Two Good Cleaning Recipes.

Here is a recipe which is efficacious
for cleaning fabrics without inJuring
their texture or changing their color.
1t is also particularly good in cleaning
rugs and carpets. Crate two raw pota-
toes in a bowl which contains a pint
of clear, cold water. Now strain
through a sieve, allowing the liquid TO
fall into another bowl containing an.
other pint of cold water. When it
settles, pour off the water into bot
Ole and keep for future use. Dip a
sponge into the potato water and rub
the soiled garment carefully, after
which it may be washed in clear wa
ter.

ored dip half lemon in salt and rub
on them. Wash off Immediately in
warm water, and the handles will look

NECESSITIES FOR SICK ROOM.
Sir Precautions That Will Save
Lives and Money.

A set of dishes should be selected
for the sick room and these should be
washed by the nurse and never mixed
with the dishes used by the family.
The nurse should disinfect all bed and
body linen used by the patient and
also keep the sick room and all be-
longings to it free from infection.
Nothing contaminates the atmosphere
more than dust and nothing creates
worse air dust contamination than the
spilling of foul discharges on floors,
rugs and bed and body linen and allow
ing them to dry. All such foul matter
should be wiped up at once with a
moist disinfected cloth which should
be burned. A broom is out of place
in sick room 1t only scatters the
dust into the air. The only safe dis
posal of the refuse from quarantined
room is cremation. The nurse in
charge of case Of contagious disease
should avoid direct contact with other
members of the family especially chill
dren. If needs be she must mingle
with others she should have a special
gown for the sick room which should
be discarded with her cap on coming
out and always worn in the room, and
she should disinfect her hands before
touching anything outside of the room.
All these simple, commonplace quar-
antine regulations faithfully carried
out would save thousands of lives
yearly among the children of the land
and also greatly lessen the cost to
common people for illness and funeral
expenses. Nothing would pay better
than for the. heads of all American
households to be their own health of.

Kent Tax Reeeipts Iona.

termed a careful man. He has been a

was born. Mr.. King is now rs years
old. having been born in Baltimore In
1928, removing to East Liberty in
1857. His first presidential vote was
cast for John c. Fremont and his last
for Theodore Roosevelt. He is a

Freaks of Liahtninu.

Some curious freaks were played
by the lightning during a recent great
storm.
In Alnwick an old man and woman
were sitting at dinner when a flash
of lightning struck their house. 1t
came through to the dining room be-
tween them, then made for gun in
the corner of the room, which 1t
smashed to atoms, and finally went
to earth through the floor Neither
of the two occupants of the room was
hurt.
In another case the lightning came
down the chimney. bringing bricks
and mortar on the top of small
boy who was playing in front of the
fire. II then went across the room,
killing a dog that was under the table,
and out of the door. The boy was
unhurt.
In appealing for help for sufferers
from the storm, Rev. A. A. Hancock,
rector Of Little Staughton, st. Neots,
writes: Scarcely a window pane

WHAT WE OWE I'd INSECTS.
They Are Of the Greatest Benefit to
Growing Flowers.

Prof. Darwin said that II It had not
been for insects we should never have
had any more imposing or attractive
flowers than those OF the elm, the hop
and the nettle. Lord Avebury COM
pares the work of the insect to that OF
the florist. He considers that just as
the florist has by selection produced
the elegant blossoms OF the garden. so
the insects, by selecting the largest
and brightest blossoms for fertiliza-
tion, have produced the gay flowers Of
the field. Prof. Plateau. of Ghent, has
carried out series of remarkable ex-
periments on the ways OF insects visit
ing flowers. He considers that they
are guided by scent rather than by
color. and in the connection he is at
variance with certain British natural
lists. Whatever may be the attraction
in flowers to insects--as yet, 1t ap-
pears undefined-it Is certain that the
latter visit freely all blossoms alike.
making no distinction between the
large, bright-colored ones and the less
conspicuous blossoms like those of the

Latest Fad In "soeiety."

The latest fad in certain eastern So
ciety circles Is to be glum and cross.
One phase of this more than usually
absurd affectation takes the form OF
ignoring letters Of introduction and
this lack of consideration has reused
family feuds in several cases. One
wealthy young Italian, who is men,
Der OF one OF the best Roman families,
went to Newport this summer with
many letters from prominent persons.
But he has found it impossible to pre-
sent them. 1T is foolish to expect
anything from social leaders these
days and the stranger who asks to be
received by letter has hard time OF
it." said a young man whose letter to
a society matron was ignored.

VICTIM IS UNCONSCIOUS
Though Mat Minninger Received In
jury a Week Ago He Is
Still in Stupor.
Especial to Lake County Tirnes.)

Lowell. Ind, Oct. 19.-Mat Minninger
of this town is lying in a critical con-
dition at his home as the result of a
fight with Ed Hack, which had its be-
ginning in a practical joke played by
Hack Saturday night Minninger's
skull was fractured. his head striking
the stone sidewalk when he was
knocked down by Hack in a quarrel
which followed the preparation of the
Joke" He has never regained con
seriousness since the time the injury
was inflicted, and grave fears for his
life are entertained In the meantime
his assailant is at liberty under $500
bonds imposed by justice Of the peace
before whom Hack was arraigned
Thursday
The circumstances, as near as can
be ascertained, are to the effect that
Hack, in fun, squirted some water from
8 small oil-can onto Minninger. He
had been having a little sport with
some other men in the crowd of which
Minninger was one. along the same
lines, and Minninger, thinking the can
contained oil. became angry and de-
manded satisfaction with his fists
Hack, it is said. tried to persuade
Minninger that he was only in fun but
Minninger refused to be modified and
thirsted for blood and insisted on
fighting the matter out. Finally, Hack
told Minninger that if he was looking
for trouble he would accommodate him.
whereupon he proceeded to land one on
Minninger, with the tragic result re-
corded.
Young Hack was not arrested until
Wednesday, and yesterday he was ar
raigned before Justice Sanders. The
prisoner was put under $500 bonds to
appear for trial Nov. 6. In the mean
time. If Minninger should die, Hack
win be rearrested on the charge of
manslaughter. Hack is an amateur
puglist. and Minninger has always
been regarded as a strong man." and
is said also to be very clever with his
dukes" The parties to the quarrel are
said TO have been drinking at the time
it took place.
