Der 3 to Make Change in
Amendment Error

tary Mitchell, issued the proclamation
calling the state legislature in extra
ordinary session to make a needed
change in constitutional amendment
No. 1, which is to be voted on by the
electors of the state in November The
legislature will meet in the state cap
itol at IL o'clock, noon, Monday,
October s.
The proclamation was drafted in San
Francisco today and was signed and
issued on the Ell Dorado train of the
Southern Pacific line tonight. The
leading point to be taken up in the
session is shown by the following pre-
amble which is Incorporated in the
call:
Whereas, it appears that the said
amendment leaves uncertain the period
for which the gross receipts and gross
premiums mentioned in said resolu-
tions are to be computed upon which
the taxes therein provided for are to
be levied. and in case said amendment
should be adopted in it's present form
by the people, such amendment would
Jeopardize the revenues to be raised
by the state under such amendment" :"

The Poorest People.

Frequently one runs across an
item of the death of some appar-
antly poverty stricken recluse
hermit or beggar, who after his or
her death is found to have left a
large estate of many thousands of
dollars for their next of kin to
scrap over.
These people are really poorer
than they appear In the midst of
plenty they are in want. They not
only starve their bodies but they
shriveled up their souls.
They deny themselves the neces-
sity of existence and the broaden
ing influence that expenditure for
bodily and spiritual comforts
brings. They are more poverty
stricken and wretched than the
man or woman who lives on the
veriest crust and has no where to
lay his head.
No man is richer than he thinks
himself Around him may lie the
ocean Of comforts nature bestOws
with a broad hand and, like the
Ancient Mariner aflOat on the I'M
known sea. he has Water, water,

the hearth, the light in the windows

Some of our farmers wonder why
their sons have a desire to quit the
farm, preferring town or city life.
The cause is with the farmer him
self. With the boy on the farm it
is perpetual toll in good weather,
all through the busy season. and
perpetual loneliness in bad wealth
er and most of the winter season.
The time when the farmer has
leisure is at the very time when
they cannot get away from home
on account of their isolation and
bad roads. The boy hungers for
company and his heart revolts
against this uncomfortable loneliness
and to free himself from it, walks
miles through the mud to spend an
hour at the country store. We are
glad to note that in some sections
of cur country the young people of
both sexes, have broken through
these barriers, and established
farmers clubs and little societies of
one sort or another. This should
be encouraged and will prove a
great tonic to keep the young peo-
pie on the farm and make life to
them worth the living. Milan

they do not give proper attention to

know how to keep young by sup
plying vigor, luster and strength to

Bleaching.

For bleaching purposes use pure
borax. Dissolve in boiling water
before adding to the sleeping water
for bleaching clothes, as 1t is only
slightly soluble in cold water.
1t is very safe to use for bleach
ing, as it has no harmful effect or
fabrics, and is used to bleach cuffs
collars, ties, handkerchiefs. white
silk waists and all white clothes
Borax is often used in the laundry
for giving a gloss to linen. The
proportion employed is one table
spoonful to every eight tablespoon,
fuls of starch. 1t is at times used
for the removal of tea and coffee
stains, but if the stain becomes dry
before the borax is applied its &C.
ton is seldom effective, and some
thing stronger has to be used. AL
ways keep it in a covered jar.
Clothes, from various causes. get a
bad color. If they cannot be grass
bleached, the sureSt method of
whitening and bleaching is by the
moderate use chlorine substance.
A strong bleaching liquid must be
very carefully prepared, and as very
carefully used, or it burns the ma
terials. Put a half pound of
chloride of lime in a basin and
make it into a smooth paste, with
a little cold water, rubbing down
with a wooden spoon. Pour on one
quart of boiling water, and put into
a jar or pitcher with a cover. Stir
then, then let it settle and stand for
a day or two, giving it stir occa-
sicnally. Skim thoroughly and
strain twice through a fine muslin,
leaving behind all the insoluble
lime. This clear liquid can now be
added to the water in which you
bleach, and of course must be done
after washing, boiling and rinsing.
Add just enough of the solution
to make the bleaching water smell
slightly. This used undiluted, will
take out almost any stain. Dip a
rag in the solution and rub on the
stain, but rinse thoroughly after
wards. Keep this bleaching liquid
tightly corked and in a dark place;
if exposed to sunlight the dissolved
powder decomposes. Needless to
say many rinSings are necessary af-
ter using this bleaching fluid, which
by the way, also acts as a disinfect,
