In order that a shirt may be sue
cessfully ironed it is necessary to
starch and fold it properly.
AS to the starch used there are two
kinds, the raw and the boiled. The lat
ter, as a rule, gives the more salts
faction, though not a few laundresses
prefer the raw starch method for col
lars, cuffs and shirt bosOms.
The amateur, however, will do we'll
to experiment first with the boiled
liquid.
To make it mix together take two
tablespoonfuls of dry starch and about
half a teacupful of cold water until il
is of the consistency of cream. Then
add a little more than one-half pint o.
boiling water if the starch is needed
for shirt bJsOms or collars. More wa
ter is required if such articles as
skirts or petticoats are to be starched
Starch must be quite hot for collars
and shirts, warm for the average
white garments and almost cold for
colored goods.
In order to prevent sticking to the
irons, a little borax, a small bit of tai
low candle or tiny lump Of lard may
be added when mixing.
In starching a shirt have it quite
dry, then turn on the right side and
gather the parts to be stiffened in the
hand and dip in cod water, then put
into the hot starch, rubbing it wei

Csme Tor this purpose, although when
experience is gained it is possible to
finish a shirt with a gloss by using
only the ordinary irons.
If blisters appear on the bosom, etc,
press them out by ironing over a
clean. damp rag placed directly on the
spot
In ironing cuffs and collars they
should be laid on a table wrong side
up and a hot iron passed over the sur
face. Then they must be turned and
treated the same way on the other
side After this the pressure may be
as firm and as hard as one pleases pro
vided the iron is not too hot The
rest of the shirt is ironed as other
rough dry garments would be.

Lake City Index:--Tbe index is
good friend TO Jacksonville, and
will do its part as q newspaper to
foster its interest. But ii does
not take kindly to its Mid-Winter
Exposition. A State Fair is to be
held at Tampa. An appropria
ton has been made to pay its pre-
MUM LETS, and they viii eSs;.tu-

Willie is a private enterprise, with
a ferry adjunct. About four
years ago IL was pure food ex-
position, then a carnival, again a
so-called agricultural exhibition
on the south side for the benefit Of
the ferry, another carnival, and
now another mid-winter effort.
Why not concentrate all our
efforts on the State Fair and make
it a snccesss If Tampa is not the
place to hold it then change. But
wherever it is, let us give it
hearty support and make it a sue

The Tribune Special Edition.


The special editions Of the Tam
pa Tribune in which each Of the
counties in this part of the state
are in turn being given detailed
write-ups, offers an opportunity
for South Florida to place before
those people who are most inter
ested all the information they may
desire concerning our vast re-
sources and advantages.
DeSoto is TO be the next county
favored by the Tribune and rep
resentatives of that enterprising
publication are now in the field
collecting the necessary data, pic
lures, ETC., Col. j. A. Leslie, q
gentleman of much experience in
such undertakings, being the
director of the work.
That the DeSoto county edition
of the tribune will surpass any
thing of the kind yet published
is to be expected from the fact
that we have the goods, SO TO
speak, to make it such, and can
furnish the necessary statistics
and information.
Such being the case and the
Tribune having a list of thousands
of people all over the country,
who have made inquiries about
Florida to various transportation
companies, an exceptional adver-
Using medium is placed at the dis
posal of our town, and we should
take advantage of it as far as pos
sible.
Punta Gorda will be given II
good illustrated article, the Trib-
une furnishing both the illustra-
lions and the write-np,a nd all they
ask is that our people sub
scribe as literally as possible for
the paper at the regular price Of
Sc per copy, These copies can be
mailed TO persons whose names
have been furnished by the trans
portation companies or to indlvid-
uals designated by the subscribers.
The proposition is a liberal one
when the cost of mailing, the high
price Of paper, the value of the
cuts and other items of expense in
publication are considered.
The Tribune representatives
will be here in a few weeksto take
the matter up with our Board of
Trade and the Town Council, and
If it can be arranged to have'a
large humber of copies sent out,
'Punta Gorda will certainly benefit
thereby. Coming at the time 1t
will, the DeSoto county edition of
the Tribune will furnish effective
means for following up the good
work already done by our board
of trade and it is to be hoped that
all individuals who can, will sub
scribe literally for it.

OIL CASE TO HIGH COURT.
Government Decides to Appeal Fine
Suit at Once.

