HOUSEHOLD NOTES

To sweeten jars and cans which have contained tobacco, onions or any, thing else of strong odor, wash the article clean, then fill it with fresh for twenty-four hours. Then wash it and dry it and it will be quite sweet and fit for use.
 Take old net curtains (fishnet wifi do) and dip them in tubful of soapy water, then in a. tub containing a sO- lution of 10 cents worth of copperas. Repeat and hang up to dry. The re- suit will be beautiful deep burnt orange, color, which gives sunset ef- feet sin the darkest room.
 To keep flies from the house dip a sponge in boiling sWater and place 1t in a saucer. Pour on this half a tea spoonful of oil of lavender, which for some reason or other is very obnox- iousa to fiesJ The sponge requires mofstening with boiling water about twice a day, with oil about once a week. x
 To protect the ruffles of petticoats from the inevitable wear and tear bind the edge of the outer ruffle with rick-rack braid and the dust ruffle Not only will the lace and lawn be protected from harm, but the appear. ance of the r,Gffle itself will be inn proved.
 To dry-clean a white coat lay the coat on table and cover it with mixture of powdered borax and French chalk. Leave it for half an hour or so, then take a clean cloth and rub it well all over. Let it lie twenty four hours, then shake and brush it well, when it will probably look quite fresh.
 One of the most satisfactory ways to hasten the cure of mosquito bites ,G 1@s %~Q .A1 -Il sores, is to open the skin over the sore, so as to let the poisoned fluid escape. Then the affected spot is real- ly only a wound, and is susceptible to treatment with aIItiseptics and heal ing lotions.
 Make your curtains with hems of equal width at top and bottom Af- down, slipping the rod through what was before the bottom hem. This eQualizee wear and tear and prolongs their life. Be careful not to make such curtains of a material whose f1g- ures are not reversible in position. gloves: Rub them we'll in 1uke-warm water to which little ammonia has been added, and rinse quickly in clear water of the same temperature. Hang them where they will dry rapidly and then put them between sheets of white paper and under weight. Treated in this way they will not turn yellow.
 Wall paper may be successfully cleaned with stale bread. A loaf of ordinary size is used. The bread should be two days old. Dust the paper with a soft cloth wrapped about a broom. Use light strokes in order not to stretch the paper. When the dust has been removed, cut the loaf of bread into four parts and sweep down the paper with a light, steady stroke.
 A most effective trimming for a dress can be secured by selecting pattern, of lace with a decided floral figure, and painting the flowers and leaves with oil points or dyes. These colors will not fade when laundered if pressed with a hot iron immediately after being painted. Paint the out line of the design in a tone slightly darker than the rest.

THE PISTOLS DEADLY RECORD.

One man was killed in. Bridgeport on the Fourth (by a stray bulleD. Two were wounded (by stray bullets). Of twenty other, accidents incidental to the celebration which were import ant enough to be recorded, fourteen are described as blank cartridge wounds and one was caused by a gun shot. It is quite evident that you do not get safe and sane Fourth until firearms are eliminated. Re- volvers are altogether too cheap and common for the we'll being of the community, anyhow. Let our city boards everywhere take notice of the significant Bridgeport statistics.
 Let us now consider the amazing fact that in addition to one boy be- ing killed in Waterbury by a stray bullet, one man was killed and two injured in Bridgeport in the same way on the Fourth. What is going on in the mind of the man Or boy who loads a revolver with ball cartridge for the purpose of firing off Fourth of July salutes. It would be worth while to know so that the danger could be reckoned with.-Waterbury Republican

Owens Plea For
 Commission Plan
Senator Submits List of 13O Cities in U. $. Success.
 fully Governed
Special from United Press.)

Washington, July S-With a speech delivered, yesterday Senator Owen, Oen., Okla), submitted list of over 130 cities and towns in the Uni- ted States successfully governed by the commission plan.
 Owen said in the course of an ar- gument:
 'The great problem of the present time is the restoration of equality of opportunity so that every man, every woman and every child may receive and enjoy a fair return for labor hon. orably and faithfully performed; so that every human being can have an equal opportunity to enjoy the provid- ences of God and the inalienable rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
 The commission form of govern ment eliminates more partisan politics in cities, towns and villages in the government of such municipalities. It usually carries with it the initiative, referendum and recall, enabling the people to initiate and pass any law they do want, including corrupt prac- tces prevention acts and do away with any law they do not want, such as granting franchises of value with out consideration and enables them to recall inefficient or dishonest of ficials.''

No Civic Welcome To Ireland For
 King And Queen
Especial from United Press.)


 Dublin, July s.-King George and Queen Mary set foot On Irish soil at 10:30 a. m.. today, when they landed from the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, at Victoria Wharf, Kingston, amid the hearty. cheers of vast crowd and the thunderous salute of the home fleet outside the harbor. With the King and Queen were the Prince of Wales Princess Mary, the Duke of, Connaught and brilliant staff.
 No official civic welcome to Ire land greeted their Majesties. As they stepped ashore at the wharf, where a guard of honor had been drawn up. Viceroy Lord Aberdeen. the Countess Of Aberdeen, Irish Secretary Burrill, Sir Neville Littleton, the high sheriff of Dublin, and many other appointed officials. extended a formal welcome but not single elected official was present in his official capacity
 The heartiness with which the King and Queen were \cheered by the immense crowd which had gathered in measure made up for the lack of official civic welcome.
 Mayor Farrell, whose insistence up- on welcoming their Majesties in the council taking steps to remove him did not appear It is understood that he was advised that his attitude was embarrassing to the King and Queen The Kingston District Council was the only civic body which greeted Their Majesties. They assured the King and Queen of Ireland's loyalty to which the King made a short re- sponse.
 The entry into Dublin was infor- mai.
 Preceded by vedettas of the Royal irish Cavalry and escorted by a de- teachnent of Fifth Royal Irish Lan- cers. the party was driven to Dub- lin Castle.
 At Nonkstown Church and at Balls bridge, addresses were presented by local reception committees but again there was an entire absence of civic or other representative officials
 After luncheon, the King and his party left the castle and visited the Royal College of Science.
