Lecturer Quickly Routs Their Fears

Lecturer Quickly Routs Their Fears
..ss9r
The audience at the Minneapolis
Spokesman and st. Paul Recorder
Cooking School was scandalized
this week when Mrs. Halle Carper
held up perfectly good table nap
kin which had been deliberately
stained with blackberry juice. But
she smilingly assured them that
within a few minutes with the aid
of CLOR0X the stain would entire
ly disappear-and it did! "You
need not worry about such stains
as fruit, flower, grass, beverage,
blood and many ink, dye and medi-
cine stains when they get on your
white and color-fast linens" Mrs.
Carper said, 'for in CLOROX you
have wonderful aid. And what
pleasure it is to feel free to use
your fine linens with the assurance
that practically no stain can hurt
them permanently-that you have
a simple remedy on your laundry
shelf for such accidents. / always
think it is too bad when women
save their linens. The time to en-
joy them is now-and the safe
guard to keep on hand is CLOR-
OK"
Although she did not have time
to demonstrate the removal of mill
dew and scorch spots, Mrs. Carper
told her audience that even these
dreaded bug-a-boos of housekeep-
ing vanish before the magic Of
CLOROX.

more snowy-white napkin for her
audience to see, Mrs. Carper prom

lions at other classes during the

The Second Night

Whetted by the many pleasing
incidents of the first session and,
as well by the wish to hear and
see more of that winning per-
sonality, Mrs. Halle Carper, st.
Paul turned out en- masse for
the second session. The audience
began to arrive before the doors
were open and included women,
men and even children, repre-
senting a cross section of the
city's population. Mrs. Carper
prepared a number of tempting
dishes accompanied by numer-
GUS envious ohsl and ahsl from
the women who followed her on
printed recipes. She explained
the apparently intricate process
es with many humorous interpo-
iations, inspirations of the mo-
ment, and proved them to be
much more simple than they ap-
peared and well within the ca
liabilities of any housewife.

surrounded the demonstration, Mrs.
Carper, who again brought most
interesting exhibition of the mod
ern home in the preparation of
menus and in the use and under
standing of electric fixtures, now
SO commonly found in many homes.
Most of the interest, however,
rested in the distribution of the

stration.

Wis and Ruben Furniture Co., Min
neapolis, was won by Mrs. Rather

TWO Congressman
Play Roles AS

Two members of Congress were
almost heroes early today.
Representatives Frank ]. G.. Dor
sey and James P. McGranery, who
reside at the Willard Hotel, had
just driven up to the hotel when
they saw two men flee and another
stager up to their car, blood
streaming. He moaned:
"They just gave 1t to me-"
The two Congressman believed
the man had been stabbed and
sprang to his assistance. But
police who arrived said he had
been hit by a bottle in a fight.
The man, who gave his name
as Louis w. Harmon of the 1400
block Park Rd. N. w., was charged
with being drunk and disorderly.
And the two Congressman went
home to bed.
