Home Remedies.


The following simple remedies are
given for the benefit of those whe
have formed the habit of taking pat
ent medicines. Everybody is advised
to give these remedies a fair trial:
they surely can do no good and meT
do some harm:
To Cure Toothache-When toot6
begins to Jump tie same down By,
means of stout rope, so that jumping
is impossible. II tooth continues to
ache 60 to some dentist who has q
pull.
To Cure 1nsomnia-Sbut your eyer
and count gray sheep, which you must
imagine you see jumping over a pair
of bars. Count from sheep No. l up
to sheep No. 57,432. BY that time Il
will be daylight and you will be
obliged to get up.
To Relieve Distress After Eating
Stop eating.
To Remove a Wart-Try filing 4
off and if the wart does not succuml
to this use a stump puller. If thin
fails try saying words over it, but
2ont swear so hard that the neigh
bors will hear you.-Ohio State Jour
nal.

Industrial Effect of Spinsters.

Industrial Effect of Spinsters.
A study by woman writer of CEN
sus returns suggests the conclusion
that one in every six English women,
and in the upper classes nearly Gre
half, are destined to spinsterhood.
This fact might have depressing ef-
feet on some investigators, but this
one finds cause for rejoicing "The lot
of all women" she predicts, may be
immensely improved by this compact
band of single women. It would be
difficult to overrate the industrial ef-
feet of number of well-instructed,
healthy-minded, vigorous, permanent
spinsters."
