No “Blue Laws” to Prevent
Populace Buying a Pa
per, Cigar, Etc.
Meridian, Miss.. August 3.—(Special.)
The citizens of Meridian today con
gratulated themselves that there was
no “blue law” to prevent them from
having ordinary pleasures and buying
newspapers, cigars, soda water and ice
cream, etc. It was all “much ado about
nothing,” it was a case wherein “the
King of France, with 40,000 men,
marched up the hill and then marched
dow’n again.”
It is believed that it was a case
wherein the ma>h»r was afraid the
grand jury might take some action
against him for not enforieng the
strict provisions of a law, undertaking
to regulate conduct, and which does
not deal with crime, had grown too
old to fit changed conditions. Besides
the proposition that certain things could
not be clone on the Sabbath, such as
the printing and distribution of daily
papers, is considered absurd and not
warranted by law, according to some
of the best lawyers of the city. It
is known that Judge Buckley favors
!a liberal construction of the law, and
w'hile it is bad enough it is not the
"raw head and bloody bones” that it
is construed to be in some places.
This is probably the last time that
the people of Meridian will be threat
ened with the enforcement of prac
tically discarded blue laws. The peo
ple are glad it is over.
The Smell of Life
All the good smells, the wholesome
smells, the healthy smells of life and
labor were outside the great room, says
the Atlantic Monthly.
The smell of rain upon the grass and
of the flowers consumed by their love for
the stars.
The heavy smell of smoke that coiled
out myriads of chimneys of ships and
factories and homes.
The dry smell of sawdust and the salty
smell of the iron fillings.
The odor of mazarine and granaries and
warehouses, the kindly smell of argoHles
and the rich scent of market places, so
dear to the women of the race.
The smell of new cloth and new linen,
the smell of soap and water and the smell
of newly painted paper.
The smell of grains and hay and the
smell of stables, the warm smell of cattle
and sheep that Virgil loved.
The smell of milk and wine and plants
and metals.
And all the good odors of the earth and
of the sea and of the sky, and the fra
grance of fresh bread, sweetest aroma of
the world, and the smell of human
sweat, most holy Incense to the divine
nostrils of the gods, and all the Olympian
perfumes of the heart and the brain and
the passions of men, were outside of the
great greenish room.
But within the old room there was
nothing but the smell of old books and
the dust of things decayed, and the suffo
cated exhalation of old graves and the
ashen odor of dissolution and death.

Preparing the Hectograph
“As 1 often wisli to make copies of
letters, recipes, etc., could you give im
in you Corner a recipe for preparing
a gelatin copier? I have seen these
where they could make 40 or 50 copies.
"J. W.A.”
What you want is directions for mak
ing a hectograph. The writing or draw
ing to be copied is made upon smooth'
paper with aniline ink; then pressed
face downward, upon a metal plate
coated with gelatin. A number of im
pressions may be made from one set of
the transferred drawing or inscription.
We have members who in days gone
by sent in exact directions for prepar
ing the hectograph. Watch the letter
box for proof that they will do it again
to oblige you and myself.
To Clean White Voile
"Will yon please tell me how to clean
a white embroidered voile dress? I
have been told that washing will ruin
it. How can a ring he removed from
a tan wool coat which was made by
cleaning with chloroform?
"DORA B."
As a correspondent has told us late
ly, voile shrinks woefully when washed.
If you wish to clean it at home you
may try this method, which I have
used successfully upon line woolen
stuffs, as well as upon fabrics of mixed
wool and silk: Ray the gown upon a
table covered with a white cloth. Tak
ing a breadth at a time, go over all
of it with a soft brush dipped in a
mixture of talcum powder, two-thirds,
and fine borax, one-third. Mix well
and rub into every thread of the voile,
always with the nap. Having gone over
the stuff once, shake the powder out
gently without beating, and apply a
fresh supply in the same way. Iyenve
this on all night, covering to keep out
dust. Two days are better than one, if
you have time and patience. Then shake
and brush out the powder. It should
take the grime with It. If the gowns
were not embroidered you might clean
with the best quality of English mag
nesia. It has a tendency to dull the
luster of silk. The ring Is not easily
removed. Chloroform should not have
left It. Take it to a professional
cleaner.
Color on Lace Collar
“Will you kindly tell me how I may
remove the color from a lace collar
that was put away in a box where was
some pink face powder? The powder
was spilled over It. I have already
tried boiling It in buttermilk. The col
' lar Is Irish linen thread. SID."
