New York Central Innovation


George III. Daniels, of the New York Gen.
an announcement which is of rather start.
ling nature, but it is one which ought to
please the patrons of that great system, and
particularly those who travel on mileage
books. The circular reads as follows:
Mileage books, good for 500 miles and
LOCO miles travel, are now on sale at all
stations on the New York Central divisions
and branches) at the rate of $40 and $40
respectively.
These tickets are good until used, and are
available for passage on the main line of the
New York Central, and all of its branches
and divisions, including the Harlem, Put
nam, Rome, Watertown Ogdensburg,
Carthage & Adirondack, Geneva & Lyons
and the Adirondack Utica to MontreaD di-
visions.
Mileage books will be issued in the name
OF the head of family or firm, and will be
available for the use of any member of such
family or for any traveller for firm, pro-
vided the name of such member or traveller
is written in the book by the agent selling
it, in the place designated. They will be
honored for transportation by the conduct
ors of all trains, including limited trains, but
only to the end of the run of each conductor.
If the holder of such ticket desires to ride
beyond the run of a conductor, or on night
train, or to a point on branch line, he
should present his mileage ticket to the
ticket agent, who will detach the proper
mileage and issue mileage exchange ticket,
on which baggage will be checked to any sta
ton on the New Yosix Central or any of its
branch lines, thus avoiding the necessity OF
being disturbed after retiring, or of recheck-
ing bageage.-From the Pittsburgh Post.

by young or old, being harmless in their

THE MAJORS EXPERIENCE.
From the Detroit Free Press,

One of the stanchest supporters of the
deep-water way from the Great Lakes to the
ocean is Major A: c. Bishop, Of 7i5 Third
Ave-, Detroit, a civil engineer of wide expe-
rience and considerable prominence in his
profession. He was assistant engineer on the
Hudson River Railroad in 1850 and has
since conducted large engineering opera
tions. He has been located in Detroit, since
1915, and has a large acquaintance among the
business men and citizens of this city,.
Bishop was in the hospital For two months
he had the best of medical attendance, but
when he was discharged he was not like the
Major Bishop of old. When asked regard
ing his health, he said: "When l had my
last spell of sickness and came out OF the
hospital was sorry sight, l could not gain
my strength, and could not walk over block
for several weeks.

TAKING OUT STAINS.
The Proptr Thing to Do When Laun.
dering Fails to Remove
Them.

Iron rust, which is seldom account
ed for, should be removed as soon as
seen. Lay on generous coating of
salt and over this squeeze the JUICE of
lemon until wet. 1t is not necessary
to lay the rusty spots in the sun to eff
feet their obliteration. When the salt
is dry brush it off, and add more if the
stain is not quite gone. Mildewed
linen, unless of long standing, may be
restored by being dipped in solution
of lime water made by adding spoon
full of chloride of lime to quart OF
water. Repeat two or three times, in
reality washing the spots in lime wa
ter. Rinse well or the lime water will
make the material tender. This same
solution will greatly aid in the bleach
ing of yellowed clothing. Soak the
garment in the water for three or four
hours, or a whole day if it is very yell
low; then rinse well and hang in the
sun. Tar and the black grease spots
now so likely to appear on the crash
skirt in bicycling may be taken off
with coating of lard, the spot being
rubbed precisely as if it were soaped.
Wipe the lard off with soft cloth and
then wash well. 49,
When the stain is on garments that
cannot be washed spirits of turpentine
should be used. Coffee, tea and wine
stains on fine linen should be taken out
before the linen is again washed. If
boiling water passed through the
stain will not eradicate it, javelle wa
ter will surely do SO. This water, a
very useful article to have always in
the laundry, may be bought of drug
gist or may be made at home as fol-
lows: Place two pounds of hicarbon-
ate of soda and two quarts of hot wa
ter in a porcelain-lined kettle and
when the soda is dissolved add half q
pound of chloride of lime, stirring
well with wood stick. Set the water
aside to settle and when clear strain
the liquid through cheese-cloth and
bottle tightly. When using allow half
q pint of water to each quart of clear
water, and soak the stained linen.
Several hours soaking will usually OBJ
literate all stain. Rinse in at least
three waters. White goods alone may
be 80 treated, as the water will take
the color from colored goods.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
