Question Right To Raise Funds

Since Hon. Joshua Miles, of Somerset
county, collected $500 from the Demo-
Gratis of the county, as contributions to
the Wilson campaign fund, and for
warded the same to Governor Wilson, a
number of Jealous Wilson Democrats
have set out to follow his example.
Meanwhile the question is raised as to
whether this is not violation of the
corrupt practices act, which provides
that only duly authorized and bonded
treasurers or agents may collect cam
paign funds. But then the poor old
corrupt practices act seems to be gen.
orally more honored in the breach than
the observance.

To Iron Fine Damask Linen.

There is a superstition that fine
damask shows up better II ironed with
out drying, a superstition that de-
serves to be exploded. Hang your
linen very smooth and take 1t down,
folding It as smooth as possible, when
1t is fairly damp. Let 1t lie folded and
covered thickly an hour or SO, then
iron dry. This you can do with in
fnitely less wear to the fabric than If
you froned 1t sopping wet. AS to the
saving of muscle no words are needed.
II things are allowed to get bone dry,
then sprinkled down, they never come
quite SO smooth as IL folded damp.
But bone drying In midsummer sun Ia
worth while now and again, In that 1t
sweetens and whitens as no artificial
agency possibly can.
