The Uses of Lemon.

If more people realized the many
uses to which lemons may be put this
fruit would always be found in the
well regulated household. Here are
some of it's good qualities: Lemon
juice removes stains from ones hands.
Lemon juice and water make mouth
wash, useful for preventing tartar and
sweetening the breath, but the mixture
must not be too strong, or the enamel
of the teeth will in time suffer. Lemon
juice will often, when everything else
fails, allay the irritation caused by the
bites of gnats or flies, and teaspoon
full of it, in a cup of cafe noir, will
usually relieve bilious headache. The
juice of lemon, taken in hot water
on awakening in the morning, is q
liver corrector and flesh reducer.
Lemon juice and salt viii remove
rust stains from linen without injury
to the fabric if you wet the stains
with the mixture several times while
it is bleaching in sunshine. Two or
three applications may be necessary

He became the rage Of society He
was tall handsome, cultured, good
talker, good dancer and had the hap
py knack of paying compliments as
fulsome and as lying as a tombstone.
Women rayed over him. They can
rave over anything from cannibal
king to chameleon. But Cruger was
no cannibal king, though perhaps he
had some of the chameleon's changing
characteristics. Some of them one
day hunted up an old mythology and

Possibly the natural pride which
southern men take in the remarkable
development OF the cotton manufactun
ing industry in their midst makes
them less observant of the evils which
child labor entails. The southern
states which permit it are guilty OF an
economic crime as we'll as of crime
against humanity. They are tOlerat-
ing methods which are destructive Of
valuable human raw material. They
are allowing the boys and girls who
should grow up to be healthy. able
bodied workers to be killed off in
childhood, or if they survive to grow
up stunted, dwarfed, and ineffective

Early rallors, Unions.

Journeymen tailors were among the
earliest craftsmen to form trade
unions In North America. Even pre-
yious to the year 1900 we find some
records of their organization in New
York, Philadelphia and some of our
eastern cities. In Boston tailors
union was organized in 1906, which
is still in existence, having at no time
since that date entirely lapsed. In
1928, at Troy, N. Y, the tailors form
ed a local union which has also had a
continued existence.

Old Church Laws.

In connection with the anniversary

handbook containing copies of old rec

in 1884 reads That we do not al

our society to court with each other
on Sunday; neither do we allow our
single men and women to walk in the
street together arm in arm at any
time; neither do we allow them to
stand at street corners chatting to-

chapel authorities forbade girl Choir
listers wearing bows in their bonnets.

can be had at the South. It cannot

that state, as of other northern manu-

ment of children under IA years of

legislation is as offensive to the own
ers of the New Hartford mills as SINH

mill owners seventy years ago. There
is to-day in some quarters the same
appalling indifference there was then
to the sacrifice of health or the lives
of children in the fierce effort to pro-
duce goods at lower cost and make
more money.
