CLEAN LACE AT HOME
NOT NECESSARY TO SEND FAB
RIG TO PROFESSIONAL.
Simple Fundamental Rules Kept In
the Memory Is the Only Secret
Sunshine and Fresh Air tho
Two Main Requisites.

In this day when lace Is in its ele-
ment the professional cleaners must
be reaping a fortune simply from the
lace frocks and blouses. petticoats,
hats and neckwear that are brought
TO them to be made spotless. For
most women are afraid OF lace. They
will tackle gloves and shoes, velvet,
silk and chiffon whit will. but they
balk at lace.
In reality lace Is no more difficult
to clean than any other fabric, if you
know how to do it But OF course. to
be successful as lace cleaner you
must take the trouble to learn some
thing about the various methods OF
cleaning and drying.
Wash net, which is much used for
blouses and frocks, can be washed and
dried and ironed just like any other
cotton fabric. 1t should be carefully
lroned, of course, so that it will not
be pulled out of shape. There is little
danger OF stretching it: in fact. it
shrlnks little. But as it must be
ironed when fairly damp in order to
come out fresh and new looking, IL
Is easily pulled out of shape in the
ironing
The secret of washing lace success
fully is to get most of the dirt and
dust and CRIME out of it with as little
rubbing as possible First shake the
lace in the open air and give 1t a
bath in the sunshine. Sunshine, by
the way. and fresh air are friends OF
lace, just as dust and darkness are its
worst enemies. Then. after summing
ri rfr
soapsuds. For this suds dissolve shaw
lngs OF CASTLE or other white soap in
boiling water. and to every gallon OF
water add two tablespoonfuls OF
borax
II the piece of lace to be cleaned is
small, the easiest way to clean it is
TO put it in a big fruit jar, cover it
with soapsuds and let it stand for
four or five hours. In the days when
coal fires were the rule, even in sum-
mer kitchens, good results were had
from putting the jar containing lace
and suds in cool oven at night and
leaving it there until morning. The
heat OF the oven kept the temperature
OF the soapy water at a low heat,
which was effective in extracting
every grain of dust and dirt
While the lace is soaking shake the
Jar from time to time. If it is very
soiled change the soapy water two or
three times. OF course if the piece OF
lace is too big to get in a jar. soak
1t In big granite saucepan or tub
When the lace seems clean rinse it
in three or four changes of clear luke
warm water. Don't rub the lace when
it is in the soapy water and don't
wiring it when it is in the clear water.
To get rid of the water simply press
the lace firmly between the hands. or
press it between two clean bath tow
els When it is moderately free from
water pin it. right side up, on an iron
ing board.
II it is necessary to stiffen the lace,
dissolve little gum arabic in water
and add this to the last rinsing water.
In the case of pure white Face little
blueing should also be added to this
water.

DESTROYING WEEDS IN WALKS
Icals or Sprays Which Can Be
Used With Good Success.

CBy JULIUS ERDMAN. Colorado Agri-
cultural College-)
1t Is rather a tedious process and
hard on tools to remove weeds or
grass from walks by hoeing OF cut
ting them out between the stones, but
there are a number of chemicals or
sprays which can be used with good
success.
l. Salt-Take l pound of salt to
gallon of water; boil and apply while
still hot; or dry salt may be used and
then watered in. but this will color
the walk more or less, and is not quite
so effective.
2. Crude carbolic acid, Il ounce of
the liquid to l gallon of water, will
also destroy ants.
8. Sulphuric acid. As ounce of the
acid to 1 gallon of water. Best ap-
Piled with a wooden pail
1. Take l pound OF powdered
arsenic TO gallons Of cold water;
boil and stir well. Then Z gallons
of cold water with pounds of sal
soda.
5. Lime and sulphur, 10 gallons of
water. 20 pounds of quicklime and 2
pounds of flowers of sulphur are
boiled in iron vessel. After settling,
the clear part IS dipped off and used
when needed.
There are also a number of COM

which can be bought 1T seed stores.

is usually sufficient for the season. AS
most of them contain poison, either
arsenics or acids, great care should
be exercised in handling them.