Soak again in sour milk all night.
Next day after rinsing boll In strong
cream of tartar water for half an
hour. Rinse and lay in the sun for
10 hours, wetting hourly with cream
of tartar water or lemon juice. If the
stain still lingers sun for the second
day, wetting as before. A weak solu
tion of oxalic acid may do tile work
more quickly, but It may rut tin
threads of the lace unless you rinse
It within 10 minutes after the appli
cation.
Recipe for Dandelion Wine
''Would you please send me the recipe
fo rmaklng dandelion wine? I cut it
out of the paper, but lost it. T have
looked everywhere for It, but have
failed to locate it. KATHRYN F."
As you have learned through the let
ter mailed under your stamp, It Is con
trary to our rules to send recipes by
post. I repeat the recipe for dandelion
wine: Steep dandelton flowers in boil
ing water for five minutes and strain
off the liquid, pressing the flowers hard
Sweeten to taste and add brandy in
the proportion of a pint fonevery four
gallons of liquid. Put into uncorked
bottles and keep in a cool place until
fermentation ceases. Draw off and re
bottle.
Caution in Using Gasoline
“Some time ago 1 read a well writ
ten letter In the Corner, signed Mrs.
P. S. C., headed ‘An Easy Way to
Wash Clothes.’ I feel impelled to send
a word of warning, ns the daughter of
a dear friend lost her life through
this method. The water was allowed
to get too hot over a gasoline stove
before the kerosene end turpentine
mixture was added, and an explosion
followed. The poor girl was horribly
burned and died within a week.
“MHS. P. E. Y,r
Your warning Is welcome. We can
not impress upon the housewifely mind
too strongly the absolute necessity of
| using gasoline with the irtmost cau
tion. The mixture in question should
not have been mixed while the boiler
was upon the stove. It should have
boon taken quite a way from tho tire
before the turpentine and kerosene
were stirred 1/ito the water. I doubt it
it should ever have gone over a gaso
line range.
Written in 1537
“Can you tell me the value of a book
that I have? It is ‘The History of Flor
ence.' written by the famous Nicholas
Machlavelll In Italian in the year 1537;
was translated Into English in 1674
The book I have was printed on Feb
ruary 2, 1674. The book is in good
condition. It. Is certainly genuine. It
was bought by my father (a book
lover) over 50 years ago.
“MRS. R. II. I.”
Will some member versed In tho
values of ancient volumes hazard i
iguess at the worth of this work? You
are not far from Chicago. Why not
take your history to a reputable book
seller and get his appraisal?
Formula for Curing Moats
“Will you kindly print in your valued
Corner the regulation formula for cur
ing hams and shoulders as practiced
iu Virginia and Kentucky?
"ROBERT B.”
Mix together four and a half pounds
of salt, one pound of brown sugar, one
ounce of saltpeter and three gallons
of water. Boll gently for half an hour, !
skimming the scum off as It rises. Let !
it get cold; put the ham Into a wood
en tub or cask and cover with the
pickle. Leave il thus covered for 10
•lays. Then wash off the brine, lay th •
meat upon sticks laid on dean stones
in the bottom of the cask and rub It
on all sides with the dry mixture in
dicated above, leaving out tlio water.
Leave in the cask five days, pouring
off the liquid accumulating in the bot
j tom every day or two. Pour this back
lover the ham, turning it over ami
over in the liquid. Now take the meat
out and wash off the pickle. While it
is wet dip it in dry bran. Bo sure
that it is well coated with the bran
and hang it up to smoke, the hock
downward. Keep up a steady smudg"
for three weeks or more, taking caru
not to heat the meat. Use hickory
chips and sawdust for the fire. You
need a smokehouse for the worH^. Ono
sees these still upon Virginia planta
tions. One may be improvised by build
ing a hut of boards with an earthern
floor. If you have room iu you back
yard or garden, or choose to put up
your own hams iu the country, there
is no reason why you should not grat
ify your whim. If you suspect insects
I (“skippers' ), before packing down the
! meat lay in the hot sun for a day,
turning often. Then brush off the bran
and wrap the ham in stout brown pa
per. Fit it closely and cover the pa
lu-t with bees’ wax and resin melted
together. Lastly, sew up in stout mus
lin and whitewash the muslin. Hams
cured in this way and protected from
tho iilr will keep for years. I have
eaten ham i'U years old that was sweet
and firm. Select young pork for name,
and let It be perfectly fresh when you
commence the process.
Cleaning a Panama Hat
