Colonel Bryan Keems to be one of the men who liuve bad Independence thruBt upon them. Great Drltnln has doubled the num ber of wlrelcBB messages sent in the last three months. Joubert wisely remarked that "Gen- Jus begins great works , but labor alone HnlBhes them. " Better late than never. Out of each thousand men In England who marry , thirty-eight arc 50 years of age. William Jennings Bryan doesn't have to go to New York any more to discover "the enemy's country. " Nobody need tremble In the United States about Japan at present. Japan Is having Its quakes right at home. Senator Gore may not have been bribed but all will agree that "Lo , the poor Indian" was most awfully Bwlndled. The Filipinos are becoming Ameri canized at a rapid rate. They are discarding the shovel and hoe and looking for jobs as bosses. Quebec has a citizen after Mr. Jloosevelt's own heart. lie Is the fa ther of thirty-one children , twenty- three of whom are now living. It is a stunning blow to the versa tility of the ex-president to have Colonel Roosevelt admit that he does not know how to milk a cow. In spite of ridicule opposition and their own frequent tactical mistakes the woman suffrage advocates of Eng land are making some headway. The women who are writing nice letters to Dr. Crlppen might better be smoking cigarettes if they were to choose the lesser of the two evils. A Pittsburr multimillionaire has started in the chicken raising business as an amateur He will never'have to worry , as Carnegie has , about dying rich. Italy claims to own the largest hammer in the world. It is to bo hoped that neither La Toilette nor Cummins will ever come into posses sion of it. The supreme court has given a de cision to the effect that the manufac turer or wholesaler , and not the re tailer , is responsible for the sale of adulterated goods. While Gifford Pinchot Is an enthusi ast over the tall timber and an ad vocate of the growing forests , he promises.to be quite active on the stump this fall. Teddy starts on a speaking tour August 25. People won't read stiff and starched articles as they used to. The voter must be pursued to his lair among the blueberry bushes. If the Mississippi river continues to subside because of drouth , the Upper Mississippi Improvement association will be able to see exactly where the channel needs straightening. Another international opium confer ence is now assured at The Hague this fall. To Bishop Brunt of the Philip pines largely belongs the credit of se curing this International co-operation. The most prosaic theory ever ad vanced to account for the beautiful complexions of English women is that of an English doctor who says It Is ' the result of eating generously of pork and bacon. The fact that people wore given two eyes and two ears and only one mouth IB Interpreted by a bright exchange to mean that they should do twice as ! much hearing and seeing as they do 1. talking. Kansas wants thousands of farm hands , and Spokane Is In need of hun dreds of school teachers. So there seems to be work for both men and j women In different sections of the great west. The National Fine Arts commission has decided that the wall which ex tends from the capltol to the Wash ington Monument shall have no statu ary erected upon or near It , which IF not possessed of enduring merits as art ihis is a commendable decision , pro viding the commission can agree on what possesses real art. Twenty-flvo thousand plumbers have struck in Paris , but unless French plumbers work raster than the Amer ican species , little difference would be noticed In the progress of the work by that number quitting. The BinalleBt and meanest graft ever heard of halls from New York , which city also furnishes pome of the larg- est. But when a Gotham milk man kicked his milk can full of dents seas as to reduce their capacity , he must nave wanted to cheat very badly. | The national guard encampment of the Knights of Pythias will be hold In Milwaukee from Scpteinbir 1 to 10. It Is anticipated that this will be the lii'yfKt at Untied encampment and most brilliant parade eve' ijlu'ii by this mnt frateinal organlznlii. ! . . A government bulletin claiming great things for Porto HIco as a health resort , refers to It as the land of perpetual summer. That announce ment was very ill timed. If kept In ' cold storage until January the effect would have been much better. Now that everybody who can , rides , there Is spreading a real fad for walk- Ing. In New York state they have added a regular walking course to the school curriculum in many towns. The teachers chaperon their classes each day for so long a time while a five mile hike is taken. While congress adjourned some time ago quite a number of national legislators will be kept busy all sum mer , carrying on the numerous in vestigations which were set on foot by the present congress. The number of these inquiries is record breaking , however they may turn out as to re sults. President Taft will spend three weeks in November In the canal zone. He rightly considers the completion of the Panama canal as one of the great executive responsibilities of his administration and commends him self to the people by the personal in terest he takes in the great national enterprise. It is cheering to learn that sour milk is becoming fashionable among the ultra society people as the proper