This is a story of outdoor boy life, suggesting a large num- 
ber of diversions which, aside from affording entertainment, 
will stimulate in boys ‘the creative spirit. In each instance 
complete practical instructions are given for building the various 
articles. @ The needs of the boy camper are supplied by the direc- 
tions for making tramping outfits, sleeping bags and tents; also 
such other shelters as tree houses, straw huts, log cabins and caves. 
q The winter diversions include instructions for making six kinds of 
skate sails and eight kinds of snowshoes and skis, besides ice boats, 
scooters, sledges, toboggans and a peculiar Swedish contrivance 
called a ‘‘rennwolf.” @ Among the more instructive subjects cov- 
ered are surveying, wigwagging, heliographing and bridge-building, 
in which six different kinds of bridges, including a simple can- 
tilever bridge, are described.

The Care of Fine Furniture 
First get your furniture. This, while a 
most important feature, when consideration 
is taken of plans, schemes and the thought 
that must be given to architectural and color 
effects, really becomes of but secondary im- 
portance in the face of the more vital ques- 
tion: ‘““How can the furniture be kept at 
its best?’—a question that applies with 
equal force to all furniture, whether Colo- 
mal, Chippendale, Heppelwhite, Sheraton, 
or of some art period, or whether it be of 
highly polished mahogany, mission, gilt, 
white enamel, or some other costly finish. 
Some one has said that furniture 1s 
human. It has its dull days, as well as its 
bright days. To-day it looks gloomy, 
where yesterday it was cheerful. It is af- 
fected by climatic conditions. It perspires 
en hot days, and readily shows the effects of 
neglect and exposure to dust and dirt. 
The proper care of furniture is more 
a matter of correct daily dusting than of 
imparting an artificial gloss at more or less 
lengthy intervals. Even soap and water 1s 
not necessary; in fact there is always 
danger of harming fine finishes with the 
free alkali contained in many soaps, even 
of the highest grade. 
The ideal way to dust is to moisten a soft 
duster with some dusting preparation that 
will restore the original newness of the 
article by removing finger marks, spots, 
stains, discolorations and scratches, all in 
the one simple dusting operation. A dust- 
ing aid such as this is to be found in Liquid 
Veneer, a unique liquid food for furniture. 
When used on an ordinary cheese-cloth 
duster it instantly beautifies every finish on 
which it is used, no matter how old, how 
new, or how costly. 
On fine mahogany furniture, as well as 
on finishes of rosewood, ebony, golden oak, 
enamel, gilt and others that add to the 
beauty of the home Liquid Veneer 
gives truly remarkable results by restoring 
the original newness and lustre. Restoring 
is the exact word, for Liquid Veneer 
is not a mere furniture polish which imparts 
but an artificial surface-gloss, but an article 
of daily use which does its work by renew- 
ing, restoring, all the original beauty of the 
finish; and all this in the simple daily 
dusting. 
For instantly removing that blue, smoky 
anpearance so common to pianos and fur- 
niture having highly polished surfaces. 
Liquid Veneer is in a distinct class by 
itself. When used in the usual dusting, it 
instantly removes that unsightly “mistiness”’ 
and restores and enhances the original fin- 
ish and gloss. Being a surface food it gives 
life to the most highly polished finish by 
imparting elasticity, in this way retarding 
cracking and checking. 
No furniture is too costly or too cheap 
to be beautified with Tiauid Veneer. — Its 
daily dusting uses are endless. It is equally 
effective on all furniture and metal work, 
finishes of brass, silver, enamel and lacquer, 
while for making and keeping hardwood 
floors looking new it is unsurpassed. 
Upon request a free trial bottle of Liquid 
Veneer will be sent by the Buffalo 
Specialty Company, 173 Liquid Veneer 
Building, Buffalo, N. Y. One trial will 
prove its wonderful value as a beautifier, as 
well as its great labor-saving, money-saving 
and all ’round “CHEER UP” qualities.
