DANA'S SARSAPARILLA CURES
Hints to Housekoepers.

To prevent layer cake from sticking
grease the tins and dust in little -four.
Hot milk Is a simple means of comfort
and Is most revi,ing to one who Is fati
gued by over exertion. .
Dlsinfectants are usefu, possessions il
all households. Even the most sanitary
plumbing may need the occasional puri-
location of dsinfectants.
A German prescription for preventing
cold-sores and boils from coming to O
head Is to paint them five or ten times
daily with equal parts Of borscic acid and
water.
Sponge carpets occasionally with hot
water In which either common salt or
powdered alum has teen dissolved This
not only brightens the carpet but prevents
moths.
Lay piece of thick Canton flannel I'M
der your tablecloth Even coarse napery
will look much better quality with a
sub-cover than II spread directly over the
bare table top.
By applying little of the best carriage
oil varnish carefully with cancels hair
brush to the edges Of broken china, the
parts being neatly jointed together, the
frRc ure will, when thoroughly dry, be
hardly perceptible, and the china will
stand fire and water.
To keep glassware bright, wipe directly
from the hot suds. Tumblers used for
milk should be thoroughly rlnsed In cold
water before being immersed in hot suds,
as hot water seems to drive the milk into
the glass and give them dingy appear
ance.
The best thing to clean tinware is COM
mon soda; rub on briskly with damp
cloth, after which wipe dry.
To preserve the rich fruity flavor, do
not boil the prunes. Allow them to soak
over night In cold water, enough to cover
the prunes. Then take the prunes out and
boil the water In which they have soake d;
add sugar to taste and boil fifteen minutes
Then add the prunes and set of on the
range and allow them to simmer thirty
minutes, then set OIL to cool.
In buying fresh cod, 1t is economical to
get large one. Take the portions next

to fry for breakfast, and sprinkle the
thick part of the fish we'll with salt, or
put on Ice, to be boiled the next day. In

Look, Like a Ground Hog.

A most remarkable monstrosity was
seen on the streets at Rome, Ga, the other
dav. 1t was Jack Lacy, the ground hog
child" as he has been called from his
startling resemblance to that animal.
Lacy was born in Cobb county, Ala,
sixteen years ago. He has every
characteristic Of the animal His feet
and hands are clublike, he has no cheek
zones and the bones of his body are a
double set without any joints He can see
in the dark as well as in the light. His
only language is a grunt like that of pig.
He can only eat after his mother has
chewed the food. He never walks, but
stands in one position with continual
swinging motion, playing all the time
with a stick Though Is years old, be is
only three feet seven inches high. His
face has all the outlines Of a ground hog,