health remedy. This will help some among the people who have always preferred their's sweet , but who are unable to secure any but what is sour these hot dry summer days. Teachers are being urged to bring Into effect better methods of teaching Latin and mathematics , which shall make these branches more interesting to their pupils. The claim is made that the boys prefer baseball and the old swimming hole to arithmetic or grammar. They always did and prob ably always will. Even Theodore Roosevelt sometimes embarrasses his friends. Hamilton W. Mable , the author and essayist , is traveling in Europe. Arrangements had been made for an audience with the pope during his visit to Rome , but when it was learned that he was con nected with the Outlook he was given to understand that his call would be undesirable. An attempt has been made by Ber muda to exclude from the market all so-called Bermuda onions which are grown outside of Bermuda. But the consumers feel that a Bermuda onion by any other name would smell as sweet and care little whether it is raised in Texas or Bermuda if they only get all they want to smother their beefsteak in. The exports of wheat , corn , lour and meats from the United States in 1S92 amounted to $161.000,000 while for the year ending July 1 , 1910. It was only $47,000,000. With our millions of acres of undeveloped or partially developed fertile lands this should not be. The land offers for thousands independence and health and "back to the farm" is a common sense cry which many would do well to hear. Statistics show that the increase in our trade gains with the western hemi sphere have been far greater than those realized from our eastern trade. The conclusion to be drawn is that while it behooves us to look to all , the world for our markets , the most , inviting field Is that included In the western hemisphere. We are getting only a fraction of the trade so easily within our reach in Latin-America. The mothers or fathers who are | wondering where their boy or girl is at night have woefully failed some- . where or somehow In giving to their children the companionsMp and personal - ' sonal Interest which theif growing minds and hearts natural.'y and right fully demand. Every boy and girl who habitually seeks the street at night , in quest of life , is 'a ' living in dictment of the homo from which they come. John W. Kern doesn't like It because Roosevelt is going to make speeches in Indiana for Beveridge. Ha says it Isn't nice for ex-presidents to do such things. There is no question but what It will not prove "nice" for John W. Kern , the democratic candidate for the senate. This is the 'steenth tlmo Mr. Kern has run for some kind of an office , including the vice presidency and never yet scored a victory. Mr. Kern evidently has more persistency than he has political sense. He 1 go i down into history as the champion standard i bet-arr ol untorrilled democracy - ii racy i who never won a battle. Ollle James of Kentucky , the brlli Hunt ; orator-congreBsman , Is carrying the entire country for the democrats this fall. It Is always observable that the democrats in every campaign are a great deal nearer carrying the connI try In August than 'hey are In No vember. Brother James and his party associates never seem to take Into account - count that "sober second thought" of the people which saves them from acting as foolishly as they sometimes talk. Ellis Parker Butler , the author of "Pigs Is Pigs , " and other books which have added to the world's laughing stock and his own fame and bank account , was lately asked by his pub lishers as to what his literary plans were. His answer is characteristic. He replied : "My method of producing literature Is more on the 'spur of the moment" order and resembles a cat having a lit. A cat hardly ever plans out a fit very carefully. When It gets ready to have a lit it goes ahead and has it ; sometimes it is a good lit and sometimes It turns out to be a mere fizzle , and sometimes the cat thinks it Is having one of the best fits it ever had , and then the fit critics say it Is a might poor Jit. I may have a lot of fits this summer , and I may not have any. That's the way it goes. " ' The leading newspapers and also thoughtful men of the south are urg ing upon the people the necessity of a change In crops and methods of culthntlon. Since the civil war left the southern states devastated and almost without live stock , the chief crop has been cotton , because cotton meant cash. But now the prosperity of the south would be greatly advanced - ' vanced by a return to raising part corn and feeding it to live stock. The south has not only the pastures , but the climate and soil to enable it to far outstrip other sections in stock raising if it will only pay attention to this line of industry. IS NORFOLK THE GOAT ? A good many months ago the Un ion Pacific promised that Norfolk' should have a new and creditable rall-j way station , and stated that work would be begun about June 1. General Manager Mohler , himself , came to Norfolk in a special train and made the promise. June lias come and gone and July is history. August is on its way , but still the disreputable old shark of a station is doing its best to serve the traveling public , and there's no signs of any excavating for the foundation of a new depot. In certain quarters