Champ Clark Will Do His Part.
From the sedalia Gazette.
Champ Clark, despairing of de-
feating Hon. R. II. Norton for Con-
gress in the Seventh district, has
q lit the fight and is out in Okla
homa prospecting for a location,
and preaching true democracy to
the hayward Republicans who
inhabit that new community. The
Gazette opposed MI. Clark's noml-
naticn for Congress upon the sound
Democratic principle that it is not
good policy to change representa-
tlves in congress every few years.
The principle is a good one and
ought to be strictly adhered to by the
party. One experienced congress-
man is worth q dozen new ones,
and the people have come to real
ize that important fact. As to
Mr.. Clark, the Gazette has but the
warmest feeling for him and if he
decides to locate in Oklahoma its
best wishes will follow him to his
new home. But if he remains in
the Seventh district, the Gazette
will be pleased to see Champ eat
his "crow" like a thoroughbred,
and stump the district from center
20 circumference in behalf of his
successful opponent, that gallant
young statesman, Dick Norton.

ABOUT THE HOUSE.

One Or two tablespoonfuls Of ammonia
added to pail of water will clean wind
ows better than soap.
Great improvement will be found in tea
and coffee If they are kept in glass fruit
jars instead of tin boxes.
A teaspoonful of borax added to cold
starch will make clothes sitter than any,
thing else ever tried, though If adds no
polish.
Equal parts Of ammonia and Uurpentine
will take paint out of clothing, even if it
be hard and dry. Saturate the spot as often
as necessary, and wash ont in soapsnds.
Oae teaspoonful of ammonia to a teacup-
fal of water will clean gold or silver jew
elry; a few drops of clear aqua ammonia
poured on the uIderside OF diamonds will
clean them Immediately, making them very
brilliant.
When troubled with soreness or sense of
tightness in the chest, dampen flannel
cloth with kerosene, and apply over the
spot Do not leave it on too long, or it
will blister. One night will usually re-
lieve the soreness.
Confeetioners' sugar is a very fine pow
dered sugar, called by the trade XXX.
For all candy-creams, icings, sherbets and
sweets in general this sugar is preferable
to either cut-loaf or granulated, and its
cost is about equal.
When the glass globes of chandeliers
have become smoked and grimy, soak
them in hot water, to which little sal So
da has been added Then put some am
mouia into hot water, enter the globes and
scrub briskly with stiff brush. Rinse
thoroughly and wipe dry.
