Moro About yandenoeyer,s Snake

Erik Hustad read with interest Pet
err Vandenoever's snake story in the
Independent. He says the snake,
which is an immense Prairie Bull
snake, was captured by his son on the
banks of the Missouri near Sanish and
brot to the Gunderson farm southwest
Of Minot from which it escaped. This
explains why snake of this unusual
size was found in this vicinity.

To wash blankets

Two tablespoonfuls of Lux to every gallon
of water will give you a tubful of the richest
lather, enough for pair of large blankets. Then
rinse twice in clear water hot as the water in
which you washed the blankets, with little
Lux dissolved in third hot rinsing.
Don't twist the blankets-just pass them
through loose wringer, then hang to dry in
the shade. You'll never believe until you try
it yourself that blankets could remain so soft
and heecy, so clean and new.
After that, you'll hardly wait to drop your
most expensive sweater into the Lux suds, your
sport stockings caps-anything that's wooden.
Lux will always be wonder to you. You will
always take fresh pleasure in the newness of
the things you wash in Lux. (Wash coIored
woolens in Iukewarnl suds and do NOT soak.)

To wash baby's wooIens

Mix very hot suds 1.-TWO tablespoonfuls of
Lux to the gallon). drop the hannels in, and
let them soak till the water is cool enough for
your hands to bear. Then swish the hannels up
and down in the suds, till the dirt has been car
ried out of them into the suds. Rinse twice with
clear water just as hot as the first water.
Then a third rinsing of hot water in which you
have dissolved a little Lux. This leaves them
wonderfully soft and woolly.) No twisting.
Just squeeze the water gently out Of the fan
nels, then hang them TO dry in the shade.
Wash colored woolens in Iukewarn suds
and do nor soak
You will bless Lux. You will always remem-
Der your delight with those first little fannels
and bootees that came so soft and new from
their Lux tubing.
Evening journal., 1918-05-22
To wash Iaces

Whisk tablespoonful of Lux into thick
iather in very hot water. Put the lace in and
let it stand in the suds. Do not rub. Squeeze
gently and dip up and down, unless very
tender, in which case simply let stand in the
suds. Rinse three times in water the Same
temperature as the water in which you washed
it. Do not starch.
If the lace is very frail, before washing, 10
should be basted on piece of shrunken cheese
cloth which may be pulled taut and pinned
for drying Otherwise it should be carefully
pulled, every point pinned into shape and
left until dry. This leaves the lace fat and
makes ironing unnecessary.
Be sure to get your package of Lux todav.
Your grocer, druggist or department stors
has it. Lever Bros. Co., Cambridge, Mass.

be gently pulled into shape as they dry and
also should be shaped as they are ironed.

Whisk a Tablespoonful of Lux into a thick
iather in half basinful of very hot water.
Add cold water to make suds lukewarm Dip

times. Squeeze the suds through it do not rub.

"Bruues la Morte."

In lost corner Of the great low
land fiat of Flanders; defended from
the sea by an artificial dixie, and at the
point Of intersection of network or
canals and waterways, there stands a.
little town known to the Belgians as
Brugge and to the rest of the world as
Bruges, writes Niksah.
Fortunately for lovers of the quaint
and picturesque, this city with it's slen-
der bell turrets, it's lacelike gables an0
decorated house fronts has so far been
spared the general devastation that fol-
lowed in the wake of the invading Ger
mans. They call it ''Bruges la morte"
and at every turn there is something to-
remind the visitor of the decay that
has fallen upon the town. The ever
recurring view of pictureSquely
grouped tower, gable and bridge, of
wide tree-filled parks, breathes an at
mosphere of infinite stiffness and
charm, which is at the same time
strangely pathetic.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition OF the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to It's nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh. which is an infiamed
condition Of the Mucous Surfaces.
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for any
case Of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by HALLS CATARRH
MEDICINE.
