by some of the most wealthy and in

form of betting at or connected with
race tracks, and it is understood that
this will result in the immediate clos

what opposition the racing interests
of this state will make has yet be-
come public. Those who claim to be
friends of the sport, without financial
interests therein, have proposed a
state racing commission as an alter
nate for the complete closing of the
tracks. The state political leaders
of both parties have declared strong

FOR THOSE WHO KNIT.
Directions for Making Dainty Three
Cornered Shawl.

The materials required for a COM
fcttable and dainty three-cornered
shawl are two bone knitting needles,
No. Q, and double Berlin or fancy wool.
First: Cast on three stitches and knit
of plain. Second: Make one at end of
every other row by knitting into the
bottom part of the loop and then into
actual stitch. Knit backward and for
ward, garter stitch, until there are $50
stitches on the needle. Third: Knit
six rows without increasing. Fourth:
Decrease at the end of every other
row by taking the last two stitches to-
gether until three loops remain and
then cast off. The decreasings must
be made at the same ends of the rows
that the increasings were made. Fifth:
Finish off the edge all around with a
crochet edging. This shawl is easily
and quickly made, and if made in a
delicate coloAd wool will be extreme
ly dainty. 1t can be worn as a hood
as well as a shawl by putting one
corner over the head and drawing the
other two over the shoulders and I'M
der the chin.

CARE OF CURTAINS
DIFFERENT MATERIALS REQUIRE
DIFFERENT HANDLING.
Treatment of Those Of White OF
cream-How to Impart stiffen-
ing-carefuI Drying Always
Better Than Ironing.

Curtains should be washed through
:wo or three tepid waters, with wash
ng soda dissolved in each one, then
soaked over night in cold water with
soda added. The soda saponifies any
grease that may be there.
The next day the curtains, if they
ire white or cream, should be washed
out of the soaking water, then put
INTO soap lather and pressed and
squeezed in this until they become
quite clean. Then wash in plenty of
warm water and boil the white ones
for about an hour
IL the cream ones are very much
Ioiled they should also be boiled. Aft
er boiling they must be thoroughly
rinsed in warm water to remove soap,
then in cold water. They must then be
Hrung, not by twisting, but by pres
sure through wringing machine, so
hat the water may be quite removed
before they are starched.
All curtains are improved when
stifened and are usually dipped into
boiling water starch of full strength.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1908-06-24

To make the curtains OF equal stiff
ness the starch should be prepared in
one basin, then divided by pouring
half of it into another basin and
each curtain dipped into each lot Of
starch.
AS wet material holds a certain
quantity of water which reduces the
strength of the starch, if one curtain
is put into the starch before the 9TH
er the starch would be less stiff for
the second CERTAIN, and it would, in
consequence, be rather limp.
Curtains of Swiss lace should also
be put into rather thick starch, as they
hang better when made fairly stiff,
and as they are usually of open de-
sign, the stiffness keeps the pattern
displayed.
Madras muslin curtains, on the 9th
er hand, look better when quite soft,
consequently less degree of stiffen-
ing is required. If there is ball fringe
on the curtains this must be kept
carefully free from starch, as it makes
the fringe stiff, causing the threads to
adhere to each other, spelling it's ap-
pearance.
When starching these curtains,
gather the fringe up carefully in the
hand away from the starch while the
curtains are being stiffened.
Curtains may be ironed, but it is a
better way to hang them over the line
exactly in half, and see that they hang
directly opposite to one another.
They will dry in a short time on a
sunny day. When dry, fold them
lengthwise, lay them in a sheet and
put under a heavy box. When hung
the folds will come out of them.
