New York declared before the opening
meeting today, Civilization is past
that stage where wars are carried on
with shot and SHE'LL" adding that the
Civil Legion cannot lend a greater
service than to keep alive the historical
fact that the civilian forces responded
with such equanimity." Mr.. Russell
also took occasion to criticize what he
described as increased attacks on the
character of men responsible for the
founding of this country"

MODERN PLANT
USES SHAMPOO
SHATTER-PROOF
WeddeI Process of Cleaning
Is Used by Local
Organization.

Cleaning rugs and overstuffed
furniture with great caution at small
cost is the business Of c. E. We'd
del, owner of the Superior Rug
Cleaners, 1904 College avenue.
The Superior company operates
two huge trucks that daily are busy
bringing in rugs and furniture from
throughout the city for the Weddel
process Of cleaning.
On all rugs, from the domestic
Wilton to the finest imported Orien-
tails, the same care is exercised in
cleaning and restoring size and
color.
The process used is called the
Shampoo" method and its advan-
tages over certain other types lies
in the fact that the rugs are alb
solutely uninjured by it, Weddel
says.
Pure Soap Used
Nothing but the purest soap chips.
Lux or Ivory. are used in making
the lather with which the rugs are
given a shampoo.
This lather is brushed into the
rug thoroughly by a series Of stiff
bristle brushes operated by an elec-
trio machine. After a thorough
securing, the rugs then are washed
out and the large vacuums are used
on them.
According to experts this is the
best way in which to eliminate every
last vestige of dirt. The colors then
appear in their original beauty.
In the case of furniture the same
minute attention is given the cloth
that is required for the very finest
fabrics. Many Of the large furni-
ture houses send soiled pieces to
the Superior cleaning establishment
to be restored.
Plant Well Equipped
The companyS plant is we'll
equipped with the most modern of
all devices for handling the work in
which they are engaged. There is
ample room for prompt attention to
all work received.
FringeS on rugs are all hand
cleaned by the staff of experts which
numbers as many as ten or twelve
in the rush seasons of spring and
fall.
The plant has a capacity of eight
large rugs an hour. The prices have
been standardized and large or small
accounts are given the same atten-
ton and pay on the same scale.
