CLEANING CLOTHES AT HOME
Some Simple Methods That Will Pro-
duce Results Equal TO Those OF
the Professional.

We all now need so many articles
of wearing apparel that the problem
Of keeping them clean has grown TO
be serious one indeed, to those who
find it expedient to do some of their
own cleaning rather than send all TO
q professional cleaner.
Grease is the most common of all
spots.
1t may be removed in either OF
three ways-by absorption. emulsion
or by the use of soap and hot water
The soap and hot water process NAV
be applied to all small articles that
can be Numbered in the usual manner,
and should require but little trouble.
Large articles and such fabrics as
cannot be Numbered may be treated
by absorption. Fresh grease spots
may often be entirely removed by a
melting process alone Place pieces
OF white blotting paper over and IN
der the spot and press with a warm
iron
If the fabric is such that the heat
will affect the color, cold absorption,
with French chalk as the absorbent,
can be used. Pulverize the chalk,
cover the spot thickly with it. and al
low it to stand for several hours
| Then brush off with a soft brush. Il
necessary apply 1t a second time
This chalk may also be applied by
mixing it to paste with benzine. ap-
plying it in that form. and brushing
it when thoroughly dry.
In cases of large grease spots OF
long standing it is best to use sol
vent of grease, such as alcohol, chloro
form, ether, benzine or naphtha. Ben
zine and naphtha are the best fol
woolens, while ether aud chloroforn
are best for silk, and may be used in
the most delicate fabrics. A thicl
piece. of sateen is a good article with
which to apply these solvents. as y
does not become linty.

Win Premiums and Prizes in
Competition With the
World.

There are thousands OF young men
filling positions in stores and offices,
and In professional occupations
throughout the United States, who In
their earlier life, worked on the farm.
The allurements OF city life were at
tractive, until they faced the stern
reality. These people would have
done better had they remained on the
farm. Many OF them, convinced OF
this. are now getting back to the
land" and in the experience, no bet
ter place offers nor better opportunity
afforded, than that existing in Western
Canada. Many of them have taken
advantage OF It, and there are to be
found today. hundreds OF such, farm
ing in the Provinces OF Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta. The con-
ditions that surround farming opera
tons today are so much superior to
those In existence during their early
farming days, that there is an attrac-
ton about it. Improved machinery,
level and open plains, no rocks to
shun. no trees to cut down, but wide
stretches Win mlle-lonS luTTOWs, elo-
vators to handle the grain, railways to
carry 1t TO market, and bring almost
TO their doors the things necessary to
operate. Splendid grazing areas. ex
cellent opportunities for raising cattle
These things are all so different from
what they once were that there is rea
son to speak of the attractions. r. II
Crossman of Kindersley. Saskatche
wan, the man who won such splendid
prizes at the international Dry Farm

last fall, grew the prize grains during
his first year farming. Up to 1913 hi

Monday Evening, January 4.

You can stimulate interest in the
heather wonderfully by inviting them
TO come, with all their bag and bag.
gage, and pay your society a visit
Have booths in the room representing
the countries in which the church is
doing missionary work Let the at
PENDANTS, be costumed like the natives,
and all the appointments of the booths
suggest the life of the countries rep
resented. When curiosity is thus
piqued, information about these mis-
sion lands may be circulated by the
help of questions on cards to be passed
around. Write the questions in black
ink, and underneath, in red ink, the
answer to one of the other questions.
1t will require a pretty lively inter
change of cards for each one to find
the answer to his question.
The committee should try to make
this evening as attractive as possible,
and if it can be arranged all the mem
bers should appear in Chinese cos
tune. Ia the center of the church
room, fit up a booth, covered with a
large Chinese umbrella, and around Ii
place small tables on which to serve
refreshments. This can be made to
look like Chinese garden. Rice and
rats can be served as follows: Boil
rice until rather stiff and turn it into
cups to cool. After ready to serve
turn upside down in dishes and serve
each dish with candy rat on top The
rice should be served with cream and
sugar. Also have tea and waters. A
small fee can be charged for refresh
ments to go to missionary purposes
OF course no one but the committee
should know what the rice and rats
is to be, as it would spoil the fun. A
nice idea would be to give chopsticks
as souvenirs.

Products.

ALBANY. May 6.--State Commissioner
Of Efficiency and Economy Delaney wrote
a letter tonight to the State Hospital Com
mission protesting against the practice Of
buying ancient eggs and bad meat for the
institution. He told how his investigators
found that several carloads OF mouldy
meat and bad eggs. unfit for human con-
sumption. had been fed the inmates. The
findings of his investigators will be incor-
porated in a report to he published later.
Dirty kitchens and storerooms. the report
shows, are common in the state hospitals.
Refrigerating rooms generally are en-
crusted with dirt.
At the Utica state Hospital the bakery
was inspected by Federal officials. The
fat used In making the bread was 80
rancid that the inspectors ordered 1t de-
stroyed. The uncleanliness OF the bakery
was beyond belief. the inspectors said
Every object In the room needed cleaning
Discarded clothing was found lying about
on the floor. The ice box was dirty.
At the Utica state Hospital SOC
pounds OF pork cut from hogs slaughtered
at the Institution and seven mutton car
cases were found to be unfit to eat. Out
OF a consignment OF seventy-fve dozen
q eggs forty dozen were bad and tho
chefs testified that the practice had beer
to feed these to the patients.
Objects In the kitchen used to prepare
the food for the patients were found
blackened with accumulations OF grease
Crime covered everything. the report said
Large quantities of meat were ordered
destroyed. Picked beef was ordered
thrown out because 1t had become mouldy
At the Central 1slip state Hospital 9
whole consignment of eggs was thrown
out. The chef admitted that this was the
quality Of the eggs generally fed the pa
tients. The meat house also was found tC
be in "a terrible condition
Willard state Hospital was severely
criticised by the inspectors for the un
cleanliness of the kitchens. In the store
room $500 pounds Of pork was found te
be In bad condition.
Conditions In the Binghamton State
Hospital We're similar. and the storeroon
Of the Mohansic state Hospital was "found
TO be in "A condition bordering on saw
agery."
All the eggs stored away at the Roches
ter State Hospital were ordered destroyed
BY the inspectors.
The Federal inspectors said that the
State is defrauded ont Of large sums OF
money by the substitution of foodstuffs Of
poor quality for the best on the market
which the state pays for.
