GOOD THINGS TO KNOW.

Soda will brighten china that has
been burned or darkened by long use.
Knives not in daily use should be
well polished and buried in a box of
sawdust until required for use.
The tops of old evening gloves are
said to be better even than chamois for
polishing mirrors and windows. Cut
the gloves off little way above the
wrist part and sew the arm sections
together, having first cut each glove
arm up. You will need two pairs of
gloves for the purpose.
For wiping oiled floors prepare an
oiled duster Wiring a cloth out of
kerosene and hang it out of doors until
perfectly dry. All odor Of kerosene dis
appears. and the cloth is not oily to the
touch. This gathers the dust and holds
it. 1t cleans as effectively as a damp
cloth and without injury to the wood
finish.

TAKING UP THE CARPET.
Suggestions a. to Washing and Sowing
the Floor Covering.

To wash the carpet thoroughly you
will require bucket of warm water, Il
cake OF carpet soap. Il piece Of house
flannel and if you are going to tackle a
fair sized piece of carpet at once a
supply of dry cloths
Start washing as far from the door
as possible and work toward it. The
flannel is wetted and portion Of the
carpet well rubbed. 1t must be wetted
only sufficiently to secure good lather
by rubbing the carpet soap ball well In.
Then with the clean wet flannel re-
move the soap. Rinse the flannel well
afterwarh so that it is quite soapless
when you begin again another fresh
piece.
No soap must be left in the carpet
when the final rubbing commences.
Take a dry towel and rub your best.
Though YOU cannot get rid of all damp
ness. you can almost dry the patch
with friction, and this brings up the
nap beautifully, also the colors.-Phila-
delphia Press.
At spring house cleaning time many
women who take care OF their own
homes find it necessary to turn about
their carpets after they have been TAX
en- up and cleaned. putting the worn
parts under the heavy furniture. while
the good breadths are placed in con-
spicuouS places.
Perhaps the carpet will have to be
made over, ripped in the seams and
turned about to suit the needs Of read
justlnent. In that case use sharp
penknife or a small parihg knife with a
sharp edge and. turning the carpet on
the wrong side so the seams are ex-
posed. cut the stitches exactly between
the seam. taking care not to cut the
carpet.
After the breadths have been turned
about they must be sewed together
again. First pick out all the cut
threads from each side Of the seams,
then lay the breadths together, right
side to right side. and sew with waxed
carpet thread using long. heavy
needle which comes for that purpose.
The stitch most commonly used is the
simple over and over stitch.
Stitches should not be taken too
close together and should not be drawn
tight.
Old carpets that have out!ved their
usefulness as entire floor coverings
may be converted into useful rugs by
ripping up each BREADTH selecting the
best parts. sewing them together. max

CLEANING Hats Of Straw.

The safest method of bleaching or
cleaning straw is by means of the
fumes of burning sulphur. The hat
must first be scrubbed with soap and
luekwarm water. Or apply chlorine
water with sponge, cloth or brush.
Afterward rinse in clear water con-
tanning hyposulphite of soda. or make a
paste of corn meal and a solution OF
oxaIic acid in water. Spread this on
the hat. allow it to dry and remove

Must Boost

Tacoma has the big end of
the base ball schedule this year.
There is a new deal in the
base ball pack. The management
is new and the players signed up
are good.
But if there is going to be a
ball team the sport lovers have
got to lend a helping hand to
President A. E. Rothermel. If
the base ball fans of the city want
to see Tacoma play ball in the
first division this year, which she
will with the present manage
ment and ordinary base ball luck,
the moneyed fans of the city have
got to get in and boost.
President Rothermel has out
lined a business policy which will
at least break even, and the
prospects are brighter for a big
ger and better financial base ball
year than ever before. There
must be finance in base ball.
But underlying the financial
foundation is the love of every
good American for clean, honest
sport. Base ball has become the
national game because it is clean
and honest, because it brings out
the best in fan and player.
