LINOLEUM FORMm
In spite of the ideal cleanliness
irhieh a new hardwood kitchen floor
possesses, the woman who does all her
owiwhousework will soon find that .any
iort of bare floor entails .aa amount of
icrubbing or mopping that, when con
sidered in the aggregate jfor just one
/ear of time, becdmes,. appalling, says
Mary' Taylor-Ross in-'House Beautiful.
So much time anF health and strength
ire consumed for what does no one* anr
jfoodand aside,from these, the loss of
jvhat 'is most desirable during this time
jpeiit in scrubbing, whether it be Out
f-doo exercise, reading, writing or
ven in sewing or doing fancy work,
jauses us to doelare that the eommon
icnsc kitchen floor is covered.in some
way, with sdme one of the many suit
ible coverings that are on the market.
This is always supposing that a tiled
citchen floor is out of the question,
iltho the day may come when such
3oors will be found in all kitchens, in
itead of in the homes of wealth only.
With the greatest care a hardwood
loor soon loses the freshness of its
Jnish, and shows worn spots that are
mything but pleasing to the eye.
Experience seems to point to some
"iort of oilclothlinoleum, preferably:
ind there is now to be had, linoleums
hat have the pattern stamped all the
vay thru, so that there is no wearing
of the pattern till the fabric itself
gone. This is, of course, oxpensive,
mil if in place of it one miist buy oil
cloth, or the ordinary, linoleum, it is
Wise to select'a smali all-over pat
tern or figure. When the large figured
")iIcJoth commences-to weaij it is diffi
cult to match worn places with the bits
fiat are left over, and the large figures
C|ways look worse when they once be
i to grow dim, than the small, all
rver patterns. A small-patterned lino
,euiii .has been in use on a much-used
ibor for over nine years, and while the
igure has worn off in places, it is still
juite respectable, and may be used for
"jome time yet.
First of all, a brown linoleum was
elected, the figures being- geometrical
lesigns in a lighter brown, with the
*elf-color inside of the lines. 'Enough
ffas left over in laying the oilcloth to
nake several mats, which were used
wherever there was most wear, and by
drifting the mats, even these were made
:o last much' longer than* they would
~iad they been left constantly in one
"lac and worn right out. The mats
?rere botirid with braid around the
adges, the braid, which was three inches
adde, being pasted to both sides of the
inbleum, and this saved the edges from
ein frayed and rolled. Save even
,he sinall scraps when* laying the cloth,
they may come in useful if the edges
I jommence to fray.
This fraying of the edges, however,
i nay be overcome in two ways by ptir
hasing the sort of lineoleum that is
itted to the floor in one-piece instead of
xeing laid in breadths like a carpet. But

FOLK'S STEADY PROGRESS
William Allen White in McCiure's:
Up to this point the career of Folk
as had many parallels in public life,
[ahy young men have made excellent
rosecuting. attorneys and have been
romoted for their good work., But in
ine eases out of ten promotion finishes
young man's usefulness. He sees an-.-
,_-ther promotion, and begins to compro
dse to get 'it, and that is the end of:
im. But this young man Folk is not
(tting down. He is keeping up his
:andards, lining'up to the ideals tfrhich
ave him his promotion. Political pros
eritv agrees with him. As soon as he
'as inaugurated he summoned the ,polit-(
al attorneys "of the railroads, whose'
usiness it Wa|tp bribe .legislators, and
5ld them tBafj he proposed to enforce
le antipass law, which had been a dead
tter on the Missouri Statutes for hear
forty years. .This law prohibits rail-.
ad from giving passes to legislators
st^te officers.or state employees. By
iolating this laV the political attor
oys of the railroads have been able to
revent any railroad legislation fair

