How to Clean Straw Mattino.

To take up and clean straw mating,
first remove as much of the furniture
as possible and the pictures and Orna
ments, then sweep the mating with
a damp broom, then remove tacks and
roll up one strip at time and take ii
either out on the grass or the roof. and
if possible hang on q line for awhile.
Then sweep the room carefully and
take up the first dirt as you go along.
Then with plenty Of hot water and
soap wash floor and open windows
wide. Then the mating can be tended
to. Sweep the wrong side, strip at a
time, and with a pail Of clean water
with some white soap and little am
mOnia in it and soft cloths wash the
mating thoroughly and wipe very
dry Go over all the strips on the
wrong side and then let them dry. Do
the same to the right side and when
putting down the mating bring the
freshest part into wear. By a little
study this can be done, and the wrong
side can be used just the same as the
right. 1t helps lot to put newspapers
under, and then you can roll them
right up and put them in the rubbish
and it saves a lot of dirt.

ICED TEA.
How to Make and Serve This Re-

However the doctors and health fear
full may reyile iced tea. it is bound to
stay as long as thermometers are so
unruly in summer. 1t is surprising,
considering the amount of iced tea
Americans consume, how rarely it is
good.
The most scientific and supposedly
healthful way to prepare it is to pour
freshly brewed hot tea over large
lump of Ice, then pour into glasses half
filed with shaved ice.
More economical is it to make a
small quantity of rather strong tea
several hours before it is to be used.
let it cool in the refrigerator and

lemon and sugar are mixed with the
tea when the iced water is added. Bet
ter yet is it to adopt the Russian plan
of grating the rind of lemon and
pouring hot tea over it,
If lemon is passed, as it may have to
be when some of the family do not
like it, cut into lengthwise sections
rather than thin rounds and pass in
addition a small glass pitcher filled
with extra lemon juice.
Mint leaves or lemon verbena added
to iced tea. besides the lemon, gives a
delicious flavor. 1t is also good with a
little ginger sirup or few drops of
rum.
One hostess on gala occasions serves
her iced tea poured cold over lemon
orange or pineapple sherbet. This is
served in a punch bowl. and each
guest fills her tall glass with the mix

used.
The thinner and more slender ar
iced tea glass is the more refreshing il

saucer or tumbler coaster If possible
use long handled spoons.

"Yet the health of such rs these in
variably soon gives way. First they
become CHASTITY thin-sometimes al
most approaching the skeleton stage
then they lose strength, ambition and
lastly life itself.
'In the country it is different Many
farmers who raise peoples do not
smoke opium. AS a result they have
good health and live long. 1t is not
unusual for Chinese farmer to reach
the age of 70 or 80 and occasionally
one hangs on until he is 1907
Those who have believed that opium
smoking is a natural vice in China will
perhaps be surprised at the consuls
statement to the contrary. Yet this
statement is verified by the fact that
China's birth rate remains moderately
high, Notwithstanding the low rate in
the cities, where opium is used.
But, if the consuls statement be sur
prising, what must be said of that of
DR.. Hamilton Wright. DR.. Wright says
the Chinese who ere resident in
America are rapidly giving up the use
of the drug The better class of ORR
entail exiles not only do not smoke,
but regard with scorn any of their
countrymen who do.
Why, then, are the importations of
smoking opium into the United States
increasing? And who smoked the
million and a quarter dollars worth
that was imported in the first II
months of last year?
| In the answer to these questions lies
the interest of the United States in ex-
Guiding opium from this country and
stopping it's use everywhere. The
! fact is that American women, or at
! least white women, used large part
of the smoking opium that was
brought into the country last year,
and therefore supplied much of the
great sum that went to pay for it.
Even the lowest white men are not
likely to develop a hankering for
opium, but degraded white women
yield to it as readily as any Chinese
i ever did. Possibly they want to forget
perhaps opium helps them to blot
out for a time that which they would
not remember. In any event, every
great city contains places where
/! women may go to smoke opium, and in
New York in particular, one need not
go far down the hall of many cheap
lodging house to catch the fumes OF
the drug with which China has wres
tied for 700 years.
If white women used even half OF
the smoking opium that was brought
to the United States last year, and
each woman during the year bought
$40 worth there are 10000 such women
in this country. 1t doesn't seem pos
sible! But the opium was brought

men who have been using tobacco 20
80 or 40 years. They have the habit.
That's the difference-public officials
in China have not the opium habit.
'It is unfortunately tru. that the
lower classes in the cities are slaves
of the pipe. When a poor man lives
on a farm, he seems to get along
easily without using opium, but when
he comes to the city he picks up the
habit within a year. If he smokes in
moderation, no great harm seems to
come to him for while, though ulti-
mately it undermines his health. But
the trouble is that few Chinese in the
cities use opium moderately. They
soon smoke as many times as they can
during the day, and go at it again at
night, continuing until sleep over
powers them. In this way they econo-
mize on food, for one who smokes
immoderately cannot eat much and
they are also able to do great
amount of work for while without
feeling the usual fatigue.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1909-02-27

here, sold, paid for, and smoked, and
tlose who are most familiar with the
facts say that white women used
much of it.
Such dependency as they never
knew will be ahead of these women
after the bill to exclude smoking
opium becomes a law. To be caught
smoking or merely to be found with
the drug in ones possession will then
make the offender liable to two years
Imprisonment. Yet precisely as there
were Chinese 600 years ago who lost
their heads because they could not
forego their pipes, doubtless there are
American woman who will go to
prison IL they can get the forbidden
drug with which to violate the law.
For it is as difficult to break bad
habit as it is to form a good one.
