The Republicans Best Newspaper.

The N. Y. Tribune's party is just now in
a minority in the national administration;
but The Tribune makes brave showing for
the Republicans and continues to advocate
their policies with its historic ability and
energy of purpose. Any Democrat who
wants to know what the Republicans think
and intend, and wishes to obtain the infor
nation from paper whose utteIances are
authoritative, can get Republican doctrine,
pure, unde6led and fresh from the fire in
the columns of The N. Y. Tribune. The
prospectus of that Republican organ can be
found in another part of this issue of our
paper. AS an agricultural weekly The TIT
bune is an excellent paper. Its market re-
ports are especially accurate complete and
good and they commend it to all who want
current prices and the state of trade. There
are reasons why every family wishes lin ad.
dition to the necessary local newspaper,
which it must certainly have, whether it
takes others or mott to enjoy the perusal of
the great editorials, foreign letters, book re-
views, and special articles of a newspaper,
which is edited for the country at large and
devOtes its attention to matters of rational
and general moment. In their choice of
general newspapers, this winter, our read
ers will do well to consider The NelO York
Tribune. Its price is low, 81 ayeVr; and its
columns are crammed with strong, brilliant,
AMI entertaining matter. 1t is announced
that the paper will continue to print the
writings of Roswell q. Horn, of Michigan, on
the Tariff, Reciprocity, Coinage and the
Currency, and The Tribune has a strong ed
itOrial page and may non-political features
of interest; including two pages a week of
Agriculture and papers on special branches
of Farming. The Tribune has undertaken to
illustrate the news of the day and has Jn ex-

HOW TO CARE FOR SHOES. :
Beware oil Too Much Polish and Dressing
Economy In Numbers.

Beware OF Too Much Polish and Dressing.
Economy In Numbers.
III you would have your shoes retain
their pristine freshness longer than q
week, do not treat them with polishes
and dressings, each one of which claims
to be the best and least injurious. AS
soon as you come in from walk dust
them carefully with a soft flannel kept
for that purpose. Let them air, as you
do your underclothes, and when they are
dry stuff them with soft tissue paper.
Button or lace them over this. In this
way they will keep their shape for along
time.
When they are so worn that they must
be frightened, rub them with flannel
cloth and little vaseline. Apply the
grease carefully, not merely smearing it
over the surface of the leather, but rub
bling it in. When it is completely alb
sorbed, rub briskly with fresh flannel.
Do not wear your walking boots in
the house and do not walk in your slip
pers. Keep pair of shoes suitable for
each occasion. In this way, though you
may seem to have an extravagant sup
ply, you will really be displaying an
economical spirit. Shoes worn indoors
and out not only soon lose their bright
ness and neatness. but last only about
one-third as long as if they were occa-
sionally relieved.
Have pair of patent leather shoes for
your calling and ceremonious affairs, a
pair of slippers for general morning
wear and a pair of extremely dainty ones
for evening wear. With this supply
rightly treated you will find yourself
properly prepared as to shoes for any
summer emergency, and you will not
spend any more money than the woman
who has only two pairs at time, but
who has to replace those every month
or so.

Plucky Kansas Women.

ISOLATION has voted to hold convention
in Osborne this fall A vast amount of
speaking must be done in the 13 months
that remain before the amendment is

into the service all the home talent,
both men and women, who have any gift
IN that direction. Almost any woman
can tell why she wants to vote, and most
men can find words to assent to the pro-
priety and justice of the demand women
are making for the ballot. Even the

Hoy to Ebonize Wood.

To ebonizc wood, first stain with IL
decoction Of logwood, purchased from
any druggist. 1t is dissolved in warm
water until all has been taken up that
the water will hold. Application to the
wood is made freely with large, soft
bristle brush, and the surface is rubbed
with cloth to prevent the formation of
gummy coat thereon. After the article
has been left to dry for few hours the
second application, consisting of vinegar
in which quantity of nails or clear fl
ings have been soaked for several days,
is freely applied with brush.

How to Cleanse Wall Paper.

Firstremoveall the grease spots by plac-
ing folds of blotting paper over them and
ironing with a moderately warm iron,
after which brush all the dust from the
paper and clean and brighten it with
fuller's earth, mixed with water to form
a hard paste. 1t must be hard enough
to handle like bread dough. To clean
the paper take small lump of the clay,
and commencing at the top of the room
wipe it lightly downward, about half a
yard at each stroke, till the upper part
of the paper is clean, then around again
with the same sweeping stroke, always
commencing just above the end of the
stroke above. This carefully done will
show no lines and rerow the appearance
of your walls.

How to Live Long and Happy.

Aside from the important and control
ling influences of inheritance, of diet
and of temperate habits, the points to be
learned from the few statistical data at
tainable are that longevity is promoted
by quiet, peaceful life in a retired and
rural community, where there is free
dom from nervous strain and worrying
and excessively laborious toll. The bust
ness man, with increasing cares and re-
sponsibilities; the mill operative, toiling
hard to keep together the souls and
bodies of himself and his family; the
politicians, the Woodworking profession
al men, are not the chief contributors to
the centenarian ranks.

How to Make n Photographic Calendar.

An amateur photographer can use

How to Make a Pocket Lamp.

In an ounce bottle put piece of phos-

When wanted, uncork, and the action u

The glow lasts from two to five minutes

the cork, which each time should be re-
placed at once. One such lamp will last

/, HOW TO EAT.
Relative Value and y r,ount of Food For
Varied Oecupnf IONS.


Varied Occupations.
In many cases the most nutritious fare
Is both simple and cheaper than the vi
ands that are foolishly bought by people
who need economy in expenditure, be-
cause of habits of rich--which is very
often unwholesome-liying.
For example, most people think ten
derloin steak must be much more nour-
ishing article than plain steak, because
1t costs more. The same principle actu-
ates many buyers in purchasing high
priced butter, fine fiour-with much of
the nutriment bolted out of it-and deli
cate fish and vegetables.
Professor Atwater Classics the bene-
fits we get from food under two heads
protein, which nourishes the tissues,
and caloric, whence are derived heat
and energy. A round steak costing
10 cents a pound contains as much of
both as o tenderloin costing 80 cents
and is just as digestible. Oysters and
eggs are very low in protein, and butter
and sugar have none, yet how many peo-
pie think these things necessary to their
nourishment! They are richer in the
the reverse order, in the fatty elements
which make heat and energy, but Pro-
fessor Atwater's figures show that there
are foods preferable to all Of them for
both the principal benefits needed. The

The quickest and easiest way is to

off and draw it over the cats head until
the toe is well over her nose. Pour about

How 10 Treat Frosted Plants.

When pial- 5 are frosted, do not sprin-
kle them with cold water, but remove
them at once to cool, dark place where
the temperature is just above freezing
point. GrG,,Cally increase the tempera-
ture either there or by bringing them by
stages into warmer quarters, and the
chances are that many of the plants will
be saved. Keep them away from light
and heat, and if the foliage is wilted
after the frost is out Of them cut it off.
