A Pretty Summer Kitchen
BY MARY ANNA BILE FANToIs.

I grow anywhere, and needs no care but cup of water a day and then cozy ocker near the window and book ana a work basket with the everlasting mend ing, kitchen work can get to be some thing besides utter heartsick drudgery. This all sounds 1 know like work and expense to begin with, and it does mean q little of both. But pretty lino- leum does not cost bit more in three years than than the renewal of ugly cheap oil cloth each year And Japanese prints will wear for years where cheap CT lawn is gone in a season. And the saving of time when 1t comes to the weekly or daily cleaning of this kitchen is incalculable.
 Old fashioned housewives disliked put ting much expense into kitchen things which required lot cs scrubbing and securing that soon took out the color and ruined the texture. But the very up-to-date housewife has learned that she does not have to spend one-third of her life to keep the other two-thirds clean She has found that little pure borax will save a lot of muscular activ- ity and much wear and tear.
 Her window curtain she soaks in cold borax water, two teaspoonfuls to a pail of water. for half an --our, then she rubs them lightly through hot subs of the same solution, rinses them in clear cold water and, lets dry in the shade When nearly dry sne irons G.l the wrong side and invariably they look like new.
 As for her linoleum, table oil-cloths, woodwork and windows, she washes them all in the hot oorax suds; half a cake of shaved castile soap and two teaspoonfuls Of pure borax to pail of very hot water and they don't have to be rubbed, they just wipe clean. An hour or two Sat urday morning and everything IS spic and span and a few minutes a day after the breakfast dishes are out of the way keeps the room fresh and pretty. The blue and white color scheme is sueested here because it is both artistic cheerful and durable, but lnoleums, ta- ble oil-cloth and Japanese prints can all be bought in yellow and whlte, red and white, pale water green and white, and, , of course, pale blue, but this latter Is rarely durable.
 And besides the prints, lovely cotton crepes can be had in good colors and linens and cotton crepes, exquisitcly lowered cretonne and English art prints all washable, inexpensive and cheerful as a daily association.
 No woman and no member of family should ever begrudge a few dollars spent in making the kitchen a truly pleasant lace For 1t means to the house worker not only added comfort of body and con- tentment of mind but actually improved health, and that means a gain to the whole family circle as well as to the dear mother herself.

MlDDLEBURY LOCAL NEWS

The first ladies' night reception given
by the Moosalamoo Club Thursday night
was a complete success. The rooms had
been very prettily decorated for the
occasion with flowers and running vines.
Delightful music was furnished during
the evening by the Burlington Harp c o.,
which added greatly to the enjoy ment
of the large number present There
were ten tables of progressive whist,
Mrs. G.. ID. Miner made the best score,
80 plus with Mrs. o. II. Cushman close
second and Mrs. Harley HOag third.
The ladies were presented with souvenirs.
About a dozen ladies were taught the
mysteries of pool by experts at the game
and seemed to enjoy the game as much
as the gentlemen. Refreshments from
Coon, the Burlington caterer, were
served about 1920 after which there was
dancing in the parlor for those who
wished. The membership of the club is
still growing and new members are
voted in every week.

USE HYOMEI AT OUR RISK"
w. II. sheldon VIII Pay for Hyomei Treat
ment if it Fails to Cure Catarrh.

ment il it Fails to Cure Catarrh.
So pronounced has been the relief aud
cures following the use of Hyomei in
catarrhal troubles, that in nearly every
city and village all over this country the
leading druggists have advertised that
they would pay for Hyomei themselves
if it did not effect a cure In this city,
w. II. Sheldon has publicly announced
in the Register and other papers, use
Hyomei at my risk" The result has
been an enormous demand for the Hyo-
mel outfit, and many unusual cures
have been made.
The fact that Hyomei is so convenient
and complete and that it cures by merely
breathing and not by drugging the
stomach, no doubt has had considerable
influence in creating confidence in the
treatment. When Hyomei is used
every particle of air that enters the head
and throat and goes to the lungs, is
charged with healing balsams that kill
the germs of catarrh and soothe and
heal the irritated mucous membrane.
DIR. Sheldon urges all who are subject
to catarrh or catarrhal colds to get a
Hyomei outfit from him and use it at his
risk. No matter how skeptical you may
be, you cannot dispute the fairness of
this offer. Use Hyomei for a month.
If, at the end of thirty days, you can say
to DR.. Sheldon ut did not help he will
refund your money without question or
argument. This is his way of removing
all doubts as to the power of Hyomei to
cure catarrhal troubles. He believes ii
the strongest evidence that can be Of
fered to the curative powers of Hyo'
mel.

