An exchange says that alcohol will
remove grass stains from summer
clothes. The exchange is right. 1t
will also remove summer clothes and
also spring and winter clothes, not

the house and eatables from the pan
try; the smiles from the face of his
wife, and the happiness from his home.
AS a remover of things alcohol has few

loss of life but buildings for miles
around were wrecked to a greater or
lesser degree by the explosion.
Within n few minutes after the ex-

people, many of them half clad,
thronged towards the arsenal. There
were large holes In the walls of neigh

Yesterday being Sunday, there was
