Try This on washday.

An experienced housewife gives this
as reliable recipe for making cotton
goods white: In an ordinary wash boiler
put one and half inch water, then put
in one bar Of good laundry soap. thInly
sliced. Let II come to a boil. then put
in two tablespoonfuls kerosene oil. When
the soap is all dissolved, add enough
water to I'LL the boiler two-thirds fun
and put the clothes in II. After boiling
nve minutes the clothes can be removed,
thoroughly cleaned and white, without
previous soaking, In this way the clothes
require no rubbing, and the method
saves much OF the labor Of wash day.

ZINC-TOPPED TABLE,
CONSTANT DELIGHT
Ingenious Woman Can Make One
at Home.

A homemade zinc-topped table is a
convenience that is a constant delight
in the home of an ingenious bride. She
carried out the idea very inexpensively,
after admiring a costly metal-topped
table with a raised border OF the metal
all around the edge to keep small OBJ
jects from rolling OF when the surface
was wet and slippery.
She had noticed in her girlhood kome
that the kitchen table in constant use
caused considerable annoyance in keep
ing ii clean and slightly after hard serv-
ice. IN spite OF constant care, grease
spots frequently penetrated the wooden
surface and refused to be removed.
Dishwashing stains from pots and pans
resulted from mishaps when the dish
washer was too busy to take the usual
precautions. Stains and marks from
canning and preserving, knife marks

an unknown squaring himself with
his conscience. About five years ago,
Mr.. Kennedy lost a pocketbook con-

received letter signed Repent

the money and the interest for five
years, stating that he found the
pocketbook and should have returned
it but failed to do so and now wishes
TO clear his conscience by admitting
his sorrow for the unprincipled act
and making restitution TO the right
full owner of the money.
