Putting Blankets A1oay

Every hOusekeeper knows that before
putting the blankets away they should
be washed and hung out 70 air. but
many a housekeeper who has done this
has discovered that in some unaccOunt-
able way her blankets have shrunk
Blankets need TO be treated with a
great deal OF care. The best thing 70
wash them in is soap Jelly. Save all
| tho small pieces Of soap, and the day
before you intend 10 launder your blan-
kets. dissolve them into jelly by pour
ing a quart OF boiling water on a quar-
ter of a pound Of shredded soap. When
| the soap has dissolved, add two table
| spoonfuls OF ammonia, and stand out
side to cool.
The next cay you will be able 10 get
at the blenkets early. You should first
see that the lines are tightly fixed and
busted, ard then you should take them
outside ard shake them thoroughly.
After you have prepared the lather by
stirring the soap jelly IN lukewarm
water, let the blankets soak for about
ten minutes. Do not rub them, but
| press and knead them against the sides
of the tub. Then wiring them tightly.
and repeat In a second lather Of the
same type.
BE sure not TO rub them, nor to use
I solution that Is too alkaline, II you
would avoid shrinkage.
Rinse thoroughly through several
waters of the same temperature as the
/ first water. DO not use cold water, as
cold water will not remove the soap
In the last water you may add little
biueing.
| Then fold the blankets neatly. and put
/ them through a wringer. Before being
| hung out 70 dry, they should also be
| thoroughly shaken. in order to preserve
their softness and elasticity.
! Ia hanging the blankets, try to keep
them as nearly single as possible, and
4 be sure to fasten them securely. They
/ should be allowed 10 stay out for two
days. and It would be well IL those days
were breezy and sunshiny, in order that
/ they max be thoroughly purified.
4 II would be well 10 air them IN front
/ Of a hot fire after they have dried, III

remain when they are returned 70 the

/ OF the ammonia, either peroxide Of by

| Of sulphuric acid The acid and the
| hydrOg, should be diluted 70 about one
/ eighth their strength. and the blankets
/ should be soaked over night.
/ The teaching In sulphrous fumes Is
/ the cheapest method, but IL requires an

MAKES A DIFFERENCE
IN THE APPEARANCE
Papers Show the Lack of TeIe-
graphic News.
RESULT OF THE STRIKE

A casual glance at the head lines of
any big city daily paper will convince
the reader that something is wrong.
The headlines are to be seen in any
number. but the matter of which they
are the introduction is very tame ac-
cording to the way the men on the big
paper look at the situation. There are
very few references made TO any sen
sational news, but essays on farms that
pay. raising bees for profit, how TO
shear sheep, rid hogs OF fleas. keep lice
out of chicken coops, how to get big
ger yield on potatoes to the acre than
wheat. how TO manage the market and
many other kindred subjects are now
dealt with. The big dailies are car
rying more local news to the outside
world than ever before, all because a
telegraph operator was fired in Califor-
mia when he held up business.
The telegraph companies say they
have the upper hand of the situation,
but the operators are still out and the
companies are endeavoring to transmit
messages by mail and express. In the
meantime the American newspapers
are afflicted with dearth of live news
which is heartrending in the big Of
fices. Some Improvement is apparent
the past few days.

RAILROAD NEWS.
TONNAGE Is A SURPRISE.
PRESENT BUSINESS OF THE IND
lana ROADS is HEAVY.
Anxious as to Where Cars
Are Coming From.

The tonnage of freight now moving
over all Indiana roads, is something
of a surprise to the freight officials.
There is a decided shortage in cars al
ready apparent in nearly all lines of
freight.
Whether the Central traffic lines
are favored in business more than
are roads in other territories may be
a question, but SO far as Indiana roads
are concerned their tonnage in nearly
all lines of freight is now governed
by the number of cars that can be
this when the movement of grain,
wheat and oats especially is on the
increase somewhat, but is by no
means as heavy as usual as at this
season of the year.
AS consequence freight officials
are beginning to be anxious TO know
where the cars are to come from the
next few months to move the pros
pective heavy traffic. Freight men
seldom take a more cheerful view as
regards business than at the present
time. In all industrial lines there APP
pears to be healthy, active demand
for empty cars. West-bound business
of late has increased considerably.
The same is true as regards east
bound business, and the north and
south lines are doing the heaviest
business in their history at the pres
ent time. they, as well as the north
and south lines, being short of cars.
