To shake tlannels thoroughly lessons
the difficulty of washing them. An eX-
pert in laundering flannels advises the
soaking Of those that are very much
s0iled, for half an hour, in strong
solution of soap water that Is luke
warm and contains n tablespoonful of
powdered boraX. The vessel should
be covered to hold such heat as the
water possesses. After soaking,
squeeze and pull gently between the
hands, immcrSing frequently, taking
care only that no soap is rubbed on the
fiannels and that no board is used with
them. If very much soiled they should
be washed through two soapy waters
kept at the same temperature, then
rinsed through two more clear but no
cooler waters. 1t is better, after press
ing out as much water as possible, to
shake them for the riddance of further
moisture. If they are passed through
the wringcr they should be smoothly
laid and not subjected to the greatest
pressure of the rollers. Dry them in
the house or in n bright, breezy air.
They should be very lightly pressed in

ALMOST READY.
Peavy Concrete Elevator Annex at Duluth
Will Receive Grain in About D.,
aWeek

+: Duluth Herald: The new concrete
annex of the Peavey Terminal system
will begin receiving grain next week.
One half of the concrete bins are fin
ished. and next spring the remaining
half will be built. The construction OF
these bins has been IN enormous piece
of concrete work. probably the
greatest ever done in the country.
They rise to a height OF about ninety
feet and are OF solid concrete. The
whole number when competed will
have a capacity OF about 5000, 600
bushels.
The building of this system OF stor-
age bins practically cuts off the in
surance charge from The storage OF
grain, and that was the object
sought for in building them. In a
year this will amount to II large
sum, for the insurance paid Oh grain
stored in large houses is very heavy
and the elevator companies are al
ways seeking some way to lower
that expense. The same object led
to. the building OF the steel elevator
but MIR. Peavey evidently thinks the
concrete construction even better.
Before these We're built here sample
bin was built at Minneapolis, and it
was Thoroughly tested, with the re
suit that it was found to fill every
requirement.
Another feature OF this style of con-
struction is the annex can be built
alongside the working house instead
O in tandem, as is the case with the
wooden houses. The value OF this ts
Illustrated in the ease OF the Peavey
house here. Bsing alongside, it ia
possible TO work more conveyors
from one house to the other, and
this allows grain to be transferred
at a much faster rate. The capac-
ity ofthe average conveying system,
wherS the houses are arranged in
tandem, is about 1860 bushels an
hour while in the Peavey system
here twill be 40,0D0 bushels an hour.

CLOUGH MAKING LUMBER.
Minnesota's Ex-Governor is Doing Well in
the Saw Mill Business in
Washington.

Minneapolis Lumberman: Il. w.
Backus, ewho recently returned from
Alaska and the coast states, looked
over coast timber and coast mills
pretty thoroughly while out there.
He says it would make a white pine
manufacturer sick to see the way
they waste wood in che fir and
cedar. mills of Washington. II they
have log with a large butt they
start in to slab a. twelve-inch face
on the small end and when they get
get to the butt they have q great
big section OF the log to throw
away. He says they often throw
away half OF good sound log in
this fushion, for the slabs are SO
much waste. He reports one mill as
avoiding this wasteiul practice and
working on the white pine plan,
namely making all possible OF the
log. This is the new Clark-Nickerson
mill at Everett, Wash. This mill, as
many Minnesota people remember,
has at the head Of the logging and
manufacturing department David
NJ. Clough, ex-governor OF the state
OF Minnesota. Mr.. Backus says that
Mr.. Clough seems to have forgotten
all about politics and to have gone
into the west coast numbering bust
ness as II he were twenty years old
and just beginning to make his for
tune. He has all the push and en-
thusiasm he is supposed to Lave had
when as youth he began to make
his fortune in the white pine
country: He al abs his logs as he
used to in Minnesota and makes a
lot OF good lumber out OF the wood
that his competitors send to the
dump or fire. The mill and yards,
Mr.. Backus says, are in ideal shape.
He thinks the plant Is the most COM
plete one he saw on the coast. Mr..
Nickerson, who will be remembered
as a Minnesota manufacturer (irom
whom the town of Nickerson is
named) is head OF the sales and
shipping department OF his company
and is a very able man in his place.
Mr.. Backus is however very much
pleased with the rise Of Mr.. ClOugh
from the slough Of politics to the
plane Of q successful lumber manu-
facturer. 1t is not often he thinks
you can find q man with the habit
OF politics confirmed by four years
as go vernon of q state turn from his
folly and do works in a saw. mill
meet for repentance. He prophesies
a. big future for the ex-governor.

MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATION.
The Ladies' Home Journal Published Over
1000 Pictures In the Twelve
Issues of 1900.

From 1924 illustrations in 1894
to over 1900 in 1900 are the
figures which denote the numeri-
cal growth and development of
the pictorial features in the
Ladies' Home Journal in six
years. This 400 per cent in
crease in number is rather
dwarfed by the fact that nearly
1000 per cent more space is now
given to pictures than six years
ago, and that the quality, of
artistic value, of the illustra-
tions has improved beyond COM
putation. A few years ago
magazine making was thought
by some to have attained a de-
gree of perfection that pre-
cluded further advancement,
but it seems to have been in it's
infancy. The reading public
n 90 SITS upon illustrations,
and in meeting the demand it is
safe to say that the pictures
printed IN the Ladies' Home
Journal in 1900 exceed in num-
Der, size, quality and cost those
published in all the leading
MAGAZINES ten years ago.
