Wants Ailmony.

The Los Angeles Times of Saturday has the following account of the trou- bles of couple formerly we'll known in Flagstaff:
 Mrs. Rose M. Cameron, whose hus- band, Norman A. Cameron, is. alleged to conduct the saloon in the Bryson block, corner of Spring and Second streets, is seeking to have the court compel her hushand to pay her perma- nent alimony. The parties were mar ried at Flagstaff, Arizona, in Novem- Der, 1895. The wife complains that her husband since November l, 1904, has consorted with lewd women, and the name of Mae Chesley is given as one of Cameron's female associates. After treating the wife with cruelty the saloon keeper is alleged to have deserted his home altogether. She ayers that his saloon business is worth Sl4, 900, and that he has other property. She de- mands a share of all of this and $25 a week as permanent alimony.

Proper Treatment Of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous dis ease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneu- monia always results from cold or from an attack of the grip, and that by giving Chamberlain's Cought Remedy the threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded of. This remedy is also used by physians in the treatment of pneumonia with the best results. Dr. W. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala. i, who is also a druggists, says of it: "I have been selling gChamberlain's Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in cases of pneumonia and have all ways gotten the best results" Sold by all druggists.

A Shakespeare Victim

There are great many ways in this world for man to get bunkoed, but Robert Walton is probably the man who has lost seriously on the Shake speare game. Mir. and Mrs. Walton are what Mir. Tom Lawson would probably term "votaries'' of Shake speare and Mrs. Walton is an officer of the Shakespeare club in Flagstaff, which is their home. Months ago Mir. Walton began to plan for visit to Phoenix when the Shakespeare season opened in the local play houses. He saw by the Republican a couple of months ago that Marie Wainwright was scheduled for this village, so Mir. and Mrs. Walton immediately came to town. Miss Wainwright's intentions were good but she was betrayed by the Gila river as were several other notable artists that invade the legitimate from time to time. MT. and Mrs. Walton have been here ever since waiting for Shakespeare to fill dates, and now they are going home. Hanford will be here in few days, unless the Gila river also plays him false, but Mir. and Mrs. Walton cannot wait. They are too long on earth to place any depend ence in Gila, and anyhow they figure that about two months year is all the time they can afford to devote to Shakespeare exclusively. - Republi- can.

Hymns You Ought to Know
HARVEST HOME.
by Dean Henry Afford.

(This song might well be called the
Thanksgiving Hymn" of the English
people. 1t was written in 1911 by the
Reverend Henry Afford d. u. Nondon,
Oct. 7, lSl0-Canterbury, Jan. T., 1S1U.
He was then dean of Canterbury Cathe-
dral, a post which he held until his
death. Afford is well known, both as a
preacher and writer. His Greek
Testament was for many years stand.
ard work. He is also the author OF sev-
eral fine hymns. In English churches
this hymn is always sung at the harvest
home services, which correspond to our
Thanksgiving Day gatherings. 1t has
also come into common Use in the
church services on our national day OF
praise. 1t is usually sung to the tune,
" st. George" composed by George /.
Come We thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home!
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied;
Come to Gods own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest home.
We ourselves are Gods own field,
Fruit unto his praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown
Unto joy our sorrow grown;
First the blade, and then the ear;
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord Of harvest! grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take his harvest home;
From his field shall purge away
All that doth offend that day,
Give his angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast;
But the fruitful ears to store
In his garner evermore.

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS.

Quicksilver and white of an egg de-
stroys bedbugs.
Camphor put in drawers or trunks
will keep away mice,
Keep an account of all supplies,
with cost and date when purchased.
The dirtiest fryingpan will become
clean if soaked five minutes in am
monia and water.
To bring out the brilliancy of cut
glass, ammonia should be placed in
the water in which it is to be rinsed.
To take care of silk dresses properly
they should never be brushed, but
rubbed with soft piece OF merino.
Some housekeepers pnt a peeled
onion inside fowl that is to be kept
for any length of time. This absorbs
germs.
To clean sponges when very foul
wash them in diluted tsrtaric acid,
rinsing them afterward in water; it
will make them very soft and white.
Discolored sancepans of enamel can
often be made to look like new by
boiling little chloride of lime in the
water with which they are filled.
Women who do their own washing
should, when finished, rub their hands
with dry salt. This brings out the
soap and makes the hands more agree
able.
A good polish for stoves is made of
one teaspoonful OF powdered alum
mixed with the stove polish. The
brilliance that this mixture will give to
a stove will last for long time.
1t is q fad to have sofa pillows com.
bine as many shades of one color as
possible without introducing q foreign
tone. Various shades of red which
harmonic we'll are excellent for q
couch.
If you have q jardiniere of ferns be
sure to give them plenty of water. A
fern that has become thoroughly dry
once or twice is practically ruined; at
least it will never have the same old
strength again.
In packing a trunk, use heaps OF
paper with tailor-made garments, and
pack them as much like mans suit
as possible. Never forget that wrinkle,
and many other wrinkles will be avoid
ed. And of materials, remember serge
and most voiles pack msgnificently,
alpaca always creases, faced cloth
wants care, cashmere does crumple,
but soon shakes out. Velvet, of course,
must never be creased at all; crepe de

treated with discretion.
Housewives are often in dilemma
as to what to do with leftover corn.
bread, gems, biscuits, etc. They hate
to throw them away, and to serve them
cold savors too much of economy.
Sprinkle them with cold water, place
them in a deep baking dish or pan,
cover with tin and set in q moderate
oven, letting them remain there for
about 10 minutes. They will come
from the oven almost as good, if not
quite as good, as new. Only enough
for single meal should be heated at
one time, as all warmed.over breads
and cakes dry quickly.
