WELL TO REMEMBER.
How Old Mattresses May be Made
over ut Home.

How Old Mattresses May De Made
over ut Home.
Perhaps all housekeepers do not know
;hat old mattresses can be made over
to be almost as good as new, says a
writer in the Christian Work and Evan
gelist. If they are filled with moss,
hair or cotton they can be renovated
nicely, but the excelsior and other
cheap Filings must be thrown away.
After emptying the contents Of the
tick through a ripped seam in the mid
die OF the top the dust should be thor
oughly shaken from the filling Cot.
ton may be laid on Hat surface-the
porch floor is good place-and whip
ped with q Timber stick to raise the
dust, then well shaken. This treat
ment also lightens the fiber Of the cot
ton and is good for hair and moss.
Moss IS much better for good wash
ing If very dusty. Use tub of tepid
suds. Plunge some of the moss in and
swash it around awhile. then wiring
through a wringer into tub Of clear
water. After rinslng IL is wrung again
and spread on the grass to dry in the
hot sun. 1t should be turned and shak-
en- few times while drying. Either
moss. hair or cotton should be pulled
apart until perfectly light before re-
turning ii to the tick.
The tick should be well washed am
boiled If. necessary. then = ~
the inside and well straighten<d(lD
before drying. as II is difficult to iron
II very well. In stuffing the mattress
spread IT on a clean floor and fill the
corners first. then the ends. and so I'M
til the middle is reached Be sure to
have It very full in the middle, where
the most wear will come. else there
will soon be very uncomfortable val
leys In the bed. Sew up the seam in
the top and proceed TO tack the mat
tress. using a long needle and stout
Irvine. Put small pieces OF cloth on
the Irvine at each side of the mattress
to prevent the Irvine breaking through
the tick.
After the first row OF lacking around
the edge OF the mattress it can be
raised upon chairs or Stat bed to make
the work easier II is hard work. but
II one has more time than money It will
pay to rcnovatc the old mattresses,
MS they are so much more comfortable
when finished.

PALESTINE, TEXAS, MAY FL, 1904.
EFFECTS OF ADVERTISING.

A HERALD man had an oppor-
tunity last night to note the direct
effects of newspaper advertising
upon Palestine people. He
dropped in at Bratton's, and in
the fifteen or twenty minutes he
spent there, fourteen people pat
ronized the soda fountain, and
nine of the fourteen called for
"Coney Island Float OF course
this is a delicious connection of
ices, fruits, ETC., but the nd this
firm isnow running in the HERALD
is creating the demand.
Another striking illustration of
the effectiveness of newspaper adj
vertising was the vast throng at
tracted to Branagan G Brannan's
last evening. The store was not
big enough for the throng, and
hundreds were turned away. The
announcements of this reception
were made only through the daily
papers.
There are just few merchants
left in Palestine who are "old
togy" enough to use dodgers ex-
clusively, and that style of adver-
Using is about the least effective
of any.
There is no advertising equals
newspaper advertising, especially
HERALD advertising, as the HER
AID visits more Palestine homes
daily than can be reached by any
other method.

TEXAS is FOR HEARST.

E. w. Davenport, editor of the
Brecenridge Democrat, says:
1T is amusing, these antics OF
the Parker managers in trying to
impress democratic voters inside
or outside of Texas that Parker
has even fighting chance to car
nv Texas. My county, Stephens,
will be particularly solid for
Hearst and all the more populous
counties of northwest Texas will
go the same.
ave are Indifferent to the lat
est attempt to fool the people in
the PRONUNCIATION of Elliot Dan
forth's belief of what Parker
would stand for if nominated. If
Parker has to be frightened into
permitting second hand statements
of what he would stand for to go
out to the public then his attitude
or opinion would have no interest
for the democrats of my section
of Texas"
w. A. Shaw, editor of the Tex
rs Farmer, the official organ of
the Texas State Grange, has is
sued an address to the farmers of
Texas, in which he says:
"Plainly stated, the issues are
simple. Hearst stands for real
democracy. He stood for and
fought for real democracy, as ex-
pressed in the platforms of 1896
and 1900, and he spent more mon
ey in the two campaigns than did
any hundred of men now fighting
him. His political record has al
ways been open, clean and con-
spicuous. 1t has never been any
trouble to find out where he stood.
1.-The public knows nothing of
Judge Parker's record in the
campaigns of 1896 and 1900. |
Parker is of the Hill-Belmont va
riety of politicians. Wall street
would not encourage or support
the candidacy of any man who is
for real democratic administra-
ton.
Lord God of hosts, be with us,
Lest we forget; lest we forget.
"The people want a platform
of principles, they do not want
mere change of men, with no
change of policy except to inten-
sify the evils of republican poll
cies."

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARsT's
pledge to support the nominees of
the st. Louis convention was I'M
necessary. Mr.. Hearst was fight
ing for platform and nominees
when the men who started the
story that he intended to bolt
were contributing to the republi-
can campaign fund and cheering
for William Mckinley. Mr..
Hearst, like his father before him,
is ''yaller dog" democrat. He
shuts his eys, holds his nose and
votes the ticket straight. The
never-say-die and thick-and-thin
party man is compelled at inter
walls to adopt these anti-microbe
precautions in order to keep the
faith and preserve his record for
regularity.-Dallas Times-Herald.

HIT EN- AGAIN.

The Post is the special custo-
dian of the sphynx boom and
claims to be the Texas oracle of
the sphynx. In 1896 the erudite
gentleman who is furnishing the
editorial brains for the Post was
a loyal supporter OF the lamented
William Mckinley. He had a
perfect right to support Mr.. Nc
Kinley and he had a perfect right
to class all men as anarchists who
refused to support Mckinley and
voted the regular ticket. This is
a free country and when an editor
gets the political rabies he is not
held to strict accountability by
those who are charitabIy inclined
towards their fellows. - Dallas
Times-Herald.
