Proving a Statement.

A certain minister, who is an en-
phatc preacher, is at times at loss to
give his utterances proper weight. For
instance, he'll say:
This statement Is as true as is the
night which will follow day" or "as
true as that the trees will bud in
spring."
Sometimes it happens that the doc
tor has more statements than he has
illustrations to give them weight On
one such occasion he remarked. This

Hints For the Laundress,

TO wash very grimy things, such as
cveralls and working shirts, mix to
gether equal parts of kerosene, lime
water and turpentine. Shake the mix
ture in bottle until creamy, then add
a cupful to boiler of clothes. 1t can
also be used with hot suds, rubbing
directly upon dirty grease spots, allow
ing to stand five minutes before wash
ing out and then rinsing in hot water.
In dampening clothes for ironing hot
water is much better than cold. The
moisture is more even, and the clothes
are sooner ready for the iron. Knit

pieces should be merely run through
