TO CLEAN PILLOW COVERO. By This Method Tinted Ones Will Not Do Harmed. Soiled Bofn pillow covers tiro among the moHt disgusting of hotisu fur Diallings. They certainly cannot bo oltlior decorative or useful. It Ih a simple matter to do tip wnshablo sofa pillow tops, hut one hesitates beforo attempting to cloun tho tinted ones. However, they may bo dono up sov oral times if tho following method Is UBcd: Mako a suds of tepid, not hot, water, and waHh tho cover rapidly by Bqueczlng In tho hands. IMiibo in tepid water and shako in tho air until partly dry. Placo faco down on a pad, cover with a thin, smooth plcco of cotton cloth, and Iron rapidly with a hot Iron until porfectly dry. If there aro no grease spots or stains It may bo dry-cleaned by ripping It apart, placing it right side tip on a board, fastening it with thumb screws, and rublng tho stirfaco with knead ed rubber until tho covor is perfect ly clean. When cleaning tho embroidery bo very careful to movo tho rubber In tho Bamo direction as tho stitches. A flvo-cont rubber will bo largo enough. ONE WAY TO MEND CURTAINS. Troatment That Will Make Them Ap , pear Like New. Thoso curtains were of plain not With border on ono sido and bottom, and this ono pair had broken in holes through tho border for about a foot above tho window Bill, says a writer in tho Chicago Trlbuno. I cut tho border off clear across tho bottom, carefully following tho curves in tho doBign, then, noticing tho flguro at tho edge of tho curtain, raised tho border till It overlapped a correspond ing liguro In tho sido border, which, In this case, occurred at such a dls tanco as to romovo all tho worn part. Then, with curtain still hanging at tho window to Insure proper adjustment, fasten border across with plus, romovo from curtain polo, lay on flat surface, and basto carefully. Stitch twice on machine, having ton elon loose enough not to draw tho not, and using caro in turning corners, raising tho pressor foot often. Ro movo and cut away tho old part un fierncath, and press thoroughly. I ithen let down tho extra length which jhad been turned over at tho top and jroliung them and tho mending does .not show at all. My curtains aro liko jiew and still hang within thrco inches of tho floor. A New Paper Injunction City. Tho publication of a now dally, tho Sentinel, began Octobor 27 at Junc tion City, with II. M.

Tho deepest grief finds no expres sion in words. Faults in the poor are only occen. trickles In tho rich. An automobilo ran Into the post office. Henco all tho dead letters. Lynching has a most deplorable ef fectparticularly to tho gentleman lynched. A Yarmouth man has married a girl named Dollar. Hereafter sho will only bo a better half. Tho Zoppelin airship outdistanced a steamer. Most any airship would. It has tho advantage of gravity. It is a dull man who does not wait with more or less Interest for tho ap poaranco of tho "curvoless woman." Conan Doyle, with or without the aid of his friend, Sherlock Holmes, has succeeded at last in finding a wife. A Chicago florist is growing dahlias equipped with thorns.

They must serve Btrenuous liquids from the Brooklyn sido doors. The manufacture of glass eyes la said to bo a growing ono. However, this is not an Indication that tho stony staro will beeomo more than usually fashionable. Sweden Is staying with tho Idea of snaking tho America cup and what's more, sho will send a steel yacht, not wooden ono as first announced, after It. Moro power to hor! New York can't got over tho fact that her buildings aro high. Every tirao a steeplejack paints a llagpolo on top of ono of thorn he's good for a front pago story with pictures. Prof. Haupt having decided that Solomon did not wrlto the songs at tributcd to him, says the Washington Star, may now tako up tho question of who wrote "Laugh and the World Laughs with You." A convention for tho purpose of dis couraging fish stories is expected to bo held in Now York In a short tlmo. Whllo It is not authentically stated, it is strongly suspected that fisher men will not attend. It is probably true that tho public wolfaro and safety do not call for tho rigid enforcement of tho law which requires tho placing of exit bigns over tho doors In tho Interiors of tho country churchos. What thoy seem to neod most Is moro genera attention to tho ontranco signs out side. It is roported that a man In Denver haB married his mothor-In-law. This may seem strange, but Edgar Allen Poo, who was somewhat hypercritical, onco wroto a sonnet euloglzlnc his wlfo's mother. Still, tho Benedict in quostlon nuiBt have mixed up things considerably If Ida now apouso Bhould happen to bo a stepmother to her grandchildren. The opinion or Mrs. Gilson, of Champaign, 111., that tho substitution of tho Teddy bear for tho doll will not moan a "diminution of tho In- stInctB of maternity," carries with It the weight of hor position as president of tho National Congress of Mothors. An additional argument for tho sub sutution oi wears is mat It IlUlV hnln "io e l inmnB . the earliest possible period.

CLEWS DEFENDS ROOSEVELT The President Had no Intention of Menacing Prosperity. Facts Revealed By Government Prose cutions Justify His Actions in Turning on the Light. Now Haven, Conn. The Economic club, an organization of business and professional men, listened Thursday night to a discussion of tho question Is tho Policy of President Roosevelt Against Capital?", by Henry Clews of New York and John W. Ailing, an at torney of Now Haven. Mr. AllJng attacked the policy of tho president In strong terms, particu larly with reference to tho packing industry, tho president's ruling on tho Stnndard Oil company and tho rail road rate question. Mr. Clews, In his defense of the president's acts, was equally earnest and declared that whatever President Roosevelt had dono ho had done to promote tho public good, whether his speeches have helped to cause dis trust or not. "I contend," said he, "that ho had no intention of menac ing tho prosperity of tho country in denouncing and instigating tho prose cution of law-breaking railway cor porations and industrial trusts. While ho was instrumental in turning on tho light ho was not responsible for tho abuse of that power which tho light rovealed and It Is tho revelation of graft and illegal methods on tho part of certain railway and other cor porations, through tho acts of their responsible managers and controlling capitalists that has undermined pub lic confidence in many of them. The fact that In nearly every instance of government prosecution tho guilt of tho party accused has been proved on their trial justifies President Ttoose. volt In his action."

"On tho advice of a friend I tried Postum Food Coffeo and it so satis fied mo that I did not caro for coffeo nftor a fow days trial of Postum. "As weeks went by and I continued to uso Postum my weight increased from 98 to 118 pounds, and tho heart troublo left mo. I havo used it a year now, nnd am stronger than I ovpr was. I can hustlo up stairs 'without any heart palpitation, and I am cured of nervousness. "My children aro very fond of Post um and it agrees with them. My sis tor liked It when sho drank it at my house, but not when sho mado it at her own home. Now sho has learned to mako It right, boil it according to directions, and has become vory fond of It. You may uso my namo if you wish, as I am not ashamed of praising my best friend Postum." Namo given by Postum Co., Battlo Creek, Mich. Read "Tho Road to Wollvllle," iu pkgs. "There's a Rea-Eon."
