CLEANING CARPETS.

To remove oil and grease from
carpets, spread a layer of French
chalk over the spots, cover with a
sheet of blotting paper, and iron
with warm hat-iron. Repeat the
process if necessary. Or spread
upon the stain a paste made fuller's
earth, brushing it of when dry,
aud renewing until the stain is
removed. Use gall in the paste,
to preserve the colors of the fabric
treated.
Remove oil-paint spots with
very pure spirits of turpentine.
The impure spirits leave grease
spots.
To remove grape-stains, wash
with warm soap-suds and little
ammonia water, sponging after
ward with clear, cold water.
For carpets infested with moths
or carpet-bugs, try spreading a
wet sheet on the carpet, then run
ming hot fat-iron quickly over
it. The steam will destroy both
worms and eggs.
Ii the CARPET is not to be taken
up, it can be wonderfully cleaned
and frightened by sprinkling a
handful of dry salt over it, then
sweeping carefully. Many expert
generals of domestic science use
tea-leaves instead of the salt.
Either method is excellent. OF
course, all spots and stains should
be taken out before the carpet is
subjected to this dry cleaning pro-
cess. The salt is a good moth
preventive. Administer and Tur-
key carpets should be swept al
ways the way of the pile, so that
the dust may be brushed out in
stead of into them.-March Wo.

WILD WEST SHOW
Bought BY Frank James and Cole
Younger, the exbandlts.

Paducah's fret. last and only
wild West show IL destined to
greater fame this season than 1t
has ever enjoyed during the three
years Of its existence. Informa-
tion comes from Chicago that Cole
Younger and Frank James. the
two most famous sx-bandits OF the
United States, have purchased the
properties, good will and name OF
the Buckskin Bill company at
Chicago and the 1908 tour Of this
organization will be under the
personal direction Of these two
celebrities.
The deal vas closed at Chicago
last week with the recent owners
OF the company. Allot and Hoff-
man.. II was /, A Hot. Hoffman &
OBrisn that the Terrell Bros., Of
Paducah sold the show about q
year ago. Later O'Brisn retired
from the partnership and the CON-
Germ has since belonged to his for
msr partners.
1t 10 stated that the show will
be considerably enlarged before
taking the road. but even wore 1t
left at its present dimensions 1t 10
expected that the fact that 7 ounger
and James own il would be q suf-
ficient drawing card to insure a
good patronage. Certainly its new
propristoIship will give the outfit
a good deal Of free advertising.
The Buckskin Bill show was
organized in Paducah in 1900 by
the Terrell Brothers.
