The streets of this city at the present time are the
drtiest in its history The alleys are sloP holes ana
disease breeders and it is only the grace OF God that
has saved Grand Junction from contagious ePidemc'
To no act of the officials of the city we indebted
for our freedom from epidemic. All around us, in
every direction towns and cities suffering i'om

this city has been immune. Had disease gotten foot
hold might have garnered tor victims, as all
conditions were perfect for the propagation of disease

For months past and especially during the heated
term the people have been choked with great CLOUDS
of dust which have hung the city because OF the

could have beered conditions by the free use OF the

Many OF the most beautiful modern cities in this
country have to thank the village improvement society
for their beauty, their cleanliness. their morality and
their health. And what is best OF all, these societies
have been largely composed usually governed and the
work instituted by women, and The Sentinel believes
that in the of Grand Junction there is that la
tent sentiment which be aroused to beautify the
city. From the Womens Club OF this city which has
had experience in organization there will be found
abundant material start forward the organization
and its membership should include every good woman
in the city actuated by desire to improves
ment in conditions
There are plans of organization, methods OF work,
all outlined in book form for the institution of such
work. The scope of this article is not intended give
those plans but The Sentinel does promise to publish
from time time in detail the character of the work
undertaken by these organizations in cities and towns
and hopes to aroused sentiment favorable
to making this city attractive Business
toe busy the average politician loves dirt we'll and
is worthless undertake such work. therefore it
the women that beginning must be looked for, and
then all probability fathers brothers and others may
be induced to lend their aid to the movement.
Under any circumstances let much be done
which will clear main thoroughfares of the disease
breeding, unhealthtu and beauty destroying weeds,
which almost took possession of the town last year.

Where to Wear n Watch.

That watches should be get-at-able-
that is, worn in a place where coats,
buttons and tapes need not be undoue
nor pulled asunder to probe them from
some remote region-has long been the
desideratum of women, and now that
the problem is solved many will rejoice.
The neck, some clever one has thought,
Is quite as secure a hiding place for n
watch as the waist. 1t is also worn
more uncovered in these days of open
coat fronts and bodlces buttoned up
below the chest Many watches, there
fore, are now simply dropped down un-
der the stock collar, and that they may
not fall too far below it they are at
tachcd to a short heavy gold chain,
perhaps five or six inches long.

A Years Coal Mining.

From advance sheets of the report OF
James +. Roderck, chief of the bureau
of mines, some interesting statistics re-
gardlng the mining of coal during the
past year have been culed
In the eight anthracite districts there
were mined in 1900 total of 51,2l7,31s
tons of coal, the miners working an
average of III days during the year.
There were employed in and about the
mines 143, s9G men and boys. During
the year All persons were killed. There
we're ! ,O57 nen-fatal accidents. To mine
the coal the miners used ,237, 1sO kegs
of powder and Asa Gal pounds of dyna-
mite. There are 15,70S horses and
mules in use in the mines.
In the btumnous coal district there
were mined 79,319, 263 tons of coal and
the coke production was 1875, 112 tons.
There are 30, 1870 coke ovens in Pennsyl-
vania. The number of persons employ
ed at the coal mines and coke ovens was

Home Hints.

Use salt and vinegar to clean brass
utensils and ornaments. Turpentine
sprlnkled in the haunts OF cockroaches
will scatter them. Burning paraflin
may be almost instantly quenched by
throwing flour upon 1t. If food is cook
ed In earthenware, the flavor Is pre-
served better than when iron vessels
are used. Pies, etc, moistened with
milk just before they are put into the
oven bake n nice brown. Blood stains
should be treated with cold water.
Sometimes Il paste of flour and water
will remove small spots and make
further treatment needless. Scrape the
paste off when dry. Ink spots on cloth,
even when old will give way to re-
peated washings, first In melted tallow,
then In hot water This IL far better
remedy than salts of lemon, etc, and
1t never eats the material as salts some
times do. For mildew try dipping the
articles in sour milk, laying them In
the sun and after they are white rims
Ing them in clean water. For scorch-
ed places, wet with water and lay them
in the sun. Tar and wagon grease
should be treated by having n clean
cloth folded upon them, benzine pour
ed on them, then rub with clean
cloth. A handful Of fig leaves boiled

To Serve Lettuce Cooked.

\ savory way of serving lettuce Is
to boil three heads in little water for
three minutes, take them out of the
saucepan and drain off the moisture,
put into a stewpan some bacon rind
and small lump of butter, sprinkle
the lettuce with salt, pepper and little
flour and lay 1t In a pan and put the
cover on and let it simmer for two
hours very gently, turning the contents
at short intervals, Have ready some
peas plainly boiled until very tender,
put them in hot vegetable dish, cut
up the lettuce and pour it over the
peas; also the liquor from which the
bacon rind has been removed.-Ex-

To Polish Furniture,

The great point with any furniture,
Chippendale or otherwise with regard
to polish is to apply the latter as thin
ly and lightly as possible and then rub
1t up till no trace Of the polish is any
where discoyerable. Unless this Is
done the furniture will always be
sticky, attracting dust in the most ex-
aspcratng fashion and showing every
finger mark. This is one of the most
difficult things to impress on house
maids, as they viii persist In believing
that the more polish they apply and the
thicker they put it on the better will
be the effect, yet In reality the exact
opposite is the case. Housewives for
merly used nothing but turpentne and
beeswax, with an inhnity of elbow
grease, and it is to the latter ingredient
that the brilliant polish of old furni-
ture was chiefly due. If the old oak
is dirty, try this: Boil together half a
gallon of beer, half ounce OF beeswax
and a tablespoonful Of sugar. Apply
this with a brush and when dry polish
thoroughly with clean cloths.
