love Apple’
The tomato was, originally, a na
tive of South America, and there
was a time when nobody could be
induced to taste it, because its owg
inal name was “Love Apple’’ and it
was labeled “poisonous."
Motor Fuel for Cars
It is estimated that every 24 houra
one-third of all U. S. motor vehi
cles—lo,ooo.oo6, drive into the na
tion’s 400.000 retail gasoline outlets
and obtain 60.000.00 gallons of mo
tor fuel.
