Boys Who lake Money.

A striking example of what ener-
getic and hustltng boys can do In
business is illustrated by Charles and
Russell Anspach, of this place, who
own fiourishing grocery business on
Whittelsy street
The boys twelve and nine years of
age, started with a capital of 27 cents,
their first venture being the selling
Of candy and oranges from a small
stand placed In the yard They were
pauonized by their neighbors and
friends, and within a month of the
opening, March 10, of this year, were
able to build a small shed, where they
kept stock Of groceries.
They began a system OF bookkeep-
ing, bought and delivered their own
groceries, and by clever advertising
soon attracted the attention of the
public. Their fresh goods, courteous
manner, and energetic methods COM
bined to bring plenty of customers,
and, prospecting, they were able to
erect a little store, which is stocked
with line OF groceries complete in all
details.
The boys own a little red delivery
wagon, and can be seen early and late
catering TO their customers They
are the sons of Mr.. and Mrs P. N.
Anspach, and their ambition is to be
the proprietors Of the largest grocery
store In Sandusky county.-Fremont

Calloused Feet.-Never pare the cai~
loused skin on tender feet except I'M
der absolutely necessary conditions be-
cause frequent pairing makes it form
faster. Such spots represent an effort
of nature to overcome the dangerous
effect of long continued pressure.
Those who stand for many hours daily
are prone to this condition. When
the calloused spot needs removal ap-
ply the following to the thickened
parts for five nights: Salicylic acid
11a drains, sulphuric ether two drains,
tincture of indian hemp two drains,
flexible collodion fifteen drains, mix.
On the sixth night soak the feet in
hot water and the callous will come
off. Avoid pressure and it is not like
~ to return.
Wounds.-Three useful things to
have in the home as a provision in
case Of wounds not sufficiently seri-
GUS to necessitate the calling in of a
medical attendant, are a spool of adj
hesive plaster, some iodoform gauze
and a package of carbolated absorb

surface as well as possible with wad
of the cotton, using moderate pressure
and elevating the part if necessary to
check the flow of blood. Do not ap-
oily any water. Bring the cut sur
faces together and retain them there
with as few and as narrow strips of
the plaster as will suffice, cutting them
In good length. Then cover the wound
with a dozen or so thicknesses of the
iodoform gauZe which should extend
an inch at least beyond the wound.
Over the gauze apply a liberal layer
Of the absorbent cotton, allowing it to
extend beyond the gauze. The cotton
may be kept in place by a bandage of
cheese-cloth or when suitable a part
of the leg of a stocking may be drawn
over it. Moderate pressure if evenly
distributed is helpful. The pressure
Of string is hurtful. Keep the part
moderately elevated and take care that
there is no construction of the limb
above the wound by a garter or other
wise.

Sir,-ln your recent editorial on the
above subject you offered as conclusive
objection to the suggestion Of ultimately
abolshing orphan asylums and boarding
orphans in private families In the coun-
try. the example of an asylum having
to take back an orphan boy because he
did not suit. Granting this 70 be SO and
granting hundreds OF such cases, and
granting further the claim Of the other
party quoted, namely, that binding out
orphans has generally proved unsatis-
actory"-granting these and innumer-
able other cases, yet they do not touch
the proposition gradually to abolish or
phan asylums and substitute In their place

vate families The objection reminds
one In its re ssGEcy somewhat of the
answer Of tho bow 10 his mother who told
him ito fetch hpr a pail OF water from

The proposition was to hoard orphans,
or to make it profitable and therefore
desirable for families to have them, and
tho answer is to bind orphans out to fami-
lies who want to make money out OF
them, Very naturally this system. as
claimed by your informant, generally
proves unsatisfactory and therefore

1t Is only natural that orphans reared

generally prove unsatisfactory and that,
MS claimed by your informant. they do
prove unsatisfactory. and have to be re-

Like Tho Times-Dispatch, the News
does not advocate specially the candi-

OF the other distinguished gentlemen
mentioned in connection with the office

any other man that favors legislation to
reduce the evils of the liquor traffic
shonid be ostraciz.sd by the Democratic
party. And, curther. We are of the opin-
Io.l that nothing could have been done
more calculated to aid Judge Mann IN
his aspirations for gubcrnatorial honors
than the unjust and uncalled for attack
