the burrows with cold cream, rubbing

CASE OF CONNELL.
Judge Carver Held Was None Against
Him.

J. J. Connell, charged with violating
a state law in soliciting insurance
without a license. was held not to be
guilty of an offense by Judge Robert
D. Carver, of the county court this
morning However, although he dis
missed the criminal case, Judge Carver
held that the state law has been vio-
lated. but pointed out that the remedy
prescribed by law lies in a civil action
to recover a penalty.
The law is somewhat vague, Judge
Carver said, but he believes after
studying the matter carefully that the
section making a violation of certain
of the insurance laws a misdemeanor
does not apply to the question in dis
pute. He held that the law had been
violated and that a different remedy
is prescribed.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS

(By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson)
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l have some
good linen napkins which were spoil
ed by being washed before fruit stains
were taken out. Can you suggest some
thing to remove these stains?
ANXIOUS.
Javelle water will probably remove
them. You can get it already prepar-
ed at the drug store, or make II your
self as follows:
One pound washing soda, 1 quart
boiling water. Z pound chloride of
lime. > quarts cold water. Put soda into
agate pan and add boiling water. Dis
solve lime in the cold water. let mix
ture settle. then pour the clear liquid
into the dissolved soda. Bottle and
keep in dark place. Apply a few drops
to the stain, then Immediately pour
boiling alter through it. Repeat until
stain is gone. Rinse well, as if any
of the javelle remains it will rot the
goods.
To take out the odor of chloride of
lime, rinse the last time in water with
a little ammonia added.