ave been able to direct other legis-
~"~"ition so closely that in times past oth--
X^irfe
this is difficult to handle if it has to be
removed for any purpose, and so the
linoleum in' widths is usually purchased,
and this may be made like one single,
-floor, covering by cementing .the edges
'-to'the floor.
Lay the linoleum and let it remain
"on the floor for about a week without
tacks, go as to -let it stretch. If it is
tacked at first, it will be sure to form
ridges after a time, and these ridges are
soon" broken and worn thru, spoiling the
entire covering. After the linoleum
-has been down for a week or two, ap
ply cement to the edges, and paste it
down to the floor. This cement may be
bought at the furniture dealer's, or any
good waterproof cement may be used, if
o'n'e 's dealer does not keep this particu
lar kind. No tacks are necessary, and
after the cement has once dried, it is
impervious to water so that if water is
spilled on the floor by accident, there is
no danger of it running under the cover
ing and raising the linoleum in ridges,
besides tending to weaken and de
stroy the under finish on the wrong
side. The cemented edges make it
like one entire floor covering.
In caring for linoleum, do not use
soapsuds as for scrubbing a floor. It
stands to reason that soap is going to
in.iure the varnish and the finish. 0
a farm where there is plenty of milk,
a cloth wrung out of skim milk is the
best means of taking up the dust and
brightening the linoleum. Where milk
is scarce, or needed for food, use luke
warm water, to which has been added
half a cup of kerosene oil, or some good,
furniture polish. Wring the cloth rather
dry from this, and go over the linoleum
after sweeping, and it will be quite new
and bright, and the finish uninjured.
An ordinary whisk or corn broom should
not be used upon linoleum, any more
than on a polished hardwood floor, be
cause it is too harsh, and in time pro
duces unsightly scratches. Have a soft,
long-handled brush which takes the dust
from a polished surface far better than
a broom, and does not scratch nor mar
the surface then finish with the clean
cloth wrung out of the oil and water.
Most housewives .and nearly all serv
ants, scrub oilcloth and linoleum as
tho it were a bare floor it is dusty
rather- than dirty, since everything re
mains on the top,, and 'for this reason
a clean cloth lightly damp is all that
is necessary.
At housercleaning time, linoleum
should be treated as follows: For a
room ten feet square, break two eggs
into a large bowl' or basin beat to
partly mix them, and then add one
quart of barely lukewarm water. Dip
a clean mopcloth into this preparation,
and after washing the linoleum as usual
with the cloth wrung out of milk or the
oil water, go over its entire surface
with tfte egg mixture. It will appear
quite like new linoleum, and by doing
this twice a year, the oilcloth wi)l last
for a much longer time and be kept in
a good condition.
ing to attack him again he fired and
er governors of Missouri have sent for
these same attorneys ,and have beggfe'J
them, to .allow a decent law to pass, so
that its failure might not embarrass the
party!.
This situation is common in American
states. But Folk, having a reputation
as a producer, of indictments, spdke,
with some point and emphasis when he
said--,that if passes were sent to the
legislators. he would not, bother with
the legislators, but would see that in
dictments were brought against the of
fending attorneys of the railroads!.Also
he told them to, keep away ff6m the
capital during legislative sessions. He
announped that if Bill Phelpsone of
the most notorious of the railroad lob
byists*hung around Jefferson City dur
ing the* session of the legislature some
thing important- would happen. And
when Mr,. Phelps had a few hours of
private business in Jefferson. City he
reported to the governor upon arrival
and explained what-he would be doing
while he stayed. It was Bill Phelps
who said of Senator Stone of Missouri:
Stone sucks eggs as I do, but he hides
the Shells." Phelps.is not ashamed of
his calling and only buys when, he
deems it necessary. He intimates that
Stone adds hypocrisy to his other short
comings. jg|

Last Monday Peter Wagner, of the hos

along the creek and is used by inmates
who have no pass. At a spot where the
shelving ice left open water Peter went
in! The rushing, icy water made a
very uncomfortable bed and Peter
started a Wagnerian solo in ''hi gh C.T'
Passers got him out and orderlies with
a stretcher and blankets were soon
packing him "home," and remarked
that they were "giving some fellow a
cold pack. P. W. is reported better

Just thiscongress enacted "That the

The general' orders of headquarters

for the enforcement of this law and
add that "No nroneys n^iain trust for
a pensioner shall be taken in payment
for any charge, fine or- penalty against

The board of trustees of ,the Minne

turn'over their.: pension checks when
received1
and that each inmate be pro
vided with a passbook for his account
with the home, and that $4 a month be
allowed pensioner fromiis money for
current expenses, paid in weekly,
