In the “Exchange" department of the July Woman’s Home Companion—a department devoted to household suggestions made by contributors out of their practical experience—appear the following suggestions as to the best ways of removing fruit stains. The -st is contributed by a New York worn, and the second by an lowa woman: "Whenever I find a fruit stain on tablecloths or napkins, I wet it with a little camphor. If this is done before the s ain has been wet with water, the stain will entirely disappear when the articles are laundered. To remove fruit stains from table linen easily and surely, simply motsten the stain with pure glycerin before sending clothes to to the laundry. Twenty-five cents' worth of glycerin will probably last the ordinary family a year or more, at least.” GIFTS- -for the Graduate for the s>.ower and for the wedding st the ART STORE. tt —. o-— ——— PL . 5 FOR SALE—Egg. mango. t>■ c, cabbage, celery, vatus, al Were bisters, 524 Market st., Phone 347. 134t6

WHAT THOMAS DID. Thomas H. Perkins began life as a bey before the mast. By thrift and industry he built up a business that made him a fortune of $1,500,000. The idea that a man can jump into a fortune is a strange, pop- ’ ular delusion. It can't be done. The men who are the leaders in finance have grown into it—have worked hard and have invariably spent less than they made. Say you are earning a certain sum of money each week. Make a resolution to put aside in a National Savings Account at the First National Bank each week regularly without fail one-tenth of your income. One-tenth Iyr. 5 yrs. 10 yrs.
