LABOR PROBLEM

New Work Must Be Found for
100 Marquette COnyiCts

attendance, prison labor viii be one of
the subjects discussed Because of re-
cent legislation, coupled with expiring
contracts, the labor problem will soon
be acute in all the prisons of the
state. 1t is now giving the officers of
the Jackson prison much concern.
Contracts are now under the ban.
and law passed by the last lcgisla-
tGre forbids their continuance after
the existing agreements run out. II
that was all there was 10 the law and
ii the boards of control were free To-
establish such prison industries as. in
their judgment, would prove profitable,
as we'll as afford useful training To the
Convicts, the labor problem would be
an easy one. But the boards have no
such freedom of action, for the same
law that places contracts under the
ban provides that the cunvicts shall

serious one indeed. If the boards were
at liberty Ia introduce any industry
that promised good returns, and were
allowed To sell on the open market. the
prisons could soon Ice made self-sup

stands is modified they will likely be-

Use Warm Water, Soap and Piece Of
Flannel, Drying Well With
Towel

To wash the carpet thoroughly you
will require a bucket OF warm water,
a cake of carpet soap, piece Of house
flannel and, IL you are going to tackle
a fair-sized piece Of carpet at once. a
supply of dry cloths.
DO not begin near the door, as you
may require to leave the room for
fresh water, and 1t is unwise to walk
on the carpet when damp. Make up
your mind to do without the room
till all Is dry. Start washing as far
from the door as possible, and work
towards It. The flannel is wetted, and
portion Of the carpet wcll-rubbed.
1t must not be overdone, only wetted
sufficiently to secure a good lather
by running the carpet soap ball well
In. Then with the clean, wet flannel
remove the soap. Well rinse the fan
mel afterwards, so that it is quite
soapless when you begin again, later,
on another piece.
No soap must be left in the carpet
when the final rubbing commences.
Take a dry towel, and rub to your
best. Though you cannot get rid of all
dampness, you can almost dry the
patch with friction, and this brings up
the nap beautifully, also the colors.
