ing that he was about to die. At "a

out by Attorney Newman during his

be assassinated. Then, while alone in
the tabernacle. came a voice warning
him to arise and 80"

After the carpet has been we'll busted,
lay on the grass and clean with a cloth
dipped i'll ammonia water, rubbing every
part.
To wash feathers, empty them from
the ticks into large sack of thin ma
terial, through openings in each that
should be pinned together to prevent the
feathers flying about Put the sack of
feathers into tub of strong suds and
squeeze and wash thoroughly, or use a
powder. Rinse in two waters and place
over the clothes-barS out in the sun to
dry.
To wash wooden blankets First shake
and brush them WE'LL then have ready
two tubs of real warm but not hot water,
in one of which make a very strong
suds with soap that has been melted or
dissolved for the purpose. Do not rub
soap on the blanket. Wash quickly but
thoroughly through the studs, rinse well
and quickly, wiring, and hang on the line
lengthwise, so that the color at the ends
will not run through the blankets.
To remove ink stain wash the spot
in spirits of turpentine, afterward rinsing
in warm water. Fresh ink stains can
be removed by using sweet skim milk.
Clean white silk by washing and
rinsing in benzine. Dry in the open air.
Keep away from the fire.
Put teaspoonful of concentrated lye
with cup of water in kettle whose
contents have burned on the bottom, let
stand a few hours and there will be no
trouble in removing the burned sub
stances.
A few drops of coal oil added to the

To remove the odor of onions: Put
some nice fresh parsley on with your
dish of onions, and after eating them dip
the parsley in vinegar and eat that also.
You will be surprised at the effect OF
experimenting.
Heat new iron, such as ranges, very

When making ginger snaps improve

A syrup made of granulated sugar and

Discolored saucepans of enamel car

RED HOT FIGHT ON
PARCELS POST PLAN
Energetic Campaign of The Mer-
chants League.
ORGANIZATIONS IN LINE.
Pledges Sought from Congressional
Candidates of Both Parties
Small Dealers Most
Affected.

Commercial organizations and busi
ness men from all sections of the conn
try are endorsing the movement headed
by the Merchants League OF America
with headquarters at .2So Broadway
New York City, against the establish
ment by the government of 4 deficit
producing. parcels post system for the
sole benefit of the catalogue mail order
houses.
hat powerful organization known as
the Affiliated Presidents and Secre-
taries of Commercial Trade Oreaniza-
TONS, which is made up of the work
ing heads of nearly one hundred
commercial bodies, has adopted strong
resolutions against the establishment
OF a parcels post system on the
lines proposed by the catalogue mail
order houses, and the members of
these organizations are vigorously aid
ing. the Merchants League of America
iii its big campaign.
The Merchants League for some
weeks has been supplying newspapers
OF the country with facts and figures
showing that parcels post system in
the United States would raise the an
nual deficit of the Post Office Depart
ment from $I5,5oo.ooo, which it now is.
to more than $I5o,ooo,ooo 1t also has
pointed out to the bankers manufac-
turers and small merchants of the coun-
try that this deficit would have to be
made up OF taxation on the whole peo-
pie so that the small merchants are
asked by the catalogue mail order
houses to foot the bill for their own
extermination
he great deficit would be caused bv
the fact that it would cost the govern
ment approximately seven times as
much to carry parcels under the pro-
posed rates, as would be paid by the
shippers Thus the latter would get six
sevenths OF their carrying charges free,
and thus could regularly undersell the
small dealers of the country.
Pressure is being brought to bear bv
the Merchants League on the candi-
dates of both parties for Congress to
have them declare themselves on. the
parcels post proposition before the No
vember election. The merchants of the
various localities are aiding in this. and
IN October list will be issued show
ing the candidates who have promised
TO stand by the interests of their own
localities and those who have cast their
lot tor the concentration of the coun
try-s- retail trade in a few big centers,
thus curtaihng bank deposits, uewspa-
per advertising and general trade in
Ihcir nome sections
All merchants and business men are
requested by the Merchants League to
JON ITS movement and to enroll as sup
porters. Blanks are furnished by the
to all business men who
apply, and they are thoroughly informed
on the progress of the movement. Com
mercial bodies also have been urged to
aid to their fullest abilities.

FADS AND FANCIES.
BY MINNA ScHATr CRAWFORD.

With the coming of cooler days the
question of children's school frocks and
their materials are of great interest.
Checks and plaids continue to be prime
favorites, and with abundant reason, for
there is nothing so thoroughly childlke
and pretty as the gay Scotch plads.
Panama cloth in the various weights,
and in all colors OF red, blue, green and
brown has taken the place of both serge
and mohair in the children's wardrobe
Its firm texture, its pliability, its lack of
that tendency to ravel at cut edges which
makes both serges and mohairs SO diff
cult for the amateur sewer to handle;
and, above all, its iron-like wearing quail
ties have won for it an abiding place
in the affections of thrifty mothers. Ii
is a splendid fabric for young girls coat
suits or blouse suits, and will be worn
more than ever the coming season.
