carry on the business herself At first
she hired statesmen, but that proved
unsatisfactory and she determined to
take the block, herself When she first
applied for IA license it was refused by
the officials of the inland revenue office
This excited her Indignation, and she
employed a lawyer to convince them
that there was nothing in the laws of
precedent to prohibit woman engag-

finally compelled to take that view of
the case. Her quick wit and nimble
tongue soon made her successful and
popular. and the people in her section
of the city prefer to employ her than

Put almost equal quantities of cay

with little more salt in a flour
dredger. and shake the mixture all over
the floors. Shake out all draperies and
bedding, and brush off all stuffed fur

in "a closely shut stove, with the

The pepper kills or stupefies the fieas,
and the salt prevents the dust from
flying UP and annoying the person who
is sweeping.
