HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Use soapy water when making starch,
and the irons will not stick, while it
gives the clothes a glossier appearance.
If ink is spattered on woodwork it
may be taken out by securing with
sand and water and a little ammonia
then rinse with soda water
SODA soap is made in this wise: To
five pounds of grease add three pounds
of washing soda and four gallons of
boiling water, stirring the mixture
every day until the soap forms; then re-
duce it to the consistency of soft soap
with water.
If you viii place few tonqua beans,
broken in halves, into the drawers and
wardrobes where underwear, table and
bed linen, gloves, handkerchiefs, etc,
are kept, they will impart to these arti-
cles most delicate odor which will be
extremely agreeable. Jewel boxes and
other receptacles may also be scented
with them. They are easily obtained
of ruggists.-Good Housekeeping

There were $4,000 racing enthusiasts

great handicap. Morris park held a.
600 on Memorial day and on the Satur-
day of the Suburban handicap, with
fair weather, it is probable there will
be 10000 at Sheepshead Bay. New
York thus pays tribute to fine sport.

Talking of patent medicines-yOu
know the old prejudice. And the doc
tors-some of them are between YOU and
US. They would ike yoa to think that
what's cured thousands won Il cure you.
You'd believe in patent medicines if they
didn't profess TO cure ereryihinq-and
so, between the experiments OF doctors,
and the experiments Of patent medicines
that are sold only because there's mon
ey in the stuff you lose faithin ~s1y-
thing.
And, you can't always tell the pres
cripuon that cures by what you read in
the papers. So, perhaps, there's no
better way to sell a remedy, than to tell
the truth about it. and take the risb of
its doing just what it is Processes to do.

onslaught of 10000 stamping and cheer

much improved since last year, will
give every animal in the race an oppor-

is the associations announcement of
the great event:
