WASHING DAY HINTS.

Glycerin will remove coffee and tea
stains from linen. Pour it over the
stained parts. rub in well and wash in
the usual way.
When drying flannel blouses never
hang them near a fire or they will
certainly shrink. The best way Is TO
hang them in warm room away from
the fire or in a shady. windy place out
OF doors.
When making hot starch add a level
teaspoonful Of dry washing powder to
a quart Of starch and the irons will
not stick
A most effective method Of removing
mildew stains from linen is to rub soap
on the spots, then chalk and lemon
juice and bleach the garments in the
sun.
When a blue serge costume begins
to look rather shiny and worn It can
be renovated in the following way:
Make a strong blue water and sponge

ture to dry little, then spread on an
ironing board. Cover with a piece of
muslin and press with hot iron.

FRUIT SALADS
FOR SUMMER

Nearly ali kinds OF fruit lend them
selves to the making OF salads The
growing popularity OF these is &C
counted for by the many ways in
which they may be combined, served
and garnished, and by the fact that
they can be made at any time OF the
year from whichever fruit happens to
be IN season-berries. pineapples and
peaches in summer. malaga grapes.
apples, oranges, celery and nuts in
winter.
For fruit salads cream dressings
with the sharp condiments omitted are
used instead OF a mayonnaise, while
cream whipped stiff gives white
dressing that contrasts attractively
with the bright colored fruit. Where
fruit and cream are not eaten to-
gether the stifiy beaten whites OF eggs
are substituted. The eggs should be
wen favored with lemon and may be
tinted delicate pink with cake or
fruit coloring.
When apples and celery are used the
addition of tiny bit of cinnamon or
some candied ginger gives the desired
spicy flavor.
Olives, cream cheese. crisp crackers
or rich cookies are proper accompani-
ments for salads.
Here Is a fine breakfast salad, one
Of the new wrinkles in cookery. To
make II put in individual salad disher

JAP WOMEN LIKE TO GROW OLD.
In the eyes OF japanese women 1t Is
just as absurd TO wear kimono as a
dressing gown as Il Is 10 put on an
evening dress just after getting out Of
the morning bath. "One thing that
has astonished me-" said a Japanese
woman in America recently. is the
fact that women here have a fancy for
the kimono as a dressing gown. I
wonder what they would say If they
went to japan and found some OF my
countrywomen leaving their morning
bath or taking the first meal OF the
day In ball dresses or afternoon gowns.
I think they would say that JE5anese
women were quite mad" The OBJ

the way American women wear the XII
mono. III they must wear the XII
mono" said she, why don't they
fasten IT as we fasten It. It should lap

Twice a week everything should be

ton OF the refrigerator IS done at

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York. January 3.--(specal)-An- other day of liquidation at different times by the commission houses, who have been so heavily long for the past six months, and who have been large sellers during the past six days. As there has been little or no short interest in the market except against spot cotton 1t is diff cult for the market to absorb these offer ings, and distribute them to new buyers or to spinners who are buying daily in moderate amounts. The market Is dis posed to rally but on each recovery to- day these houses have been heavy sell lers of their holdings. We estimate that the arbitrage brokers bought for Eu- ropean and continental account today fully 10000 bales which means that that amount went into the hands of foreign spinners in one way or another in addi- ton to the buying by the northern spin ners. So long ss every one wishes to sell at once the market will be under the same pressure as when every one wanted to buy at once When it stops we can expect an improvement.

UPWARD TURN IS NOT HELD

New York, January 13.-While less ac- tive today's cotton market reflected fur ther excitement and violent fluctuations lowest point of the day with the tone weak at a net decline of 10 to 30 points on the general list.
 The opening was weak at an advance of IA points on January, due to the covering of a few shorts, but generally to 19 points net lower, and in spite of steady cables the active months sold off to net loss of IS to 23 points during the first few minutes under overnight selling or ders received in consequence of yester- days break and Wall street liquidation AS soon as the first rush of selling had been absorbed the market steadied on Liverpool buying, supposed to be covering by straddlers, reports of better demand from spinners at the decline. covering of shorts and rather better support from southern bulls. There seemed feeling around the street that the worst of the liquidation was over, and during the mid dle of the day there was comparatively little cotton for sale, with March con-
 
 tracts working up to 14.96c and May to 15.14c. or a net advance of about 13 to IS points and a recovery of from s1 to ss points from the low level of the morning.
 The absence of bull support was evident on this advance, however, and in the late trading fresh bear raid brought out new liquidation with stop loss orders un- covered on a scale down. In less than an hour the market lost the whole of it's mid-day recovery, March contracts clos ing at 14.62c and May 14.74c, or from 34 to 40 points below the best level of the day.
 Southern spot markets officially reported early were generally nominal at prices ranging from Mc lower to Ao higher. Re- ceipts today, 17.753 against S5,S12 last week and 3S19s last year. For the week. 155, 600, against 167S53 last week and 252 ,751 last year.
