TABLE LINEN REQUIRES CARE
Must Not Be Laundered in the Usual
Ways, IL Best Results Are
to BE Obtained.

Good table linen, in the first place,
means much. But care of the same
linen means more.
Strong bieaches must never he used
on fine table linen. Of course, table lin.
en- is often badly spotted and needs to
be cleansed in some way. But boiling
water removes coffee spots, cold water
removes cocoa spots. and sunshine re.
moves many stains. When stronger
acids must be used, they should be ap
piled and removed by intelligent hands
They should be allowed to remain on
the spot just long enough to eradicate
them, and then rinsed thoroughly out
with clear water. For If they remain
on too long they remove not only spots
hut pieces of linen.
Some old-fashiOned housewives oc
casionally have their table linen dipped
in buttermilk to whiten it. The linen is
allowed to remain in the buttermilk fol-
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 q
little bleaching green Of grass, pro-
tected from the inroads of cats and
dogs.

WHY THEY FOUND A VERDICT
eailiff's Message Evidently Impressed
the Jury, Though It Somewhat
Disconnected Judge Blair.

A story told by Judge Alonzo Blair
Of Shelbyville explains how a court
bailiff caused an early verdict in a
complicated case because the bailiff
misunderstood the judges converse
ton. The jury in damage suit had
long been out, according to Judge
Blair, when it requested the bailiff
to ask the judge whether the latter
had to stay up at night as long as the
Jurors did, to receive the verdict.
II told the bailiff,' said Judge Blair.
"that though l could retire whenever
1 pleased. had no intention of retir-
ing early, but as was tired of waiting
would then go to supper. had scarce
ly put on my coat and hat and got
outside the courthouse when the baflif
raised window and shouted to me,
oh, Judge, come back-they've got
one! Mystified returned, and, sure
enough, the jury had agreed upon a
verdict, which received and then dis
missed the jurors. But was suspi-
ciOus and as I was again about to
leave, I said to the bailiff, John,
what did you say to those jurors when
sou went back the last time?'
"'why, Judge, just told Them said
tho truthful John, that no, you didn't
have to stay up as long as they did,
but you was gettin' tired of all this

sroRk VISITS COST MORE
srltish War Baby Adds 500 to Par.
ents' Expenses Above the Figures
Of 1914.

London.-It is estimated that the
all-around expenditure on baby born
this year is probably from 500 to $125
higher than in 1914.
Food alone adds about SIS to the
years cost of the war baby. Milk has
gone up four cents quart and 1t is
said that the average baby consumes
from 400 to $50 pints year. Baby
foods are up about 10 per cent. Feed
ing bottles cost a third more, and the
methylated spirit for heating the
nights feed has advanced from 10
cents to 25 cents a pint.
Baby garments cost more also.
Everything made Of wool has risen SO
per cent in price; all the cotton and
wool mixture materials and garments
are Is per cent higher, the wholly cot
ton ones, owing to the rise In raw
materials and labor, must be paid for
at the rate of about IS per cent more.
Nearly all medicines cost much more.

He Wa, Game.

King Canute the Great ordered his
throne to be carried down to the sea-
shore.
Then he sat on the throne, stretched
out his sceptcr and commanded the
waves to go back.
But they didn't go back.
They came right on and swamped the
throne, compelling the king to wade
to shore or be drowned.
"Oh, WE'LL" said Canute as he dried
his coronation robes before the kitchen
fire. l didn't really think they would
go back, but I'm willing to try any,
thing once"

preferred to go barefoot.
Adopt Plated Kilt.
"By the time of the Middle Kingdom
ordinary individuals had adopted the
plated kilt, which for time, at least
in the Old Kingdom, had been the pc
culiar property of the king; however,
it is doubtful If the people ever wore
it Of gold. On a wooden statuette OF
Seostris I, in the Eighth Egyptian
room, this kilt is represented as plated
all around, the two ends curving sym
metrically in front up to the girdle.
The king also wears the red crown
symbolic Of lower Egypt, while the
mate to this statuette, which is now in
the Cairo museum. wears the white
crown of Upper Egypt.
"Other statuettes, in the Sixth
Egyptian room, show what variety Of
skirts existed at the time. The old
forms continued, although there was a
tendency toward a narrower, longer
skirt. The triangular projection, SO
fashionable in the first dynasty, be-
came subdued until 1t was quite mod
est. The long skirt which has been
described as typical Of this time often
had high waistline. It was at this
time that clothing for the upper part
of the body first appeared, and curl
GUS cape was sometimes pinned around
the shoulders. A heavy cloak or shawl,
probably Of wool, worn in the Old
Kingdom as an outer garment by both
men and women, now became common.
changes in the costumes Of wom-
en- from the old to the Middle Kingdom
were slight, but there were few in
novations that showed the tendency
toward elaboration. A plain white
tunic was sometimes covered with a
network Of brightly colored beads in
diamond pattern with bead fringe at
the bottom. A similar dress, excep-
tionally gay in color, dates from the
sixth dynasty. One statuette from
Assiut shows white tunic with wide
border on the bottom representing
birds wings or leaf pattern, the lat
ter more likely, since it is painted In
green"

Washing Knives.

Table knives are not always well
treated at the hands of the dishwasl1-
or. One special point about washing
them is to keep the handles out Of the
water or they will become loOsened
from the blades. Wipe the soiled
knives clean on a damp cloth, after
wiping them on paper, then stand them
with the blades downward in jug Of
hot water in which little baking soda
has been dissolved.

Wounded otter Bit Him.

Petersburg, Ind.-Homer Hays, aged
eighteen, was hunting frogs with q
small rifle along White river, near
the island two miles east Of here,
when he saw an otter lying on the
river bank. He shot at 1t and the bullet
hit it in the mouth. This SO enraged
the animal that it jumped at him and
caught one of his hands, preventing
him from shooting a second time. he
finally shook the animal loose, and II
rolled down the river bank into the
water and Owed out Of sight.

GETS BILL THROUGH FOR
 MINING ON RESERVATIONS

WASHINGTON. Sept 5.-By re- maining here. Congressman Carl Hay den today succeeded in passing through the house his bill authoriz- ing the mining for metalIiferous min erals on Indian reservations.
 The bill provides for leasing un- allotted Indian lands for thirty years with preferential right to renew leas- es for successive periods of ten years at royalty of not less than five per cent.
 Leases cannot be revoked except by proceedings in the United States courts, and nearly twenty million acres of reserved lands will be open to prospecting when the Hayden bill becomes law. The bill goes to the senate.
