Washing Blankets.

Blankets which have been used all win
ter, no matter how white they may look,
are never clean, and should not be put
away for the summer without being wash
ed Many housekeepers satisfy themselves
by shaking and airing their blankets, rath-
er than risk spelling them in washing.
But this is an error, for if the work is
properly done no shrinking will take place.
and the softness and color may be retain
ed for years. The most necessary thing
in washing blankets is to have plenty of
soft water and good soap. Inferior soap
is the real cause of the damage done WOOL
en- goods in washing.
When ready to begin the work shake
the blankets free of dust, fill tub nearly
full of soft hot water. Dissolve third
of cake of Ivory soap in it. Put in one
blanket at time. Dip up and down and
wash gently, with the hands. Never rub
soap on the blankets, or wash them on
the dashboard. After the blankets are
clean rinse them in,warm water until free
of suds. Add little bluing to the last
water. Shake and sponge them, and hang
on the line until dry; then take down, fold
and pack in box and set away in a cool
room. Blankets thus washed will retain
their original freshness, as well as wear
three times as long as if put away soiled
year after year.

How Icebergs Are Formed.

The birth of a huge iceberg, q phe-
nomenon that has been seen only once
or twice by European, and, to a GER
stain extent, has remained a matter Of
theory, was observed by the Danish
explorers ON the east coast Of Green
land last summer. The Dergs are
formed by breaking off from the end
of glaciers extending from the perpet-
ual ice of the unexplored interior to the
coast and into the sea. The water
buoys up the sea end Of the glacier I'M
til it breaks by it's own weight, with a
noise like loud thunder miles away.
The commotion Of the water, as the
iceberg turns over and over in the eff
fort to attain it's balance, is felt to a
great distance along the coast. The
natives regard 1t as the work of evil
spirits, and believe that to look upon
the glacier in it's throes is death. The
Danish officers, when observing the
breaking off Of the great glacier, at
Puissortok, through their telescope,
were roughly ordered by their Esqui-
maux escort, usually submissive
enough, to follow their example and
turn their backs on the interesting
scene. They had happily completed
their observations, and avoided an EN-
barrassing conflict with their crew by
a seeming compliance with the order.

Two Bad Habits.

Taking strong coffee to cure head
ache is like taking whisky to cure the
shakiness which is one of the effects Of
whisky. It seems to do it, but the re-
suit is deceptive. The cure becomes q
new cause and you are worse off than
before. Better stop coffee altogether
and use Grain-O, the new food-drink.
Whereas coffee Is not food at all, but
only a nerve-fooling toxic stimulant,
Grain-O is preparation Of pure grains,
palatable, nutritious and absolutely
harmless. It is thoroughly satisfying,
four times cheaper than coffee, accept
able to the most sensitive stomach and
free from the constituents which make
coffee damaging beverage. Drinkers
Of Grain-O are never kept awake Of
nights-not by that anyway. Ask your
grocer for 15c. or 25c. package.

Civilization Does Not stick.

Seymour Foose, an old Kansan, who
now resides in Blaine County, Oklaho-
ma, gives an interesting account Of
how difficult it is to make civilization
stick with the Indian. A number of
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians have
been sent from Blaine County to be ed
ucated in the white mans ways, most
of them to the school at Carlisle. On
their return they will carry all of the
evidences of civiliza ton in white
mans clothes and speak English we'll
A few weeks contact with the tribe
works wonders. The first indication
of their return to savagery is the man
ner in which they let their hair grow
long. Next they become reticent, and
a few months puts them into the blan-
kets and Ieggings. The fact is, the
wild Indians laugh at the educated
ores and shame them into returning to
the savage state. Red Bird, chief of
the Cheyennes, is a graduate Of Har
ward, but he wears blankets and paints
his face with verm1iion.-Wichita

shot guns is deserved, for they always

ga Bundle Of Nerves.,

This term is often applied to people whoss
nerves are abnormally sensitive. They
should strengthen them with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. After course OF that be-
nign tonic, they will cease to be conscious
that they have nervous systems, except
through agreeable sensations. 1t will enable
them to eat, sleep and digest well, the three
media for increasing tone and vigor in the
nerves, In common with the rest of the sys-
tenn. The mental worry begotten by nervous
dyspepsia will also disappear.
