MAKE BOILED STARCH
THAT DOESN'T STICK
Good General Recipe Given for
Making Cooked Material.
Not Possible to Give Directions for
Definite Amounts to Be Used Be-
cause Fabrics vary-6orax
Helps to WhIten.

Clothes are starched to stiffen them,
to give them the gloss Of new material,
and to make them keep clean longer.
The following is a good general recipe
for making cooked starch, recommend
ed BY the United States Department
Of Agriculture:
i to 4 tablespoonfuis v teaspoonful bcr-
starch, according to ak.
stiffness desired. VI teaspoonful par
1 cupful C1 pino cold ann or white fat
water. quart boiling wa
ter.
Make a paste of the starch and the
cold water; add the borax, the parafiin
or fat, and the boiling water. Boil the
mixture, stirring 1t thoroughly, until
1t is clear. or for about 20 minutes.
Remove any scum that forms and
strain the starch while hot.
The borax may be omitted. but 1t
helps whiten the clothes and 1t, as
well as the paraffin or the fat, makes
the starch smoother In ironing. Alum
is sometimes added (from one tea
spoon to one tablespoonful to one
quart Of water) and Is useful in max
ing the starch penetrate the fiber. It
apparently thins the paste but does
not decrease its stifrening property.
It Is impossible to give definite d.
rections for amounts of cooked starch
to be used, because all depends upon
the fabric and the degree Of stiffness
desired. However, II the four table,
spoonfuls Of starch have been used
to the quart Of water, cupful Of this
may be diluted with about three quarts
Of water for starching such articles
~ pettlcoats and gingham dresses.
Garments should be starched wrong
side out and left SO until they are
Eprlnkled.
II many clothes are to be starched
It is wise to keep part Of the cooked
starch hot and add 1t to the used
starch as the latter becomes too cool
and thin. The garments that are to
be stiffest should be starched first.
After thorough squeezing and dipping
the surplus starch should be wrung
but and the garments either rubbed or
patted. Garments wrung very dry be-
fore starching will be sitter than wet.

"A solution Of borax water (about

Time Riohtry Employed.

Never talk with any man, or under
take any triiiing employment, merely
to pass the time away; for every day
well spent may become "dny of sal
vation," and time rightly employed Is
an acceptable time" And remember
that the time thou triflest away was
given thee to repent in, to pray for
pardon Of sins, to work out thy sal
walton, to do the work of grace, to lay
up against the day OF judgment a
treasure of good works, that thy time
may be crowned with eternity.-Jere.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-''Moonshiner

bootleggers whose products are al
legged to have been responsible for four
deaths in Chicago within the past
forty eight hours.
Coroner Hoffman announced that
he would ask Chief of Police Fitzmor-

seller and arrest him in every case of
crime where there is a possibility that
moonshine may have been the domi-
nant cause. He promised the aid of
his own organization in prosecuting
offenders.
The latest death attributed by tho
coroner to moonshine is that of Henry

BANKS TOO FREE
Practice of Pyramiding Credits
by Rediscounts Dangerous.
Comptroller of Currency Asks
Amendment to Laws.

washington, Jan. 9.-The practices
of certain banks in pyramiding credits
by a process of rediscounting their
own paper with other banks, and
thereby endangering their safety and
the interests of their depositors, was
scored today by Comptroller of the
Currency Crissinger in his annual re-
port to congress.
Congress was asked by the comp
>troller to amend the banking laws and
impose drastic limitations on banks
that fewer failures from this cause
will result and that greater banking
safety will be insured.
Crissinger said that if congress had
restricted the rediscounting privilege
of banks, the country would not have
witnessed thirty-four bank failures
last year. While the comptroller finds
the banking situation sound and the
banks showing the best records in the
nations history. he strongly recon-
mends additional safeguards, as a
means of reaching the So-ea1led nom
conservative banking element
Rediscounting paper of banks when
properly limited and restricted consti-
tutes a practicable means of distribut-
ing credit, Crissinger said. It also
makes possible, he said, the extension
of credits to less fortunate commune
ties, especially in times of heavy
seasonal demand.
But the reckless bankers who in
dulge in orgies of initiation at the risk
of their own safety and that of their
ments to the existing statutes, suffi-
GENTLY rigid as to make this kind of
banking impossible, the comptroller

Elder S. FoIkerstma had been i'll for
some time before taking the poison,
and it is feared the poisoning will
prove fatal to him. H. Terkeurs also
is reported to be dangerously i'll from
the iethal drink.
The eight elders had been called to
receive the sacrament from Rev.
Arnold J. Van Lummel. preparatory to
administration of the rite to members
of the congregation. One by one after
parta king OF the communion drink,
the elders tOppled over on the floor,

The congregation was thrown into
an uproar and the pastor INN ediately
adjourned the service. The stricken
elders were removed to their homes,
where physicians are attending them.
According to Rev. Van Lummel, the
new choir loft of the church was COM
pieted last week and vanished with a
polish containing nicotine and potash.
The polish remaining when the job
was completed was placed in a jug,
the Rev. Van Lummel said, and it is
believed this jug was mistaken for
that containing the sacramental wine.

TWO ARE KILLED
Buried Beneath Mine Wall
Caved in by Blast.
Third Rescued From Debris at
COalvilIe, Kan., Saturday.

Pittsburg, Kan, Jan. 1.-Two men
We're killed and third narrowly es-
capped death when a big wall was
caved in by a blast at a small mine
near Coalville, in the northeast part
of Crawford county, Saturday. John
Cox and Clyde Moore were killed and
Clyde Collins was rescued from the
mass of earth
The men were striking miners and
were engaged in mining coal on the
farm of Cox. The coal was for their
own private use, it is understood. The
men We're uncovering coal by blasting
in a twelve foot wall. Earth loosened
by blast slid onto the men as they
worked. All three men were caught
under it.
Some children of Cox discovered the
accident shortly after it happened and
ran to the home for help. Several
men rushed to the scene. Moore was
dead, but Cox was still alive. He died
however, before the rescuers could dig
him out, being buried up to his head.
Collins was taken out and found not
to be injured severely.
Cox was a veteran of the mining
field. He was an engineer at a mine
near Coalville and it is said that he
was the only engineer pulled off his
job when the miners went out on
strike when Alexander Howat went to
Jail.
