On the maids day out.

oA Cuc iudAu . udS oul.
Luncheon should be served very
promptly on that day.
The maid should wash the dishes
and prepare the table for the evening
meal.
This is the night to have the dainty
things you like to prepare for your
sell.
Never make it a pickup meal, dread
ed by the man of the household.
1t can be ever so simple supper
and yet be the event of the week.
The clearing up can be made FAM
lily picnic.
Or there can be an understanding
with the maid that she is to do the
dishes next morning.
In this case they should be careful
ly scraped and put to soak in water
over night.
Velvet so easily pushes that it Is
an extravagant article to use.
: Grease spots or stain caused by
wear may he removed with turpen-
tine rubbed on briskly with bit of
flannel. Two or three applications
may be necessary.
The pile of velvet and velveteen may
be raised by stretching it tightly over
the top of a basin holding boiling
water and stroking it gently in the
opposite direction with a soft brush.
Most velveteens will wash, not once,
but many times, if they are handled
properly. Put them through two
fathers of warm, soapy water, using
a moderately stiff brush along the pile
as the material lies stretched on the
washing board. Rinse in cold. clear
water to which has been added salt,
and hang dripping wet in a shady
place to dry. Do not squeeze or rub.
but If dirty use the brush literally.

TRAVELLING WITH CRAZY PERSONS
Sheriff Gus. Hanson Has Been on Go
From jamestown Ever Since TAX.
ing Office.

Sheriff Gus. Hanson the latest ad-
dition to the Office of sheriff of Grand
Forks county is receiving rather uni
que initiation into the ranks of the
strong hearted. Ever since assum-
ing the official toga of the sheriff he
has been tied up with insanity cases.
He is now on his third trip to James,
town with crazy persons in custody.
This time it Is Ferdinand Nelson. The
lion hearted sheriff stated just before
setting out on his last trip that he was
getting used to the caprices of the
hopeless and unfortunate ones. How
ever, those who are slightly "off" must
be handled right strenuously at times,
the wooing of the faint-hearted sutton
being cast aside like so much chaff in
the wind.
