GETTING RIO or MILDEW.
Stain Is Hard TO Remove, But 1t Can
Be Done

Nildew is a stain caused by linen
being put away damp. either from the
body or after washing It is a true
mold, and, like all plants. requires
warmth and moisture for its growth.
When this necessary moisture is fur
nished by any cloth in a warm place
the mildew grows upon the fibers. 1t
is a mos. difficult stain TO remove
and requires great patience.
Stretch the stained part over a hard,
firm surface ard rub of as much as
will come with a piece of soft, dry
rag. Rub in little salt and try if the
juice of lemon viii take it out.
The best way is 10 vet the stains
thoroughly, rub them over with plenty
Of soap and then scrape chalk on the
place; put the article in the sun and
keep it sprinkled with water; renew
the soap and the chalk and the Wetting
from time to time and the stain will
come out; rinse well.
The sunlight kills the plant and
bleaches the fibers. Bleaching power
or javelle water may be tried in cases
OF advanced growth. but success can
not be assured. Handkerchiefs are es-
pecially liable 10 mildeW.
Old mildew stains may be removed
by rubbing yellow soap on both sides
and afterward laying on very thick
starch which has been dampened; rub
in well and expose to light and air.
If this does not prove effectual, boil
ing in water TO which a little chloride
OF lime has been added may be resort
ed to, but it must be borne in mind
that this has a weakening effect on
the material.

EATING TO KEEP COOL

The secret Of keeping cool during the

Of comfort unless we also show some
Judgment in the selection of proper
foods and drinks.
The great mistake that most people
make to-day is eating more food than
their system can possibly require.
When the days are hot and humid, and
we have every excuse for banking in
stead of feeding the internal fires. the
less we eat of heavy and stimulating

The Delineator.
The laundering OF embroidered and lace
trimmed napery and bed-linen calls for
special care. C0lored embroideres should
be washed in suds made OF white soap in
moderately warm water. They must never
be boiled, nor allowed to lie wet after
washing. Instead, they should be hung up
Immediately to dry in a shady place. Sum

When ironing circular centerpieces and

the straight grain Of the cloth. If this

Washington, D. c., Mar 4.-Both
houses of congress met at $50 today
for the last sitting of the session and
of the Fifty-ninth Congress. The at
tendance was slim in both house and
senate, and those present showed the
signs of fatigue, due to almost con-
tinual meetings since last Saturday
morning. The house proceeded as if
the entire session were still before
it, but the senate finding itself with
out quorum and with all necessary
routine business disposed of took a
recess of a few minutes after assem-
bling, and it was at once evident
that there would be no further serious
efforts made to secure action on the
ship subsidy bill or upon any disput-
ed measure. The only important meas
IRE aside from the ship subsidy bill
which was ''in the air. was the La
Toilette railroad employees bill.
Representative Tawney, of Mime
sofa, chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations, asserted in the house
today that instead of facing a crisis
in the treasury at the close of the
fiscal year 1908, as seemed imminent
at one time, there would be surplus
of twenty million dollars at tnat time.
The total appropriations made at the
present session of congress, he said,
aggregate approximately 1919, ,94S, $40.
The ship subsidy bill, which has
been before congress in a more or
less prominent way for the past two
years, and for the past two days in
acute form, finally received a quietus
in the senate at eleven o'clock today
whe2 Senator Gallinger, in behalf of
the measure rose and finally announc-
ed his decision not to press it for fur
tner consideration.
The final adjournment of congress
was delayed slightly by an error in
the enrolment of the La Toilette bill
regulating the hours of service of
trainmen, The bill had been enrolled
in advance of the agreement by con-
ferees, and it was found that change
had been made in its phraseology
which neoessitated re-enrollment The
senate today agreed to the conference
report on the bill limiting the hours
of service of railway employees as
agreed upon by the conference last
night, The house also agreed to the
conferees report, and in both houses
the adoption was by unanimous vote.
the agreement limits the daily serv-
ice of railway telegraphers to nine
hours, with the provision that the re-
quirement may be extended to any
particular class of employees when
a proper showing is made to the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
The President arrived at the capi
tol about eleven O'Clock. Thirty bills
were signed by him there before noon.

EXAMINATION FINISHED.

New York. Mar. 4.-Dr. Evans was

trial this morning, and his cross ex-
animation was concluded at noon
In the course of his questioning Je-
rome asked, Were Thaw's mental
processes such as he knew he was
attacking White on the roof garden?"
HE had insane knowledge, yes, ="
replied Evans. The witness said that
in brain storm the defendant had in
sane knowledge of wnat ne did, but
not the knowledge of sound mind.
Jerome questioned Evans closely in
regard to what Thaw realized in a
sane manner and what he knew in
a sane condition of mind on the night
of the tragedy. but the doctor always
came back to the same stand that
Thaw was not responsible at the
time of the murder
Evans was excused from cross e4-
animation at noon He was tempora-
rily excused from redirect examina-
ton. and DR. Wagner was called to
the stand-x
