The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-06-02
THE CYCLE NEARLY COMPLETED

The history of this. Country appears to
show that panics and recoveries Jun in
about twenty-year periods. There was
the panic of 1878, followed by five years
of depression; the beginning .of recovery
in 1877; the full tide of recovery in 1879,
followed by period of prosperity lasting
until 1892. Then came the panic of 1903,
followed by the period of depression
which we are now experiencing. To some
there are rs yet no signs of improvement
discernable. while to--others there j. nj
ready a-fant glimmer of dawn. Many
are looking forward to the passage of the
tariff bill as the starting point of new
period of prosperity. But whether from
that or some other causes,it is quite prob
able that history will repeat itself, and
that in the fall of the present year, or the
beginning of 1898, we shall witness n
notable Improvement, followed by per-
haps ten or dozen years of great pros
perity. The cycle is nearly completed. =

Salt in the Household.

Besides being a necessary ingredient
In most kinds of cookery an appetizing
addition to many articles Of raw food,
and the prime necessity in catching a
bird, the laundress puts a trifle OF salt
In her starch, adds it in larger quanti-
ties to the water in which she washes
ginghams and other colOred fabrics, rubs
1t well into the spots where OXalic acid
has been applied to remove iron stain
to neutraize the acid; or smOOths the
flat-irOn by rubbing it upon salt sprin-
killed. on bit of paper
The housewife adds a pinch to the
water in her bouquet-hOlder that the
flowers may retain their freshness;
scOurs the tea or coffee stains from the
cups with 1t; has portion put in white
wash to make it adhere more closely to
the surface where applied; obtains a
good result by throwing handful into
the dull coal fire with no explosive re-
suits; or if the wood fire gets beyond her
control and the chimney catch fire, a
quantity thrown into the stove serves as
a damper to the flames; il the fire brick
gives way in her cooking range, a paste
of equal parts of salt and wood ashes
mixed with cold water and given little
time to harden we'll supplies the loss;
for cleaning any article Of brass or cop
per salt with vinegar or a slice Of lemon
is called into USE and followed by brisk
polishing with a soft, dry towel
In the nurses department the home
doctor" applies the strong solution Of
salt and vinegar to the sprain; the
heated salt bags, or salt mingled with
hops, for the relief Of severe pain; for
a strong poultice beats together salt and
the yOlk Of an egg; for inflamed eye
lids or slight spots of skin poisoning
uses the weak solution of salt and water;
applies dry salt as a dentifrice, cleans
ing the teeth and having most salutary
effect on the gums; as dry shampoo,
rubbing salt into the hair at night to be
cOmbed out in the morning, leaving a
clean scalp; administers salt straight
for hemOrrhage of the lungs or stOm-
ach; or a spoonful in glass Of cold
water for nausea for slight burns and
fresh cuts binds on, the affected parts
moistened salt; for neuralgia of feet or
limbs bathes those parts with the strong
solution of salt in water as hot as bear
able.
The testimony of the good book" is
that salt Is goOd,' and she who holds
the threefold position of housewife,
nurse and laundress (as do many wives)
must surely have often proven this true,
and realized the terseness and strength
of the utterance.- HOusekeeper.

LETTER BOX.

To My Dea Departed Friend, M. e. 3
One by one our friends are leaving
For a brighter home above;
Then our hearts are filled with grievins
For the loss of those we love.
Weloved our friend, so lately taken,
And her bright example here
We loved her for her faith mistaken,
That grew stronger every year.
For the Master she did labor
In her kind and gentle way,
Trusting to her precious Saviour,
And His teachings did obey;
And like the snufl1ng of a candle
He gently called her life away.
Now we leave her with the angels
And her Fathers care on high;
In that home, oh, may we meet her,
And dwell together by and by.
A few more years and we shall follow
And like her lie beneath the sod;
But 1 fear our steps have faltered
From the path that she has trod.
Farewell, dear aged and honored friend
With all thy pleasant greetings.

victory for ODD Fellows.

At the sitting of the State Board of
Taxation in Newton, Sussex county, on
Wednesday, a decision of considerable
Importance to Odd Fellows and other
charitable organizations in the State was
given.
The assessor OF Belvidere had made an
assessment of 81, 255 on property of Gov
ensnt Lodge, No. Is, 10. o. F., of Belvi-
dere, consisting of furniture, temporary
investments, bank stock, mortgages and
notes. The lodge appealed to the State
Board of Taxation, claiming that it was
a charitable fund and could not be
assessed, as it was held to assist sick and
disabled members. Evidence was taken
at Belvidere and the board rendered it's
decision, holding that the property of the
lodge could not be assessed, as it was for
charitable purposes.
The decision was rendered under the
act of 1894. Three members voted to set
aside the assessment and Major Lsntz
voted that the property was assessable.
Several similar cases are pending in the
State.
