When oilcloth has been laid for a
few months and is beginning to lose its
shiny surface it can be renewed and
made to last twice as long. Melt a
little ordinary glue in pint Of water,
letting it stand on the top of the oven
until it is dissolved. Wash the oilcloth
thoroughly and let it dry. Then at
hight, when no one will walk on it,
go over the entire surface carefully
with a flannel dipped into the glue wa
ter. Choose a dry day for doing it,
and by morning you will have a fine

ABOUT EIOl1lL3lN1
woman a Failure I'm Business.

woman q Failure I'm Business.
Woman has failed to make good
as a leader and thinker Ia the pfOfes-
sIons and in business. While many
succeed in earning a very comfortable
living for themselves, few rise to the
top in ally of the many lines of activ-
ity which they have invaded in recent
years. Very few are among physi-
clans or lawyers of note. Few rise to
be executive heads of colleges, editors,
or directors of big business enterprises.
They have had control of fortunes;
they have had sway in kitchens; they
have always taught; they have always
acted; yet men are the great financiers,
cooks, teachers, managers of theaters.
In no profession are they equal to any
of the leading men who stand at the
head of various occupations and whose
names are familiar to the public"
This is the sweeping arraignment
brought against woman in business and
professional life by one of Ter own
class, Mary O'Cohnor Newell, in APP
pleton's Magazine. She quotes with
GDPEONul tue SldIeuleul VI Wei
known man that there are three kinds
OF women in busineSs-the kind that
marry, the discontinued kind, and the
desexed kind-and that only the lat
ter are successful.
The confession is made that even
the women who seem to be most sue
cessful in professional occupations usu-
ally regard themselves as failures,
whether they will admit it or not. By
the time they have reached the point
where they are able to accomplish i'm
pOrtant results they feel keenly the
lack Of family ties and home surround
ings, and the more womanly they are
the more strongly does this lack make
itself felt. This is the explanation
given of why so many young business
women for whom brilliant careers are
predicted abandon their chosen occu-
patton for marriage.

StarchinE.

Have collars and shirts quite damp,
as the starch gets into them better, and
use the starch while quite hot. Dip and
thoroughly squeeze the breast and col
lar of the shirt in the starch and wiring
out do the same to the cuffs clap the
starched parts and hang up to get dry ;
afterwards sprinkle with water till
damp; roll up for a few hours, then
iron.
Embroidery or trimming on under
linen is sometimes dipped in very thin
starch. 1t irons better and will keep
smooth and increased longer if slightly
stiffened.
A cupful of stiff boiled starch added
to every two gallons of the bluing wa
ter for under linen gives it a nice
smoothness and gloss without stiffening
perceptibly.

Are you a clubwoman?"
''Yes, just as Mr.. Taft is a clubman.
We are both honorary members of sew

"Do you believe in a business life
for woman?"
"NOt if a woman wants to have hap
piness and fulfill her greatest useful
ness il this world. A happy marriage
is the most complete and useful life for
any woman. To be the mother of sweet,
healthy children is a heritage that is
greater than being-than being"

Value of Good Digestion.

"To look young and keep your

herbs; she doctors herself with the

Outdoor life is everything for the
woman who wants to keep young.
"Her walk gives away the woman
who does not want people to know how
old she is. Usually she loses her elias
ticIty. And she takes to high heels
and a stilted walk. Wear conventional
clothing and be elastic in your gait;
In that way you will look younger.
"I advise women generally to join
q dancing class. BY taking the steps
one can keep up ones elasticity winter

Lace Curtain.

Lace curtains must on no account be
ironed. In the country they may be
stretched on the grass, pinning out
every point; in the town a sheet spread
on the carpet will be found more suit
able
Dwellers in flats who find it difficult
to dry such large articles, will be glad
to know that If the curtains are hung
up wet at an open window over night
they will be dry next morning and
hang more gracefully than if dried in
the usual way. Take them down next
morning, fold lengthwise and pass
through the mangle.
Feathers may be washed by placing
them in linen bags. Dip and squeeze
these in soapsuds, rinse in clean water
and dry in sleeves in an empty room,
turning the feathers frequently to pre-
vent them sticking together.

Very often when one has a cold, the

The best way to effect a cure is to
battle the eyes frequently with a solu-

Slipping Shoes.

Is there any woman who has not
suffered with half shoes and pumps
that slip up and down on the heel?
In summer the streets seem to be
crowded with humanity with painful
expressions on their faces, treading as
though terra firma were a much more
fragile substance than it is. A relief,
however. has at last been discovered
by some wise person whom necessity
transformed into an inventor.
Paste a piece Of velvet inside the
heel of the shoe, of course, with the
side of the nap toward the foot, and
this will effectually prevent any slip
ping or rubbing. 1t is very easy to do,
costs but a very few cents and any
good liquid glue may be used, s[that
at last an effectual and easy preventive
for slipping heels has been found.

One of the burglars who has been work

robbing a saloon at Weyerhaeuser. He
entered the place of Charles Dale and

His two pals were guarding outside, but
they were frightened away. The wounded

ing Oconto as his home, but kilograms
from that place said that he was unknown
there. He was identified by a telephone

his pals, but confessed that they had been
working the 500 line and were the parties
who robbed the mercantile establishment
at Tony on the night of July 2.

the artists at work on such lovely

cries Are Advanced.
Albert Platz, aged %, a rich tanner,
was found shot through the heart IN his
Office in the Davis, Medary & Platz tan
merry building at La Crosse. The police
are investigating murder, suicide, and &C
cident theories. Platz, who was one OF
the oldest manufacturers in the city, had
met heavy financial reverses in wildcat
mining and plantation schemes lately and
is known to have been unpleasantly in
volved in these failures. This strength
ems the suicide theory, but the fact that
a pistol cleaning outfit was found near
his corpse leads to the accident idea. DIR.
Maurer, who was summoned, says the
pistol was more than two feet away when
the fatal shot was fired, which leads the
authorities to believe he may have been
murdered. The bullet entered near the
stomach and passed upward through the
heart. Death was instantaneous.
