PROPER CARE OF .lINoLEuM.
Material Does Not Need Scrubbing to
Remove Dirt.

Linoleum, while not an expensive
floor covering, is very neat and de-
sirable one
Good linoleunl, properly cared for,
should wear at least five years on a
kitchen floor, provided, of course, that
the usage is not extremely hard
In cleaning this floor covering the
fact should be borne in mind that the
dirt is only on the smooth vanished
surface and needs no scrubbing with
soap or other strong agent to remove
it.
Wiping with flannel, wrung from
warm water, or half water and half
milk, will remove all germs. A mop
is not good for wiping floors unless a
cloth is used to wipe the Dashboard
and molding after the hopping. II
this is not done the wood soon be-
comes streaked and dirty. A good
furniture polish applied twice year
will be beneficial to the linoleum.

About Stoves.

II you use stoves in the house and
they will not be in use this summer,
do not try to clean them with stove
polish, but give them a good coating
of black varnish. 1t is much nicer
than polish and will look well all sum-
mer. BY fall. when fires are needed.
the varnish will be so hard and dry
that no unpleasant odor will be notice
able when the fires are started. The
sides of the kitchen stove or range
can be treated in the same manner,
but the top must be polished with
stove polish.

FOLDING the Table Cloth.

Table cloths usually wear at the
folds before they begin to show signs
of wear generally. II is true that the
folds are not always made in exactly
the same places, even by the same
laundress, but they usually are, and
at any rate the center fold always
comes in the same place. IL is a good
plan after time to cut a small piece
off one side and one end of the cloth.
for this insures all the folds being
made in new places in the future, thus
giving the cloth fresh start, says an
exchange.

IN WESTERN CANADA.
Delicate In the Old Home; Better
Health in the New.

Churchbridge, Sask.,
December 1st, 1906.
To the Editor.
Dear Sir,
came to this country from the
State of Wisconsin three years ago,
and must say that am greatly pleased
with the outlook in this western coun-
try. For my own part am entirely
satisfied with the progress / have
made since coming here. ] have raised
excellent crops of grain of all varie-
ties. Last season my wheat averaged
% bushels of wheat to the acre, oats
60 and barley 40.
ripening successfully tomatoes, musk
melons, water melons, sweet corn and
kindred sorts.
The country Is we'll adapted to
wheat growing and mixed farming, and
to my mind 1t Is the best country un-
der the sun for a man with family
and small means, as it is possible for
a man to commence farming opera
tons with much less capital than is
required in the older settled countries.
The climate is all that could be de-
sired, being very healthy and invigor-
ating.
My wife came out about six months
ago, and although inclined to be deli
cate in the old home, she has enjoyed
the best of health since coming here.
In short, / am more than satisfied
with the land of my adoption, and
am also satisfied with the laws of the
country.
Yours very truly,

ALL CRIMINAL INSANE
NOT FOR THE PEN
May Enforce Law in Cases Only
That Have Come Up
Since Passage.

TACOMA. June 2.-Though the
new law regarding criminal insane,
passed by the last legislature, pro-
vides that patients of this class now
in the state institutions be transfer
red to the special department at the
Walla Walla penitentiary, it is quite
possible that an attempt will be made
to enforce the law only in cases that
have come up since it was passed.
Nothing definite has been decided
along these lines, but H. T. Jones of
the state board of control, who was a
visitor at the Hospital for the Insane
at Steilacoom last night, said this
was the feeling of the board at pres
ent.
There are so few cases coming I'M
der this class now confined in the
hospitals, and they are all doing so
we'll, that members of the board be-
lieve it would be better for them If
they could continue in their present
quarters rather than have them
transferred where the atmosphere
would be one of criminality, rather
than of healthfullness.
With this in view the board has
not issued orders to the institu-
lions to prepare for transfer of
patients, and will not do so until they
have been over the law with the at
torney general and see if it is pos
sible to exempt those patients now
confined in the hospitals but far on
the road to recovery. The board be-
lieves that if any benefit can accrue
from a lax Interpretation OF the law
the patients should receive the bene-
fit of the doubt.
Mr. Jones would not say last night
that there would be no transfers
made. He said that the board would
take the matter up soon and decide
what was to be done.
At Steilacoom the case that comes
under this law that attracts the mOs1
attention is that of Esther Mitchell
Since going to the institution she has
| improved wonderfully, and is very
nearly in a normal condition. While
she still feels that she was justified
in killing her brother, she has entire
| ly recovered from her other delus
ions, and is in excellent physical con
dition.
This action, if taken by the board
! of control, will make Sydney Sloane
and Chester Thompson the first cases