in Norfolk the promise that a new depot would be built has been laughed at. Did the Union Pacific railroad mean what it said , and is it going to keep its promise to Norfolk , or is Norfolk once again the goat ? It's about time for the dirt to fly. UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. If Governor Hughes is made chief justice of the United States supreme court , as seems probable , he will es cape being hazed by his associates on the bench and also will be the lead ing actor in a little performance that takes place each day , strongly smack-1 Ing .of the theatrical. In the highest judicial tribunal in the land , as in the colleges , at West Point , boarding schools and other institutions , hazing of newcomers is a popular pastime. The judges initiate baby members by requiring them to do drudgery of writing the bulk of opinions. To them is assigned the job of prepaiing de cisions in nearly all of the less im portant cases. The chief justice as signs this duty , and , of course. Gover nor Hughes , If he takes the late Chief Justice Fuller's seat , probably would not care to reverse traditions by re quiring the chief Justice to do too much work. Justice Lurton is the i baby In the court and he htis been fondly hoping that his period of haz ing would end with the seating of Gov ernor Hughes. From time Immemorial the supreme court has opened each day with a parade. Promptly at the hour of 12 ! the small mahogany doors on either side of the outer corridor fly open. Be hind the west door stand nine black : robed figures. They are the justices preparing to enter the court room. At their head stands the chief justice. He heads the slow moving , solemn procession which winds across the corridor , stopping all movement be tween the senate and the house. An ' instant later , the line appears at tl e J entrance to the courtroom. Every body in the ropm stands nt respectful attention. The black gowns move slowly and stately back behind the row of seats. Finally the chief justice stops at the central opening. He stands motionless while the first four Judges continue to their places. When all have reached their chairs , the chief justice gives the signal , bowing to his associates and then to the .courtroom , and all take their seats. rThe | proceeding Is never varied In any way and it lends an additional touch I fit awe and solemnity to the sombre court. ROOSEVELT'S DEFEAT AT HOME. Honors are even between Colonel Urjan I and Colonel Roosevelt , when It I comes to being turned down by their I own parties in their own states. Perhaps 1 the political sensation of the summer i was the defeat of Colonel Roosevelt 1 Tuesday afternoon In New York , In the state republican central committee i , by a vote of 20 to Ifi , for temporary I chairman of the forthcom ing I republican convention. Colonel iloosevt'lt had been previous ly 1 consulted regarding the position and i had stated that ne would accept. It was taken for granted over the' country i that he would be given the chalinmnshlp. < But "the old guard" of i the party in New York , deeming that Colonel Roosevelt had been at tempting to dictate the politics of the state , brought about his defeat. The colonel's friends were chagrined. One of the colonel's closest friends said that there was no question of en dorsing or not endorsing the admin istration involved. "If an effort Is made to show that the choice of Vice President Shearman Is an endorse ment , whereas the choice of Colonel Roosevelt would not heve been , It must of necessity fall , as Mr. Reese velt's views regarding the conduct of public affairs by his successor are well known , " Mr. Grlscom declared. This would seem to Indicate that Griscom believed that Roosevelt was an ardent out-and-out administration man and that , while he hadn't done so publicly , privately Ke had been en dorsing President Taft. As a matter of fact it may have been this very lack of public utter ance upon the subject that led the "old guard" in Now York , when they got in control of the state central committee , to defeat him and to place in the temporary chairmanship a man whom they knew stood for -the Taft administration. If the colonel is a sure-enough administration endorser , as Mr. Grisom has intimated , it is likely that a public word from him on that point might have saved this embarrassment in his own state. THE FIRE-EATING INSURGENT. A chautauqua incident of the past week in Norfolk brought out a condi tion of the public state of mind which is not a complimentary commentary I upon this country at the present time. It was announced from the ! platform from day to day , after it became known that Senator Cummins | I was not to be here , that Senator Clapp would come to town and that he was one of the most radical of all the ( I fire-eating insurgents. This brazer ; announcement was made , apparently , with the idea that the more radical this insurgent could be painted , the bigger would be the gate receipts. ) ' It is indeed a peculiar state of af- I fairs when the very fact that a man is advertised as an insurgent against his own party and his own govern- i ment , proves a drawing card on the lecture platform. It is strange that the mere fact that a man is out preaching discontent , shouting denun ciation against things as they are , in stilling lack of confidence among , the j people