ellie water. Oxalic acid has the disad-
vantages of being harmful to some
materials and poison to human beings.
Javelle water must also be used with
caution. The following are few hints
on how to keep table linen spotless
by simple, home methods:
Peach, Pear or Plum Stains-Tan-
min seems to develop color where no
color was and to darken and change
if hot, soapy water or hot iron
strikes it. Soak the peach, pear or
plum stain in warm glycerin. Alcohol
may be used, but it is inf1ammable
Rinse out the glycerin and if some Of
the stain still remains, 'try again
with a second application of glycerin.
Then if traces still persist, use sodi-
UNI perbolate bleach. Dissolve 2 or 3
teaspoons of the bleach in cup :
water and soak the spot in the solu-
ton. Rinse again, before laundering
in plenty of hot water and soapsuds.
Grape Juice and Fresh Berry
Stains. Stretch the stained area over
a bowl and hold in place with a rub
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1938-09-22

Der band. Pour boiling water onto the
spot from a heigth of 3 or feet. If
any of the stain remains, try rubbing
the spot and pouring on boiling water
alternately. Then if there are still
traces, use sodium perboate or Javelle
water.
French Salad Dressing-Soak up as
much oil as possible with white tai
cum powder, cornstarch or corn meal.
For very small grease spots on very
large tablecloths, try applying paste
made of carbon tetrochloride and corn
starch or some other absorbent. Allow
paste to stand on the grease spot sew
eral hours or overnight. The carbon
"tet" will dissolve the fat and the
cornstarch will soak it up. When the
paste dries the cornstarch can be
brushed off easily and the spot will
disappear as if by magic.
For very large oil stains, such as
an upset jug Of French dressing,
souse the stained area in carbon tetra-
chloride before laundering. Rub plenty
of soapsuds into the spot before 1t
goes into the tnb.

THE DANGER oFs"sUMMER
COMPLAINTS is NOT OVER

mr.
The following reminder that danger
of summer complaint" for babies,
does not end with the summer months,
and that special precautions. should be
continued for some weeks longer, to
protect them from the disease, comes
from D. ]. H. M. Knox, Jr., Chief of
Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment of Health.
"Twenty years ago." DR.. Knox said,
"July was the month most dreaded by
physicians and mothers alike, as the
time when summer compliant was
likely to be particularly. prevalent
among babies. Gradually the period
of greatest danger of both sickness
and deaths among babies from intesti-
nal diseases has come later and later
in the season.
"Now, in this part of the country,
September is included by many physi-
Clans in the period when special care
should be given to infants, in the prep
aration of their food, in protecting
them from flies, and from infection
contracted from other members of
the household who are suffering from
diarrhea or dysentery.
GAS a special precaution, no radi-
cal changes should be made in a
baby's diet-if it is doing well-until
the crisp fall days are here. If the
baby becomes even slightly i'll, doc
tor should be called promptly.
Babies who have had diarrhea or
dystery during the summer
must be watched very carefully as a
relapse of the illness with a return of
the diarrhea, may be particularly seri-
Gus. Extreme cleanliness in the hand
ling of all milk and foods for infants
is absolutely essential at all times. All
milk and water to be given to babies
should be boiled, and properly cooled
before using"

The SpOtless Tablecloth

Early September is an especially
trying season for the homemaker, to
find daubs of peach stain and spatter-
ings of fruit juices on her best linen
tablecloth.
Chances of completely removing a
stain are at their best if you begin
work Immediately, before the spot
has had time to dry. By all means do
the spotting before the laundering.
Merely smoothing the surface with
hot iron often sets a stain so it is diff
flcult to bulge. For quick and eff
Gent removal of spots on napery you
will need three types of cleaning
agents, in addition to the usual laun-
dry supplies. You should have good
bleach, and materials for absorbing
and dissolving various stains. A bleach
is the substance which comes nearest
to guaranteeing final spotlessness in
removing stains from white, washa-
BILE materials. Sodium perborate is one
of the best beaches because it works
slowly and gently. It will not injure
cotton, linen, rayon or even silk. Other
good bleaches are oxalic. acid and Jaw

