July 1907
A Golfing Holiday
What can be more delightful than a golfing holiday? If you golf at all you should secure a copy of "Leng's Golfer's Manuel". It costs only a penny yet gives particulars of the various courses in Scotland as well as interesting information regarding famous golfers and the game in general. It is sold in all newsagents.
Dundee Police Court - A Mean Theft
A particularly despicable instance of ingratitude was revealed when Duncan McIntosh, sailmaker, Commercial Street, Dundee appeared at the bar to answer to a charge of theft. On 23rd July he met George Green, a labourer, Overgate with whom he was acquainted and when the latter heard that McIntosh had no place to go for the night he offered to give him the shelter of his house, as he himself was not to occupy it.
McIntosh received the key and was told to look after the house when the owner was away from home. On Wednesday Green returned to Dundee and found that his home had been ransacked and that a bolster, a bedcover, two pillows and a stewpan were missing and that McIntosh had been drinking. The accused got the opportunity to return the articles but did not do so. He pleaded guilty and was fined 7s 6d, the alternative being five days imprisonment.
To Wash Corsets
Corsets can be washed at home very successfully, particularly ones fitted with whalebone. Even the steels in the ribbon corsets and cheaper kinds do not rust much if dried quickly. Put the stays in a lather of warm water, melted soap and a little ammonia. Brush them rapidly all over with a nail brush, rinse in cold water and hang-out. You will be delighted with the result.
Clean with Vim
Vim for soiled hands is the handiest form of cleanser.
Vim quickly removes dirt and stains from the hands.
Vim cleans motor, bicycles and golf clubs.
It is indispensable for home cleaning.
Don't apply vim too dry.
