TO REMOVE FRUIT STAINS.

In the Exchange" department Of
the July Woman's Home Companion
a department devoted to household
suggestions made by contributors out
of their practical exDerience-appear
the following suggestions as to the
best ways Of removing fruit stains.
The first Is, contributed by a New
York woman and the second by an
Iowa woman:
"Whenever I find a fruit stain on
table cloths or napkins, ! wet 1t with
a little camphor. IT this is done be-
fore the stain has been wet with wa
ter, the stain will entirely disappear
when the articles are laundered."
ITO remove fruit stains from table
linen easily and surely, simply moist
en- the stain with pure glycerin be-
fore sending clothes to the laundry.
Twenty-Five cents worth OF glycerin
will probably last the ordinary family
4 year or more, at least"

HOLIDAY BUYERS
 PACK OUR STORES
Streets Thronged Yesterday With People Doing Christ
 mas Shopping.

Crowds. crowds and more crowds fill ed Pine Bluff stores and streets yes terday. from early morning until late at night, and when the stores closed proprietors felt more optimistic than they have been for some weeks past.
 Even better than Saturday was yes terday, as a shopping day, and not for months have the local stores done such a business. Clerks, and even the bosses, were kept busy serving the thousands who came to make pur- chases and things were humming throughout the hours the stores were open.
 At some of the stores, it was difficult to get served, and customers had to wait their turn, although all the stores had on extra forces of help. And 1t was willing help, the girls and men alike striving to the utmost to serve everybody as rapidly and in as satis- factory manner as possible. But it was a big job, and job everybody was glad to have over, when closing time came.
 Hundreds of country folks were in town yesterday, and the depot was as busy Ia place as any store in town The vast assortment of packages and bundles, grown folks and children gathered there after the days shop

LOCAL ST. N|CKS
 VERY, VERY BUSY
This Proved by Wells Fargo & Company Handling 1,2C0
 Packages Yesterday.

Shipping of Christmas packages started up at a rapid rate) with the Wells Fargo & company express yes tcrday morning. and when the office c,osed for the day last evening, il way found that more than 1,2O0 way blils had been issued, covering ap- proximately 1,500 packages, and meaning war revenue to Uncle Sam O: something like SIP.
 All way bills must, bear l-cent War tax stamp, and the shipper pays tic freight, hence Pine Bluff people y,sterday, when they sent off their Christmas packages, clipped in their !i tie quota to support the natlonal government.
 The express clerks were kept on the iump throughout the day yester- day. and were convinced last night mat tie holiday rush has started So far there has been no great volume oe Christmas stuff received for local folks. but this movement into the cliy is expected to begin to deVelop ibis afternoon and tonight.
 Locally, the express company mas ar1 anged to take care of the rush ana every effort will be made to deliver each package the day it is recelVed' a., thound matter will be rushed on t,a first train, and it is the aim o' the company officials here to keep up ith the business right along' uhat II, ere he no congestion and that ho n:,ckages be delayed.

ping made it plain to everybody that the people of the rural portions of the county and of neighboring counties are not nearly so broke" as calamity howlers would make believe.
 "You can't make me believe busi- ness is dull," said one man who stood at Main and Second streets yesterday afternoon and watched the crowds surge by "Those women are carrying too ntany bundles for that. Maybe ev- erybody hasn't some money, but my personal observation leads me to the belief that mighty eanr everybody has,"
 It was a beautiful day, clear and bright and not too warm nor too cold. Women could bring the children down with them, and could let the little folks see what was going on. The children appeared to have as much fun as did their elders, and all in all it appeared to be great day all around, for the shoppers and the shopkeepers. Everybody was in the best of humor, also, which, perhaps. made it the perfect day.
 Store keepers are. of the belief that today, tomorrow and Thursday will see just about as many people on the streets and in the stores, because of the small amount of shopipng that has been done prior to this time. The bad weather the past couple of weeks has prevented much trading, and now that fine weather is at hand the mer- chants figure the trade will pick up all it has lost earlier in the season.