Since you so painfully passed awav-
You suffered, oh, so many hours If

To wait for cure, but all in vain.
Till God alone knew what was hest
So He called you home to give Won
rest.
We cherish the memory of you 50 dear
And oftimes shed bitter tear,
For we can readily remember tbo
many years
When you could always comfort with
a cheer.
To keep you with US we did our best
So may God grant you eternal rest,
Sadly missed by

The old boatmen are scattered.
Some of them-like the man and wife
who lived in their boat but owned six
houses in Washington-made a good
living out Of boating before the canal
closed up after the flood of 1924. They
brought down as much as 1875 tons of
coal on a single trip.
The boatsman's home was the little
cabin on the stern of the 90-foot
barge. His mules were housed in the
fore cabin. As they drifted down the
canal, wash-day clothes futtered in
the breeze. The hardy mother who
gave birth to child in one lock, and
steered the boat out of the next lock
herself, was not the only brave soul
on the canal.
Born To The Boat ''t
When the boy-child got old enough,
he would take his turn at driving the
two mules, hitched single-fle, along
the narrow tow path. Every eight
hours the team was changed, and
rested team of mules was led out of
the forward cabin. AS the boy grew
up, he got his turn at the tiller when
the barge was empty.
Some of these canal boys became
barge captains themselves. Old Dan
Connor, who lives in the tavern at
Great Falls, left his fathers barge to
work as level-walker, plodding four
miles up and four miles back each
day with shovel on his shoulder.
When he found small break, he re-
paired it with mud and rocks. If the
break was big, he called the scow to
come with its repair crew.
In the late summer, the lush river
grass of the canal bottom would cling
to the barge's hull, and the mules,
leaning hard in their harnesses, would
raise blisters on their shoulders.
In December, when the boatmen
cast wary eyes each morning for first
signs of the freezeup, the scows were
armed with iron plows and sent out
to clear away the forming ice.
When spring rains drummed against
bedroom windows around town at
night, canalmen stirred restlessly,
haunted by memories of the freshets
and floods that washed the canal out
several times in it's long, sad history.

he makes up for it with plenty OF

Not so good on defense.

with plenty of opportunity to de-
velop. With natural rhythm and
a keen shooting eye he IS con-
stantIy a danger man for the
opposition He has lots to learn
about breaking and still finds it
nice to loaf around the floor oc-
easionaIly. Another one that can

Having both forwards short is
a disadvantage, and this lack of
height is a real handicap of the
High School team.
Lopez, at one of the guard posi-
tons plays a loafing type of game,
but has plenty of endurance, is
a good shot, and is fine on de-
Tense.
Stickney is at the other guard
post. Not exactly sure of himself
yet. but has the makings. Good
on retrieving the ball off the
blackboard, turns in nice guard
work, Not especially good on pass
ing, is good shot but makes few
tries at the hoop.
Shoneck, who usually shares a
half with Stickney, is a real COM
ing player, plenty of endurance,
a hard fighter. snappy passer, he
is still green on trickery and
smoother basketball, but is al
ways a hard man to stop. He
usually roams the court getting

Andrew Jackson High School
five of Miami will invade this
territory for the first time when
it clashes with the Monroe Ceun-
ty High School varsity at the Gym
Friday night IN the local fiye's
opening high school game of the
year.
Little is known locally Of the
Jackson team. which this year is
playing for the state Senior High
School Basketball class. Reports
have it that the squad is compos-
ed of men who have played to-
gether since grammar school days
and it is expected that it viii be
a smooth working team
The local five has not inprov-
ed as well this year as last, Coach
P. D. HuddIeston states. Only in
the closing minutes Of their game
against the Key West College All
Stars IN which they STAYED of a
rally and scored brilliantly them
selves in the last few minutes of
play, did they show class SO far
this season, the coach asserted.
J. V. Woodson, deadshot and
hard fighting center, is the real
spirit of the team, the high School
local basketball fans agree. Wood
son has had plenty of experience,
has a good eye, guards exceeding
~ well, is fine on follow up and
retrieving shots off the back
board, and is fair on passing with
an occasional tendency to throw
the ball away or make the pass
too long. Breaks for the basket
with trickery and speed.
J. Domenech, runt forward, is
the shooting star" of the squad.
He is exceptionally good on sink
ing them and gets loose often
enough to be a constant threat.
His height is a disadvantage, but
