1.-THE first time 1 have worn it and
look at that spot"
Every one Is familiar with that re-
mark, made in an anguished tone of
voice. The tragedy of spelling a new
garment, however, Is eliminated If the
unfortunate one knows just what
to apply for that particular kind of
stain.
The removal of stains is a necessary
feature of the laundering and general
care of clothing and other household
textiles. Nearly all stains may be re-
moved easily at home If reliable
methods are known.
One of the most important factors
is to apply the stain remover. while
the stain Is still fresh. Drying. eX-
poSure to air, washing and ironing,
all make it harder to remove the
stain. The nature of the stain should
be known if possible before its re-
mOval Is attempted, since this de-
termines the treatment to be adopted.
An unsuitable stain remover may
"set" the stain so it's removal be-
comes difficult or even impossible.
Treatment Depends on Fabric.
The kind of fabric on which the
stain occurs also should be known, for
the method of treatment depends
much on the nature. color. weave, fin
ish and weight of the fabric. Do not
use strong acids on cotton, and even
diluted ones should be neutralized aft
erwards with a suitable alkali. Care
also should be taken in the use of the
alkali, as it weakens the fabric.
After any reagent rinse the fabric
well. Do not use very hot water on
wool or silk. Rubbing also must be
avoided with these fabrics. Both wool
and silk are dissolved by strong al
kalis; borax or a weak solution of
ammonia is more suitable. Acids,
with the exception of nitric. do not at
tack silk and wool readily.
With colOred materials avoid use of
bleaching agent which will destroy
the color of the material. Because Of
this 1t is much more difficult to re-
move stains from cOlOred material
than from white.

Blood and Meat Juiee.-Use cold wa

YOSEMITE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.

THIS beautiful valley-now a part Of
1 Yosemite National park, by the
way-is one of natures most wonder
full works of art. The valley is only
eight miles long and less than two
miles wide. The park embraces a do
main about 36 by 4S miles. Here the
supreme artist has chiseled and etched
and painted an outdoor gallery of mas
terpieces unlike any other in the world
The Indians termed the place the
Heart Of the Sky Mountains and called
it "The Vale of the Advance" and
themselves Ahwaneeches, or "Children
of Light"
The excelling features of the Yo-
semitic are its waterfalls and sheer
bold cliffs. Snow-waters from high
mountains have found wonderful
variety and beauty of courses down
the mountain walls to the Merced river
in the valley below. These peculiar
peaks strikingly resemble huge domes
and range In height all the way from
1900 to 6,OOO feet. The falls which
descend their rugged sides range in
height from $50 feet-Vernal falls
which Is only 35 feet wide at the top
to beautiful Yosemite falls. which. in
three leaps, plunges half mile and is
said to be the highest waterfall in the

In examining a tract Of land for al

with soil auger to determine the

instrument usually will be of greater

Temperature Extremes.
The hog grower in many of the lead

temperature extremes during the year.
During the winter, unless he provides
comfortable houses and warm quarters,
his hogs are likely to suffer from the
cold, while in the summer season he
must handle the animals under condi-
tions of extreme heat. Any animal as
fat as the average hog which is to be
marketed In the late summer or early
fall suffers greatly during hot weather,
and unfortunately many hog farmers

APPLY MANURE IN ORCHARDS
Failure Of Many Trees to Produce
Fruit Is Due to Lack Of Necessary
"' Plant Food.

Undoubtedly the failure, or partial
failure, of many fruit trees to bring
forth a crop is due to lack of plant
food. Professional orchardists look
after this matter, but the average
farmer who has few trees, which he
dignifies by the name Of "orchard,"
gives scant heed to providing them
with fertility. He may turn the sheep
or the calves in among them but such
fertility as they add is apt to be Of
slight value, comparatively speaking.

In order to obtain pure sorghum
seed it is usually necessary to go over
the field carefully after it has headed
out and remove the rogues or off-type
plants. Every plant which does not
conform to the type which is desired
should be cut down. or. better, pulled
up so that there will be no danger Of

FULL-CROP YIELD OBTAINED
Sufficient Fertilization, Pure Seed and
Careful Cultivation Are Of
Importance.

There are three agents that are
sometimes neglected, but through
which the full-crop yield can be OBJ
tanned. They are, sufficient fertiliza-
ton, pure seed and careful cultiva-
tion. The proper use of fertilizer will
make the stalks and stems stronger
and thus more impervious to the at
tacks Of vegetable parasites or the
spittel of insects. 1t will give weight,
color and size to the fruit and ma
terially hasten maturity.

PEERS LIMIT SUFFRAGE
British House of Lords Passes Bill
ON Second Reading

London, July 23.--CBy 4. P.D-The
bill emitting women to hold public
offices and exercise public functions,
which passed second reading in the
House of Lords yesterday. is one in
troducpd by the government as subSti-
tute for the bill of William G. Adam
son in the House of Commons on be-
half of the labor party. The Adamson
bill gave women the franchise on the
same terms as men, but only at the
age of thirty.
The government bill does not change
the womens franchise and does not re
move the disqualification excluding
women from the higher ranks of civil
service. 1t contains clause emitting
peeresses in their own right to sit in
the House of Lords. but this clause
will probably be rejected.
Viscount Bryce and the Marquis of
Crewe advocated waiting until the pro
posed reconstruction of the House of
Lords had been effected before admit
ting pperesses. The lord chancellor ex-
plained that the government did not
desire change in womcn's franchise
because it would entail another general
election and, further. because a COM
mittee was being appointed to study the
question of legislative deyolution.
The Adamson bill will come before
the House of Lords shortly and will
probably be rejected, thus relieving the
government from an embarrassing stu
alton.
