Two Good Cleaning Recipes.

Here is 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 4 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
tie and keep for future use. Dip a
sponge into the potato water and rub
thu soiled garment carefully. after
which it may be washed in clear wa
ter.
When ivory knife handles get discol-
ored dip half a lemon in salt and rub
ON them. Wash off Immediately in
warm water, and the handles will look
as white as when new.

To sweeten Musty Cellar.

A damp, musty cellar may be sweet
ened by sprinkling upon the floor pull
verized copperas, chloride of lime, or
even common lime. The most effec-
tive means ever used to disinfect de-
caying vegetable matter is chloride
of lime in solution. One pound may
be dissolved in two gallons of water.
Plaster of paris has also been found
an excellent absorbent of noxious
odors. If used one part with three
parts of charcoal, it will be found
still better.

ODD CHARACTERISTICS OF A WIS
coNsIN MILLIONAIRE.
Laid Foundation for His Wealth in
Chicago After Great Fire-eats at
Three-Cent Lunch Counter and
Wears Sc Suit of Clothes.

Madison, Wis.-The spectacle of
millionaire being arrested for alleged
violation of the city ordinances in
leasing property for disorderly pur-
poses has called attention to the
unique personality of Frank A. Ogden.
The capital city of Wisconsin cannot
boast many millionaires. 1t is a city
of sturdy, well-to-do people. who point
with pride to Robert M. LaFollette,
type of poor man who has remained
poor despite his extraordinary success
in politics.
But Frank A. Ogden is another type,
and 1t is probable that no city in the
country possesses a citizen who has
such quantity of contradictory hab-
its as Mr.. Ogden. His leading charac-
teristic is his eccentricity. If he were
not worth a million it would attract
but little attention, but in some ways
he emulates the late Russell Sage.
Ogden was one of the men who got
a start in the big Chicago fire of 1871.
1t may be said that his prosperity
dates from that tragic episode. With
the natural acumen of the business
man Ogden saw his opportunity and
made the most of it. He decided that
he could make fortune if he made
the proper use of his money, and
scarcely before the embers of the fire
had died down Ogden was negotiating
for leases on all the buildings he could
get hold of. Possessing ready money,
this was an easy task at that time.
He Immediately released the build
ings at greatly advanced figures. and
to this is due his rise in fortune.
Right after the fire property COM
menced to soar in value, and money
commenced to flow in steady stream
into the Ogden Golfers. Well placed
investments increased his income, and
he soon was known as one of the city's
wealthy men. For years Ogden has
lived quiet life in Madison, occasion
ally coming into, the limelight on ac-
count of his well known parsimonious
habits. He is one of the most abstemi-
Gus of the inhabitants of this city, and
says he does not know how much he
is worth.
