DRAIN WAS DUG
NUISANCE ENDS
100 YARDS OF DITCH At END OF
SEWER DRAINAGE ABATES
NUISANCE.

One hundred yards of ditch now being
dug AT the end of the storm sewer dram
will abate the evil. odor in the eastern ont
skirts of the city, says DIR. T.. :. Mccain,
who since DR.. A. l.. Lincecum's return to
Galveston l. directing the work Of clean
ing up the city. The drainage ditch for
the storm sewers formerly emptied INTO u
blind pocket not far from the sewage dis
posal plant. BY digging 100 yards of
ditch, using a crew Of twelve men for the
purpose, the health officers have sent the
drainage from the cutters into a resaca,
after leading the flow through a culvert
under the belt line railroad. The outlet
ditch was completed today.
Sewage AT the disposal plant does not
cause the evil odor complained Of, DR..
Mccain states. One can approach the dis
posal plant without detecting the f~aintest
Whit of malodor until the pump room j.
reached, where a slight odor j. apparent.
Now that the storm sewer drain j. flowing.
the odor, which proceeded from water IN
the blind drain, should disappear.
Addressing the city council last Monday.
DIR. Mccain remarked that the opening Of
this drain j. worth to the city more than
the entire cost Of the cleanup.

WATCH YOUR TABLE LINEN
u its Freshness Is 10 Be Retained
Proper Care VIII Be Found
imperative.

Good table linen. in the first place.
means much. But care of the same
linen means more. Especially in the
laundry must your table linen be prop
erly handled if you would have it
retain its freshness.
Strong beaches must never be used
on fine table linen. OF course. table
linen is often badly spotted and needs
TO be cleaned in some way. But boil
ing water removes coffee spots, cold
water removes cocoa spots, and SIM
shine removes many stains. When
stronger agents must be used, they
should be applied and removed by in
telligent hands.
They should be allowed to remain
on the spots just long enough to eradi-
cate them. ard then rinsed thoroughly
out with clear water. For if they re-
main on too long they remove not only
spots, but pieces of linen.
Some old-fashioned housewiv IS occa-
sionally have their table linen Dipped
in buttermilk to whiten it. The linen
is allowed to remain in the buttermilk
for day or two, If necessary, and is
then thoroughly rinsed in cool, clear
water, later in warmer water.
For fruit stains. pour boiling water
through them while the stains are
damp. if possible. If they dry on, rub
them with lard and put through the
usual washing process.
Always dry table linen out-of-doors,
in the sunshine. If possible, have
little bleaching green.
Table linen must be quite damp
when it is ironed, and it must be
ironed until it is perfectly dry. Nap
kins shout be ironed On both sides.
and a tablecloth should be ironed in
the same way, to give it the best finish
and appearance.

utah Furnisnns Exnc maternal.

The state OF Utah has MADE another
record, of which it is very pro I'd. II
seems that all the gypsum USED in the
construction of the San Diego fair
buildings and 80 per cent of that used
for the San Francisco fair came from
the quarries near Nephi. Utah. II is
now well known that gypsum is one Of
the oldest building materials. 1t was
used extensively in the building of
the pyramids and very largely in the
construction of the monumental archi-
tectural editices reared by the Greeks
and the Romans.
The product of gypsum used in the
fair buildings is known as STAFF and
was cast to initiate the famous Roman
travertine. OF it's beauty a thousand
writer's have written. Utah is proud
that it furnished the material for the
exposition structures and proud that
1t could have furnished the material
for the wonders of the ancients.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Small Things, But Well Worth Keep
ing in Memory or in Con-
venient Book.

Dark calicoes should be ironed on
the wrong side with irons that are not
too hot The raveled threads from old
linen will be found best for darning
tablecloths or napkins.
To remove automobile grease or any
dark, heavy grease from washable fab
ric. rub on a small piece of butter and
rub in well, then wash with soap and
rinse and the oil and grease will have
disappeared.
The turkey need not be sewed after
the dressing has beer put in. Insert
toothpicks on either side and string
back and forth over the picks. This
is 2 silly removed after the bird is

knowledge, since -four is always with

ing of kerosene.

RIackenlna Of silver.

The housewife who knows that egg
darkens silver is often at loss to ac-
count for the stains that occur when
she has not used egg. The sulphur
which causes the blackening of silver
is abundant in other substances be-
sides eggs, particularly in cabbage,
rubber or all kinds, hair, leather and
white paper. Rubber gloves, elastic
bands and the mats commonly used in
sinks often darken silver. Silver
should be placed in drawers or cases
lined with colored paper, cloth or vel
vet, as the white materials have COM
monty been bleached with sulphur

When cunrua Had a Room.

For quarter-century Cyprus has al.
most vanished from view. But it had
a tremendous vogue in the days when
Lord Beaconsfield brought Peace
with honor" from the Berlin congress
of 1873. For shortly afterwards came
the news that Cyprus, commanding
the eastern Mediterranean and the
Suez route to India, had become a
British protectorate; and the nation
went dizzy" with delight at the pyro-
technic policy of our imaginative pre-

terprising young men to the island for
a year or so. But its coast could not
provide harbors to supersede Malta.
