WASHING BLANKETS

It is no longer considered hygienic to
dry-clean blankets. It is known that
germs will live for months in the feecY
surface of wooden goods, and that the
only way they can be really destroyed
is by the heat of the laundry. Hot
water, borax and sunshine are death
to germs. A very easy modern way to
clean blankets without fading or shrink
ing is as follows:
Fill tub full of warm water, If you
have a bath thermometer at hand see
that it registers SO degrees. Add two
large tablespoonful Of borax and
enough white soap to make good suds.
Throw a blanket in and squeeze it
gently. Do not wiring with the hands,
and by no means should board be
used else the feecy surface will fluff
up into little Jumps and the blanket be
ruined. Rub thru the hands gently, and
send thru a rubber wringer into sec
ond tub of water Of the same tempera
ture, and with the borax and soap add
| ed. Each rinsing water must be OF
the same temperature. Dry quickly in
/ the sun.
| The palest tints can be washed in
| this tway without injury and blankets
| come out looking like new without the
| drawn, haggard appearance that usual
laundry work induces. And to feel sure

RUSS LETTERS
FROM The FRONT
ST. PETERSBURG PAPERS PRINT.
NUMBERS OF THEM.
They Are Usually Rather Doleful In
Style, but Some Of Them Are More
Cheerful and Believe that the Japs
Will Soon Be on the Run-Why Let
tiers With Stamps on Them Do Not
Reach the Soldiers.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 1O.-The Rus
sian papers of late have TAX
en- to printing letters from soldiers in
the field to their people at home. The
letters are naive in thought and style,
and usually doleful in tone. One
receive orders to retreat when, in his
opinion, they ought to push forward. &
Others complain Of lack of clothing, es-
pecially boots, and ask to have such sent
to them from home. Some of them see
everything in black, and believe that
sooner or later the Russians will be de-
f tea Led BY the small III but wiry and per-
plain of the climate, the tropic heat
and the heavy rains. Many officers,
soldiers and horses, they say, have been
lost in the floods that have resulted
| from the heavy rains in the lowlands
and valleys. Others describe the con
tagious diseases that are devastating
whole camps of soldiers.
There are, however, some letters
more cheerful and hopeful One OF
them might be thought, after all, char:
acteristic. It reads: ~ want to tell
you, my dear brother, that / have it.
tea in superabundance From home we
get boots, shirts and other clothes. The
| empress herself has sent us tobacco.
Further, I want to tell you that the
war will soon be over now. The Japs
have already begun to talk of peace.
You see they have hardly anything to
eat, only dry bread, But we get all
we want by the railroad. We drive. the
| Japs back everywhere, and, besides,
some of them are coming over to u.s.
Lately four hundred came over in
bunch. In the battle of the 18th lof
August we killed 1900 and made 400
prisoners. We didn It lose more than
500 men,
* also want to tell you, my brother,
newspapers is true. They 1.-THE Japsl
thought they could fight us like they
did the Chinese, and so the japanese
car said, IN catch some fish in the
sea- and by that he meant that he
would take Port Arthur. But he didn It
take us, and he never will. Also want
to tell you, my brother, that when !
get letters from home l get SO sad at
heart that Il must cry. The comrades
ask if anything has happened, but I
can't answer them. Write soon, but
without stamps, for then the letters
are more sure to arrive. -
This letter has commended itself to
papers all over the empire, and has
! been widely reprinted, with and with
, out comment. The writer will probably
be promoted to the rank of corporal,
: which would mean an increase in his
salary to As cents a month. AS to
the stamp issue raised by this
! writer, it may be observed that Rus
| sian letters to soldiers are Free but
many do not know it, and put on post
! age. The soldiers believe that stamped
> letters are stolen by the post officials.

New York, Nov. 12.-In view of the re.
marka6Te scarcity of milling wheat and the
necessity of some form of legislation that shall
afford relief to the milling industry of the
country the Journal of Commerce and CONNER
cial Bulletin recently asked number of the
most prominent mllers in the different sections
of the country for their views regarding the
specific form of legislation most needed. Among
them were James s. Bell, president of the
Washburn- Crosby Co.. Minneapolis A. Ruyter,
manager of the Hecker-J ones-Jewell Milling Co.,
New York. and Herbert Bradley, traffic manager
OF the Milers' National Federation.
The replies to these questions show that with
a few prominent exceptions millers are in favor
of the removal or the radical modification of the
wheat duty. Fully two-thrds of the seventy
nine replies take that view. Should the tariff
be modified to meet their views there would.
naturally, be necessity for the Lowering
drawback bill. But in the event of failure to
secure appropriate tariff action the millers are
quite as urgent In their demand for the liber
allzation OF the drawback laws on the lines OF
the Lowering drawback bill.
The Journal of Commerce says: ''There is
general recognition of the fact that the duty on
wheat can be of no lasting benefit to the farmer
while 1t is serious hndrance to milling inter
ests and export trade in -four. If the duty

supply, which Is destined to be steadily In
creasing one. With the duty maintained, the
Canadian surplus must go out long lines
of transportation to get foreign prices beyont
the ocean and furnish material to foreign
mllers. This depresses the price to the producer
in the Canadian west.
with the duty removed this surplus would
flow over the border to unite with AM
furnish material for millers, and feed for cat
teraisers and dairymen. The ruling prize
abroad would be reflected back to the farmer
