A Few Hints for Laundering.

Using an old sheet double it as
many times as it will cover the board.
This will make four or five thick
nesses, which are laid smoothly and
tackled on the board all at once. When
the top layer becomes soiled, 1t Is cur
OF and there is the board with a clean
cover.
When covering the ironing-board
with a blanket or padding, tack it
along the edges only, so that both
sides and the ends are smoothly COW

Ing sheet the size Of board, with large
end left open to slip on like a pillow
case. If well fitted, both sides of the
board car be used; 1T will look neat
and there will be no pins or nails to
tear hands or clothing.
A Handy Iron Cleaner.
A very practical little c%ontrivance
for use when ironing consists of n
block of wood about five inches square.
Five holes are bored IN this block and
filled with beeswax. These are cover
ed with a piece Of muslin. The other
side Of the block is covered with en-
ery-clOth. The emery side OF the block
is used to rub the iron on If the
starch sticks and the wax side gives
the iron smoOthness.

Well, Wasn't It,

A London train IA waiting in a dim
station at the end of a dull afternoon.
A nearsighted woman hurried down
the aisle, peering at the passengers,
and at last, as she dropped into a seat
besides another woman, exclaimed
with a sigh of relief:
"Oh, it's you!"
certainly not! !" snapped q startled
stranger, turning.
Whereupon the mistaken traveller
hastily apologized. II beg your pardon
but it's so dark in here l was quite
sure you were."-LOndOn Tit-Bits.

O Of aluminium enamel paint makes
them neat and clean. No more flakes
of rust or smudge to drop off OF white
garments when ironing. They can b|
washed and the heat does not affect

a small can will do for coating q mum
Der of irons.
Useful Ironing Blanket.
Make an ironing blanket for EN-.
broidered articles and laceS from 9
square of white outing flannel, and one
of Turkish toweling. neatly bound to
gether. The Turkish side is used fol-
faces and insertions, as Me loose
threads In ironing are forced w
through the lace, While the other side
is used for embroideries.
For Cleaning and Polishing Irons.
Saturate a cloth with water, wiring
partially dry, rubbing soap thorough
ly on IT. Place on several thicknesses
of paper. Rub iron over 1T several
times, pressing hard, to remove starch
and roughness. The result is surpris
ing. as it makes the surface of iror
perfectly clean and smooth.
This is the best and most econOmi
cal way of cleaning irons, doing away
with the use of ironing wax or any
cleanser for irons.

early effort will be made to
put Legislation through Congress
to restore to the Interstate Com
merce Commission some powers
1t exercised before the war and
which were taken from it when
the carriers were turned over to

Committee; Representative Esch

the fact that at present the
Director-General of Railroads
can raise rates without the Inter-
state Commerce Commission hav-
ing power to suspend them and
investigate their reasonableness
before they are permitted to be-
come operative.
