FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Caw* of the Teeth, We all know that dally brushlnff to necessary for the teeth, but,there are various ways of brushing. Be sure to brush inside as well as outside and up and down as well as across the teeth. Balt to excellent for the gums and teeth, but should not be used too frequently. Use fine salt, as the coarse will scratch the enamel. Prepared chalk, with soap, is recommended to remove tartar, as are also the ashes of a good cigar, but neither of these should be used of tenet than once a week, soap and water being sufficient for the dally cleansing. Mold In Cellars. "Unslacked lime,” says the Scientific American, “Is best suited for removing mold In cellars. It is blown, in the shape of a fine powder, on the walls of the cellar and into the joints and crevices by means of the bellows or else thrown on with the hand. The walls must be damp; dry walls have to be well moistened previously. The lime slakes with the adhering water and kills all organisms. On the day following the walls are washed off, and, as experience has proved, the cellar will remain free from mold for at least two years.” The Neck Beautlfd. When a neck is extra brown, rub It well with lemon juice. This Is very whitening. To fill out the muscles of the neck drink a glass of water very slowly with the head thrown well back. Puffy places under the eyps are almost invariably caused by some kidney trouble. Sip six glasses of water a day and you will find the hollow places In your throat will be filled out and the puffs will scatter. Go to bed early, and get up early too. Oversleeping Is as injurious as not having sufficient rest—Health Culture. Always Ready Monsetrap. Over the top of an earthenware jar I fasten a piece of writing paper, tightly binding it with a string or an elastic band. In the center of the paper cut a cross, as shown In the Illustration. Set the jar in the closet and suspend by a string a piece of toasted cheese over the center of the jar. If there are

HOMEMADE MOUSETRAP.

any mice In the closet the bait will attract them, but just as soon as the first mouse reaches the center of the paper he will drop into the jar, and the paper will fly back in place again, ready for the next comer. A trap arranged in the same manner can be used for the capture of field and harvest mice, which make odd and amusing pets. A barrel covered with stiff brown paper can be used for common rats, but they will gnaw out unless the barrel is partly filled with water. Uses of Charcoal. Charcoal is one of the greatest purifiers of water that we have. Water or any substance allowed to percolate through It will be freed of all animal organisms or foreign particles. It is one of the best sweeteners of the breath. After a hearty meal ft is a splendid thing for the stomach If added to it Is a little ginger. It Is excellent with which to cleanse the teeth, for it removes fungous growth that many tooth powders fail to touch. It relieves pain caused by a burn. Removing Soperfiuoui Hair. Superfluous hair, that most distressing of all blemishes to a woman, can be entirely removed by a piece of toilet pumice stone. It must be passed firmly but lightly over the skin, care being taken not to chafe it. It Is better to do this at bedtime, afterward applying a little cream to the parts (without rubbing), which should be left on all night. Tortoise Shell Comba. To polish tortoise shell combs first rub with finely powdered charcoal, mixed with water, and then with prepared chalk, moistened with vinegar. Polish with the palm of the hand and dry chalk. Waaklag Colored Stockings. In washing colored hose allow • gill of vinegar to each two quarts of water used for rinsing and stockings will not be streaked or look faded. Black hose particularly keep their color much better. Minced Liver. Cut liver into small pieces and fry with salt pork; cut both into square bits, nearly cover with water, add pepper and a little lemon juice; thicken the gravy with fine breadcrumb* and •erve. Caramel Frosting. One cupful of brown sugar, half a cupful of milk, butter the else of a small egg; boll twenty minute*; stir until cold and flavor with vanilla. A Cooklag Hint When mixing flour for thickening add a pinch of salt to the flour before mixing with water, and It mixes much mor*, smoothly, without lumps.

Royal Baking Powder is made of Grape Cream of Tartar* Absolutely Pure. Makes the food more Wholesome and Delicious.

Chizum, secretary to the superintendent of the Monon road, at Lafayette. The marriage is said to have taken place last June, at Lafayette, but was kept a secret from all but the groom’s mother until now. The Cleveland Ladies’ Orchestra, the first number of the Public Library lecture course, was given at the M. E. church Wednesday evening, and was an excellent entertainment. The entertaiment was given at the church because of the Cecil Comedy Co., a medicine show, having the opera house engaged for the entire week. A. J.. Bellows of Carpenter township was here Monday and Tuesday looking for a suitable bouse to rent, with the intention of moving here. He found none that just suited but may be able to later on. He wants to rent for awhile but will probably buy or build after he has been here for a time and looked about a bit. The Hebron News is authority for the statement that a Wheatfield grain dealer took in 9,000 bushels of buckwheat one day recently, paying 50 cents per bushel therefor. Buckwheat has proven a good crop here this season and many farmers who lost out on corn and oats by reason of wet weather, made good by sowing buckwheat. White County Democrat: After Dec. sth Brookston will be a dry town. Two saloons have already been closed and the license of the third will expire on the above date. Chalmers is now dry,, both saloon licenses have expired. Burnettsville and Idaville having long been without saloons. Some think it is only a question of time when the other towns of the county will join in the water wagon procession. Brook Reporter: Joe Warner of Fowler, was talking about one phase of the saloon question when he was up here the other day.. He was asked alxiut the difference in trade in a “wet” and “dry” town, Fowler having had the experience of both. Saia Mr. Warner: “A good thing to go by is the receipts at the local freight office. Never in the history of Fowler has the freight receipts been as heavy as this year. Mr. Warner is right. This tells the story in itself.

The box social at the Parochial school was largely attend, the receipts being a little over $39. fMra.

The farmers’ institute has been in progress all week except Thursday, but with only a fair attendance. Tuesday there was quite a large crowd in town to hear Gov. Hanly, but he failed to appear and of course there was a great deal of disappointment in consequence. Just what explanation is given for his non-appearance we are unable to learn. Hebron News: The business men of Demotte have been doing a great deal of work in bringing the matter of opening up a new road on a direct line from Hebron to that place. The proposed road seems to meet with favor and it can be shown that greater advantages are to come by the building of this four mile strip. The matter should have immediate attention. JA fine “April shower” came Mbnday night, and Tuesday was warm and balmy, like a day in spring. At night, however, the mercury took a sudden drop and Wednesday was quite cold with a few light flurries of snow, about the first snow flakes of the season. Thanksgiving was pleasant and the mercury was down below the freezing point all day, but the ground was bare. Cooney Kellner is also doing a little drilling and blasting out at the Iroquois south of town in enlarging and deeping his ice pond. He has had a steam drill at work there for several days and will put down about fifty holes, each six feet deep, and “shoot” them all at once. Cooney is spending considerable good money in preparing for the ice business and it would seem that he ought to be able to furnish the best ice next season ever sold in Rensselaer.He has built a large new ice house on the site of the former Warner ice house, which with several acres of ground he lately purchased, and has thoroughly cleaned out the old pond or river bfed which will be cut off by the new channel, but which he will, by the use of gates, be able to fill or empty at will. The ice that forms on this pond now should be about as near pure as it is possible for it to be.