in the nead of their government - ; ment , and ranting around in general against all conditions that come to mind , should make that man attract ive to the populace. And the fact that a chautauqua organization should make capital of such a creature of dig- 1 content , is not a worthy reflection 1 either upon the public or upon the political conditions of the times. It might prove profitable to pre sent the most notorious outlaw of Mexico , or the brother of Jesse James or the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight films , as chautauqua attractions , but their drawing powers would be poor . examples of the public taste and their uplifting influence might well bo doubted. i As former Governor Buchtel of Colorado , in his letter to The News , , remarked , the preaching of dlscon- . tent in a country like ours is almost j a crime. The preaching of discon tent insurgency against Gaynor through Hearst's papers resulted a week ago in the shooting of the mayor of the biggest city in the country. The same sort of preaching against the head of the government n few years before , resulted In the dastard- assassination of McKlnley. The preaching of discontent Insur- I gency against the administration , re- . hellion against the government In | the early ' 60s led to the most disas trous internal strife that this or any other country has ever known In those days it was not called by the gentle name of "insurgency , " but was baldly labelled "rebellion. " And the same sort of preaching now , against President Taft and his administration , by demagogues who have no thought of the country's good In mind but who are merely self- seekers of the most vicious type , can only result in n turmoil in the public mind which must have serious effect upon the wellbelng of the nation both In a business way and a social way. It is time that the professional dem agogues who go about tearing down and throwing mud nt the government , ne relegated to the rear. It Is time that the self-seeking knocker ho al lowed by the public to talk to empty chairs. It has been too frequently shown by the brainless fool who shouts "Fire" In a crowd , how quickly the public can be thrown Into a panic by alarming suggestions And the same lesult muni tome to the nation If the lire-eating Insurgent and the vicious . \ellow magazines such as Collier' ? and Harper's papers' , continue yelling about everything In exlstance and try ing to excite the public mind Into a state of panic. I AROUND TOWN. I Mayo. * Gaynor's coming back. , i ! i ' It never rains but It pours. Wendling has Mended his way back to Kentuck. 1 Why shouldn't Gaynor gain ? What's In a name , anyway ? I This has sharpened up the blades of grass in the pasture. The primary Is over and we're in the throes of a campaign. The noise of diipping rain drops made the corn prick up its ears. Your cistern ought to be fairly well taken care of for the time being. Cummins isn't cummin' . ( This was two days late in comln' but it ar rived. ) A Norfolk woman called up a de pot the other day and asked what was the time of the 12:50 : train. The farmer who comes to town on top of a load of hay these days , may be said to be rolling in wealth. It's he-en mentioned before , but how do you like to have the telephone ring and a voice at the other end say : "Hello , who Is this ? " [ I ' It's against the rules for the play ers to gamble on the green at the Nor folk golf grounds , but they let the sheep gambol there all they darn please. But they look sheepish when they do it. Wasn't that just like a woman , for Clara Leneve to go and spend her last dollar for a $20 wig ? And yet what man will dare say she didn't exhibit rattling good sense in doing it , under the circumstances ? ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS Whisky would naturally have a 'bad reputation if for no other reason than its associates. A soldier's Idea of a good time Is to see a commissioneed ofilcr convicted j , | by a court martial. "No happiness save in mental and physical activity , " says the New York Journal. What a sin it Is for a man to be idle ! Women are at liberty to frivol , but it's against the law" for men. Title of a late serio-comic song1 "He'll Bring It Back When He dis covers What's in It. " It has been discovered by a society i with a name so big that we can't pro nounce it , that there are no woman angels. It may be stated , incidentally , that it is a good deal easier to drive a man to drink than it is to drive him away from it. Our idea of a lonesome person is a preacher whose vineyard happens to he situated in Reno , Nevada , at the present time. An Atchfson woman was rolling and tossing in bed last night. ' 'What's the matter ? " her husband asked. The wife , who is somewhat dyspeptic , re plied : "Calves' liver and bacon. " Addressed to girls : If the man you are engaged to should quit , would you sue him for breach of promise ? Or would you take poison , or get another young man. When travel becomes so light that only the hotel proprietor , members of the family , and employes , appear in the dining room , then times are really dull. We often see this sign In front of stores : "Tickets on sale here. " ( Re ferring to some amateur entertain ment that Is about to be given. ) We often wonder If a man ever walked into one of these places , and called for