Why Use Plant Food?

The crops which you are growing
average to mature in so to 90 days
The seasons are short. The plants
must have their food every hour they
are in the soil, and it must be avail
able OF they will not grow. If you
think you can trust quick-growing
crops on insoluble fertilizers, that Is
Tor you to determine. but in my judg-
ment, taking the seasons as they go,
wet and dry, hot and cold, you will
ind you will be the loser. You have
to take a great risk as to the weather.
That is the largest factor in raising
crops Can you afford to take any
risk in the seed. the kind of fertilizer
used. or the culture employed. factors
over which you have control?

Disenfectinq Cow Stables.

Disinfectants cannot destroy germs
II they do not come into direct con-
tact with them. Disinfectants should
be applied In sufficient quantity to
thoroughly saturate the surfaces, aft
er the adhering particles of dirt are
removed. In the application of the
disinfectant in COW stables it is well
to use a broom or stiff brush and
thoroughly scrub the flood, feed
troughs, stanchions and lower parts
of the walls.
The solution can be applied to the
ceilings and upper parts of the side
walls with a spray pump and must be
carried into any crevice and recess
into which dirt can enter.

HEAVYWEIGHTS BATTLE
GO TEN ROUNDS BEFORE CAPAC-
ITY CROWD-TWO INTERESTING
IRELIMINARIES.

After one scrappy and one sappy pre-
liminary. Forester and Brandon gave
an exhibition of smuggling, which was
mostly foot work rushing. s~talling and
clinching, before almost a capacity crowd
At Fort Brown yesterday afternoon. Jim
Davis acted as referee and was kept as
busy as 4 fox terrier pulling the pugs
apart. lie is to be complimentcd on his
excellent foot work and there was very
little grumb!ing with his decisions.
His decisions were fair and he watched
the fight cloNly. lie had some hard
breaks to make especially between the
principles in the ten round bout. The de
cision in each contest was a draw.
Neither man seemed afraid to face the
music except at times when Forester ap-
peared in his defensive work to be stall
ing too much, and in two rounds where
clinches and foot work took up all the
time, and when only three futile swings
were made.
There was scarcely any short arm and
close range mixing. On the whole the
crowd of 100 were satisfied with what
they got for their money, though they
were anxious to see a more determined
assault.
In the first prelim Wall put up a very
scrappv article against his opponent
Weir. Wicr weighed in at 80 pounds
and Wall at 1873. Weir had the advan-
tage in reach, but Wall made up for that
with the savagcness Of his attack and
got considerable applause for his rush
work. He got first blood in the second
and punched WcirS wind and nose sew
eral times during the five rounds. Weir
stood up and gave as good in return The
bout was declared a draw
The second prelim was Il love match
and PerkOwitz' method of defense.
against possible head blows. was on the
order of a clock telling the time of day.
He kept both hands going all the time
protecting his features from mutilation.

with clinchcs predominating. Conner
managed to set Perkowitz down in the
third and then Perks lost his rabbits
foot. and built a leather fence around
his nose and waited for the execution
that did not come. Conner could have
done him up had he q mind to.
At the tap of the bell for the main bout
both boys stepped briskly to the center
of the ring, and after the handclasp For
ester met Brandon with a full right
swing that got him off his balance and
followed this up with 4 short left arm
lab to the face that set Brandon down
for the first and only wood touch Of
the bout.
The rounds were a succession of
ruShes. clinches and little execution,
Brandon forcing the fight most Of the
time. Forester showed the most steam
and worked carefully On the defensive at
all times. Brandon played for the head
and got first blood in the eighth when
he sent along 4 right arm swing To For
ester's prObiscus. Forester was wary Of
his fighting and refused to waste strength
on a thrashing fight. Both men could
nave taken and given more punishment
and have zone the twenty five rount
route. The decision was a draw.
