seorch Marks.

II not too severe scorch marks are
most effectually remedied by soaking
the part in cold water and exposing
to the rays of the sun, molstening
afresh as it dries, until the blemish
disappears.
To remove scorch from linen, put
two ounces Of fuller's earth into a
saucepan, add half an ounce of white
soap, the juice Of two large onions
and one cupful Of vinegar Boil to-
gether for few minutes, strain into
jar, and keep covered for future
use. Spread ON the scorched parts
with a knife, and allow it to dry on.
The stain win soon disappear. If the
garment is scorched with ironing, rub
a lump Of dry starch on the mark
Then sponge it OFF. Repeat till the
yellow disappears.
lron-MoId and Dry-lnk Stains.
Iron-mold and dry-ink stains may be
removed by placing the stained mate
rial in hot solution Of salts of sorrel
or salts Of lemon, and leaving it to steep
until they disappear; or by placing the
stained part oyer a basin and pouring
boiling water through to moisten the
stain, which enables the chemical ac-
ton to take place more rapidly. Then
a small quantity of salts of lemon or
salts 81 sorrel should be placed on the
stain and rubbed firmly in, and boiling
water again poured through. If the
first application does not remove it,
the process must be repeated. If the
iron mold is due to old iron rust, Meth
er of the aforementioned chemicals
may remove it successfully. A pinch

State Legislatures commenced to
pass laws in an effort to limit the
traffic. The Illinois Legislature en-
acted local option" law.
The first large temperance society
was founded in Washington in 1910.
Many others soon sprang into being.
Next a sign-the-pledge" wave
struck the country. This movement
was given it's impetus by churches in
America and Great Britain.
BY this time the liquor question had
become a great national issue in poll
tics. Maine took revolutionary step
when it adopted Statewide prohibi-
ton in 1916. Other States swung in
to line.
But Y years elapsed from the time
the first State voted liquor outside
its borders before national prohibition
was ratified by Sc States.

claims that baths are unhealthfuI;
that they destroy beauty and shorten

a. proof of his theory, DR. Page
declares that many women of the
fashionable Back Bay section have
not disported themselves in a bath
for at least 10 years, and that as a
result they are beautiful and healthy.
Dr- Page advises against baths ar
all; it is bad to wash the neck, he
says or to wear underclothing of any
description. He also contends that
human beings were not meant to eat
meats
As for eggs, DR.. Page declared they
were made for the private use Of the
chicken tribe, and that unless one

''If you want I'd live To d. lis, don't
