effective speakers in the Episcopal
church. Bishop Keator was rector
of st. Johns church, Dubuque, when
called to the episcopate fifteen years
ago. He was succeeded by the Rev.
Mr.. Sage, now rector of St Johns.
His diocese includes the western part
of Washington, the bishop living at
Tacoma, and has had a large growth
since Bishop Keator took charge. 1t
is said he is the most eminent and
most beloved citizen of Tacoma and
Seattle. His popularity is due to his
remarkable power of public address,
his genial disposition and his power
of making and keeping friends. Keo-
kuk is the only city in Iowa to have
visit from one of the bishops now
meeting in st. Louis.

Household Hints

To wash brushes and combs put a
teaspoonful of ammonia in a basin Of
hot water and dip the brush up and
down in it, letting the comb remain in
the water for a few minutes. In this
way all the grease will disappear, and
after rinsing in cold water both brush
and comb will be perfectly clean.
When tag comes off boot or shoe
lace, press little melted black sealing
wax around the end of the lace and
shape it to form tag. it will answer
almost as we'll as the original.
To renovate a shabby serge skirt,
sponge it over with hot vinegar until
the stains and grease marks disappear;
then thoroughly press on the wrong
side with fairly hot iron.
Mildew on leather may be removed
with little pure yaseline. Rub this
into the leather till quite absorbed, and
then carefully polish with a clean cha.
mois leather.

gallons. This is deadly poison. Use
with great care. 1t must also be kept
in wood, porcelain, or glass vessels, as
it attacks metal. II is more effective
than formaldehyde, particularly against
Rhizoctonia and powdery scab. Do not
use the same solution more than three
times, as the strength diminishes with
each lot of potatoes soaked.
To treat large quantities, set several
barrels on slightly elevated platform.
Fit plug in hole in the bottom of
each brrrel, fill with potatoes, cover
with solution, let stand two hours,
draw off solution, and pour into an
other barrel. Increase the number of
barrels in proportion to the quantity to
be treated. Another method is to use
large wooden vat or trough into which
the potatoes in sacks are lowered by
rope and pulley and later hauled out,
drained, and dried on Slated racks.
Seed potatoes may be treated several
weeks before planting, provided they
are not reinfected by storing in old
containers or storage bins.
Sprouted potatoes are injured by
treatment but will throw out new
sprouts. In general, however, pota-
toes will not be injured by the above
directions. Many growers believe
termination is improved by treatment.

corner Third and Garfield Streets, was
badly scorched in fire Saturday even
ing about 900 o'clock No one was at
home at the time as Mrs. LaLonde was
spending the week with her parents.
The fire evidently got under the build

up through the sidings before it was
discovered and an alarm turned in. Our
fire department experienced consider
able difficulty in subduing the blaze
owing to its being between the walls.

know because none other than she can
understand.