Washington, Nov 13.-Prolonged
conferences were held at the depart
ment of justice yesterday with respect
to the action of the circuit court Of
appeals at Chicago in refusing a re-
hearing of the Standard Oil case in
which Judge Lands originally imposed
a fine of $29,24O,ooo. 1t was determined
to apply to the United States court for
a writ Of certiorari.
Those who conferred with Attorney
General Bonaparte were Solicitor Gen.
eral Hoyt, United States Attorney Sims
of Chicago, j. H. Wilkerson, his assist
ant, and F. B. Kellogg, special counsel
in the civil suits against the Standard
Oil company.
1t was found that considerable num-
ber of changes had been made in the
opinion of the court Of appeals origin
ally rendered and that Judge Baker of
that court had filed a separate con-
curing opinion. which differed mater
tally in its reasoning from that Of
Judge Grosscup. After a careful con-
sideration Of all phases Of the situation
it was determined that an application
should be made to the supreme court
when it reconvenes on Monday, Nov.
30, for writ of certiorari to bring up
and review the action Of the circuit
court of appeals. The necessary pa
pers for this purpose will be prepared
without delay.

Jury, Fail.
coRoNER's VERDICT ADMISSIBLE
Judge Richter Rules That It Be En-.
tered as Primary Evidence-Tssti-
mony Of Coroner Mack, and Dr.. FIT
Wilcox, Who Conducted an Autepsy
Taken Today-oetails Given.

LaPorte, Ind, Nov. 13-The defense
in the Lamphere case, in its efforts to
prevent certain Information going to
the jury, suffered it's first defeat when
Judge Richter ruled that the report of
the coroners verdict was admissible as
primary evidence. The ruling followed
exhaustive arguments. Coroner Mack
! was the first witness. He testified to
finding the bodies in the ruins, and
said that one was that Of an adult
female, and the other three were those
OF children. He also found a number
of bones, including the seventh verte-
brae. and part of a lower jaw bone of
a human being. The bones, which had
been sealed in a jar, were introduced
in the evidence. A piece of charred
cloth was taken from the palm of one
hand, and the report of the coroners
inquest was also offered in evidence.
Attorney Worden conducted the cross
examination of Coroner Mack, and
drew from him the admission that he
had not weighed the body of the adult
female found in the fire, and that he
was unable to tell what caused the hole
discovered in the skull Of one of the
children. Mack stated that the head
of the adult body was missing, and
that the bones of the foot were discon-
nected. In his examination of the bod
/ les, he testified that he was unable to
tell whether the missing legs had been
cut off or burned off, nor could he tell
whether the head had been burned of
or the exposed vertebrae charred after
the head had been severed from the
body. Mack stated positively that one
bone was jaw bone but was unable
to say that the other was the cervical
vertebrae. DR.. F. T. Wilcox, who con-
Quoted an autopsy over one of the chill
dren, was next on the stand. He tes-
titled that the front part Of the head of
child. a female, was burned away,
the right arm was burned of at the
shoulder, the left arm at the wrist.
the legs at the knee, and that the lungs
were collapsed, the heart distended and
full of blood, the stomach badly burned
and the bladder normal. The body
measured three feet seven inches from
the knees to the top Of the head. No
evidence of hemorrhage was found In
the brain, and no fracture Of the skull.
Wilcox was unable to determine the
cause of DEATH The witness identified
some rings taken from the fingers OF
the body, and these were then shown
! to the jury.

BANK PAYMENTS INCREASE.
Where Losses Do Appear, They Arc
Materially Reduced.

New York, Nov. 13.-Dun's Review
tomorrow, will says:
Bank clearings showed a marked in
crease in the volume of payments thru
the banks, not only in New York city,
where the increase is heavy, in a large
measure due ito very active stock mar
ket trading, but at a number of other
leading cities, while at most of the
cities where losses still appear. they
are materially reduced. The total bank
exchanges this week are $S,27S,277,00o
an increase of 7.3 per cent compared
with the corresponding week of 1906.
The large gains over a year ago, are
unimportant because of the disturbed
condition prevailing then, and they
serve only to show how severe those
conditions We're.
Dispatches to Dunn's Review indi-
cate rapid progress toward normal
conditions in trade and industry, the
confidence being general.

Winter Wheat Slim.
1.-TWO factors surround the situation
with great bullish possibilities. The
supply situation next May will be more
acute than that of last summer. The
decreased acreage of winter wheat and
the sickly condition of the plant augurs
a limited winter wheat production OF
inferior quality and as winter wheat is
60 to SIS per cent of the total wheat
raised in the United States, anyone can
see what this will mean for the 1903
crop and how the spring wheat farmers
must necessarily be benefited.

United States for wheat. But we can
not afford to let Europe have our wheat

clusion: Wheat will make a great ad-
vance, will go very much higher
