we shall hold sacred because of the
splendid reputation for truth and

his tail in his mouth and rolled like

Stains on Linen.

Stains on the table linen in the
berry season are among the sum-
mer trials of the housekeeper. OF
course the careful housewife looks
out for this and puts away her best
table linen, but even the second
best looks much dotted with brown
stains and destroys the dainty ap-
pearance of the summer table. One
has to be very alert to catch spot
ted places before they reach the
laundry. for the moment soap and
water touch them the damage is
done.
1.-THE spotted portion of the linen
is laid over a bowl and boiling
water poured through it, this will
remove the more innocent stains;
but for the dark berry. and those
which do not respond to the boiling
water, stretch the linen, light sui
phur matches beneath it and let
the smoke pass through the stain.
The sulphur fumes will remove it.
Of course this must be carefully
done, so as not to set the linen
afire.
An especially good way of re-
moving peach stains is to put
tablespoonful of -four of sulphur
on an old plate. wet it with a few
drops of alcohol, ignite it and
place tin funnel over the burning
heap. Have the spot in the linen
wet with cold water, then hold over
and the spot will disappear at
once.
Grass stains on the children's
clothing and mildew on linen which
is carelessly thrown when still
damp into the hamper are almost
as trying to the housewife as are
the berry stains; but the grass stain
maybe removed by wetting the
green spots in common molasses
and then putting them in the sun.
Repeat this until the spots are
gone. The articles may then be
washed. For the mildew rub the
spots with yellow soap and powder
ed chalk; when it is dried, scrape il
off and continue the applications
until the spots are removed.-St
Louis Star.
Suggestions on Seed Corn Selection.
Because of unusual conditions
this year, many farmers will fluid
it desirable to practice early fielC
selection of seed corn.
Seed corn may be safely selected
in the stiff dough stage; if properly
cured. The vitality of corn select
ed earlier than this is likely to b.
uncertain.
Early picked seed corn must be
gin drying rapidly at the earlies
possible moment. If left lying In
pile for much as a few hours tn
growth of mold is likely to start.
In drying immature corn. it
, important to keep the ears iron
close contact.
+ While drying. rain-proof building
o which provide free circulation G
: air and a temperature above freez
ing are highly desirable
Well-preserved seed corn a yea
old is very satisfactory.-Depart

Work is a Good Thing.
Work is a great blessing. You

you cannot get power to do things

successful men you know. Get his

compelled to work in boyhood. They
toughened their muscles by hare
work and sharpened their brains by
looking out for themselves.-Wortf

THE YELLOW METAL.

After all, it locks like gold is the
real communicative chief of the
belligerent armies and the director
of the destinies of the fighting ma
tions. Press dispatches indicate
that the persistent peace talk is
due to the fact that several of the
warning countries are reaching the
limit of their finances and that
when war loans can no longer be
easily floated the titanic struggle
will come to an end. Apparently
the good mothers can raise enough
boys to replenish the decimated
ranks and furnish food for the big
guns, but without ample financial
resources the war cannot continue
much longer.

HOW HE QUALIFIED.

Mrs. Elisa Piluso, a professional
swindler, hit Little Rock several
months ago, and with the aid of a
masculine confederate flim-flammed
a citizen of Little Rock out of ST.
600 by substituting a grip full OF
Irish potatoes for good American
money. The bunco artists were la
ter captured, returned to Arkan-
sas and when confronted with con-
victing evidence, entered pleas of
guilty. The man was given a SEN
tence of four years in the peniten-
tiary and Mrs Piluso got three
years. A few days ago Gov. Hays
pardoned the woman on condition
she leave the state. 1t is under
stood there is a story behind the
pardon in which a we'll known par
don broker of Little Rock figured
prominently, and additional infor-
nation has leaked out that the par
don broker is being seriously con-
sidered for appointment to a high
state office.

THE FIT. SMITH WAY,

Recently Hot Springs sent del
egation of public spirited citizens
to Fort Smith to get some first
hand ideas about city building, and
the published report of their in
vestigation of the commission form
provement districts under which
Fort Smith has laid more miles of
paved streets and sewers than any
other city in the state shows con-
clusively that the border city is
setting an example for all the mu-
inequalities of the southwest. The
people have found that investments
in high class public utilities,
schools, paved streets, modern sew
turns, and as a result Fort Smith
is attracting capital from the north
and east. 1t is the largest manu-
featuring center in the southwest
and the products of Fort Smith
plants are to be found all over the
south. The saloons and dives that
have existed in the city for more
than half a century have been
wiped out of existence and the Hot
Springs investigators are authority
for the staten ent that the officials
are rigidly enforcing the laws and
are giving the taxpayers an admin
istration of honesty and efficiency
not equaled in any other city in the
state.
