TO MAKE SECURING BALLS.
Two Methods Of Preparing These Use.
full Aids to Housewives.

Not every housekeeper knows how
to prepare securing balls. The follow
ing Is a good method: Mix fuller's
earth and strong suds Of white cas-
tile soap to stiff paste, then work
this into, balls about the size of q
hens egg and allow them to dry.
To use, first remove all surface
dirt with brush after shaking, and
sponge the soiled places lightly with
tepid water.
Then rub gently but very thoroughly
with one of these balls The garment
should be hung in dry place for a
day or so, then the dry earth brushed
on. After this, 1t is ready for press
ing.
Another way Of making these balls
10 to use FIVE ounces Of pipe clay,
three ounces of powdered French
chalk and three ounces of alcohol.
This paste should be nodded into
small balls and set aside to dry.
II housekeeper has any leisure
time on her hands after the autumn
bousecleaning, she would find 1t a
great help to make a lot of these
securing balls and have them on hand
for any emergency.

TO SAVE TIME in KITCHEN.
Few Moments Gathered In Here and
There Amount to Much.


To get best results with rice, wash
quickly in cold water and drop slowly
into water that is boiling rapidly.
Rice prepared in this fashion will be
soft and mealy, yet whole. In 20 min

water in the kettle and drain the rice
directly It is cooked-before the water
stops boiling.

Mix prunes and raisins for supper

To make the mint Jelly so popular
and expensive-at exchange and tea

and, to every pint of this liquid, while
hot, allow a package Of ready-to-use
lemon jelly powder. Add sugar to
taste. Stir until sugar and jelly pow-
der are dissolved. Mold and set on
ice to harden. Garnish with fresh
mint leaves.

Gov. Fred M. Warner has been 70
elected for a third term by about
5000 or 5000 plurality over his DEM
ocratic opponent, Lawton T. Hemans,
despite the early lead which Hemans
maintained. With three counties and
a number of Detroit precincts missing
from the tabulation Gov. Warner was
given a plurality Of 1886, and esu-
mates that the missing districts will
increase this by $500 more. Other
estimates of the governors plurality
were placed at 5000.

was examined in various sub

and was admitted to the acad-

largest majority of any candidate
on the ticket. Although the
Youngest member of the senate

which was the highway commits

FOR EVERY REPUBLICAN
TO CONSIDER.

1t is up to every Republican
this year to ask himself the ques-
ton, why should | not vote the
straight Republican ticket this
fall"
That practically every Repub-
lican vote will be cast for every
candidate up to governor, is con
coded through the results Of cleo
tions for many years past But
why should there be any question
about the vote for governor? A
governor, to be deal, should, if
possible, be a man with all the
characteristics of an Abraham
Lincoln. The ideal candidate
should be a man Of ability in
craftsmanship; man whose in
tegrity is Beyond question and
established by a past record; a
man who is or the side of the
people, vet who will without ia
vor see that justice is dealt out to
one and all; man who cannot
be unduly influenced and who has
the individual strength to stand
up and successfully oppose any
pressure that may be brought
upon him to swerve him from the
straight and narrow path of duty.
Does not JacJb F. Jacobson
answer all these requirements?
Apparently he does. His ability
as a statesman was proved in six
legislative sessions, wherein he
was the acknowledged leader,
and gained the title Of Father of
the House" As to his integrity,
who dares question it? His rug
ged honesty is a trait that his
strongest political enemies freely
admit. Frank A. Day, the Demo-
cratic state chairman, in his own
paper, The Failmont Sentinel,
said OF Jacobson: He is honest
and unpurchaseable. He was
never controlled for minute in
his life by the interests. And
this same Democratic leader told
but a plain truth when he also
wrote editorially. that The peo-
pie have confidence in Jake. T"
This confidence was established
in the public mind by Mr.. Jacob
sons actions, which always speak
louder and with more eloquence
than words That Mr.. Jacobson
