Things You Should Keep In House
GLUE FOR BROKEN LETALS
·DISCOVERED
The home repairer, has now a (useful choice of mending materials for the different kinds of break- ages that happens even in the best regulated - families. What with
the various pastes, glues, and guzas put up in the most con- venient tubes, bottles, and metal |containers, what with plastic wood, plaint fireclay, and rubber · solu- tions, we have an armoury against accident that would have surprised and delighted the hearts of Our grandmothers.
But for long we have still been at a loss when it came to mending or patching metal breakages. True. metal vessels for cooking, including the necessary kettle, were never before so cheap and good as they now are, which is a sad encourage- ment t to us to throw anything light-heartedly away as soon as it develops the amallest flaw. But a cheap saucepan or enamel basin-13 as well worth mending at the ex- pense of a few cents as was a costly one in the old days, and although no tinkers call at our doors for orders there is not the slightest reason why we should not prolong the lives of our dollar articles as long as we can.
The availability of solder in tubes, which is easily applied and dries rapidly when exposed to the air, is not nearly so well “known as it ought to be. A tube of it ought to find a place among the other materials for household re- pairs. It is simple and effective to nse, and can do a number of unexpected things when it comes to broken metal.

Parma-violet, like chocolate and pace, may have ja good autumn success.

A common ailment which retards many, a child's healthy progress – is constipation.