a ticket. We like to visit in St. Joe , the people ple up there are so modest , but Kan sas City people are so Superior that we feel uncomfortable In their pres ence. A Kansas City man is like a congressman : Ho Is really anxious to be a "good fellow , " and "mix" with the people , but he can't disguise the fact that he feels Superior. Perry Hayes prides himself on re membering more names than any other man In town. Today we asked him the name of a certain man. "I have dropped his name from my memory , " Mr. Hays said ; "he always drives such a poor horse that I don't like him. Bryan Smith will probably remember his name. " ( Note Bryan Smith is Perry's rival In remember ing names. ) Some day we Intend to write a book , entitled "A Certain Poor Man. " The hero of It will bo nn Atchlson man we know. He Isn't worth hell room ; ho was born worthless , is worthless now , and will bo worthless as long as ho lives. The history of this man would , wo bollove , prove interesting. Within a month ho has had five different jobs. He was able to hold one Job four days , but in the others he didn't last that long. Home Course In Domestic Science XII. Hints on Home Laundering. By EDITH G. CIIARLTON , I la Chirfit of Domeitk Economy , low * State College. Copyright , 1910. by Amcriun FraM AiiocUtlon. many women the laundry is the TO least Interesting part of the home , and often the weekly washing and ironing are tliu work most dreaded by the entire family. In fact , In nmny homes they prove to be the one Insurmountable tusk , and because no other solution Is found for the problem the washing IB sent to the laundry or is done In any way and by any one so long as it la taken out of the house. Why the washing and iron ing should prove such unpleasant work as to cause both mistress and maid to rebel against It HUN always been a mys tery to me. I can explain It only by the natural supposition that neither knows how to do It well and that the possi bilities for doing the work quickly , easily and thoroughly are few in most houses. We generally find that n prop erly equipped laundry Is among the last things to be added to the house and that in the majority of cases a tub or two. perhaps n washing ma chine of possible merit and occasionally - ally a wringer comprise the average washing outfit In private homos of moderate means. And , small an that equipment is. it can be made to give very satisfactory results if a little knowledge and Intelligence are brought do the task. The trouble is most wo men do not like to wash because they have not been taught to do it prop erly and because they make extremely bard work of it. They appreciate to Koine degree fine fabrics and dainty clothing , but they do not , as a rule , appreciate these to the extent that makes them desirous of preserving' materials and colors. I While It Is difficult at any time and , In almost any locality to obtain well j trained helper'tor housework , it is often an easier i.isk to get a good cooker or housemaid than it Is to find a first WASHING IKT UNATTUACTIVE. class laundress. Because of this it is all the mqre necessary that the mis tress of the bouse should be familiar with fabrics and how to cleanse them. The Modern Laundry Equipment. Whenever possible the laundry should be a separate apartment in even small bouses. It may be located in the basement or adjoining the kitchen ; but. wherever it is , the room should be well lighted and well ven tilated and should have a good floor and hard finished walls. There should be no soft or porous material used in the laundry to absorb moisture. For a small home laundry the following list of furnishings will be found sufficient : Three or four tubs , stationary if pos sible , made of soapstone. enamel or porcelain ; a good washing machine , clothes wringer , clothes stick , clothes boiler , tin or copper ; zinc or glass washboard , clothespins ( kept in boxer or basket ) , water pail , clothes basket , scrubbing brush , large granite spoon , galvanized iron clothesline , skirt , sleeve and bosom boards for ironing , ironing blanket , mangle and several good Irons of different weights. An electric or even a good gasoline Iron ia such a valuable labor saving device that its first cost should seldom be considered , because It very soon more thaja repays It. IteGldea : &H amount of furnishing a number of common suDstiirices for removing stains of va rious kinds should always be on hand. Among those most frequently needed may be mentioned borax , ammonia , salt , vinegar , alum , naphtha , muriatic and oxalic acid. These should be kept in a closed box and out of the reach of children , as some of them are poi sonous. Wax , blueing , starch , French chalk and Javelle water are also often needed In the laundry , and If a supply of them Is kept on hand time and ef fort nuiy be saved on washing day. A. valuable addition to this equipment would be nn electric or water motor with which to run the washing ma chine , wringer and mangle. With such an addition it Is possible for one wo man to finish a large washing with comparatively little outlay of strength. Removing Ordinary Stain * . Washing Is the mechanical cleansing of clothes to remove all Impurities and dirt. To do this four simple , short rules should be kept In mind viz : Get out all the dirt. Keep all articles a good color. Use notuing to