hence, in preparing porridge, gravies,

That paint stains that are dry and

lhat a good agency for keeping the
air ot the cellar sweet and whoUoine
is uhitewesh made of good white
lime and water only. The addition
ot glue or size, or anything of this
clas, is only a damage by furnishing
organic matter to speedily putrify.
The use of lime in wliitewa.-h is not
simply tw give a white oolur, but it
greatly promotes the complete oxida
tion of ejUuvia in the cellar air. Any
vapors that cont in combined nitro
gen in the uuoxiiiicd form contribute
powerfully to the development of dis
ease germs.

when tiie matter ol finally locating
the capital came up, tiie work of two
men decided the matter in favor of
Salem. Hail either of thein failed to
act the part he did, the capitol would
hive Wen elsewhere. One of those
men was I). W. Craig, then business
manager of the Sttitxniiii. He wrote
t the chairman of county commit
t-jes of both political parties in coun
ties where they were not particularly
interested iu the location of the cap
ital, oli'cring to print their county
tickets without charge, the only privil
ege asked being 1 1 insert Salem as the
capital. Xcarlv all of them swallow
ed the bait. A n ore important actor
was .Lidje J.h: Wilson, then residing
at Tile Ifilles. Gmt. Collin was ivi''
more interested in securing th v.;
of government at Portland, wa- t -ing
aitout the same tactics a3l-.ir.

and was hiiii&eif taking them to Kast
