How to Wash Embroideries.

There is only one way to wash en-
broidered linens. A suds of warm but
not hot water and CASTLE soap should be
made. The piece should be rubbed with
the hands, but never on the board. Nei-
ther should soap be rubbed omit. When
1t has been well washed in the suds, il
should be thrown into clear water of the
same temperature, well washed in that
and then rinsed in cold water. 1t should
not be allowed to lie in any water fol
a minute longer than necessary. II
should be dried indoors, as sun and all
fade the silks. When it has been thor
oughly dried, it should be spread face
downward on piece of soft white flan
mel, damped with sponge and iroLet
with hot iron until perfectly dry.

THR CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK

The race for Congress begins to
grow interesting. Appearing in anoth-
er column is the announcement Of Mr..
L S. Gambler, Jr., who very grace
fully presents his claims to the voters
OF the 1st District In view OF the
fact that the prima les are so near at
hand, this announcement will be sur
prise to many The result of this
move on the part OF Mr.. Gambler is
subject upon which there is great
difference of opinion. The VIDETTE
believes that it is too late for any cam
didate to defeat Mr.. Allen for the nom
ination. If such thing were possible
from the beginning. Both candidates
are good democ rats, however, and
whichever is nominated receives the
hearty and unwavering support OF the
VIDETTE. We have good reason for
favoring either OF them, and while
our support shall be given to Mr.. AL
len. we have no fight to make and
shall not antagonize Mr.. Gambler.
Both gentlemen are well known to
voters OF Tishomingo county, and
nearly every democrat has decided
whom he will support as soon as he
hears the names OF the candidates. II
is, therefore. unnecessary to discuss
their merits or fitness for the position.
