10 Wash Windows Quickly

Take a large cloth, yard long, pat
it into a close swab like a sponge.
Wet soppy, but not dripping, with
water. Dent the center and pour in
kerosene and sop it into the face of
the cloth. With this swab quickly
wash the outside of the windows to
loosen all fly specks, dust, old paint
or alkaline deposit. Follow at once
with large, soft and dry cloth.
The first cloth leaves it smeary, but
the polishing will make it very clean
and shiny. This first swab will clean
large number of windows, simply
turning so as not to scratch the glass
with the dust on it. The polishers
need not be renewed until damp.
The windows become very brilliant
and clean and there is no freezing of
water, or wetting Of hands, as gloves
can be worn. Especially good in cold
or windy weather.
The same method can be used in
side. Pure kerosene can also be US
ed, but the above combination ap-
pears to more quickly soften the var
ieties of deposit

A BeIding Interview
Mr.. Neveril Tells His Experience

The following brief account Of an
interview with Bedding man over
three years ago, and its sequel, will
be read with keen interest by every
citizen:
Peter Neveril, 934 S. Pleasant St.,
Belding, says "The first symptoms
of kidney trouble in my case were
pains in my back and loins. Then,
the kidney secretions bothered me
and the kidney action was irregular
and annoying. Doan's Kidney Pills
helped me, however; the kidney Sc
cretions passed regularly and the
pains left me-"
Mr.. Neveril gave the above state
ment on January 27, 1913 and on
September 9, 1916, he added: "Since
giving my former statement recon-
mending Doan's Kidney Pills, l have
not had any return of kidney trouble.
l consider my cure permanent"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr. Neveril has twice publicly re-
commended. Foster Milburn Co.,

Breathe Hyomei
For That catarrh

By simply inhaling HYOMEI
through an inhaler, many have
promptly removed all distressing
symptoms of catarrh. The germs of
catarrh breed, thrive, and multiply
of the myriads, deep in the air pas
sages of the nose, throat and lungs
of the unfortunate victim. You can't
kill catarrrh germs with sprays, To-
tions and blood purifiers.
The indicated grem-destroying air
of Hyomei, breathed in your throat
and lungs, tends to promptly relieve
your catarrh. Hyomei is sold by
Wortley & French and other live
druggists with the understanding
that the purchase price will be re-
funded if you are not satisfied with
the treatment. Don't suffer from

Auto and Bicycle Collide

Hastings. - Henry Southard, q
young man who resides in the south
ern part of the city, sustained several
severe contusions on his scalp when
his bicycle collided with an automo-
bile at Green and Jefferson streets.
He was going southwark alongside
of the car, which turned out to pass
several vehicles on the wrong side OF
the street at the same instant that a
car crossed the street at the inter
section. In the confusion which fol-
lowed in avoiding a collision between
the cars, Mr.. Southland was thrown
from his wheel to the pavement with
such force that he became uncon-
scious. He was carried to Pennock
hospital, where Wr. Woodburne sew
ed up the wounds. Mr.. Southland was
able to go home on Sunday.

To Wash Blankets

housekeeping means many weary
ing tasks, but the worst of them all
is washing blankets. It takes a
goodly amount of money from the
housekeeper's allowance to send
these to the cleaners, especially
where there is large family. So
the woman who decides to 'do" her
own blankets should learn the very
easiest way to manage them.
Here is one system guaranteed by
an experienced housekeeper: Put a
half pint of ammonia into a tub and
stretch the blankets over it, not al
lowing them to slip down into the
fluid. This should then be covered
with lukewarm water. This process
allows the fumes of the ammonia to
rise through the blanket and loosens
the dirt. Good, vigorous squeezing
will do the rest. Rinse in a tub of
clear warm water and run lightly
through the wringer
Here is another and more compli-
Gated method, designed for use on
very soiled blankets: Air, beat and
brush the blankets out on the line
before washing, so that every pos
sibel piece of fluff and down is re
moved. Then shave a couple of bars
of good wool soap into a basin, add it
to a pan of boiling water and allow
it to "jell" for a few minutes. Now
have a tub or stationary washtub
half full of warm water with half
cupful Of ammonia in it. Mix the
soap in with this, then put in your
blankets. Stir them around with a
stick, but do not rub them-squeeze
and souse them up and down. When
the top of the water begins to be-
come scummed with dirt the water
should be like the first. The sousing
process must be repeated until all the
dirt is removed. Rinse in clear wa
ter. Then put them through the
wringer-the jaws of which should
be very wide apart or they will make
your blankets look stringy-and hang
out on the line.
Blankets should be hung length
wise on the line, using plenty of pins,
so that they have no chance to sag.
Shade is better than sun for drying
them. When they are quite dry 90
over them well with clean whisk
broom, brushing with the nap. This
makes them delightfully."- fluffy. Fold
away with camphor balls or in moth
proof bags.

