Careful HOusekeepers Should KeeI

tinized by the careful housekeeper as
are the grocery and provision bills,
and care should be taken to see that
no overcharge is made. TO do this,

Recipe for a Hair Vash

A useful hair wash, especially for
those people who easily catch cold.
is made by taking five cents worth
of car2phor and borax (both should
be powdered), and pouring over them
pint of boiling water. Let this stand
till cold and then bottle. When wash
ing the hair add tablespoonful of
this to the warm water. It is a very
cleansing compound, and the cam.
Phor it contains prevents any chill be-
ing felt. z - :

The officer said he would try to have it done in a fortnight. Lord Roberi < smiled pleasantly and observed. ''l know you will do the best you can. Outside the door he met Kitchener who asked what he was doing. The officer replied that Lord Roberts had requested him to do such and such [ thing, and that he had promised to try to do it in fortnight.
 Now. colonel" said Kitchener" il you cannot do it in a week we shal have to see about sending you home. It was done in a week.

John Leonard, an individual who has had desire for changing his name and lately acquired the habit, has also had a mild attack of scribbling itch. He forged a check on Wade Sotel for $42 10 and another on Charles Nesbit for $66.10. He was quietly gathered in by Deputy William Sparks, who located him in a wood shed back of Pasquale's. It seems that he made the check which he passed upon Wade Sotel payable to J. A. Meador (whO had been, at the date of the check, dead for severa, days), and also forged Meador's en- Gorsement on the back. When arrested he had $67.40 on his person, which na gave to Charles Nesbit.

HOW TO PREVENT CRorP-

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day of two be- fore the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a pc culiar rough cough. Give Chamber lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be de- pended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Elvey & Hu- lett, the live druggists

Tn France novel method of catch ing fish Is being tested by the anglers. A tiny mirror is attached to the line near the baited hook. The assumption is that fish. when it sees itself in a glass, will conclude that some other fish is trying to carry off the bait. and will make haste to secure the tempting morsel itself, the result being that v will speedily be caught on the relentless hook. From experiments which have been made there seems to be some foundation for this assumption. At any rate, some anglers say that they catch more fish when they use the little mir TOT than they ever caught before.
