Helpful Hints.

An excellent lotion for chilblains is
made of one part spirits OF wine and i've
parts rosemary. Battle the parts affected

packed around water pipes to prevent
freezing.
There is nothing superior to hot soup
for supper when school children depend
upon their basket for the noon lunch
Moisten with molasses equal quantities
of red lead and cornmeal. Spread the
mixture on broken earthern ware and
place it where the eookroaches congre'
gate. They will eat and retreat.
A few baked potatoes left over may be
dipped into boiling water a moment, then
set in the oven long enough to heat
through, they are almost as nice as when
fresh.
Saturate the paint spots on wool
fabric with spirits OF turpentne, and let 1t
remain several hours, when. by rubbing
the spots betwet the hands. the paint
will crumble away from the material.
One gallon Of rain water, one-half
ounce Of powdered borax, pint OF oat-
meal. Let stand a day or two, then drain
off the liquid, leaving the oatmeal. This
wash for the hands may have little
alcohol, if desired to keep it for any length
of time.
To cure a sly take the white Of an egg
on saucer and rub into it a small pinch
of powdered alum 1t will become curd.
Put it between two pieces of white lawn
and bind over the eye before retiring for
night In the morning the sly will be

Items for Housewives.

All canned fruit should be kept in a
COOL dark place.
Have all flannel or broadcloth goods
sponged before making up to prevent
spotting.
A small box of quicklime kept in the
pantry will tend to keep the air pure.
A little ammonia in the water will be
found very effective in washing greasy
frying pans and such ware.
You will find it to your advantage to
keep a box of powdered borax on the sink
shelf. n little added to the water in
which dish towels are washed will help
much to keep them clean. What is OF
equal importance, it will keep the hands
soft and Smooth.

The Jefferson county delegation to the congressional convention went up to Blount Springs yesterday afternoon. They wanted to be on hand in time to see all the fun going on and to take part in it.

 As MT. Underwood has forty-one out of the sixty -one delegates instructed for him there will be no fight in the convention. It will be merely ratification of the peo- pIe's choice as expressed at the primaries and beat meetings two weeks ago.

CULLMAN, Sept. 3.-[Staff Correspond encel A majority of the delegates to the Seventh Congressional district are already in Callman and are practically unanimous for the renom- ination of Deuson. They know that he is democrat, and firmly assert that a man of that faith who went into the thick est of the fight two years ago a nd oVercame an adverse majority of 4500 is clearly en- titled to all the rewards the party can be- stow upon him. A large number of his most enthusiastic delegates are staunch supporters of the national administration, yet they indorse him and will do their ut most to return him to Washington, having faith in his fealty to the tenets of democ- racy as expounded in all the declarations of that party from Jefferson and Jackson down to that enupciated at Chicago in 1892.
 Colonel Denson in discussing matters with his friends and others in this district said among other things that It had been stated throughout Alabama that he did not want the democratic nomination. He asked: "Does it look like don't'want it when l am here doing my level best to get it.'
 Referring to financial questions he said "I am toting skillet up here in the Seventh, and Iiwant to. say it is none of your old twoegged spiders that can't stand alone. It is made of both gold and silver, and right in its bottom you will find stamped, so all can read, IS to. r."
 He strongly favors free coinage of sil- yer and does not want the United States to wait for any other country on earth on this question. He advocates bimetallic currency a. a ratio Of IS to 1. He will be nominated Witeput much opposition, and odds are big that he will go back to con- gress with a rousing majority
