You Can Remove 1t If You Use Ether and

In the weaving of pile fabrics little
oil is occasionally used to facilitate the
movement of the wires, and very care
less weaver may in handling the oil can
allow few drops to fall on the fabric.
No mark of this may appear at the time,
but when the carpet is on the floor the
dust which would otherwise be swept
off by the broom is attracted and held
by the oil, and spot becomes visible.
When the spot is on or near the edge of
a breadth there is another explanation.
Sometimes the cars in which carpeting
Is carried south or west have been pre-
viously used for the Transportation Of
oil, and the bottoms of these cars are
liable to become saturated with the
drippings and leakage of oil barrels.
Woolen carpeting placed in such cars
may absorb the oil, and the fact NAV
not become evident to the dealer until a
carpet SO damaged has been laid on q
floor or shown in his salesroom often
enough to catch some dust When such
spots appear in ingrains one explains
tion may be that the wool was not
properly secured. But of course, in
most instances where complaints con-
cerning spots are made, the cause need
not be looked for outside the house in
which the carpet is laid. Children or
careless servants are responsible for
most OF these spots as well as for a great
deal OF the "sprouting." Fortunately
the remedy for the trouble is simple. A
mixture consisting of equal portions OF
chloroform and ether will remove the
spots at once.-Carpet Trade Review.

When half OF his regiment went down!

His mother put on black gown.

And his was handsome young head,
All, yes, remember him well!
His brown hair was glossy and curling
