They Should Always be Taken Out Before
the Articles are Washed.

All stains should be removed before
the articles are put in the washtub.

alcohol; paint, in turpentine or alcohol;
varnish, in alcohol; grass or other green
vegetable stains, In alcohol, kerosene
or molasses; for stains from blood.
meat juice, use white of egg in cold
water. In the case of milk, cream,
sugar or syrup stains soak in cold
water and wash with soap and cold
water. Tar, wheel grease or machine
Oil stains should be rubbed with lard
and allowed to stand few minutes,
then they should be washed with soap
and cold water. Tea, coffee or cocoa
stains should be removed with boiling
water; if obstinate, with weak solu-
ton of oxalic acid.-Maria Parloa, in

to the hotel.
Mrs. Dale told me that shortly after
left TIE child's hands and feet began TO
get cold and that Death soon followed"

CAUSE OF DEAFNESS
The Nest Comon Cause Only Recent,
Discovered

1t has been stated on good medical au-
thority that nine-tenths Of cases Of deaf
ness are caused from catarrh or from
sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the ear
from the throat is lined with sort Of
velvety structure called mucous men,
brane This membrane IS simply a con-
tinuation Of the mucous membrane lin
ing the throat. When disease Of any sort
attack the mucous membrane Of the
throat it is very liable to extend into the
eustachian tube and up into the ear.
The history Of nearly all cases of deaf
ness is like this: A cold is contracted
and neglected. other colds are taken. the
throat becomes sore and infiamed, which
is aggravated by particles of dust and
germs from the air This condition causes
the disease 70 spread into The tube that
leads to the ear.
1t seems little far fetched 70 say that
most cases of deafness are caused from
catarrn, but it IS certainly true, and
anyone who has had severe catarrhal
cold must have noticed how the hearing
was affected while the cold lasted.
With catarrh sufferers this impairment
Of hearing becomes chronic and grows
worse the longer the catarrh is neglected.
You can cure catarrh and deafness by
the regular use of an excellent new prep
aration called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
composed of antiseptic remedies which
act both on the mucous membranes but
principally and most effectualIy on the
blood, eliminating the catarrhal poison
from the system.
People whose hearing is defective may
think it a little remarkable that a SIM
pie and harmless tablet would very often
remove all traces OF deafness. but when
it is remembered that catarrh causes the
deafness and that the catarrh is easily
cured by the regular use Of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets. there is no mystery about it.
If you are subject to nasal catarrh or
catarrh Of throat, bronchial tubes or
catarrh of stomach and liver, the safest
and most effective treatment is the new
catarrh specific, Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, sold by all druggists at so cents for
full sized package.

Hackett calls attention to the annual re-
port OF Commander seatoa Schroeder,
governor of Guam, which shows that the
sum raised by taxation during last year
was $53.366, gam over the preceding
year Of s11.5s5. The money is applied
10 the building of roads, the repair of
bridges and the support Of schools. Com
mander Schroeder calls the attention Of
the department to the fact tuat If the SUI
preme court duties may not be levied
upon articles exported from any state
the loss of income to Guam VIII total
about ,762 and he asks an allotment
from an emergency fund TO rect such a
possibility. The three projects Of primary
IL Tortauce TO Guam says Commanlcr
Schroeder are education. good roads and a
better water supply. IN reference to the
recent trouble with the marines in Guam
Commander Schroeder says that the gen
eral feeling of satisfaction with the new
regime was shocked somewhat by THE
detestable spirit of IawIessness displayed
by part Of the marine battalion He
intimates that the marine could be dis
pensed with entirely in the island and
says that the little company Of insular
artillery which forms the constabulary is
IAN excellent body of respectful and relia-
bic soldiers VITA whose support alone
there could be no hesitation in under
taking the government of the island
In his report for the island Of Tutuila,
Samoa. Commander Tilley says that &
revenue Of $500 was raised last year
to defray the expenses of the native gov
eminent from contributions of copra from
the various districts. Mr.. Hackett an
nounces that Commander UrieI Sebree
is TO assume command of the naval sta
ton at Tutuila in place Of Captain Tilley.
Notwithstanding the lack Of interest dis
played by some states having naval mill
tia. Mr.. Hackett strongly urges a contin-
uance Of the organization and states that
the navy department stands ready to give
all possible assistance to the various state
organizations. Mr. Hackett renews his
recommendation of last year as TO the
need Ior q federal reserve, a national es-
Enlistment knowing nothing of state
lines and in no way conflicting with the
naval militia. Appended to Mr.. Hacketts
report is a report from Lieutenant Com
mander Switzerland who is in charge of
the naval militia. Commander Souther-
land points out that only two requests
were received from states for vessel to
drin and instruct their naval militia
