 Sweep carpet away from you and in one general direction, with the threads running the long way. Then sweep across.
 To take a grease spot off wall paper, apply a paste of cornstarch and water. When dry, brush off and the stain will be gone.
 Grease in wash material should readily yield to soap and moderately hot water. Persistent traces will have to be bleached with Javelle water.
 Bacon can be made to so twice as far if after cutting off the rind you dip each rasher in flour and fry quickly. This prevents the bacon from running to fat.
 You should, after baking. remove every particle of clean, dry flour from the board and put it into the dredger. This will come in very useful when preparing meat for stewing or fish for frying.

CLEVELAND, June 1.-THE Re
publican convention broke wide
open early this Afternoon into real
fighting session with the fight cen
tering in the resolutions committee,
which is wrestling with the platform
to be presented tonight.
wisconsin has broken loose, was
the word that spread among the
delegates, as Representative Henry
Allen Cooper staged a dramatic fight
in the resolutions committee.
Cooper attacked the entire platform
as drafted to date in bitter style.
He submitted the Wisconsin plat
form of Senator La Toilette as a
substitute. Then Cooper turned his
fire on the party regularity plank
of the platform as drafted in the
sub committee. He demanded to
know by whose authority such men
as La Toilette and other progress
sives were being read out of the
