Use Javelle
Water

Javelle water, which can be made
at home, Is good bleaching agent
to use in removing stains from
white linen and cotton when more
simple methods fail Obstinate
stains made by clear coffee and "a,
fruits or ink, for instance, will yield
to an application OF this useful
liquid.
Javelle water should be applied
only to uncolored cotton or linen
materials, because II bleaches colors
and rots silk or wool. In treating
stains with JavelIe water. stretch
the stained portion over a bowl
filled with water and apply the
Javelle water to the stain with q
medicine dropper. Do not allow the
Jayelle water to remain in contact
with the stain for more than one
minute. Apply oxalic acid solution
to neutralize the Jsvelle water and
rinse by dipping the stain in the
bowl of water.
II allowed to remain too long in
contact with the fibers Javells
water rots even linen and cotton
materials. and IL should therefore
always be neutralized with oxalic
acid and the fabric rinsed thor
oughly to remove all traces OF the
chemical. For very persistent stains
the Javelle water may have to be
applied several times. but should be
neutralized with oxalic acid solu-
ton after each application.
Prepare Javelle water as follows:
Dissolve one pound OF washing
soda in one quart OF cold water. To
this solution add one -quarter OF
pound OF ordinary bleaching pow
der calcium hypochlorite). Filter
this liquid through a piece of mus
lin to remove the sediment. Keep
the clear liquid in tightly stop
pered bottles in a dark place.

WAS RATHER TAME AFFAIR
TownIey's Crowd DwindIed-De-
Tense League Formed


The greatly advertised ''thrOng"
at the Townley N. p. l.. meeting at
Salina did not materialize. He had
80 paid workers from North Dakota
and claimed 10000 would attend. He
addressed about 1900. mostly cur
ioslty seekers. Most Of his harangue
was an attack on Governor Allen and
he declared he would stay until he
had organized the farmers. 1t was
disappointing affair.
Formed Defense League
= After an all-day meeting Of nearly
500 former service men from every
section Of Kansas. an organization
to be known as the American De-
Tense league, Of Kansas, was perfect
ed to carry on the battle against
TOwnley.
The anti league organization elect

the local American Legion post, as
its state president, John Allen, OF
Atchison, was chosen vice president :;
G. II. Hale. secretary, and DR.. +. g..

urer.
The outline of the organizati"'
proyided in the constitution div
the state into units following, the
lines of the eight congressional dis
trirts. Distrilt officers were chos-
en- at caucuses. =
The constitutional declaration OF
the organization, follows. In part :;
eve deplorc and will oppose any
system of thought, argument or ac-
tion which causes. aims or results
IN the creation Of class hatred or
preiudice and will at all times and
under MI circumstances contend
against Townleyism and similar
movements or radicalism IN any
form, and under whatever name
which aim to impair the sacred prin-
cipals and virtues of our govern
ment We stand only for law ana
order and high ideals"
The constitution provides that
every patriotic citizen of the state
is eligible to membership. Annual
dues were fixed at 81.
800 and Get EN-"
Townley is evidently worried over
the central Kansas farmers indis-
position to give up SIS to his hired
crew Of organizers. A man VINO
was sitting outside Townley's office
in the hotel where he has whole
floor heard him pounding the desk
and yelling at his crew: $50 ana
get 'em! Go and get EN-" He de-
clined an invitation to have joint
debate with Governor Allen-he re-
members what happened to Com

Bank of North Dakota in a sound
condition, as a result OF mismanage-
ment on the part of the Nom Parti-

chants association told the business
men of Salina.
1t is reported that Townley VIII

round up the labor element through
his agitators and maybe they VIII

smart for him.

GOOD INVESTMENT DAYS
Never Such Chance to Insure Income
ms Now He Says

as Now lie Says
A representative Of Kansas City
bond firm was in the city and COM
mented on the opportunity OF today
for investment "Never has there
been In this generation" said he,
"such an opportunity for people to
put money into Investments that
will insure a good income for years
to come. Municipal bonds that pay
per cent and nOn-taxable, indus
trial bonds and stocks that pay 8 per
cent, preferred stocks non-taxable
that pay per cent are on the mar
ket because big firms have to have
the money. 1t will be long time
before many business houses are GO
ing to make that sort Of income but
the big concerns have to tide over
the next few years. Last week sold
a woman In Newton $4,000 Of bonds
she put all her insurance money
and all the property she had outside
her home into 1t. She wit have a
steady income for the next twenty
years with no taxes to pay and no
exertion except cutting off the cou-
pons. I envied her the ease Of mind
she will have. All through the west
men and women are doing this and
are fixing themselves for life. 1t is
the investors harvest. Indications
are that money will be tight for sew
eral months or year and that 1t
will take some time for business to
get back on its feet properly. After
a while interest rates viii fall and
we shall be back where. We, were
with interst at a to 5 per cent. but
the investors Of today will be fixed"
