better supplied than during the past
two weeks and the table satisfaction
better enjoyed. The price has been
been about Z cents per pound. The
largest catch has been Off Bombay

f bother the fishermen no little by

cleaning and general indoor renOva
ton there is one part of the house tha
should not be overlooked That is tn,

Overhauling. COal-dust and othe
l dirt have accumulated, and frequentl,
4 vegetables have been scattered through
b carelessness and have begun to decay

cleansed, and then the wise house
holder will have the walls white
washed with lime in which coppera

d destroy disease germs, if any exist, an

it say that rats and mice will not in
d wade a house where the foundation
