WASHING FURNITURE.
Easy to Restore furnished Pieces to
Original Freshness.


Original Freshness.
Every few people know that furni-
ture ought to be washed" said a sales
man in the furniture section Of large
department store. yet" he contin-
ued, ut is the BEST thing one can do
to keep furniture looking as well as 1t
should.
zone should take a basin Of tepid
rainwater and make a suds with a
good pure SOAP Then with soft
piece Of cheesecloth all the woodwork
should be washed. 1t is astonishing
how much dirt will come of. A Sec
ond piece of cheesecloth should be
wrung dry out Of hot water. On this
should be poured a tablespoonful of
first class furniture polish. The heat
win spread the polish through the
cloth. Next the furniture should be
gone over with the second cloth.
There will be no need Of putting on
more polish, for that much will be all
one needs. Too many persons make
the mistake Of using too much polish
and leaving 1t thick on the furniture,
where it looks dauby and where 1t
gathers more dirt"
There Is furniture In homes today
that is cast of because Of its appear
ance when 1t might be brought back
to its original freshness by this simple
process Of washing. Many persons do
not know that a fine bit Of mahogany
Is improved by careful washing, and
hundreds of pianos have never been
more than busted in years. A square
Of cheesecloth for the washing and an
other for the polishing will do the
work, and the result will we'll repay
the effort.-Indianapoi News.

his discourse, and those who heard

manner in which he handled his sub

Boy Sprinkled With Bird Shot.

For several days reports have been
coming to the sheriff's office that de-
predations are being made nightly by
youths from the city who come out
by the automobile loads and invade
melon patches adjacent to the right
of way. The officers have waited for
them in several localities, but they
have always managed to evade them.
Friday night several took possession
of a big patch west of the city and
were having a gay old time when the
owner arose from his slumber, poked
the muzzle of a shot gun out of the
window and fired There was an i'm

however should prove a warning to
others; the present price of melons
does not warrant one in taking des-

Sam G. Wood has returned from a
visit to Waco and other points in
Texas. He went in his car and had
abundant opportunity to observe the

very light and much of it is already

cotton than the portion of Texas he

sease. Inlantile paralysis is far too
serious for delays or the taking OF
chances.
The School Problem.
As far as present conditions are
concerned Oklahoma parents need
feel no apprehension in sending their
children to school. There is not
single community in the entire state
where this would involve risk. Should
there arise any emergency the state
health board and the local authorities
will without delay take such action
as may be necessary for the protec-
ton of the school children.
No parent need feel any fear that
he is exposing his child to unknown
dangers. The policy of the state
board of health has been and will be
one of full and prompt publicity in
regard TO the actual facts. EXag-
gerated rumors and unfounded stories
are discouraged, but no effort will be
made to conceal from the public ac-
tual conditions. Where there is any
danger it will probably be made
known. No parent will have any
cause to suspect that his child will
be submitted to any risk because of
a policy of concealment. The public
will be kept informed of the real
situation. not only in given com
munities. but throughout the entire
state.

How Disease is Spread.
Despite careful investigation by
many experts there are number Of
problems connected with infantile
paralysis which factor in the spread
Of infantile paralysis is the presence
of minute organisms in the secre-
tions Of the nose and throat. These
are the paths of injection both for
body and for its disbursement into
the air. Direct contact thus becomes
the greatest factor in its transmits
sion from person to person. These
were reached after eX-
tended experiments in the incubation
of monkeys with the virus of the di-
sease. As natural infection this di
sease seems to be peculiar to man.
Since the disease attNcks by prefer
nnce young children and infants
whose nasal and mouth secretions
are wiped away by mothers or nurses,
1t is plain that these persons should
use the greatest precautions not to
become carriers of infection. The
most scrupulous cleanliness should
be observed and any linen or other
articles liable to Injection should be
followed There should be no delay
in summoning a physician when there
is the lightest suspicion Of the di-
