Making Over a Waist.

A pretty way to freshen up worn white
china or india silk waists is to put in a
guimpe and full half sleeves of colored
lace, says Harper's Bazaar. This lace.
by the way, can be easily colored al
home with any one of the prepared dyes.
One girl recently made an old china silk
waist by these means. She took some
quite dilapidated renaissance lace which
had been on another gown. Out of that
she got enough for guimpe and full
half sleeves with the undersleeve ef-
feet. Then she dyed the medallions in
the lace delicate blue. A big bow of the
same shade of blue in velvet decorated
the left side and completed an original
and much admired waist.

TEN TRUTHS.

Easy tasks make idle men.
Folly is close friend OF pride.
Silver and gold-the sea and the sun.
The surest shot takes the quickest
aim.
To succeed be devoted, but not de-
pendent.
The smallest flowers have the sweet
est smell.
Eternal dissatisfaction Is the second
law of nature.
No laugh can be as roguish as the rip
pie of a stream.
The man who pleases himself most
suits others best.
Men wonder what they will do; wom-
en- what others will think.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
Kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz: Q) Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and CD Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder.
() Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from a kind Of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitriol and from this
solution product is obtained which
is alum. Alum Is cheap; costs about
two cents pound, and baking powder
made with this Mineral-Acid sells from
10 to 25c. pound.
(2) Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder. The
U. S. Patent Office Report gives full
and exact description, but the follow
HS extract is oIOuSu.
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil Of
vitriol and with continual stirring
and in the following proportion"
etc.
From this BoneAcid phosphate bak-
Ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 80 cents a pound.
go Cream, of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice from
the press in the manufacture of wine
After the wine is drawn off the tartar
is scraped from the cask, boiled with
water, and crystals of Cream of Tar
tar, white and very pure, separate and
are collected. 1t differs in no respect
from the form in which it originally
existed in the grape. Cream of Tar
tar, then, while the most expensive, is
the only ingredient that should be used
in baking powder to act upon the
soda, as it's wholesomeness is beyond
question:. Cream Of Tartar baking
powders sell at about 40 to so cents a
pound
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule:-Baking
powders selling from 10 to rs cents a
pound are made of Mineral-Acids
those selling from 20 to 90 cents of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.

MRS. A. L. WALKER, 331 East Linden ST. Atlanta Ca
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to
continue much suffering and fatal results are sure
to foNoao. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves,
makes you dizzy restless sleepless and irritable.
Makes you pass water often during the day and
ooliges you to get up, many times during the
night: Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism,
gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache
in the back, joints and muscles; make your head
ache and back ache, cause indigestion, stomach
and liver trouble, you get sallow, yellow COM
plexion, make you feel as though you had heart
troub BILE; you may have plenty of ambition, but
no strength; get weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the world-famous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help
to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is

LATHROP'S LOSS.
Brokers Testify That He Squandered About $30O0
 on Sugar Last Year.

The hearing of the Lathrop case was resumed this forenoon. Sidney Corey was the first witness exam 1ned. Corey appeared to be under the weather, but not enough to prevent him from testifying. He said that he had received check one time from MT Lathrop. for what purpose he could not say. But on cross examina- ton by Judge Burpee it transpired that he gave his note to Mir Lathrop flor the check and that he has paid only S5 on it. He also said that Mrs Corey got lot of nice furniture and that he tried to trace the previous ownership to MT Lathrop, but failed.
 After Corey had testified Attorney ONeill proceeded to try to prove that Mir Lathrop could easily afford to pay his wife 5000 a year by showing that he invested in the stock market ire quently. To prove this he called upon E. H. Sears and George Wright. stock brokers, and they testified that he lost during the past year about S3.OoO on sugar stocks. Sugar was hls favorite investment, but occasionally he invest ed in copper and Milwaukee wheat.

The law is so constituted at present that the costs of foreclosing lien of fifty cents. amounts to about $50. Last spring numerous instances of the in- justice of this law were given iu the district court. week after week. on tax liens filed by Attorney Wood, collector of school taxes for the Town Plot and Simonsviile districts. Among the liens at that time was one for thirty two cents, and the costs amounted to about $50.
