TO CLEAN CARPETS.
METHOD THAT IS RECOMMENDED
BY EXPERT.
All Materials Needed Will Be On Hand
or are Easy to Acquire—Some
Other Useful Household
i Hints.
The following method of cleaning
carpets, according to the House-
keeper, has been thoroughly tested,
and was secured from a professional
source: First have the carpet
cleaned In the usual manner and
tacked down on the floor, where It
Is to remain permanently, and It is
ready for the cleansing process. Take
one and a half pounds of the best
white laundry soap, one-half pound
of white-oak bark, three-fourth pound
of borax, one-fourth pound of fuller's
earth, one-half pint of wood alcohol,
one-half pint of ammonia, one-half
ounce of choloform, and four gallons
of water. Tie up the bark in a ptiece
of thin material, and boll in two gal-
lons of water for four hours. Keep
boiling water at hand to replace that
lost by evaporation. Now remove the
bag, add the soap, shaved fine, the
borax, and the fuller's earth, and let
simmer'until all are dissolved; then
add the other two gallons of water,
which should be boiling hot, and when
partly cool add the alcohol, ammonia
and chloroform. This quantity will
clean 30 yeards of carpet.
To clean, dip out a cupful of the
preparation, put it on the carpet,
spread it, and scrub with an ordinary
bristle scrubbing brush. The spot
scrubbed will be covered with lather,
but the carpet will not be wet through.
When all the dirt has been removed
scrape the lather up Into a heap and
take it up with a scraper, which can
be had of any house furnishing store,
or a shingle with a smooth edge will
answer very well. When the lather
has been removed go over the carpet
with a sponge wrung out of clean
water, and dry with a cloth.
Austrian enameled ware may now
be had in white with a red edge. The
housekeeper who takes pride in her
kitchen may carry out a red and white
scheme, if she thinks the blue and
white ware, which has been in use so
long, is too ordinary.
An upholsterer's needle will prove
very useful to keep in the sewing
table. Chair buttcns, lounge buttons,
etc., can then easily be replaced by
the housekeeper. When one lives in
the country it is not always possible
to send for aid outside.
Celluloid toilet articles can be
bought at a reasonable price. These
are very neat for a young girl's dress-
ing table, if each article matches.
Although they may be had in colors,
white is always daintier and more
durable.
To use cold lamb, ham, or beef,
mince it fine with half the quantity of
ham and quarter as much bread
crumbs. Season with a small onion
(if not objectionable), salt, arul pep-
per. Mix this with an egg and any
gravy that may have been left from
the roast. Put in a baking ;ian, cover
with bread crumbs, and bake for half
an hour. This is a good dish for
luncheon.
Fish for Invalids.
A nice way of cooking cod for inva
lids: Wash and dry the fish, sprinkle
well with flour, a little pepper and salt
and put In a dish which is well greas-
ed with butter.
Pour over sufficient milk to cover
bottom of dish about an inch in depth
(more if liked). Cover down and cook
in a hot oven until quite loose from
the bone, basting frequently all the
time.
This makes a tasty dish, generally
being eaten with relish, as it is quite
free from fatness and no flavor being
lost The milk serves as a sauce, be-
ing thickened with the flour while
cooking.
* ortn Knowing.
That Allcock's Plasters are the
highest result of medical science and
skill, and in ingredients and method
have never been equaled.
That they are the original and gen-
uine porous plasters upon whose rep-
utation imitators trade.
That Allcock's Plasters never fail to
porform their remedial work quickly
and effectually.
That for Weak Back, Rheumatism,
Colds, Lung Trouble, Strains and all
Local Pains they are invaluable.
That when you buy Allcock's Plas-
ters you obtain tho best plasters made.
Proper Eyeglasses.
Everyone who knows that in using
a field glass it is necessary to adjust
it to a proper focus. Suppose that you
put one of the tubes at your focus and
the other tube at a focus that suit-
ed some one else and then you looked
through both tubes. You should have
a more or less blurred vision, and if
you kept on looking the chances are
that you would feel giddy and get a
headache. Now, the two eyes are sup-
posed to have an equal natural focus,
and when by any chance that focus is
unequal a headache results. The rem-
edy is a pair of glasses or a single
glass to make the eyes equal in power.
Tea on the Down Grade.
Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
couragement in a report recently
made by a large tea exporting house
in Yokohama to its American cus-
tomers. Incidentally it indicates t^at
the United States is not alone in fac-
ing increased cost of living. The re-
port says: "Owing to the rapidly in-
creasing cost of living in Japan labor
costs more, and in consequence cul-
tivation of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly,
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that of sea-
sons prior to the war, and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reversion to the
excellence of former years."—New
York Sun.
NO MEDICINE.
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.
Most diseases start in the aliment-
ary canal—stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat—white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.—these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines, and if we eat too much, as most
of us do, the organs that should di-
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
tion, indigestion, and a long train
of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest,
and this is changed into acids, sour
Btomach, belching gas, and a bloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
Indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
"About five years ago I suffered with
bad stomach—dyspepsia, indigestion,
constipation—caused, I know now,
from eating starchy and greasy food.
"I doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me there
was no cure for me. I could not eat
anything without suffering severe
pain in my back and sides, and I be-
came discouraged.
"A friend recommended Grape-Nuts
and I began to use it. In less than
two weeks I began to feel better, and
inside of two months I was a well
woman and have been ever since.
"I can eat anything I wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast, and are very
fond of it." Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich. P.ead the

May Throw Light on History.
While excitement regarding the Ho-
henlohe memoirs is still rife in Eu-
rope, there is subdued talk in British
military circles regarding the forth-
coming appearance of a book which
will contain some of the late duke of
Cambridge's voluminous correspond-
ence. A diary kept by Emperor Fred-
erick of Germany is in safekeeping in
England and the day may not be far
distant when It also will be published.
Correct answers to numerous histor-
ical enigmas may be expected from
such a publication.
It Will Stay There.
"In my family medicine chest no
remedy is permitted to remain unless
it proves beyond doubt the best to be
obtained for its particular purpose.
"For treating all manner of skin
troubles, such as Eczema, Tetter,
Ringworm, etc., Hunt's Cure has held
its place for many years. I have fail-
ed to find a surer remedy. It cures
itching instantly.

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?
Profit by the Experience of One Who
Has Found Relief.
James R. Keeler,' retired farmer, of
Fenner street, Cazenovia, N. Y., says:
"About fifteen years
ago I suffered with
my back and kid-
neys. I doctored and
used many remedies
without getting re-
lief. Beginning with
Doan's Kidney Pills,
I found relief from
the first box, and
two boxes restored
me to good, sound condition. My wife
and many of my friends have used
Doan's Kidney Pills with good results
and I can earnestly recommend them."
Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.
