"Wets" and "Drys" Are In Spirited Battle to Win,

Lafayetto, Ind., Arril 23. The local option campaign hero, though spirited, is not aa fierce as it was at Logansport. Lafayette never g-ets excited over anything no public question ever splits it wide open and town meetings on any public matter are seldom held. Nevertheless, both the "wets" and the "drys" are very much in earnest over the saloon question. The "wets" have an organization known as the Tippecanoe County Taxpayers' League, and the "dry" organization is known as the Tippecanoe County Local Option League, and both headquarters are busy places. E. B. Vawter has charge of the "dry" campaign, and he is assisted by every minister in the city and some outside the city. In addition to the churches, some of the best politicians in thin county are perfecting an organization for the "drys" and the temperance forces are in position for a red-hot fight. The "wets" are not sleeping, either. They have a good organization, and K. G. McDowell of Danville, 111., Is looking after the "wet" end of the cam

paign. Mr. McDowell was in chargo-cf the "wet" forces at Logansport. Contention f'TVt' and "Drys," Of course, the two organizations are at hammer and tongs, and the leaders on each side are saying things about one another. The temperance people are painting in vivid colors the horrors of the drink habit and the misery that whisky brings. The "wets" point out that if the saloons will go it means a loss of revenue, and, with loud acclaim, they declare the saloonkeepers are taxpayers and help keep up the "drys" with a list of the saloonkeepers of Tippecanoe county, showing that the amount of taxes they pay totals only $443.06 that some of them do not pay any taxes at all and the blow that "almost killed father" was the showing from the county auditor's office that Steve Hannagan, the leader of the "wets," head of the Liquor Dealers' association and bos3 of the council, paid in 1908 the total sum of $3.83 in taxes. But the real issue here is the question of the injury that the saloons are doing Purdue university. Purdue, though a most important part of the city of Lafayette, has never taken any particular part in the affair of that city, it has not mixed in politics, never has been a part of its municipal life. Now, however, the faculty and officers of the university are taking a part in this campaign and are urging that the city of Lafayette be made "dry" because they believe that if this is done it will be to the benefit of the institution. One Saloon to Two Hundred People. There are in Lafayette at this time, according to the books of the city controller, 101 saloons. There were 103. but four have gone out of business

either through the expiration or the revocation of licenses. Lafayette has a population of about 20,000 people in other words, there Is one saloon to about every 200 population, a ratio that does not exist anywhere else in Indiana. Every one knows that saloons are a bad thing for a college town a bad thing for the college and a bad thing for the student body. The officers and faculty of Purdue for years have chafed under the saloons of this city. They realized that they were a detriment to the institution, but never until now have they had an opportunity to assist in getting rid of the saloons, and for that reason they are taking an active part in trying to put them out of business purely as a defensive proposition.

! f If an accident, which occurred to ! Michael Tascaly, night fireman at the 1 pumping station, had been a little j more severe, Hammond would have been presented with another argument, and a strong one in favor of at least two men at the pumping station. j While taking coal out of the bunkers last Tuesday night, a heavy piece of coal fell on Mr. Pascaly's foot, injuring it so severely that he could barely hold out his shift. lie was unable to work last night.

As Air. Pascalj- is the only man at the pumping station during the night it is obvious that Hammond is greatly more endangered during the night than during the day. An accident, or a hold-up or any other unforseen circumstance to incapclate the night man

would leave the city helpless, in case j of a fire. There might be some water pressure, but possibly not enough to ! protect the city in a big fire. j

FOR WOMEN AND HOME.

Eggs will cook much more evenly if the frying pan is covered. To clean linoleum, wash first with a little warm water, and polish by applying milk. Neuralgic headache can often be cured by applying to the forehead a poultice made of scraped ginger and hot water. Cold sores can be cured the quickest by constant applications of pure rosewater. Add a few drops of camphor if you have it handy. A few trays of charcoal set on the floor and shelves of a damp cellar will make the air pure and sweet, and take away the musty smell. Celery may be kept fresh several

days if after it has been cleaned and washed, it is put in an ordinary glass fruit jar, covered tight and placed in a cool place. When cleaning paint, do not use hot water, as this destroys the varnish, and will cause the paint to wear off. The water used should never be more than barely lukewarm. In canning fruit use the extra juice that cannot be put in the jars to make jelly. Add enough dissolved gelatin to the juice to make it mold when cold. Serve it with whipped cream. Do not throw away old and bent tacks. They are useful in cleaning Jars and bottles. Half fill the jars with hot soapsuds, put in the tacks, shake the bottle vigorously and then rinse with clear water. Wormwood boiled In vinegar and applied as hot as can be borne on a sprain or a bruise is an invaluable remedy. The affected member should afterwards be rolled in flannel bandages to retain the heat. The brown streak around the neck, which is often caused by wearing high

collars, may be completel yremoved by using frequently the juice of cucumbers, or by tying thin slices of cucumber about the neck when retiring. To take off stains on tan boots, apply a paste of Fuller's earth and methylated spirit, and rub it off when it has become dry. Two or three applications may be necessary. Afterward polish the boots in the usual manner. Home-made wine, to be good, should never be tapped for drinking until it is at least one year old. At the end of that time it should lie bottled and allowed to remain for another year, if possible, to have it in fine condition. The white spots so often seen on finger nails are due to bruises, and can be promptly removed by applying a mixture of refined pitch and gum myrrh. Put it on the nails before going to bed and rub it off with a little olive oil i nthe morning.

We have made unusual preperations this year in our Furniture department.. Careful selections have been made from many of the best known furniture markets of America. Owing to the hard times, we have bought at extremely low prices and we are willing that the freinds of this house shall profit by our good fortune. For this reason we have quoted unusual prices, but we want quick action. We illustrate a few of the bargains to be had here and from these you can form some idea of the many good things we have on sale just at this season. When bargains in these goods will be most appreciated. We take this occasion to say that in brass and iron beds, we have a' line bigger and better than is generally seen in this section. These prices range from 1.98 up. We have a large line of practically all the articles illustrated. You will find here the very best goods, late in styles and designs and everything guaranteed. The furniture we offer is thoroughly seasoned and will last. We can sell you goods cheaper than the mail order houses and lower than the same goods can be bought in Chicago. The mail order houses have made millions of dollars within a few years and the question is, how did they do it. As for Chicago, our expenses are so very low that we can and do undersell those houses and this is well known.
