ARTEsIAN WATER.
uNnxCnLLnD FOR COOKING,
WASHING, BATHING AND
DRINKING PURPOSES,

What those Who Have Tried II
Think of It.
Mr.. J d. Bell
After using the water from the ar.
tesian well on your premises, we find
it as follows
l. 1t Is pure and soft
2. 1t is the best water We have cvei
used In the cooking Of vegetables, Of
it takes less fuel than any other, and
quicker cooked.
3. 1t is superior for washing pur
poses as it requires less soap, less Juei
and less rubbing to eradicate the dirt.
4. It has medical properties that have
relieved the following troubles
First, sour stomach.
Second, weak eyes.
Third, roughness of the skin or
hands, face and the body. Also, i,
has cured sores that have heretofore
been troublesome.
s. 1t will not nauseate even after
drinking it as it comes out Of the well
direct, but tastes pleasant, the more a
person drinks the better they like it.
6. As whole, it is long-felt want
supplied in copious amounts to beneH,
the people who are fortunate enough te
get it. Yours truly,
G. r. & H. A. ROBINSON.
Washing is not my forte. l was
never able with the hardest rubbing Of
which l was capable to see the dirt
como out Of articles that I washed, but
without soap and with very little rub.
bling the water from Bells artesian
well clcansed blankets very much
soiled.
like it very much ss drinking
water and find it unexceptionable for
bathing; it has most soothing effect.
1t is also most excellent for washing
the head, and, I think, if used in time
and regularly, might prevent the hair
turning gray.
1t is just the right temperature for
washing the hair and woolen garments.
MRS. SOPHIE LANE.
We have used the water from your
artesian we'll for both cooking, wash.
ing and drinking purposes, and can
safely say it is the softest, best water
we have ever used. Meat and vegeta.
bles will cook in half the time, when
it is used, than it takes to cook them in
ordinary we'll water.
Yours respectfully,
j. NJ. and M. A. TAYLOR.
My experience is that for cooking
and washing purposes it can't be CT.

WASHINGTON, D, O., Dec, 9,-The only
incident on the organization oithe House
to-day to distinguish 1t from all like
occasions was the defeat Of the caucus
nominee for Chaplain by the present
Incumbent, the blind Chaplain, Rev, w,
II. Milbun, of Illinois. This result had
been foreshadowed in caucus itself by
several Republicans announcing their
intention not 10 vote for Dr.. Ramsdell,
80 that the action created little stir,
Nevertheless 1t made things lively ior
short time and Milburu was only
elected after an hours wrangllng, several
calls for the yeas and nay'sRnd two
divisions. The final vote was 1865 to l55.
Ia spite Of all the talk about revolu.
tlonary proceedings in the organization
by Democratic journals, nothing trans,
pirpd to Indicate that such a design had
been considered, Not the slightest OBJ
lection was raised to the holder OF any
certificate, and though one or two West
Yirginians behaved as though their seats
were unCOnfoTtably warm, they hadno
reason to be troubled. Their troubles
aru.1eAlLved for tho near future.
