Dickens in one of his novels gives
n account of the proceedings of
some philanthropic society whose ob- j
ject was to provide the native of 4
the Sahara with hot muffins and wol- i j
len undershirts. What a pity Charlie j
Rogers has never learned this valu- j
able lesson of tempering generosity
with judgement! Out of the depths of
his kindly heart and the cellar he dug 1
up two colicky ex-cornets, which he i
ptesented to a couple of school-boys,
his one idea being to please the
boys. He pleased them, all right.
They, were delighted. Pop-eyed and
purple-faced they blatted away, stop
ping to take breath only to yield the <
instruments of torture a moment only
to some pal in the envious and germ
dispising crowd around them, begging
to try it “just once.” Several fran
tic citizens, harassed by visions of
yawning cells at Morningside, are lay
ing for Charlie—poor, kindly, well
. . ‘ <
meaning, misguided Charlie.
Rev. A. G. Shriver is in receipt of a i
letter from our former townsman. Matt
Rockendorf, who is undergoing treat
ment at Mayo Bros.’ institute, Roches
ter. N. Y., containing much news of in- 4
terest to Cordovans. Among other
things he says that he expects to be
able to dispense with one of his
crutches shortly, and before long he
herpes to be able to navigate without
the assistance of either. Charlie Kits- ^
man is still at the institute. His recent
attack of influenza left his hearing in
a most deplorable state, and it will be
weeKs, ana possiDiy monxns, oeiore ne
•will be able to return North. He suf
fered a great deal from ulcers, and
while he is improving now, and will *
eventually gain his hearings, it will be
a slow process. Dr. Daggett was tak
ing a course at the clinic. George
Stevens is back there. He did not re
turn to Alaska, but spent the winter
in Seattle. He talks of going to St. 4
Louis after leaving Rochester, which
will be in about ten days.
‘Cap” Lathrop’s faithful right
bower. Louie Belter, was in a pitiable
state of agitation during the second
show last Sunday, causing solicitous *
glances up at one of the boxes, and
fidgeting like a flapper debutante.
T^ose who noticed him. remembering
Louie’s weakness and recalling
Roi#;«o and Capulet’s garden, craned
their necks to make out the cause 4
of his disturbances, expecting to see
some fair dame enthroned on high,
the cynosure of Louie’s eagle orbs.
But no! his looks expressed not de
votion, but apprehension; not adora
tion. but fear—fear that the balcony *
was about to collapse. There were *
four weighty reasons for this fear—
€. H. Scheffler, W. H. Lindig. A. J.
McConnell and “Babe” Hayes, a re
cently reformed Valdezan, all tight
ly packed into the center-left loge,
and making an imposing row such as <
Mount Doll, Mount Russell, Mount
Foraker and Mount McKinley make
among the lesser peaks of our great
territory. The gentlemen seemed un
comfortably crowded, until Mr Me
Cornell hit upon the simple expedient
of dangling one foot over the parti- <
tion into the next box. Whereupon -
the others gave sighs of relief, hitch
ed o.yer their chairs a few inches and 1
proceeded to enjoy the play in com- «
fort
I And the balcony is still intact.

Wear, Washing and Your Clothes
Why do clothes wear out ? Is day
to day use a principal factor ? Has
laundering a weakening or strength
ening effect? How much has the
quality of the manufacturer’s work
to do with wear? What can rea
sonably be expected of a given piece
of fabric ?
In behalf of the housewives whom
we serve, these questions have been
searchingiy inquired into.
Tablecloths of real linen, well
woven, can be laundered as many
as 100 to 150 times before showing
wear. This is the average of our
methods of handling linen that has
been finely made and properly cared
for by the housewife.
Flaws often appear in curtains at
the point below the shade, where
they are most exposed to dust-laden
air and the action of the sun’s rays.
To check these corrosive influences
many housewives have their curtains
washed oftener than cleanliness alone
requires.
If a few drops of
a harmful fluid, like
the solution in an
automobile stor
age battery, have
fallen on a cloth, holes will develop
during the first washing.
A starched collar that has never
been worn—such a collar as is com
monly favored by men—can be con
tinuously washed in laundries like
ours as many as 40 times before it
will begin to fray. But if the collar
is worn between washings, it can be
laundered only 20 times or less. In
a word, the wearing of a collar—the
putting it on and taking it off—
shortens its life by 50 per cent or
more.
Personal apparel and household
linen are bleached, dyed, woven,
tailored, packed, shipped, stored, un
packed and used before they come to
us. If at any stage there has been
poor workmanship, misuse or abuse,
“it all comes out in the wash.”
But when you have purchased
with judgment, and used your things
with care, our cleansing methods
will help you prolong their usefulness.
Laundering and
conservation of
clothes have be
come an art with
us. Send us your
family washing.