The last High school base ball game of
the season occurred on the college cam
pus Monday afternoon between Burr and
Burton Seminary and Middlebury High
school. The game was good fast one
from start to finish. The Burr and
Burton team was a little ahead of Mid
dlebury in batting, but were a little slow
in fielding. The star play of the game
was in the fifth inning when Duff
knocked long fly into left field and
made a home run while the fielders
were searching for the ball in the grass.
Hope also made a fine hit in the third
inning, securing third base on it,

TRADE REPORT.

Commercial conditions have improv-
ed somewhat during the past week, al
though there is still much to be de-
sired. Dispatches from the south are
encouraging. At the east more sea-
sonable weather prevailed, yet spring
trade is still below normal. The best
news of the week was the settlement
of many labor controversies, or at
least resumption of work pending arbi-
tration. Manufacturing news is still
confusing. Notable improvement in
the iron and steel industries is Offset
by less favorable news regarding the
textile and footwear trade. Agricul-
tural work progresses rapidly under
better than average conditions. 1t is
good sign that the month opened
with prices of commodities less inflat-
ed. Less activity in western hides
markets was not accompanied by a
weakness; on the contrary, limited Of
ferings by packers gave increased
strength to all varieties except native
steers of recent sailing.
Failures numbered 235 in the Unit
ed States.

Paris.-EX-Queen Isabella of Spain,
grandmother of King Alfonso, died
here at 9:45 O'Clock Saturday morning
of influenza, with complications. The
American embassy, which is opposite
the Palatta castle on the Avenue Kle-

The queen had been afflicted with

MAY BE COMMANDER HIROSE.
Body of Japanese Officer Buried at
Port Arthur.


Tokio.-The body of the officer found
and buried at Port Arthur, is unques-
tiOnably Commander Hirose, who lost
his life in the engagement on Marcn
q, when Vice Admiral Togo made his
second attempt to bottle up the port.
The description of the uniform tallies
with that worn by officers of Hirose's
rank. The fact that the body had been
missing is further confirmation of this.
The government fully appreciates the
action of the Russians in giving the
body a military funeral and officers of
the naval staff have requested the AS
ISOLATED Press to express their appre-
citation of the Russian courtesy.
Commander Hirose is the greatest
hero of the war and after the conclus-
ion of hostilities it is planned that an
effort will be made to secure the re-
mains now inferred at Port Arthur ana
bring them to Japan.

WashingtOn.-The progress made in
the irrigation work of the government
is reviewed in a publication issued by
the geological survey, which points
out the necessity for great caution and
conservatism in the expansion of the
reclamation work. 1t says that of the
irrigation projects favOrably reported
in 1908, which included those on the
Truckee river in Nevada, on the Salt
river in Arizona, on Milk river in Mon
tana, on Sweetwater river in Wyoming
and on GunnlsOn river in Colorado the
Nevada and Arizona projects have
been declared feasible and construction
on the engineering works along Une
Truckee and Salt rivers has progressed
to a reasonable extent.
The Montana project, however, has
presented unexpected engineering diff
ficulties, as we'll as complications re-
garding water rights, so that progress
is slow. 1t has been found necessary
to modify the first plans in order to
achieve early results.
The Wyoming project as first out
lined has been found impracticable. A
better reservoir site than that of the
Sweetwater, however, has been dis
covered on the North Platte, so that a
large system of DEVELOPMENT may be
worked out there in the future. En-
gineering difficulties are encountered
in the Colorado project. The amount
of arid lands thereby reclaimable is
less, too, than was expected.