Injure the material either mechanically or chemically , Hitrv fume dullnltt1 knowledge of dif ferent fabrics In order to treat each in the way leant llUrly to Injure or change Its character. Unsatisfactory lestiltB In laundry work can often be traced to careless ness In preparing the various iirtlclen to be washed. Too often articles coarse and line , white ami colored , are put Into the suds together without the slightest attention to such pro- llmlnury steps In tbe process , IIH nort- ing , removing mains , temperature and Roapltu'HH of the water. After sucli indiscriminate preparation what won der if line muslins are BOOH torn or made yellow , If ntuliiH are made per manent and the entire washing takes on a dingy hue ! Before any article In rrnt to the wash it Hhould be examined and all stains carefully removed. This requires care and Boinc knowledge of chemicals ami their action on fabrics and stains. All KtaltiB cannot be removed by the same Biibstanco or In the HIIIIIU way , and yet it Is remarkable how mnny different kinds of fltalim may be removed by cold water alone. For this reason I recommend that all articles be soaked in cold water for fifteen mlnutca or longer before being put Into the wash ing suds. The white pieces should , of course , be kept by thcniHclvcs , and 1C there Is any question about the fast ness of any color a little Bait and vine gar added to the cold water will help to net It. Alum added to the rinsing- water will make the color Btlll more permanent. The following are general directions for removing stains of va rious kinds : Tea and Coffee. Spread the stained part over a bowl and pour boiling wa ter over It from n height. Chocolate and Cocoa. Wash first in cold water , then rinse and pour belling - ing water through it. Fruit. Many fruit stains may bo softened and dissolved by alcohol. X heated the alcohol will be more effec tive. For peach stain it may bo neces sary to use diluted muriatic acid or Bulphur fumes. Boiling water will re move fresh stains of small fruits. Grass. Alcohol will dissolve the green coloring matter. Washing with naphtha soap and warm water or uprcadlng on a paste made of soap and baking soda will also remove grass stains. Grease or Oil. Soak Orst in cold water , then wash with cold water and soap , then dry and If necessary use other agents. Chloroform or ether will remove grease from fabrics which cannot be washed. Wine. Put a thick layer of salt over the stain from red wine while fresh , then pour boiling water over it. If a yellow wine wash first with cold wa ter , then with soap and water. Ink. If stain Is on a white garment put to soak for several days in milk , changing frequently. Red Ink poured over tbe black will remove the black stain. The red may be washed out In cold water and ammonia , then boiled. Equal parts of peroxide of hydrogen and ammonia may remove Iresh stains. Oxalic acid will remove old ink stains from white garments. Salt and cold water may be used in fresh stains on delicate colors. Iron Rust. If fresh , lemon juice , salt and strong sunlignt may remove stain , but generally It is better to use muri atic acid at once. Spread the stain over a bowl containing a fairly strong solution of borax and water or soda and water. Drop muriatic acid on the stain a little at a time until it darkens , then rinse thoroughly in the borax and water. Mildew. This is u mold growing on the liber of the cloth. It fresh it may be removed by wetting In strong soap suds or covering with u mixture of chalk and salt and bleaching lu strong sunlight lor several hours. Old mildew stains can rarely be removed without Injuring the fabric. Milk or Cream. Wash out with cold water and later use soup and cold wa ter. Point or Tar. If fresh and washable use soap and water or rinse In tur pentine , then wash. If not washable use gasoline. If dry soften with lurd or oil , then treat as for fresh paint. Perspiration. Dse cold water and soap and put the garment in the sun , for several hours. The perspiration under the ifrms Is different from that of the rest of the body and requires diluted muriatic acid to neutralize it. Sugar of Gum. Dissolve with warm water if washable , with alcohol if not washable. Blood. Soak In cold water , then rub out in fresh tepid water. If very dry soak and wash out or use peroxide of hydrogen or Javelle water. A word of caution is necessary when using acids to remove stains. These should not be used on colored fabrics , and after using on any white article always rinse thoroughly In borax and water or ammonia and water and aft erward in clear water. Javelle water is an excellent bleaching agent which will often remove old stains. It ia easily made and may be kept indefi nitely In glass bottles In n cool , dark place. Juvelle Water. Dissolve one pound of salsoda In two quarts of boiling wa ter , then add one-fourth of a pound of chloride of lime. Stir with wooden stick until lumps are broken , then let stand several hours to settle. Pour off clear liquid and bottle for use. For bleaching purposes use one-half to one cupful to one pall of water. Always rinse thoroughly In ammonia water. To remove stains brush over with Javelle water full strength , then rinse quickly In ammonia water. Some practical suggestions for wash ing sllkB. woolens and laces , starching , etc. . will be given lu a later article.
