THE ART OF IRONING.
Easy to Do Well, With a Little Care
and Labor.

Some valuable instructions in the
art OF ironing for the amateur or ig-
norant professional are given in a re-
cent monthly. Too many people iron
carclessly and stupidity, when a little
m and labor expended on the care
or the irons, and system in arranging
things for the work before it is be-.
gun will greatly lessen the difficulty
and shorten the operation. A good
light, Il clear bright fire, when gas Is
not used, a good set of irons, not too
light, and not too heavy for slender
arms. an ample board covered with a
blanket and a clean cloth scwcd or

ance. anybody can with a little prac-
tice turn out as good work as a laun-
dry. The irons must be kept in good
condition, frequently rubbed with
brick dust and oil. and polished on a
piece OF carpet or coarse cloth every
line they are used. And they must
never be allowed to rust.
Some fastidious people have an OBJ.
lection to having their underclothes
ironed at all, for they know the care

use dirty irons, mix clean and soilcd
garments, and leave the clothes hang

MORE INDICTMENTS
FOR OIL TRUST
More Than Six Thousand Counts
in Findings of Chicago
Grand Jury.
ALL IN CONNECTION
Z WITH REBATE GRANTING
Heavy Penalties Attached if
Conviction Should Be Had
on These Counts.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-The first and
second Federal grand juries today re-
turned ten indictments against the
Standard Oil company before Judge
| Bethea in the United States Circuit
| court. The indictments. which contain
! o42s counts, are all in connection with
| the granting of rebates
No railroad was mentioned in the in.
| d1ctments returned TODAY,
Each of the 642s counts in the ten
indictments covers an alleged offense
| and is based on tank car SHIPMENT Of
petroleum products from the re6neries
at Whiting, Ind. According to state
ment issued after the indictments had
been returned from the Office of the
United States District Attorney, these
shipments were carried by the follow
ing roads:
Chicago; Burlington & Quincy, Chi
cago & Alton. Chicago e. Eastern Hi.
nois. Evansville g. Terre Haute, nli-
nols Central. Southern and Lake Shore
4 Michigan Southern.
According to this statement. the Bur
l,ngton and Alton roads chad published
lawful rates of IS cents per hundred
poupas to East st. Louis from Whiting
and 1872 cents to ST. Louis, but carried
oil for the Standard Oil company on a
secret unpublished rate at S and 10
cents to those points. respectively,
The statement then continues
Heavy Concessions Made.
On shipments TO points in the South
beyond Grand Junction the Standard
Oil company should have paid the diff
ferent lawful rates for the defendant
points of destination, but was given
concessions which averaged about 27l5
per cent of the published rate. The
same ls true of shipments handled by
the Chicago G. Eastern Illinois and
Evansville & Terre Haute to Evans
vile. Ind. and points beyond.
The concessions given to the Stand
ard Oil company by the Lake Shore g.
Michigan Southern road were in the
shape Of cancellations of storage
charges at Chicago of cents per ton
Other oil shippers compelled the stor
age charges.
"The charges against the Illinois
Central and Southern railroads are the
same as those in relation to the ship
ments made to points beyond Grand
Junction.
1t was charged by the District At
torney's Office that the penalty for each
offense alleged in the indictments is
fine of not less than $1,000, nor more
than $4,000. 1t is believed by the
Government attorneys that the lawyers
for the Standard Oil company will en-
ter the appearance of the corporation
in court as soon as they have exam
iped the indictments. There is no au-
thority at present allowing the arrest
of the officers Of corporation against
which indictments have been found,

To The Fruit Growers of Virginia

Sirs:-As the time from now UNI
til the buds begin to push out is
very short, and the dormant season
is the very best time to spray orcn.
ards for the San Jose Scale, We
wish to urge you to act at once:
With yer, few exceptions, trees
infested with San Jose scale will
die unless they are treated.
1t will spread to the orchards
near and destroy them also,
The law requires all infested or.
chards to be- treated,
If YOU treat the orchards CARE
FULLY, you will be able to check
the pest and keep the trees in good
condition
Treat the entire orchard in which
infested trees are located, for there
may be plenty of scale on trees to
breed and injure them badly before
the summer is over and yet not
enough to show up to any extent
at this time.
The lime sulphur wash is recon-.
mended for this purpose, and
should be made as follows:-
Take an iron kettle that will
hold about twenty gallons; place
over a fire and put four to five gal.
Ions Of water in it. When the
water gets warm. add fifteen pounds
of good, qu ok lime, then as soon as
Stacking begins. stir with wooden
paddle or hoe and add fifteen
pounds of sulphur. Continue to
STIR hriskly so as to mix it. we'll
with the lime, and add boiling
water as needed so as to bring the
mass into thick paste. Stir well
while in this condition and mash
all Jumps. then add five pounds of
salt and enough water to make
twelve or fifteen gallons. BOIL
THE MIXTURE VIGOROUSLY
for forty minutes. and then strain
into the spray barrel and add water
to make fifty gallons. This wash
will lot affect the scale, unless it is
well cooked,
Stir the mixture occasionlv while
cooking to prevent it from cakirg
to the bottom. and add hot water
when necessary to prevent it from
boiling down to a thick mass. This
method Of preparation is suited to
small orchards. A more complete
outfit will be necessary. if large
orchard is to be treated.
Either cold or hot water NAV be
used in diluting the mixture, AFT
Err 1T HAS FINISHED COOK
ING, and it is better to put part OF
the water into the spray barrel and
pour the lime. sulphur mixture in
to it. SPRAY this mixture on the
trees so thoroughly as to coat every
part fully. For further informa
ton. see bulletin al with circular
80 attached, or address the State
Entomologist, Blacksburg, Va.
Respectfully,
j L Phillips,
State Entomologist
