SUMMER CARE OF BLANKETS.

Blankets which have been used all win
ter, no matter how white, are never clean,
and should be washed before putting away.
Many housekeepers satisfy themselves by
shaking and airing their blankets rather
than risk spelling them in washing. But
this is mistake, for if the work is prop
erly done no shrinking will take place, and
the fleecy soft appearance may be retained,
as well the color, for years. The necessary
thing in washing blankets is to have plenty
Of soft water and good pure soap. Inferior
soap is really tho cause of the damage
done wooden goods in washing. 1t hardens
the fibre and yellows the fabric. When
ready TO begin the work shake the blan-
kets free of dust, fill a tub half full of hot
water Dissolve third of cake Of Ivory
Soap in it. Put one blanket in at a time
Dip up and down and wash gently with
the hands Never rub soap on blankets,
or wash them on the dashboard. After
the blankets are clean, rinse in warm water
until free of suds. Add little blueing to
the last water Shake and squeeze; then
hang on the line until dry. Take down,
fold, lay under weight for day or two,
and pack securely in a box and cover.
Blankets thus washed will retain their
original freshness as we'll as wear three
times as long as if put away soiled year
after year. ELIZA r. PARKER

WHITE TOPAZ.

Dsautiful Stones to BE Seen at the
Diamond Palace.
Every day In the week and every
hour in the day one can see crowds
around the show windows of THE
CHICAGO DIAMOND PALACE. The
cause of 1t all is the now widely known
White Topaz. The White Topaz, or
carbonated diamonds, have come to be
recognized as the nearest thing on
earth to genuine diamonds, so near in
deed is it that the proprietors Of the
DIAMOND PALACE do not hesitate to
place real diamonds in their windows
amidst their display of White Topaz.
and allow the public to pick them out
at the selling price of the Topaz.
The latter stones have all the lovely
brilliancy of the diamonds, sparkling
steadily and with wonderful fire. The
thousands of these stones in the win
dows forms one of the most gorgeous
displays and has proven an attraction
which Is one of the features of Chi
cago.
In order to find out the advertising
medium best suited to their business,
this enterprising concern offers to send
q genuine White Topaz to all those
who will cut out and send them their
advertisement. which appears else
where in this paper, together with 25c
in stamps. =.
THE DIAMOND PALACE, like all
successful institutions. has many imi-
tators, who endeavor to sell cheap
rhinestones and other pastes claiming
they are topaz. We caution the pub
lie to be careful, as THE DIAMOND
PALACE, American Express building,
Chicago, are the sole importers of these
istopes.

HE CURED HIS WIFE,
PHYSICIANS FAILED BUT THE
HUSBAND SUCCEEDED.

From the Capital, St. John, Kansas.
While conversing with druggist in St
John, Kansas, the other day, a reporters
attention was attracted by Tyre attached
to the door of the drug store. Every open
ing of the door caused several balls which
were suspended from the TOP of the instru.
ment to swing back and forth, striking the
wires of the Tyre and producing very
pleasing and musical sound. Upon exam
nation we perceived that the instrument
was simply q novel scheme to advertise
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. We inquired Of
the druggist if he had much sale for the
Pink Pills, and he Informed us that they
were his leading sellers. We then asked
him what his opinion was of their curative
qualities. He told us of several cures which
had been effected by their use, one in par
ticular, that of prominent farmers wife,
by the name of Humcs.
The scribe became very much interested
and determined to interview Mr.. Humes in
regard to the matter. He spoke as follows:
81 desire to state that consider DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills one of the grandest RENE
dies ever placed upon the market My wife
had been troubled for long time with pa
ralysis in one of her arms. She doctored
with several physicians and tried every
medicine she could hear OF but obtained no
relief whatever, ! spent great deal OF
money in IN endcavor to cure her. but 1t
seemed like vain effort. AT last an old
gentleman who had used DR.. Williams
Pink Pills with great benefit, told me what
they had done for him. purchased box,
determined to test their merits.
my wife began using them, and to my
surprise, as well as hers she commenced
improving in health wonderfully, and al
this time is perfectly cured. i have used
them since myself for catarrh and found
obtained great relief They are in my esti-
nation one of the best medicines manu-
featured, and am willing at all times to
recommend them to all who are ailing, for
truthfully believe they will do all that is
promised for them"
Mr.. Humes is well known throughout
Stafford County, Kansas, and his statement
can be relied upon.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, Irregularities and all forms
of weakness. They build up the blood, and
restore the glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks. In men they effect radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry, over
work or excuses of whatever nature. Pink
Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulky
at SO cents box or six boxes for $3.50, and
may be had of all druggists, or direct by
mail from DR.. Williams Medicine Company,

Treaty for Annexation of tina Islands
Being Prepared.

Being Prepared.
WASHINGTON, june ia treaty for
the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States will be sent to the SEN
ate soon after the return of the presi-
dent, unless present plans shall be
altered.
The treaty is on the general lines of
the treaty negotiated during the ad-
ministration of President Harrison
and withdrawn by President Cleve-
land. 1t provides for annexation
without the eXaction of conditions on
the part of the Hawaiians as to the
form of government to be vouchsafed
to Hawaii, leaving the question to be
entirely disposed of by the govern
ment of the United States. This ma
ton will agree, however, to assume
the debt of the present Hawaiian gov
eminent, but will come into possession
of all the Hawaiian crown lands and
other possessions.

WhIteMashInE the Henhouae.

We never thought it worth while to
paint the henhouse, which was always
a cheap structure, made warm and
comfortable, but not stylish. But at
the time of spring cleaning it never
failed to get good whitewashing,
both inside and outside, except the
roof. 1t will destroy all the smaller
lice and all the eggs that would hatch
if this or oil were not applied to them.
The whltewash is an excellent thing
in winter also, as it makes the hen
house lighter.

Making Horses Eat Slowly.

Many horses, especially if fed grain,
eat it much too fast to get the most
good from it. If they took longer
time to masticate it there would be
less grain voided in their eXcrement
A good way to compel slow eating is
to mix with the grain few clean
pebbles, that will oblige the horse to
gather his food slowly. A still better
way is to grind the grain and mix the
meal with three times it's bulk of cut
hay, or twice its bulk of straw.
