DRESS ACCESSORIES AND THE
 REST WAY TO CARE FOR THEN

Lingerie waists shoulu De pressed when they are mussed and not soiled, but If they are stained with per spiration, be 1t ever so little. do not nress them. Wash them at once. and if they are delicate or old sew them up in an old pillow slip while you are doing 1t.
 Clean your white shoes with gaso- line Then when it has wholly evap- orated wash them in peroxide of hyd- rogen and set in the sun to dry.
 If you get grass stains on any cot ton or linen fabrics rub 1t with black moIasses .then wash In the regular way.
 If YOU have a lot of Irish jabots ar collars. after they are washed pick out each figure and picot with fine crochet hook. That's what the pro- fessionals do.
 Chamois gloves may be washed in a hkewarm father of white soapsuds. wash through soapy water twice. pat and squeeze, but do not wiring hard. Rinse well in lukewarm water. wrap in a heavy towel until most ot the water is out, then hang up to dry. Do not wiring or squeeze the water out. When they are dry rub between the hands until they are soft and pliable; stretch with the glove streteher. aud they will be like new.
 If you have dropped grease on white dress and there is no cleaning stuff at hand, rub the spot with tal- cum powder, brush out. rub the pow der in again and leave the spot over night, llberally covered with tsicum. It will take 1t almost all out.
 Run a basting thread with long stitches in your plaited 1abots before laundering It will save lot of trouble when they are ready for iron ing.
 Iron rust stains must be rubbed with lemon and salt. and held In the steam of a rapidly boiling kettle. This is much quicker and better than the old way of laying the spot in the sun.

IONA COUNTY
A DRY ONE
A Revenue Officer Gives His
Observations on the Sit
uatiOn
''DRYEST" ON THE LIST
Compliments Officers For Doing
Their Duty-Expects to- See
Statewide Local Option.

While in Ionia recently and in con-
versation with an agent connected
with the u. s. Revenue service who
was there on official business relative
to that department, he stated that
Ionia county was the "dryest county
in the local option list of any county
in the state which he had visited,
meaning by that that the law govern
ing the liquor traffic was being lived
up to and enforced better than any
that had come under his observation
and investigation. This condition of
things speak volumes for the strict
enforcement of the law under the
supervision of our able prosecuting
attorney Dwight e. Sheldon and of
Sheriff +. +. Cilley and his deputies,
every case of violation of the
law brought to their notice is
carefully Investigated and action
taken at once where there is
shadow of evidence TO substantiate
the case.
Judge +. ID. NJ, Davis also comes
in for a large share of this compli-
ment from the revenue officer in that
he is not all weakened in out JUS
tice To the offenders and heartily sup
ports by his decisions the eff orts OF
the officers in rounding up law
breakers.
Continuing the connection the rev.
enue officer said that he notes that
the closing of the saloons is great
stimulus 10 legitimate trade and to
business conditions generally, the fac
tories and workshops show marked
improvement i'm the work turned out
and better service by many of the
laborers employed. The open saloon,
he stated, is a temptation to men
and young men who are easily led
into what is mistakenly called good
time" and with the treating habit
purpose of being ''good fellow" many
nickels and dimes were squandered,
b ut under the new law of no saloons
the money remains in their pockets
ready TO pay out for the necessary
articles for the life that is worth liv-
ing.
The revenue officer is strong ad-
vocate of local option and thinks that
eventually every county in the state
should and will come under its pro-
visions. He gave a high compliment
to the officials of our county who
have the matter of enforcement under
their supervision.

Was Held Wednesday. Large
Representation of Direc-
tors and Stockholders
SHOWING A FINE ONE
Business and Financial Outlook Wa
Never Better-Directors and
Officers Elected.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of Belding-Hall Company was
SIield at their office Wednesday with
full attendance of officers and di-
rectors. A large number of stock
holders were also present, representing
q majority of the stock, which attested
their interest in the company and the
reports given of its business during
the past year.
The president of the company, Brin-
ton F. Hall, called to order, and Guy
ID. Weter was elected secretary, who
called the roll of stockholders and read
the record Of the last annual meeting.
The reports of the treasurer, w. f.
Hazard, secretary Guy ID. Weter and
the president Brinton f. Hall, were
given and the splendid showing made
of the business and its successful
management during the year were
listened TO with much interest and
qualification.
1t was shown that since the COM
pany's reorganization about two years
ago the large Indebtedness under which
1T was then obligated has been prac-
tically wiped out and with the orders
for refrigerators now booked and the
certainty of large contracts TO be
taken for next seasons delivery, the
business will be largely increased.
Geo. E. Nichols, OF Ionia, attorney
and one of the directors, reported that
the company now held very high
standing in financial circles, and was
Fin better shape than ever TO push its
business all along the line, especially
in the east.
President Brinton +. Hall, i'm his
report stated that never in the history
of the company since its first organi.
zation twenty-one years ago has il
been on so good financial basis and
in shape TO push business as now.
There were many complimentary
remarks made by the directors as tC
the management and Mr.. Hall, Guy
ID. Weter, J. b. Arnwine and the
office force, all of whom contributed
much TO its success by their untiring
labors came in for their share of praise
