George Schaub, well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, Is con-
slant reader of the Dayton Volkszei-
tung. He knows that this paper aims
to advertise only the best IN It's col

Pain Balm advertised therein for lame
back. he did not hesitate in buying a
bottle Of it for his wife, who for eight
weeks had suffered with the most ter
rible pains in her back and could get
no relief. He says: after using the
Pain Balm for few days my wife said
TO me, 4 feel as tho born anew and be-
fore using the entire contents OF the
bottle the unbearable pains had entirely
vanished and she could again take up
her HOUSEHOLD duties He is very
thankful and hopes that all suffering
likewise will hear of her wonderful re-
covery. This valuabls liniment is for

ANENT GEORGE PERKINS.
Icedar Rapids Gazette.l

There is no need to shed tears foS
George Perkins If his enemies are
to laugh he would probably have
them laugh gleefully, SO that this
part of the program is all right,
George would not have doleful laugh
ter about the place. He is abund-
antly able to care for himself. He
does not often take the trouble to GO
to war, and. never unless he means
to fight. The Gazette has never
known him to put on war paint and
feathers for purposes of dress pa
rade, or TO engage in the serious busis
ness of fighting unless the ambition
to thatch his tepee with new scalps
had been freshly aroused in his
bosom. II David Brant is intending
to break his unperturbed silence by
lifting up his voice in prayer let the
petition be for the moral improve
ment OF the enemies of George Perkins
so that they may be fitted to meet
the conditions of the day of judgment.
He does not fight with the idea of
being made a prisoner and he has
no prison of his own. He does not
take captives TO have them share his
feed. Either there is peace or desola-
ton. 1t might have been better for
the meddlesome politicians to have al
lowed Perkins to continue IN the groove
of publishing news, occasionally writ
ing a Sunday sermon to spur the min
listers to higher effort He was all
right when SO engaged and was doing
them no harm. Be sides he was help
full to many people. When an In
dian desires to act like Christian ha
should be encouraged in the effort
Some OF the meddlesome will learn
to appreciate him just before he raises
their scalps and then it will be too
late. George is no spring chicken,
and while the Gazette is prepared to
be Interested in the coming events it
has no uneasiness for Perkins, whose
blood has never been known to register
more than so degrees Fair. II is a
good bet thar-i--s>7-7in his possession

G. w. Roberts, of Elizabeth, W. Va. An

and applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve,

SHE FLOWED CORN.

The story of the dedication of the
Rice Union Chapel is told elsewhere,
but there was a little side incident
that aptly illustrates the enthusiasm
that entered into the building of that
unique chapel. When it came to
finishing up the church ready for the
opening service, a handy man was
wanted to hang the curtains. Charley

1t may be an eye-opener to our peo'

whisky firm of Rock Island, boasts
of the fact that he considers Newton
one of the best towns in Iowa for MS
business, and that his sales III our
town amounts to $500 month, or
$4,000 a year. He laughs when he tells
of officers going to arrest Susie Ding

and on going to her residence pass
men who illegally sell ten times as
much as she does. Somehow or other,
it appears that in the past we have

THE PORK" QUESTION.

Waterloo Rep0rteT.l
It is really somewhat difficult to I'M
press the belief that the country is suf-
fe,ing for an opportunity to spend the
peoples money for public buildings.
and about the only reason that can be
urged in support of the appropriations
Is that if Pumpkinville has public
building Squashtown is equally enu-
tied to the same generosity of pater-
ualism. That's the proposition In an
abstract form, and is really the sub
stance and essential part of nearly all
movements OF this character. AS long
as Judgment is formed by comparisons
and parallels the result will be the
same.
Waterloo has this idea to the same
extent that it would exist in any other
community of equal size. The public
building was sought more because of
the feeling that it would be a desirable
improvement in appearance than that
it was a necessity or would fill an act
ual want that was uns&tished. Other
towns of less Importance had been
given a donation of generous paternal-
ism, and the thought in the mind of
Waterloo citizens was. If they are
worthy why are not we? is the most
natural that could arise.
1t is this condition, which is not a
theory, that will supply the argument
which can be used effectively in de-
Tense of the presidents veto, If such a
course shall be taken. There will be
many regrets, and a large surplus of
Indignation, ETC., should the bill meet
such fate, but what good reason can
be urged against the veto? There is a
weak spot in the armor of all the towns
and cities that will benefit by the bill
becoming law, and none of them, so
far as the Reporter can observe, has the
material and facts at hand, or can sup
ply them, that will cover the assailable
point and make 1t less vulnerable to the
shaft of facts.
Waterloo is as worthy as the best
and more so than most of the others
included in the bill. That's a fact.

USEFUL TO KNOW.

To mend celluloid articles, make a
cement of part camphor dissolved in 4
parts of alcohol, to which add an equal
amount of shellac. Apply the cement
hot and keep the parts pressed together
until cool.
Ink loZenges, which, when dissolved
in water furnish serviceable ink, are
made of Campeachy wood extract, mu-
cilage and alum, or of compressed black
aniline substance.
A convenient method of making win
dow panes opaque is to paint them with
solution of dextrin, parts; zinc
vitriol, parts; bitter salt, 8 parts, and
water 20 parts.
For removing old paint or varnish
coats, the Deutsche Mailer Zeitung rec
ommends salve made of barrel soap,
5 parts; potassium hydrate, 8 l-2 parts,
and potassium silicate, part.
Newspapers are recommended as plant
protectors in uncertain weather. They
exclude certain amount of frost.
The following is given as the best
method of keeping white marble per-
fectly pure: In the weekly cleaning of
the room dip well-soaked flannel into
powdered whiting, rub the white marble
with it until it forms good lather;
wash it off with warm water and then
dry thoroughly. In addition twice a
year apply this mixture: IL pounds of
soda, pounds Of whiting, 2 ounces of
potash and IA pound of scraped yellow
soap. Boil the soda and the soap to-
gether, and add the whiting and potash
when cold lay it thick over the marble
and leave it on all night or longer;
then wash it off with soap and water.
This will remove stains.

