To Remove Stains.

If linen is badly stained with fruit,
tea or coffee, put plenty Of water into a
boiler or other vessel, and when 1t boils
hard drop in the stained article. Stir
frequently, and after a few minutes
rapid boiling the stain will disappear
and the water be colored. Lye or
washing fluid may be used for clean
ing, but no soap, as that sets the stain.
I had a tablecloth half covered with q
bad coffee stain, and a few minutes
boiling made it as white as ver Blood
stains may be removed in the same
way, if the article is soaked a short
time first in cold water. Cyanide Of
potassium in the proportion Of one
ounce to a quart Of soft water, Is a per-
feet cleanser of badly oxidized silver.
Used by dealers in cleansing wares.
Prepare q sufficient amount so the arti-
Gle can be completely immersed. Ex-
anime every few minutes, but return
to the bath until clean. Immediately
on final removal, rub dry with a soft
wooden cloth, or the silver will look
streaked. The preparation will not
hurt the hands, but 1t is a poison, and

A Sewing Room Convenience.

No sewing room is complete, suggests
Vogue, without one or more wooden
clothes trees Of costume hangers,
which can be bought very reasonably
at any furniture shop. On these may
be hung garments that are in process
of making, or if the various garments
that come from the laundry requiring
a few stitches or mending are hung in
the sewing room. it Is an easy matter
to drop in for an hour or so and mend
them when one feels in the mood.
Freshly laundered garments are kept
In a much better condition If while
waiting to be mended they are hung
on a clothes tree, than when they are
laid over chair backs or put away in
chests and drawers.

WONDERFUL CURE
OF SORE HANDS
BY cuticura After the

EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed
to do a Cents Worth

"About five years ago I was troubled
with sore hands, so sore that when l
would put them in water the pain would
very nearly set me crazy, the skin would
peel Off and the flesh would get hard
and break. There would be blood flow-
ing from at least fifty places ON each
hand. Words could never tell the suf-
fering I endured for three years.
tried everything that I was told to use
for fully three years, but could get no
relief I tried at least eight different
doctors, but none of them seemed to do
me any good, as my hands were as bad
when got through doctoring as when
l first began. l also tried many reme-
dies, but none of them ever did me one
cents worth of good. I was discour-
aged and heart-sore. / would feel SO
bad mornings when got up, to think
l had to 60 to work and stand the pain
for ten hours, aud often felt like CIV
Ing up my position. Before / started
TO work mornings I would have TO
wrap every finger up separately, so
as to try and keep them soft and then
wear gloves over the rags to keep
the grease from getting on my work.
At night I would have to wear gloves
in bed. In fact, had to wear gloves
all the time. But thanks to Cuticura,
the greatest of all great skin cures.
After doctoring for three years, and
spending much money, a SOC. box of
Cuticura Ointment ended all my suffer-
ings. It's been two years since used

Of the Constitution all bills which
have not been in,the hands of the ex-

the session do not become laws until
ten days after the adjournment, unless
approved, giving the Governor nine

MIN authority to disapproye any part
or parts of appropriation bills embrsc-

parts disapproved shall not become a
law. This section may be applied to
some of the charitable and penal insti-

Supt. Leib Receives Welcome
Information.
A Bill Just Passed Will Require
Children to Attend School
Regularly.
EXACT PROVISIONS UNKNOWN

Superintendent Q. NJ. Lieb this
morning received letter from Prof.
Il. n. Roark, of the Kentucky state
university, Lexington, KY, in which
he stated that a compulsory school at.
tendance bill has just peen passed by
the legislature and in the passage Of
the bill Superintendent Lieb thinks it
is one of the best and most beneficial
actions Of the legislature this term.
"It is a matter of regret to me to
see so many children out Of school,"
Superintendent Lieb stated this morn
ing when discussing the bill, land l
am glad that this new bill has been
passed. There has been . compulsory
bill in force providing that all chill
dren between the ages of 6 and IA
years attend school at least two
months ont of every school season, but

sonally, stated that it was an excel
lent bill for cities of the first to the

is embodied in the bill. have in
vestigated reports for,the past several
years back and compared the school
attendance with the school cenous
and find that only about half the
tchool children are attending school.
This looks bad and is bad, and If
there is any way to compel children
to 90 to school and receive at least .
fair education it should be done with
out hesitancy and am glad that the
legislators have seen fit 20 pass the
bill"
Superintendent Leib is very enthu-
siastic over the prospects the bill
affords. He willseoure a copy of the
act as soon as possible and know what
provisions 1t makes.

BOARD
Brief Meeting Held and Two
Policemen Fired by Board.
First Examples Made for Drinking
Among the Police officers.

The meeting of the board Of police
commissioners last night ut the city
hall was brief. and practically moth
ing was done except to discharge OH
Ger Tom Murray and Extra Policeman
John Marley for drinking. 1t was
said that officer Murray was drunk
Friday afternoon and Officer Marley
Friday night, and although neither
man was present, and neither was on
duty while drunk, both were summerily
dismissed.
Officer James CLARK was appointed
to take officer Murray's place as regu-
lar officer and Ernest Hill, an en-
ploye at Bauer's pottery. was made
extra officer. The two officers above
are the first to be discharged for
drunkenness since the commissioners
adopted the rule that there should be
no drinking among the police.
Officer Murray did not appear TO be
worried over his dismissal, as bright
and early this morning he was wear
ing his uniform as usual and was sent
out in charge of the chain gang.
II is said at the city hall that IL
was not known who put him in
charge. nor who runs the chain gang.
An officer said, however, that all the
other overseers were sick, and the gang
had to be sent out in charge Of officer
Murray. or not at sill.
