they may be removed by covering them
with curd soap which has been dissolved in
boiling water. Rub thoroughly over the
spot with a brush. To remove a tallow
stain try alcohol. For vegetable. wine and
fruit stains and red ink wash with warm
soap and water or ammonia. When the

soap. Let 1t stand a while and then wash
alternately with turpentine and water.

Sensational Press.


From the Outlook
The sensational press Is probably to-day
the worst enemy of the higher civilization
in this country. 1t is doing more to de-
grade national character. to lower nation
al taste. and to misrepresent the country
in the eyes of the Old World than any
other single agency. The time cannot be-
far distant when an organized effort will
be made in some form against this central
ization of the great masses of the people

that the killing was in self-defense; that
his son had attempted to brain him with a
wagon seat, and that he had been compel
led to shoot to save his life. This plea,
however, was not substantiated by the evil
dence, and while 1t could not be established
that the murder was a premeditated one.
the jury agreed that 1t was. to say the

It seems strange. indeed. that in this cniIghten-

made FOR dry air alone. and that moisture Of any
Kind cannot enter the bronchial tubes and lungs
Yet such is the case, and the efforts of the r. r
Booth Company twho. during the past few months.
have been teaching the people that great and un-
changeable law of nature. which permits nothing
but dry air to enter the bronchial tubes and lungs
and prevents moisture Of any Kind from entering
these passagesD show how much such n lesson is
needed by the general public. The reason why 1t
has not been taught before is this: Until .'Iiyo-
mel was discovered. there has never been found
a germicide Of sufficient power to kill the bacilli
OF bronchitis, asthma and consumption. yet vola-
tile enough to impregnate every particle OF air
breathed by the patient and leave Il free from
moisture Since then. important this dis
covery considered by the medical profession, that
over thirty eight hundred physicians have pre-
scribed this new method Of treating diseases und
instructed their patients in its use.
