How 70 Wash coIored Embroidery.

The best way to bleach white goods
having colored embroidery (such as
doilies and other articles which can
not be boiled for fear the color Will
fade) is to wash them and then dry
them I'm the shade. Put them In an
old pillow-case which has been dipped
in very strong bluing water and thor
oughly dried. Then hang the case
with the embroidered articles inside,
In the light for several days. They
will be perfectly white and the col
ored embroidery will not be one bit

At the Ornheum.

The famous actress, Elsie Fergu-
son, will appear at the Orpheum, Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week in her latest release. Eyes of
the Soul
The story deals with little cabaret
dancer who is loved by an elderly man,
a judge and a member of one of the
south's finest families. He is first at
tracted to her by her beauty and
grace, and after making her acquaint-
ance, he realizes that not only is she
possessed of a curious code of her own
by which she lives, but she has many
excellent qualities.
Miss Ferguson portrays the stellar
part, wearing a costume resembling
that of a pigeon, in a bird and dance
walk, accompanied by twenty girls
chosen from Broadway shows for their
grace and beauty.
When the carrier pigeon makes her
way slowly down the steps from the
cabaret stage, in time with the music,
the judge ties a note on her wrist.
The pigeon takes the note back to the
dressing room and after reading it,
well-things begin to look different in
her life and it would not be fair to tell
the story.
The picture is based upon George

No, Gertrude, that man doesn't sleep

discarded It last spring on account OF
the hot weather. Gee, gosh!-as little

the middle of August?
There are two kinds of men-those
who discard their coats, roll UP their
sleeves and make themselves COM

in, ard those who don't seem to mind

enheit and wear a coat all summer.
An investigation will show the latter

having it pressed when cool weather
comes again.

was no time for any pressing to be
done. By O'Clock, or a little later. in
the morning, Old Sol got busy and

or thirty degrees, and away went the

UNCLE sam, NOT ANARCHISM
John F. Lady Writes on Conditions
of Today.
Editor SIG Journal

Editor State Journal:
The United States has recently partici-
pated in a great war for the express pur-
pose of Kidding the world of kaiserism
This has been accomplished, preventing 1t
not merely from reaching America, but
Europe. Now we have to contend with the
red menace" due to the influx of the in
sidious bolshevik element, a new brand of
outlaws, together with the treacherous 1.
W. VS. and allied organizations of out
laws who, by intrigue, plotting, dynamit-
overthrow our government and bring about
disorder and chaos, presents a condition
OF anarchy requiring prompt and agrees
and by all state administrations well,
in order to thwart its progress and bring
1t to speedy termination.
1t has been quoted that the Bolsheviki
claim their banner is the banner of all
oppressed. Of all downtrodden, of all those
peace" If this be true, then it goes with
out saying that their acts Of violence and
deeds Of treaehery are so remote and d.
vorced from their aims and purposes that
It can clearly be seen there can be no
salvation for the downtrodden, the OPP
pressed, and the destitute in any regime
Of Bolshevism. And instead of these radi-
calls striving for universal peace, or even
showing a disposition OF being peaceable
a reign OF terror. Their banner, then, like
the red flag Of all other anarchists, in
stead of it being. a banner that stands for
equality or justice, stands for injustice;
instead of It being a banner that stands for
constructive government, stands for the
destruction OF all government, law and
order.
There has never so much as a hint been
made Of form Of government that Is bet
ter, not near so good, not even to be COM
pared with the present system OF govern
ment of the United States Of America. We
have a government that is a government
for the people. of the people, and by the
people IA representative government -
where laws are enacted at the consent Of
the governed. America, under our great
democratic government stands for sue
cess. Opportunities for position in life,
for achievement for advancement come to
all, and by honest persistent endeavor 1t
is possible for anyone to succeed. 1t is
even possible to rise from poverty and mis-
cry to fame and honor and to acquire a
fortune. Striking examples Of a few of
the men who have made a marked sue
cess in life are Abraham Lincoln and
James A. Garfield Having been born OF
humble parentage. in extreme poverty, and
under most unfavorable circumstances,
they rose to fame and honor.
There may be certain conditions existing.
that are not right. but wrongs may be
righted by proper legislation, and this can
properly be done only by having statesmen
in the legislative department Of our fed
eral and several state governments. We
need no new panacea. especially that kind
originating from anarchists, to apply to
old ailments.

With the entrance of various Amer
lean commissions into France during
the war, it became apparent at once
that one of the most beneficial things
that could be done by the American
people for the French was to assist
them in spreading knowledge concern
ing tuberculosis, to aid in furnishing
educational literature and teachings
that would assist in preventing the
further spread Of the disease. and to
give treatment and teach the French
how to care for those who had been
unfortunate In contracting the disease.
Postcards PretentiOus.
The literature, Of course, is printed
In French. 1t is very similar to that
which has been distributed in the
United States. The postcards are
much more pretentious than any that
have been distributed in this country.
The drawings are finished in colors.
Each picture tells its own story so
well that it is almost always unneces-
sary to attempt to read the caption at
the bottom in French script. The
drawings all appeal more to children
than to older persons as most of them
are pictures Of children in their vari-
Gus. everyday activities. The idea is
probably to proceed with the educa-
ton of the younger persons as they
grow up. The rising generation in
France will have a knowledge of the
various phases of tuberculosis that
was almost entirely lacking in the
older generation.
Cards Characteristically French.
The postcard drawings are charac-
teristically French. There are the Pier
rot series, showing Pierrot sick, then g
series of his efforts to regain health
He takes exercise, he sleeps by an oper
window. he takes a bath each day, he
