NJ. Vail, Secretary-Dear Sir: am
pleased to acknowledge the receipt of a
draft for $2,754, being the withdrawal
value of the twenty-share certificate
held by myself and wife. The amount
paid by US on each certificate was ST.
COS. We paid this amount in monthly
payments extending over a period of
eight years. 1t earned us a tritle more
than per cent interest, which all must
admit is a large rate of interest for
these flush times.

Laundering Linen.

Never allow linen 10 become thor
oughly dry before ironing. for ii is al
most out of the question TO make 1T
smooth after once wrinkles are dried
into it. In hanging out linen, especial
care should be taken To shake 1T, so
that no creases caused by wringing it
shall be left in 1t. Some housekeepers,
those who have small washes and plen-
ty of time, shake towels ont thorough
ly, fold the two ends together and pin
the fringe to the line, putting in one
pin at each corner and one at The mid
die They claim that the constant
whipping of the fringe wears the ends
OF the towel out much more quickly
than is necessary.
