TO RENOVATE VELVET.
Requested.


Velvet can be cleaned very nicely at
home if in moderate sized pieces, and
now that small velvet hats are in style
again, one can make use of remnants
on hand. First brush with a soft
brush, then remove all threads and
knots. Have a flat iron very hot,
turn it over and lay a wet cloth on
it's face. Pass the velvet over the
steaming cloth very slowly. The
steam which passes through it raises
the nap. Brush with a soft whisk
broom while it is steaming. One
should be careful to brush so as to
roughen or raise the pile rather than
smooth it. If one can't really tell,
steam 1t dry then brush 1t in strong
light. Wet the cloth as fast as it
dries so there will be lots of steam.
If the velvet is very old steam it twice.
In using velvet on clothes one should
always remember to use it upside
down or so as the pile will not smooth
when the hand is drawn down over it.

BAKED APPLES.

A variety may be had by little
care. After washing and removing
the core place in baking pan with
water. Fill cavities with sugar.
Bake slowly until soft; take out and
boil the juice until thick. Pour over
apples; when cold it will be jelly.
Serve with cream. Or, instead OF fill
ing with sugar put in honey and
broken walnuts. This is a good way
to make use of honey that has run
from the comb.
Another way is to place the cored
fruit in pan with sweetened water,
about an inch and half. Add slice
or two of lemon. Boil Is minutes,
adding water if needed. Remove,
sprinkle tops with sugar and set in
the oven to brown. This gives a very
fine flavor and makes good dish to

In the face of the stern today.

CANNING.
CANNED VEGETABLE SOUP.

Often in the fall one has more veg
etables than they can use. 1t is a
good plan to prepare them for winter
use if one has plenty of cans. and be-
sides it saves much time to have the
Ingredients all prepared. Scald, peel
and mash one peck of ripe tomatoes,
run two heads of cabbage, dozen
medium sized carrots, one bunch of
parsley, one-half peck OF onions,
through the food chopper, or chop in
bowl. Cut fine three stalks OF celery;
boil a dozen ears of corn on the cob
ten minutes, cut off and scrape. Mix
all together, add small handful of
salt to every gallon. If the mixture
seems dry, add little water and cook
until the carrots are we'll done. Seal
while hot in quart jars. Add one
can to soup stock in winter.
GREEN TOMATO PICKLES
SWEET.
Slice green tomatoes without peel
ing, sprinkle lightly with salt and let
stand over night. Drain we'll in the
morning. Put layer in the cooking
kettle, sprinkle over one tablespoon
each of cinnamon and allspice, one
teaspoon OF cloves and three or four
chopped sweet peppers and one cup
of sugar. Continue to put in layers

Your future has deeds of glory.

But your arm will never be stronger,

Rise If the past detains you,
Her sunshine and storms forget
No chains so unworthy to hold you
AS those of vain regret.
Sad or bright, she is lifeless ever;
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson
Of nobler strife today.
Rise for the day is passing;
The sound that you scarcely hear
Is the enemy marching to battle;
Arise for the foe is here
Stay not to sharpen your weapons,
| Or the hour will strike at last
When from dreams of coming battle
You may wake to find it past!

Cheberiak, Eugene's father, stated that
week before the murder, his son told
him that two jews, wearing unusual
garb, had taken up their residence with
Bells, and that he had seen them pray
ing. Unfortunately, Eugene, who had
been siekly, died before his evidence
could be taken by the examining mag
istrate, or the mystery might have been
cleared away. Cheberiak' s hare was
the notorious rendezvous of a band Of
thieves, and it was they whom Krass-
ovsly and other detectives believed to
have been the real murderers.
Later Ivan Kosatehenke, a convict
informer, who was placed in the same
cell with Bells for two months, declar-
ed that Bells arranged with him to
poison all the witnesses against him,
and promised that if he did so the Jews
would keep him in comfort for life.
Throughout the various preliminary
processes of the case the defense has
been seriously handicapped by the man
ifest preiudices of The court official;
against the prisoner. All possible OBJ
stacles were thrown in the way of de
fense counsel. His first attorney, Gri
gorovitch, was severely reprimandeC
and temporarily suspended from th'
case for having signed petition pro

His next lawyer, Margoulin, was forced
out by reason of palpably false charg,
made by Vera Cheberiak, mother Of tn,
boy, Eugene, that he had attempted t,
bribe her. Bells was today represent
ed in court by an array of counsel EN-
ployed by wealthy Jews, chief Of whom

LIVESTOCK INCREASE ON
NATIONAL FOREST RANGES

A marked increase in the quantity
of livestock grazed on national forest
ranges during the past fiscal year is
reported by the forest service. Nine
and a half million domestic animals
have been occupied during the summer
in converting one of the by-prOducts
of the forests into meat, hides, and
wool. In addition, there were in round
numbers three hundred thousand
calves and colts and five million lambs
and kids exempt from permit and there
fore not enumerated.
According to the figures gathered,
tho amount of stock grazed under per-
nit during the year is over four per
cent greater than for the previous
year. while the number of permittees
using the forests for pasturage pur-
poses was increased from 26,50l to
p ,466. The total receipts by the gov
ernment from grazing fees for the
twelve months ending June 30 1913,
were 81, l,OO7, ,739, and the portion of this
applied to schools and roads in the
states in which the national forests are
situated is about $780, ,7OS.
Grazing is second only to numbering
as principal use Of the national for
ests. Practically all of the national
forests used extensively for grazing
purposes are within the eleven states
extending east from the Pacific coast
known as the "far western group
These states contain, according to lat

states II per cent of the total mum
Der of cattle grazed, 34S per cent o
horses and mules, and 27.5 per cent o

II is estimated that the annual pro
duet Of these animals is 100000 hea,
of beef cattle of various ages an,
, grades and 100000 head of lambs an
