Tub The Silks

The following aXioms touch the
high spots of laundering silk:
l. Use only neutral soap.
2. Have the wash water luke
warm.
8. Have all rinse waters lukewarm
4. EqueeZe, not rub, out the soil.
5. Squeeze out the water-do not
wiring.
g. Hang the silks up to breathe"
in the air. but not the sun.
Z. Roll separately.
8. Iron with only a medium-hot
iron
Just as in all washing, separate
your white and colored pieces. Make
a good live suds first by adding the
soap to hot water, then cooling to
lukewarm with cold water. Next
put in your silks. Do not soak them
but wash at once, and use squeez-
ing rather than rubbing motion to
force the suds through the fiber.
Rinse at least twice in clear, warm
water the same temperature as that
used for washing. Here lies one of
the secrets of preserving the white
ness of silks. Extremes of tempera-
ture are disastrous so do not subject
the silk to either excessive heat or
cold, but instead maintain a warm
temperature for the whole procedure.
Let me emphasize too, through rims
ing, for any suds left in the silk will
surely yellow it when it is ironed.-

FARM BANKS EXPECT
BIG BUSINESS RUSH
Will Resume Operations Through
Favorable Supreme Court Decis-
ion. Many Loans Are Sought.

A telegram announcing the deciS-
ion of the Supreme Court upholding
the Federal Farm Loan Bank act
was received with great satisfaction
at the Baltimore bank in the Fidelity
Building yesterday.
D. Fred Shamberger. vice-presi-
dent of the bank, which includes
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Virginia West Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia, said that now that
the Supreme Court had upheld the
validity of the Farm Loan Bank act
he expected big rush on business.
I'VE have in the Baltimore bank"
he said applications for loans ag-
gregating about S15,O00,0OO, al
though we have been discouragi G
applications for Is months, or since
this litigation about the bank start
ed. In spite of this, however, a few
applications have come in. l have
no doubt that they will come in with
a rush.
when we suspended operations
the Baltimore bank was doing busi-
ness of from $75O,000 to $1,00O,000
a month, and our organization was
in high favor with the farmers. We
have never lost a dollar, although
we have loaned about SIS 100000.
Because we were unable to func-
ton while the litigation over the
bank was pending we were compell-
ed to let go most of our employees.
We will have to rebuild our organi-
zation before We can get to work
properly but will begin that task at
once.
Il am glad the decision came when
it did, because the farmers are in
bad shape and need financing. They
need the bank now more than they
needed it before, for they have been
hard hit in the drop in price of farm
products. Many of them have been
compelled to sell their live stock and
other products at less than the cost
of production. Unless they can get
money on favorable terms many Of
them probably will go to the wall.
We will do our best to reorganize
promptly so as to help them out"

Avoid Typhoid

Il venture to explain the greater
prevalence of typhoid fever among
mature men than is found among
mature women by the fact that men
are much more oftener from home.
They have more frequent opportuni-
ties to become infected with the ty-
phoid germ. This germ is carried
particularly by the water supply.
Many OF the epidemics of typhoid
fever are localized by the area at
which the water Of a certain district
is drunk. Less often it is carried by
the milk.
Men, in travelling from place to
place, drink water of all kinds. now
more than ever, and eat foods of
different kind and with different
degrees of sanitary care. For this
reason, 1 think it is not difficult to
account for the fact that men who
travel are more likely to contract
this disease than women who stay at
home
Having established the fact that
typhoid fever is more commonly car
ried in the water and in the food
supply, the reasonable conclusion as
to the best method of avoiding it is
that these sources of infection
should be guarded against by nation
al, state and city health authorities.
Unpolluted foods and a safe water
supply are quite as important to the
welfare of a city as good streets
good fire protection, and good police
service. If the traveller drinks no
thing but boiled water and pasteur-
lied milk, and eats nothing but cook
ed foods, he may be certain of es-
Gaping altogether from any infec-
tion of typhoid-Dr. Wiley in League
for Longer Life.

DORCHESTER MUSKRAT
PELTS YIELD $l75,OOO
$4,000 To $4,000 Additional For

Cambridge, Nd. Feb. 28 Especially

the mu5krat haul of Dorchester

exclusive of the rat meat, for which
the trappers will get from $4,000
to 81 5000 additional.
At the beginning Of the season
pelts brought so cents each and the
low price caused many of the small
er trappers. particularly those who
trap in marshes, to be less assiduous
in their work. When the price ad-
vanced to 81 these trappers got busy
But due to the fact that they failed
to work during January, when the
catching is at it's best, this years
catch has fallen below that of last
year.
Buyers are now paying from $3.50
to $1.40 a pelt and this Is probably
the limit of the price for this year,
though it seems more likely to go up
than down, should any change take
place. The total catch for the coun-
ty will probably be about $125,O0O.

about recovered from the ravages of
the winter of 1917, when a hard
freeze setting in at low tide, caused
the rats to come out of the tops of
their houses and seek food in the
fields and forests instead of SWIM
ming out beneath the ice to their
feeding grounds, as they mad been
wont to do when the freeze came at
high tide. This had always happen
ed in previous years.
That year hawks. owls, eagles,
foxes and men armed with sticks
played havoc among the rats. One
man that season killed 54 rats in
single day with a light club. For
year or two following the 1917 sea-
son the catch was light, but last
years catch was a good one and
brought the trappers Of Dorchester
about $500,000.
