WILL DEVELOP LARGE TRACT
LAND ACQUIRED BY THE q. s.
REALTY COMPANY.

The tract of land in. East Washington
known as the Scaggs property Is to be
developed and orened to homeseekers.
The tract, which has been purchased by
Col. Arthur E. Randle for the onlted
States Realty Company, covers lo,OOU'ooo
square feet.
There is large circle in the center OF
this immense tract. as lald OUT uIueI
the street extension plan. This circle
is the same size as Dupont Circle, and
will be dedicated to the District OF
Columbia as Noyes Circle. IN honor Oh
the late Crosby S. Noyes rms last &C,
QUESTION of property gives the Cnlleu
States Realty Company practically all the
land between the electric railroad on
Pennsylvania avenue and the electric
road at Benning
The purchase covers the property De-
tween street northeast b stree. .,ti nor.h-
east, East Capitol street, 3 street SOUTH
east, street southeast, D street south-
east and from 33d street to 10th street.
The last Congress passed bill for the
opening Of Minnesota avenue through the
entire length of this property, and the
District of Columbia government is now
proceeding TO extend Minnesota avenue
from the present holdings of the United
States Realty Company on Pennsylvania
avenue northward to Benning, through
this property.
1t is understood that the United States
Realty Company will extend its electric
railroad northward through this prop
erty as soon as the Commissioners open
up Minnesota avenue, which they are now
engaged in acquiring. When this rail-
road is built to Benning 1t will be the
only railroad in the District of Columbia
which will allow passengers the choice
of the Capital Traction road or the
Washington railway and electric. 1t will
give passengers an opportunity of reach
ing these properties by both of the great
railway systems in Washington.

nee1 not be taken into account.

HOME REMEDIES THAT WILL
REMOVE THE BERRY STAINS
Lemon, Oxa1ic Acid and Javelle Water Take Out
Fruit Marks From Linen.

and require two baths in the javelle wa
ter before they disappear. AS soon as
the solution looks black it should be re-
placed with clean.
Dainty doilies, whether worked in white
or colored silk. should not be immersed
in javelle water. because the white deco
ration will turn yellow and the colored
fade away. Should one be SO unfortu-
nate as to get stain on anything so
delicate. the spot may be covered with
equal parts of slycerin and alcohol. add
ing fresh, as the coating dries, until the
stains disappear
Then the article may be rinsed in
slightly warm water. This is a remedy
often applied with good effect to dress
of delicate color that has been stained
by fruit. Clothing is quite apt to be
stained as table linen. For fruit spots
on delicate fabrics an application of alco-
hol will be effective usually. and when all
signs of the blemish have disappeared the
spots SHOULD be gently dabbed with a
wet clean rag.
Grass stains on linen or ordinary white
dresses may be rubbed thoroughly with
molasses. then be put through the laun-
dry process.
Sirup and sugar stains will respond to
| washing in clear, warm water first mo
soap. rubbing afterward with a clean
rag dipped into a solution of water and
alcohol in equal parts.
Ice cream stain is most difficult to re-
move, because it is combination of
grease and sugar.
The only remedy | know of is to sponge
with chloroform. placing pad of cotton
or thickness of blottng paper beneath
the stain.
To remove orange or lemon stains ap-
ply liquid composed of one part am
monia and twenty parts water. This will
| neutraliZe the acid. and if the color of
the stained garment has been affected
it can generally be restored by spons-
ing lightly with chloroform.
In using these various remedies it
should be remembered that rubbing
roughens the material. The gentle dab
bing on of the solvent with the use of
a clean cloth answers the purpose Just
as well Care should be taken. too, not
| to spread the stains, but to contine the
| operation within small area. For this
| reason ii is well to place something abb
sorbent under each spot to be cleaned
Powdered starch or French chalk
| placed around the stain will often pre-
vent the solution from spreading. and it
| is a substance that can be easily re-
moved from any kind of fabric.

Stains on table linen and clothing are

Stains on table linen and clothing are
apt to appear as soon as the berry sea-
son commences, and SO wise housekeep-
ers should prepare home remedies 10 re-
move such blemishes before they set
and become difficult to take out.
In the summer season one of the best
aids toward keeping linen stainless is
javelle water. This can be bought at the
drug store ready for use. or it can be
made at home In generous quantities at
little cost.
To prepare it. one part of chloride OF
lime is dissolved in ten parts of water.
Into another vessel is placed one part of
common washing soda and four parts of
water, boiling. When it is a pure liquid
the lime solution and the soda water
are mixed together. This mixture is al
lowed to settle, when the clear fluid Is
strained of into clean bottle and the
sediment thrown away.
Another home remedy is the half of a
freshly cut lemon, dipped into salt and
rubbed directly on the stain.
Very often this will be efficacious and
it is one of the harmless remedies.
Oxalic acid will sometimes succeed
when pure lemon juice fails.
A few crystals of the acid are dissolved
in water and the stain is dipped into the
solution. Afterward the fabric must be
thoroughly rinsed 1r 1t will be injured
When one comes to iron the linen hole
is apt to be the result of too careless
rinsing Especially is this true when
javelle water is used Three rinsings are
not too many and to make sure there will
be no evil results some persons give
last rinsing in solution of hyposulphlte
of soda. one part. to ten parts water.
This is to neutralize the effect of the
lime, which If left in the fabric, might
injure its strength.
For green nut stains, one of the most
obstinate of ALL there is nothing better
than the javelle water, followed by rims
ing in the above solution.
Fruit stains should be laid in the ja-
velle water as soon as discovered and al
lowed to remain there until they fade.
Then, after rinsinG, the linen should be
dried, when 1t will be ready for the resu-
lar laundering.
strawberry and raspberry stains usual
ly respond quickly, but blackberry
stains will as a rule, be more obstinate