THE FOREIGN POWERS.

Peace with all nations is according to
the constitution of the United States.
A healthy condition of our personal con-
stitution should be at all times our
greatest individual desire. How apt are
we to neglect our own health, and allow
our arch enemy-Disease, to creep In
and break down all our Notifications
and put our health to an ignominious
rout.
In times of health prepare for sick
ness. One of the greatest and most
effective means of fighting the ravages
of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, LaGrippe
and ali Throat and Lung troubles is
found in Bauer's Instant Cough Cure.
It wins the battle every time. 1t Is sold

THE MAJORS VENGEANCE.

Mckinley and the Reporter Who
Prominently Assailed Him.
During one of his congressional cam
palgns Major Mckinley was followed
from place to place by reporter for
paper of opposite political faith. who is
described as being one Of those
"shrewd. persistent fellows who are al
ways Mt work, quick to see an oppor-
tunity and skilled in making the most
Of It." While Mr.. Mckinley was an.
noyed BY the Misrepresentation to
which he was almost daily subjected,
he could net help admlring the skill and
persistency with which he was assail-
ed. His admiration, too, was not un-
mixed with compassion. for the re-
porter was Ill, poorly clad and had an
annoying cough. One night Mr.. Nc
Kinley took a closed carriage for near
by town ut which he was announced to
speak. Thu weather was wretchedly
raw and cold. and what followed is
thus described:
He had not gone far when he heard
that cough and knew that the reporter
was riding with the driver on the ex-
posed seat. The major called to the
driver to stop and alighted. "Get down
off that seat. young man." he said. The
reporter obeyed. thinking the time for
the majors vengeance had come.
"Here," said Mr.. Mckinley. taking on
his overcoat. you put on this overcoat
and get into that carriage"
But, Major Mckinley" said the re-
porter, 81 guess you don't know who |
am. l have been with you the whole
campaign. giving 1t to you every time
you spoke. and am going over tonight
to rip you to pieces II I can"
~ know" said Mr.. Mckinley, "but

get warm so that you can do good
job."-Chautauquan.

THINGS TO REMEMBER.

Every housekeeper experiences, from
time to time, annoyance in finding
stains on delicate fabrics. spread the
stain on large platter and wet it with
whatever is best for that kind of stain
Lemon juice and salt for ink; oxalic
acid for fruit, tea, coffee, etc.; soap and
water and starch for scOrch. / cover
this with sheet of glass and place it in
esun, wetting from time to time.
To clean the soiled edges of books,
rub the edges with rubber ink eraser,
and they will look fresh and new.
A strong acid, like oxalic acid or vim.
egar, will remove the coating of oxide
from brass or copper, leaving it bright
and clean. But if the acid is not imme-
diately washed off it corrodes the metal,
producing copper acetate (verdigris), a
deadly poison. Articles cleaned with
an acid do not remain bright for any
length of time unless they are afterward
rubbed with rottenstone and oil, or
Tripoli and oil.
A crust on the teakettle is generally
caused by lime in the water. Acid will
dissolve the lime. Try vinegar or dilute
sulphuric acid. When the lime scales off
wash the kettle in plenty of clear water,
then rinse warm soda water. The acid
must be removed the moment it has
done its work.
When the drain pipe freezes, I have
frequently found that pouring salt down
the pipes was one Of the best means of
thawing the ice. 1t will hasten matters
If, in addition, hot wooden cloths be
wrapped around the pipes.
To destroy moths In stuffed birds take
the birds outdoors and saturate them
with naphtha. Keep them in the open
air until the naphtha is evaporated.-

CARE OF HARDWOOD FLOORS

CARE OF HARDWOOD FLOORS.
If one only knows how, nothing is
easier than the care of a well-finished
floor. Water should never be used on a
waxed floor. The less water used on
any floor the better.
Painted, vanished and oiled floors
may be cleaned with crude petroleum.
Dip wooden cloth in the petroleum and
rub the boards with it.
When the entire floor has been cleaned
in this manner close the room for few
hours. Cover an old Toothbrush with a
piece of clean wooden cloth and rub the
floor hard. This will remove any super
fluous oil, and polish the floor.
Occasionally add half pint of par
affine oil to each quart of petroleum.
This will keep the floor in fine condi-
ton.
1t is most important that every par
ticle of superfluous oil shall be removed
in the manner have indicated. If this
is neglected many times the oil will hold
the dust and you will soon have dark,
dingy floor.
Painted, vanished and oiled floors can
be wiped with cloth which has been
wrung out of water. This will remove
the dust, but will not add to the lustre.
Waxed floors should be busted with a
soft cloth or dust mop. To remove dirt
spots from such floors, wipe them we'll
with cloth which has been dampened
with turpentine. This will remove the
wax, and it will then be necessary to 60
over the spots with a cloth slightly
moistened with wa1.-Ladies' Home
