Washington.-Senator Norris Brown

inner of Illinois must have known that
his election to the senate by the Illi-
nois legislature was accomplished by
corrupt practice. He held that Sena-
tors Holstlaw and Broderick and Rep

had been bought to elect Lorimer SEN

of representatives were the political
agents of Mr.. Lorimer in accomplish
ing his election, and that it was not
possible for the election to ha' been
brought about under the conditions
then existing except by corrupt prac-

remarks to an analysis of the testi-
mony which involved directly the rela-
tions Of Lorimer, Shurtlef and
Browne and the relations Of Browne
with his thirty minority followers. Mr..
Brown issued a challenge to obstruc-

this day of outdoor sleeping rooms,
to speak of the Importance Of airing
the bedding and room each day; but
there are many, many homes where
fresh air only enters because carpen'
try cannot make woodwork air
tight.
We may excuse the extreme poor,
who are saving fuel and heat; but
what of those who have plenty anu
yet deny themselves the blessing OF
pure air? One Of the best ways OF
training housekeepers is in the school,
the children who are taught the way
to air bed and make it are learning
valuable lessons in Housekeeping
These lessons may be taught with
dolls bed in the rural schools, where
this knowledge is as much needed as
in the cities.
No equipment seems to be the
great drawback in so many schools.
First, teacher with some training IN
the line of household economics and an
interest deep enough to overcome OBJ
stacles, and this teaching becomes
great educational factor to both boys
and girls.
1t is we'll that the boys should be
trained in the knowledge of the value
of a well-managed home, that it takes
skill of high order to keep the house
hold running smoothly and without
friction.
Roosevelt says: Teach the boys
to be home-makers and the girls to be
home-keepers."
The Importance of this training
cannot be estimated as large ma
jority of the boys and girls receive
none of this teaching in their homes,
and all they acquire will be from
school training.
The great obstacle to household eco
nomics in the rural schools. beside
lack of equipment and trained teach
ers, is the already crowded curricu-
lum; but even this may be met by
giving the training in connection with
language, reading, arithmetic Ind for

when 1t becomes practically mere
rivulet. The farm was established
about ten years ago on compare
lively small scale; but the venture
proved so profitable that the owner
developed the business along lines
such as have marked the growth Of
other great modern industries. until
he claims to now have more than
100000 fully grown pigeons in his
establishment, not to mention tens Of
thousands Of squads. Any one ques-
tioning the accuracy of the figures has
the privilege of counting. AS mat
ter of fact, the estimate probably Is
many thousands below the actual
number.
The object Of this vast pigeon breed
ing establishment is the production
of squads. At tho present time about
40 dozen squads are killed and sent
to market every day; but little later
in the season the daily output will be
much greater, so that the annual
squad crop from this one establish
ment is about 250,0O0. These sell at
anywhere from $3.50 up to 81 per
dozen depending upon the time of
year,, and it is evident that the in.

foots up to very tidy sum annually.
However, this is not all velvet" by
any means. The birds consume be-

every day and the labor of looking
after them, keeping the buildings
clean and sanitary, and killing and
preparing the squads for market is not

RelpfuI Hints.

Helpful Hints.
Uses of the Lemon.-Take daily the
Juice of large lemon, either in cold
water or clear. This is remedy for
biliousness.
For a felon, cut off the end of a
lemon and insert the finger, bind it
on. In the morning the tester will be
near the surface and may easily be re-
moved.
Lemon juice and loaf sugar is a
good remedy for coughs.
Lemon is a good stain remover,
either from the hands or clothing.
To remove tan, wash the face in
water and lemon juice.
A trained nurse of experience has
emphasized Nthe necessity of keeping
mirrors out Of the sickroom.
The patient should never be al
lowed to look into one, if the ravages
wrought by disease are very evident,
as tie shock which it gives nervous
patient is hard to soothe away.
To Wash White Cashmere.
First remove all the hooks and eyes
and any colored trimming. Then
shave up about four ounces of white
soap, put it into saucepan, cover
with water and allow it to melt over
gentle heat. When quite dissolved.
take out a cupful. beat the remainder
to !ather in gallon of water. When
the suds is little cooled. immerse
the cashmere, squeeze it and knead
it in water. Do not rub soap on the
material. When all the dirt has been
removed, squeeze without wringing,
and place the goods in bath Of
tepid water to which the cupful Of
dissolved soap has been added.
Squeeze as much Of the water out
again as you can and hang to dry in
the oren air.
When nearly dry. press with an iron
not too hot.
Very pretty porch pillows are made
by drawing pretty colored strips Of
worsted through burlap. Different de-
signs may be used and contrasting or
we,l.hlanded colors make the pillows
very artistic.
Honey is one of the best remedies
for cough.
