HOUSEHOLD DISINFECTANTS.
Simple Means of PreserNing the Snn itary nnd Henithfui Condition
 of the Home.

As the comfort and health of the household depend almost entirely on cleanliness. houSekeePers should never be without some disinfectant aboat the house Garbolie acid iS an excel lent disinfectant and should be used frequently, especially in hot weather, says the New York World
 The preparation is simple: To two quarts of boiling water add two table spoonfuls of earbolie acid.
 The use of this solution few times each week will keep the sink and waste water pipes ill sanitary condi- tion.
 One and one-half pounds of cop peras added to every gallon of water makes splendid and cheap solution to sprinkle around the cellar and premises-the barn. water closet, etc.
 II is necessary to see that garbage is not thrown out on the ground to decay. All refuse should be burned or buried. If buried it will benefit the soil by supplying it with humus.
 During hot weather flies are exceed ingly troublesome They bury their eggs on meats and cooked food if not properly covered. Buy all cereals in small quantities and carefully inspect before using. Receptacles for milk, butter, bread, etc. should be frequent- ly scaded and aired and little borax or baking soda will keep them clean and pure.
 Of all defilements the most obsti- nate to get rid of S mildew and should be carefully watched for dur ing the hot weather-preyention is better than cure. Never leave articles of clothing in wet or damp places over night. Equal parts of powdered borax and starch and half as much salt moistened with lemon juice is an excellent remedy for mildew. Apply he mixture to the spot and place the garment in the sun. Repeat daily un- til the stain is gone.

The state. taker as whole, however, will not exceed 60 per cent. About fve-eighths of the crop is raised in the uplands. Last years crop is estimated at 5000 bales and the shortness of the present crop will therefore be evident. With the most favorable conditions on the uplands from now on. the crop cannot be more than onethird of last year.

Park Law Upheld.

h the case of MeMillan. ex parte. Chancellor Martin. of Little Rock. last week delivered an opinion in which he passed upon the Parks act, wbieh was passed by the recent legis- lature. McMllan. the petitioner. was convicted before the mayor of the in eorporated town of England, in Lonoke county of violating an ordinance of the town. which undertakes to put in force the provisions of what is known as the Parks act. passed by the gen eral assembly of 1901. making 1t q misdemeanor for any person, firm or partnership or corporation engaged in the sale of spirituous, ardent, vinous, malt or fermented liquors. where it is lawful for them to do so. to solicit business in such town, and prescribing penalty of not less than $50 nor more than S200. The chancellor held that the Parks law is q police regulation of the state over a subject which the state has the power to regulate and control; that it is not in conflict with any provision of the state or federal constitution; that the acts of 1897 and 1899 the general assembly empow- cred the police in towns to punish by their ordinances any act which is made misdemeanor by the state stat utes and to inflict the same penalty as is inflicted by the state law for the same offense. at the same time making such conviction by the city or town tribunal a bar to prosecution by the state
