Cleaning Laces.

Few people understand the art
of washing laces. Fine laces should
be washed as seldom as possible
and handled very carefully to pre-
vent the breaking of the very fine
threads of which the lace is made.
If lace is very frail, baste to
piece of material before attempting
to launder. First put ivory soap
in cold water and make heavy suds.
Now, rub soap on the lace, but let
it lie in the water little while;
then squeeze in hand to clean, or
between the fingers, being sure to
rinse thoroughly to remove all
soap. Pull lace out straight and
lay between fold of towels. Then
ring the towel until water is alb
sorbed from the lace.
If starch is desired, use cold
starch and a small quantity of
bluing, if needed Press between
folds of new lawn.
Coffee or tea water may be used
to dip white lace in if cream col
or is desired.
When laundering black lace, dip
piece of crepe into a vessel of
water, then squeeze together with
the lace, until the lace is thorough
ly damp and every part is gone
over. To dry, stretch out on a
board and pin out all the points.
Laces may be bleached by rub
bing with lemon juice and salt,
then exposed to the sunlight.

known authority in a Cleveland
morning paper, forces the clogged
up, inactive kidney to filter and
strain from the blood the poison
GUS waste matter and uric acid,
which causes rheumatism.
AS rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous disease,
but dangerous to life, this simple
recipe will no doubt be greatly val
ued by many sufferers here at
home who should at once prepare
the mixture to get this relief.
1t is said that a person who
take this prescription regularly,
dose or two daily, or even a few
times a week, would never have
serious kidney or urinary disorders
or rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it.
Good rheumatism prescriptions,
which really relieve, are scarce,
indeed, and when you need it, you
want it badly. Our druggists here
say that they will either supply
these ingredients or make the
mixture ready to take, if any of
our readers SO prefer.

Eye Strain

Is the cause or contributing
cause of a large proportion of all
chronic human ills. Good vision
does not mean perfect eyes, in
deed, extraordinary vision means
defective eyes and the nervous
strain caused by the effort to over
come this defect is often the cause
of mental and physiological dis
turbances, such as headaches, in
digestion, constipation and many
other diseases.
If it exhibits in the way of cross
eyes we can straighten them every
time by our method of relieving
eye strain. Eyes fitted for read

Drainage.

After irrigation comes the neces
sity of drainage. This is always
the case. Seeped lands are found
in the draws below the bitches
Bottom lands show the excess ol
water, and later the condition may
extend to other places. This is a
natural consequence of irrigation
but is often met with surprise
Much of the land first chosen was
in the bottoms-it was easier to
water, it was rich. This has most
generally been the first to suffer.
Too often it has been said that
this land is ruined. That is by no
means the case. 1t needs to be re-
claimed. Sometimes the remedy
Is very simple, sometimes not so
simple. When the method is un-
derstood fairly well, then the ques-
ton becomes one as to whether the
cost will be justified by the results.
In most cases the seeped land is
caused by the accumulation of wa
ter from other land, and may come
through gradual soaking under
ground, or by passage along the
top of an impervious layer, as of
shale or clay, and sometimes by
being conducted through a layer of
porous gravel. In all these cases
if the source of the supply can be
ascertained, then when this is tap
ped, only patience is needed to
again bring the land into its form
er condition. As it has taken some
years for the full effect of the seep-
age to show, so the effect of drain
age may not be fully seen for one
to three years. Sometimes where
there is a layer of sand or gravel
overlaid with clay, water will gush
up through holes when punctured
through the top layer of clay. In
such cases the seepage is often
seen on the side of the hill and in-
creasing to the bottoms. These
soils are generally among the cas-
lest to drain, though from failure
to understand the situation they
have often met with failure. With |.
the greater value of land, the cost
of drainage is moderate. and when !
reclaimed the land will be the best
of the farm.

WHAT CAM EARSTDO
IN THIS CAMPAIGN?

Sen. LaFollette Of Wisconsin as
standard bearer there has been
less jubilation in the republican
camp. In place of it there have
been looks and feelings of appre-
hension. A natural guess woull
be, of course, that LaFollette will
continue his powerful reform fight
within the republican lines, but
thought of the mere possibility Of
him as an independent candidate
for the White House has given the
elephant chills. Thomas l.. Hisgen,
who as the league candidate for
governor of Massachusetts received
more votes than were cast for the
head of the democratic ticket, and
District Attorney Langdon, of San
Francisco, who made a creditable
showing as the league candidate for
governor of California, have also
been brought forward by their
friends as desirable timber for the
presidential nomination.
Heart has given out that he will
not take the nomination. He figures
on being busy fulfilling the duties
of mayor of this city before next
July. At the last mayoralty cleo
ton the returns showed a slight
margin for Mcclellan over Hearst
| for mayor. Hearst claimed to have
been counted out, and made fight
for recount through all the courts
He has won that fight and the re-
count will be completed in June
Friends of Hearst say he plans tC

record as will insure his election

How much does 1t cost a year to
keep hen?
The house committee on agri-
culture wants to know. Congress
was asked to figure it out by Rep
resentative Olmstead of Pennsyl-
vania. A woman constituent had
put it up TO. him. Congress turned
the conundrum over to the COM
mittee.
Eggs enthusiasts and poultry
sharps differed so widely in their
estimates that the committee de-
cided to make hen house tot hen
house investigation. The result
was no better; the hens couldn't
tell.
Olmstead resents the sugges.
tioh of the frivolous ones that the
effort is a merry jest. Statistics
in the agricultural department
back him up. The annual egg pro-
AUCTION is rapidly approaching the
two billion dozen marx, and has
averaged a valuation of $780,,
100000 for several years. This
does not include turkey, geese and
duck eggs.

NEW YORK, April 14.-Heavy
work is being done to perfect and
strengthen the national organiza-
ton of the Independence league,
the party founded by VIM. r.
Hearst. 1t will enter the presiden-
tial field, probably under the name
of the National party, with a con-
vention to be held in Chicago in
July. The convention will be held
after the old parties have named
their candidates and adopted their
platforms. 1t will thus be in po-
sition to take advantage of any OPP
portunity that may be presented by
failure of the republicans and
democrats to offer men and prin-
ciples acceptable to the plain peo'
pie. 8
Hearts party is the unknown
factor in the presidential problem,
1t is decidedly interesting and, in
the opinion of many of the poll
ticians, an important one.
In the beginning the republicans
hailed the naturalization of the
independence league with mirth
and Joy. Hearst or Folk, governor
of Missouri, were most talked of as
it's possible candidate for president
and the movement was regarded by
the G. o. P. as good joke on the
democrats. The greater part of its
vote would be drawn from that
