More Linen Talk.

The ladies of the First Baptist
Church are still taking orders for
the Oxford linen towels, but honest
scepticism keeps many from awaiting
themselves of this great opportuni-
ty. They don't see how linen tow
els can be furnished so cheaply.
Did you know our National Govern
ment estimates that four billion
pounds of flax straw is annually
burned in this country because
there is no market for it? The Ok
ford linen people are now using
some of this waste, and getting 1t
at low figure, compared with the
price of cotton. The new process
converts this straw into the fin
ished product in one-tenth the time
required by the old method, and,
then, oh! that tariff you have been
paying on the SILT, 100000 worth
of imported linen each year; but
we will not discuss that; we pay
statesmen to attend to that part of
our business. However, you can see
how Oxford linen can compete with
domestic cotton and imported linen.
You can also see how you get more
than you expect for your money.

Most of our dull days are due to

Is not One-tenth that Is genuine. Gen
orally the main component Is cotton.
The test for this Is simple. All that
Is necessary is to pull out few threads
and apply a lighted match Cotton

up.
To distinguish pure linen from coun-
terfeit is even easier. The intended
buyer need but wet the finger and ap-
ply II TO the goods. II they are pure

the spot touched will be soaked at
once, and almost Immediately one side

Frauds are more numerous In SILK
than in any other fabric, but here also
the material Of adulteration Il cotton.
It's presence can be readily discovered.
Draw a few threads out. The piece Of
cotton win snap on short when pulled,
while the silk will stretch and permit
Q considerable pull before breaking.
The boosted silk OF our grandmoth-
ers that stood by ITSELF is not neeeS-
sarily the best Modern ingenuity has
devised means by giving the poorest
articles the best body requisite for this
purpose. Shellac and other sticky sub
