ST. LOUIS TRUST co.'s.
The Attorney General Determined to
Examine Their Books

st. Louis, Dec 2S.-The taking of tes-
timony in the suit against the the St
Louis trust companies by Attorney
General Crow has come to an end. As
the case now stands there is practically
an agreed state of facts in regard to
many of the business methods of the
trust companies. They admit that
they receive money and pay out on
checks in much the same way as banks.
They receive time deposits. just as
banks do. and they pay interest on
them, and it has also been 4 custom OF
the companies to receive deposits and
pay them on demand. The chief diff
ference between a bank and trust
company requires a deposition to sign
certain regulations. which, if enforced,
would prohibit him from checking out
his deposit without giving notice. This
rule. however, has never been enforced.
The trust companies have refused to
permit an examination of their books.
Attorney General Crow is determined
to have the contents of the books re-
lating to financial transactions Of the
companies produced in evidence The
case will be taken to the supreme court
on January 13 If the attorney general
is successful in his application for leave
to examine the books of the companies
the case will not be submitted to the
courts until a later day.

OF renovating and restoring to their for

cloth or serge gowns.
Pick about 20 ivy leaves, young green
ones by choice, wash them carefully
and place them in jug or basin. Add
about one pint of boiling water, cover
up the basin or jug, and leave to soak
for two or three hours, when it will be
ready for use. Meanwhile the gar
ment must be thoroughly brushed in
side and out, and ali untidy braid or
lining removed from the bottom. When
ready. spread it on the table. and care

then be hung out to dry, when it viii
be found to have recovered its former
color and to look quite like new.
Black silk may be cleaned in the
same manner, but il needs more care.
If the silk is in breadths it must be
lightly sponged and then tightly rolled
over a cloth wound round roller and
left to dry.
Black lace may also be renovated
when soiled OF brown with age by
sponging with ivy water, and then roll

It should not be ironed.
Mix equal quantities of soft soap and
powdered starch with half the quaint

lemon juice. Lay this paste on each side
of the mildew stains and let the article
lie out on the grass night and day till

which is effectuaI. Another is to make
a paste of table salt and lemon juice,
and lay this thicl1ly on the spots, which
should have been previously wetted and
soaped: the linen so treated being left
in the open air to bleach for several
hours at least.
The best element in any of these
treatments is the nights bleach. In
towns, where this is impracticabe. the
best thing is to make n solution of equal
parts of chloride of lime and common
soda in boiling water - half pound
each of hhe lime ard soda to thres
quarts of water; dip the stains into this
for n few seconds till they disappear,
then rinse the article in boiling soap

Do not let the articles stay more than a

burn them. Whenever possible, do not
omit the night bleach. - Louisville