Dies Alone i'm His Room

years a resident of West Sebewa,
was found dead Sunday morning in
his apartments in the Morse-Babcock
block, at Ionia, where he was janitor.
He was sitting in a chair and was
fully dressed with the exception of
his shoes. His body was in a slightly
bent position and looked as if he was
about to pick up his shoes, which sat
on the floor nearby. Death is sup
posed to have been caused by a hem

a weakened condition, owing to a
severe attack of pneumonia last win
ter. Mr.. Hosey's body was first
found by the milkman when he open
ed the door to his rooms to leave the

How to Utilize Castof Feather Bee
by Making Pillows of It.

by Making f1llOWS OF IL
A few women are fortunate in hav-
ing inherited a number of old bed
pillows and holsters, and there is
nothing like old-fashioned feathers
for dividing up into filling for sofa
pillows while they last. These feath-
ers can always be put together again
for bed use if needed, and meanwhile
they might just as well be used for
sofa pillows as to be laid away in
the storeroom.
However, not every one is so for
tunate as to have accumulated the
feathered bed coverings of her an
cestors, and then it is found that to
buy new feathers is expensive. The
cheaper pillows bought ready-made
are filled with cotton or with soft
clippings from linen and cotton rags,
and a good homemade filling for a
pillow may be made by cutting a
roll of cotton into small squares and
heating them in a pan in the oven
for half an hour, taking care not to
let the cotton scorch. Every square
will, according to best authority,
swell to twice its original size and
become as light and fuzzy for filing
as feathers.

Splendid Temperance Record

Splendid Temperance Record
The Sixty-Fourth Congress will
always be remembered with graft
tude by temperance people for its
splendid temperance record. Never
in the history of the American Con-
gress have so many temperance mea-
sures been passed at one session and
this despite the fact that great APP
preparation bills were pressing for
consideration. Our bills are prohi-
ton for Alaska and Porto Rico; the
bill for anti-liquor advertising, with
the "bone dry" act quickly following,
and finally the bill making the Dis
trick of Columbia dry after Novem-
Der /, 1917. This last bill was pass
ed by the House last week, by vote
of 273 to 1877, and signed by the
President on Sunday, March a. Sure
ly this is a magnificent record.
No Booze in Regiment Armories
"No booze today-or any other

Colonel Maurice Z. Finney of the
Eight pa regiment, not long since
returned from the border, relative to
the regiments armories and other
buildings in Harrisburg, Pottsville,
VI OdillSlt anu ObilCh PidNCos AhC
officers of the Eighth regiment have
placed a positive and bone-dry pro-
hibition upon the use of liquor in any
form in or about armories," said
Finney. "This not only applies to
the guardsmen themselves, but to all
others. Well be enlisting a lot of
new men shortly and we don't intend
subjecting them to criticism that
might arise form affiliating with an
organization that permitted booze in
its official home"
During the time that tht troops
were on the Mexican border other
commanders took similar action
against booze. And in the New York
National Guard alone not less than
eighteen thousand men were on the
water wagon for months due to the
no-drink regulations of Major Cen
eral Organ, commander of the
