Soap and Water
Rot Your Rugs

II you have valuable rugs or carpets
do not make the mistake of scrubbine
them with soap and water. The water
soaks in and ruins the backing, and
the rug or carpet warps and rumples
as result. Beating rugs has the same
effect, but is not so Injurious, for
while it breaks the backing 1t does
not rot the warp.
Experts whose sole work is the care
of expensive rugs use olsonite to keep
the colors to their original beauty and
brightness, and at the same time re-
places the natural Oil in the fibres so
that the life of the rug is heightened.
Olsonite is very easy to USE Just
brush over the surface OF the rug and
wipe off, and you will be astonished
that so little labor produces such
splendid results
You can buy olsonite from any first
class druggist. 1t comes in an alright
container at soc, enough to restore the
colors in the carpets and rugs of two
rooms OF ordinary size-Adv.

BEATING a TELEPHONE PEST
"A Country Club Woman Saves Time
and Friend Too

There is a little woman out in tn
country club district who has nc
quired quite a reputation for her prac

social problems. She is not the kinC
that leaves it all to the maids or to tn,
social secretary. She believes in look
ing after things herself, and has a lit.
tie home efficiency schedule that sb,
| scrupulously follows every day and
she doesn't like to have il interfered
| with.
| She has a friend who. when she gets
lonesome or feels the imperative i'm
pulte TO gossip, is in the habit OF
| calling her up over the telephone and
| holding her with long chatty mono
Iogue, which. while it might have
| Contained some items Of interest at
first. began finally not only to inter
fere with her daily efficiency pro-
gram, but also TO get seriously upon
her nerves
Now. this friend was very dear
one and she did not want to offend
her, the practical little woman was
sorely troubled for quito a while to
scheme a way-an efficient way-to
escape that daily telephone sacrifice
OF her time and patience without
hurting her friends feelings.
Chance showed her the way, as she
explained, in strict confidence. to an
ether dear friend the other day.
DO you know,i never did have
anything that worried me So" she
said. 'and l was almost at the point
telling her TO curtail her converse ton
