$1. a Jar
Far the Best Silver Polish Ever
Put on The Market
Customers who have bought a jar of this polish
say that it REALLY IS THE BEST POLISH they
ever used. It is so easy to use, a pleasure to clean
and polish with because it is not messy. They
find that it cleans metal picture frames, floor
lamp bases, brass and most anything of that na
ture that needs brightening up.
Come in today and get a jar and try it for your
self. We know you will be just as pleased with
it as those who have used it.

as fluffy as down or springy whole
small feathers and they break up
more easily if you use them by them
selves. A mixture lasts better.
The first thing to do with newly
plucked feathers is to wash them and
dry them thoroughly. If you don’t
do this promptly you may find the
feathers get moldy or develop strong
odors. soon as you can-, soak the
feathers in lukewarm soapy water
containing household ammonia, or
baking soda, or borax. Use ammonia
if any of the feathers are blod-stain-
ed. This scouring removes dirt and
natural grease. Rinse the feathers
thoroughly in lukewarm water. Then
soak them again in warm clear wa
ter for 30 or 40 minutes, and drain
them.
Dry the feathers as fast as you
can by placing them in cloth bags
and hanging them in a warm breeze.
Don’t fill the bags over a third or a
hall full of damp feathers, to allow
for plenty of air cureulation and the
increased size of the feathers as they
plump up and take up more room.
Shake and plump the bags at regu
lar intervals until you are sure all
the feathers are dry. Tu'-n the bags
end to end and side to skit- on the line
about every hour.

ENGLISH PARSON
(Continued from page one)
connected with it. It is supposed to
have been built by Sir. Isaac Newton
without any bolts, pegs, or screws,
being held together simply by the
way the timbers were wedged togeth
er. However, some of his colleagues
didn’t believe it had been done, so
they tore the bridge down to find
out, and after their curiosity had
been satisfied, they found they could
n’t get it back together. Now it is
bolted in all the joints.
The River Cam flows lazily thru
the town, and walking along its
peaceful banks and across the cen
turies old college gardens, it is hard
to realize that just a couple of hun
dred miles away armies are locked
in the greatest war in history. But
about that time a P-51 will “buzz”
the town, or a formation of Flying
Fortresses will fly over end break
the spell, and make one realize that
after all the reason for being over
here in the first place is not to go
“punting” on the river.
To get back to the tour on my
first visit, one incident happened
that embarrassed me just a little,
and must have shocked the dear old
lady who was showing us around.
We were at one of the colleges, and
j I noticed a tree that seemed to be
growing out of a fairly large mound
of dirt. Rather, it didn’t seem to be
growing, but looked quite dead.
“What’s that?” I asked the guide.
“A camouflaged air raid shelter?”
“Oh, no,” came the rather horrified
reply. That is a famous mulberry
tree connected with the poet John
Milton.” Just what the connection
j was I never did get. Whether he
i planted it, or sat under it while a
student at Cambridge I suppose I
will never know.
I talked to George Scruggs the
other day on the phone, and we made
arrangements to meet in Cambridge,
but he wasn’t able to make it. He
has moved since then but I don’t
know where, as I haven’t heard from
him since. It was Sunday, and while
I was waiting outside the Red Cross
club where I was to have met him,
and watching the people go by, I
noticed a preacher across the street.
They are easy to spot from their
frock coats, clerical vest and collar.
He was with his wife, I took her to
be, and neither of them could have
been a day under 75. There was a
young girl coming the other way,
who was about 17 or 18, and as she
passed the clerical couple, I couldn’t
help hut notice the old gentleman
turn and bestow upon her one of the
most “wolfish” stares I have ever
seen. You would have laughed to see
him, with his prayer book clutched
to his chest, and tottering up the
street. “Hope springs eternal in the
human breast.”
I guess this will have to be enough
tonight. It’s eleven o’clock, and
beginning to get dark, so I will eith
er have to pull the blackout shades
or turn out the lights and go to bed.
I think I will go to bed.—Luke.”
