Household Hints.

Save all the paper bags. They are most
convenient to draw over cans of fruit to shut
out the light; the hand can also be slipped
into one when cleaning the stove, as well as
in doing much other household work which
Is hard on the hands.
Fine shavings from soft pine wood make
very pleasant pillow that may be utilized
for comfort if you have a hammock.
For damp closets or cellars put shallow
dishes of unslacked lime and change often.
Vinegar will remove lime from carpets.
To clean articles of papier mache wash
them with little lukewarm water and
soap, after which rub them vigorously with
sweet oil.
It saves time and leather to have a broom,
brush and dustpan for every floor in the
home.
Before beginning to seed raisins cover
them with hot water and let them stand 10
minutes. The seeds can then be removed
easily.
To keep salt dry for table use mix tea.
spoonful of cornstarch with cupful of salt.

Before cleaning carpets rugs beat them
thoroughly on line, chalk out all the
stains and dirty parts and well rub with Il
large house flannel dipped in pail Of
water, in which pint of OK gall has been
either left for day to dissolve in cold
water or thrown into hot water and used
when lukewarm. To rinse off, add little
| liquid ammonia to the clean water and rub
dry with towels or rough cloths. The exact
quantity of OK gall and the amount of rub
bling much depend, of course, on the size
and quality of~the carpet, it's dirt and deli
cate coloring. Ok gall is also sometimes
effectively combined with fuller's earth Or
mixed with one-quarter of a pound of soft
soap to half a gallon of soft water. 1t is
important to have the boards of the table
or floor on which the cleaning process is
carried out thoroughly clean and to pre-
serve the damp carpet from any dust until
dry

Polish For q Stained Floor,

Where the high gloss of a vanished sur
face is considered an objection the floor,
after being stained, may be polished with
beeswax and turpentine. It takes some
hard work and plenty of elbow grease to
get anything like good surface on the
floor, and most domestic polishers are sat-
isfled with what they are pleased to call an
eggshell polish-in other words, very little
polish at all.
Instead of wax polishing, the compare
lively old fashioned method Of oil polish
ing may be adopted. Linseed oil-raw or
boiled-is rubbed into floor with a rub
Der and the more rubbing the better for the
look of the floor when finished.

Is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR-don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD When
your system is in All condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR it is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the
powders but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. Look for it.

Therefore He Viii Not Contemplate Any
Possibility of Har.
LONDON, ENG, Dec. 2L-Unlted States
EN- bassador Bayard was asked by re-
porter of the United Associated Presses
to-day if he sustained the views expressed
by Secretary of State Olney in his state-
ment concerning Cuba. Mr.. Bayard re-
piled that he did not wish to express an
opinion in an official capacity, but he
would say that Mr.. Olney had only quoted
from the constitution OF the United States,
as ex-officio commander-in-chief of the
army and navy and the making of all
Federal appointments.
Mr. Bayard was asked what he thought
of the reports received from Madrid, that
the Spanish war officers were preparing
pamphlet for distribution among the off,
GERS of the army and navy containing in
condition of the coast defenses of the
United States, to which question the EN-
bassador replied that he was not suffi-
GENTLY acquainted with military and
naval matters to venture an opinion, nor
did he desire to contem plate the possibil-
ity of war between the United States and
Spain. The United States. he added, had
great natural protection in the shoals
along her coasts and the condition and
conformation of the entrances to her
largest ports. He did not believe that
there would be war, but that the matters
at issue would be settled amicably.
