There is reason in everything, but not
every reason given is true. About washing
clothes for instance, common sense and the
chemistry of everyday life teach Us that GER
tain things must be done, while others may
be left undone. Clothes must be made
clean, sweet, pure and wholesome Without
either injuring the fabric or the hands of the
lanndress. II these objects can be attained,
il does not matter - to what methods are
used, and the soap or soap powder. no mat
ter what it is called, thai will admit of the
most varied methods of use 10 the handiest
Some things, however are important to
observe. The dirtsad all soap must be en-
clothes I'd all microbes must be destroyed.
The only and easiest way TO do this is by
heating the water in which the clothes are
contained to the boiling point. The boiling
water, by constant self agitation, is forced
through the interstices of the fabrics, and
thus cleanses them from dirt, and disease
breeding microbes, As they can be cleansed
in no other way-and without in any man
ner injuring the fabric. As there is no
royal road to learning, neither is there any
easier, surer or safer way of washing clothes
clean and freeing them from all disease
breeding microbes or bacteria than by using
Pyle's Pearline, and to strictly follow the
directions accompanying each package.
Above all things, avoid any soap or soap
powder that does not work to best sdvsr tage

Among the numerous kinds of tramps
none are more thoroughly or aeedlessly va
grant than The so called tramp printers
Every one who understands anything at all
about the business knows that a first
class. industrious printer need never be
without work at good wages. IL 10 also the
common experience among publishers that
tramp printers are nearly always excel
lent workmen- These men never have the
slightest difficulty in foiing employment,
yet II is fact that no matter how high
wages they may get they will not stick to
anyone place for any length of time. They
will work we'll for while and then just
their employer is cOngratulating
himself on the prize he has discovered.
They disappear as sud lenly as tn y
come, often leaving part of weeks pay
which they have earned uncalled for. The
fascination for life Of vagabo 1iage is too
strong for them and once again they take to
the road. Later on they will pull up al
some other place, secure few DAYS or a
few weeks work. get back their lost flesh
buy some neH clothes and then take TO the
road again. There is every inducement for
these men to be industrious. respectable cti
zens They are always sure of good sltua
tons when they are willing to work aud are
able TO maintain themselves at all times with
comfort. Yet they voluntarily turn away
from these things to endure the
hardships and txcitcments of vagabond
existence 1t is hard for US to realize that
such men are IN existence, but almost every
publisher has bad experience with them.
They are certainly and purely tramps from
choice. There is no earthly excuse for
them. And the average citizen Who has to
work for living and feels just pride IN
the fact that he honestly earns it will never
undertake to apologize for men who prefer
to be trsmps rather than to be respectable,
