ment was in the Weitzenkorn building,

ability and through her untiring efforts
has established a good business in this
city She employs seventeen girls, who
are kept busy, and had it not been for
her cramped quarters in the Weitzen-
korn building she would have been in a
position to employ half dozen more
girls. She makes many of the fashion
able dresses worn in this city and her
customers consist principally of the
wealthier class. Her trade too, is not
limited to this city and vicinity, but ex-
tends to other cities in this section of the
state.
Miss Jones had twelve of her girls
working when the fire took place and
they managed to save $500 worth of
gowns from the building. Miss Jones
can boast of being a self-made woman.

Remedy for Smallpox.

Here is prescription for smallpox
which is considered by the Sisters of
Charity of Philadelphia as stronger
than vaccinations "One grain of sui
phate of zinc, one grain of fox-glove,
sometimes called digitalis; mix with
two tablespoonsful of water; when
thoroughly mixed add four ounces of
water; take teaspoonful every hour
for twelve hours"
The remedy has been used for years
in the large orphan asylum over which
the Sisters have charge, and it is said
no symptoms of the disease have ever
appeared among the thousands of
children under their care.
