There Is a man in this town who

get drunk because it makes a fellow
feel SO good getting over it. But he

try the remedy before the year is
over.

he retains him and could not 90 to

! Fleas generally are introduced into q
house by means Of pet animals. Some
times they come rs an epidemic, 80 to
speak, no one knowing whence or how.
Infesting carpets, walls. upholstered
furniture and clothing, the pest leaves
the victim small ease Of mind and
body. When present in such numbers,
tho safest and quickest relief lies in
consulting men who make 1t business
to clean houses Of such torments. There
are many such in any large city, anu to
adjacent towns they are willing to go.
When the trouble arises In country
house, the caretaker must wrestle with
It herself.
One Of her most efficient aids Is a
syringe, with which she squrts into ev-,
cry crack, every nook ana Granny an
emulsion of petroleum and soapsuds
in equal parts. Carpets should be taken
up, floors, closets, shelves and all wood
work washed with carbolic soap and
this treatment repeated whenever nec-
essary. The carpets rugs and all pos,
sible draperies should be beaten and
summed for several days when 1t Is not
feasible to send them to be cleaned by
steam. insect powder, crumbled to-
bacco stalks, cedar oil, hellebore and
various preparations which are sold us
flea banes all fail at times, and all have
been used successfully, so there is no
harm In trying them, but the one ef-
fectual remedy Is the trade secret Of

An Acorn Curtain.

A writer In Woman's Life, q London

taiu Of acorns, which Is herewith Illus
trated. She says:
1--WE decided that we must put on
curtain to take off the bare look Of the
always open door Which leads from our
summer pnrlor into the garden. There
seemed no option as to the kind we
must have, for Is not every one agreed
that the coolest, most fly forbidding,
most air admitting and most artistic
article for the purpose is the conven-
tional bead curtain? But here my idea
stepped In. Why should not acorns
take the place Of beads? The children
literally jumped Mt the suggestion, for
1t was autumn, and we live on the edge
Of Epping forest. So off the young peo-
pie rushed, md In about 20 minutes
they returned with basket fairly fill
ed with the little brown berries. This
early morning excursion was the first

smooth, strong twine and an uphol-
sterer's needle with n point Mt either
end. But the berries were very hard
Here was room for another happy
thought, and fortunately 1t arrived
We steamed the acorns, ms If they had
been potatoes. The result was excel
lent, and the work proceeded apace.
The berries were threaded into rows
OF the proper length. The only thing
left to be done was to devise heading
for the curtain. remembered a piece
Of brown string crochet work which
had formerly done duty as border Of
an octagonal table. When measured,
1t was found to fit the doorway space
excellently. The rows Of acorns were
fixed to 1t, the curtain hung and the
whole thing declared to be n perfect
success. When we make another cur
tain, as we intend to do, we shall in

The Linen Closet.

One OF the most necessary and useful
parts Of house Is the linen closet, yet
there are houses by the score that do
not have one, says Woman's Life.
Where 1t is possible 1t is good plan to
give up closet or small room to this
purpose. The first thing ls to provide
sufficiency Of shelves wide enough
to allow Of the articles they are to
hold lying smoothly upon them Where
1t 1s not possible togive up small room
to the linen the largest available closet
should be chosen. In this case 1t Will
be found an excellent plan to allow one
shells to each room. In this. closet
should be kept two large chests, one
for blankets and the other for winter
garments not In use. If neither room
nor closet can be given up. wardrobe
built for the purpose would be conven.
lent to most housekeepers.

To dethrone Christianity from its
place in the world to-day would be
the act of madman or a fool. Were
it possible to do so vast numbers of
intelligent people, who now think
themselves emanoipated from it,
would strive for its restoration, not
at all because they thought it divine;
but because they had come to realize,
as they never had realized before,
how necessary it was to the progress
of the world.

Hints for the Housekeeper.

Very few women, and especially
farmers wives, realize how much
the happiness of the family depends
on the way the meals are cooked and
served. Yet we all know that we
are much more apt to receive a fa-
vorable reply from John after he has
partaken of good dinner than if
the request had been made when he
was cold and hungry. "Well fed,
we'll Bred" is an old proverb which
contains more than grain of truth,
and now that the cold days have
come, invigorating the body and
giving an edge to the appetite, it be-
hooves us to pay special attention to
this matter, using all our ingenuity
to furnish tempting variety three
times a day for those who make up
our families. 1t is not necessary to
have a great variety of materials,
but to learn to prepare the same
things in different ways. It will be-
come as interesting as working out a
puzzle if you will allow yourself to
take the time, and it is we'll spent.
One very important item is to
change the shape of the bread. The
ways of seasoning and cooking meat
is another. Every housekeeper
ought to go to city at least once a
year. If she will make tour of the

beautiful variety of bread and roll
pans, pie plates, pudding dishes, eto.,
which have cost almost nothing, and
will make life easier for her and
moro attractive for her people,

it attacked football in use among the Chris

had also fallen under the eye of the Rever-

al incentive in his defense of the game.
He dissociated 1t from prize fighting.
and, although not approving 1t as it was
played in all of its features. he said that
its so-called brutality was ridiculously over
played by those who criticised it without
taking the trouble to inform themselves
upon its merit and defects.
Mr.. Tilley has been resident Of st. Louis

was appointed to the pastorate Of the

his muscles are highly developed. His face
glOws with health. and he looks 'fit'' for a

Almond arrived home from Washington to-
day. He spent the day at home. resting
from his trip. The citizens will give him 4
public reception at the opera-house Thurs
day night.
When he was asked what he thought
about the statement of Mr. Machem. Su-
perintendent of Rural Free Delivery. con-
cernins the matter spoken Of in the House
last Thursday. Judge De Almond said:
II wrote in April and left in July for the
Philippines. The trip of the Postmaster
General to the Pacific Coast will not serve
as an explanation Of the failure to reply
to or acknowledge receipt of any of my
three April letters nor can that trip serve
to show the lack Of time or opportunity to
answer the question which / asked. and to
consider an! answer which it is pretended
that the rural free delivery cases in the dis
trict were held w. by the department
THAT question was as simple as could he.
and could have been answered off-hand-
70. it was. in substance: Have you changed
from your declared policy of dividing be-
tween the parties the carriers upon rural
free delivery routes"
.Mr. Machem says it was decided that
should be consulted about the appointment
of carriers. and yet no notice or word to
that effect was given out or conveyed to
me- Nor is that all. On the I'd OF April 1
formally recommended certain persons Tor
carriers out of Clinton. Henry County. and
NOT one of them was appointed: but those
selected by the Republican Postmaster at
that place and recommended by the Reruo-
