Goodbye to the Washboard.

The labor-saving idea very properly
enters largely into devices and means
to tighten the labor of women. Those
who have been accustomed to devoting
one day of each week at the shrine of
the washbOard will be delighted to
learn of the new self-washing soap
made by the Maple City Soap works,
Monmouth, Ill. This new labor-SaYing
soap makes wash day a weekly picnic
by cutting out the labor of rubbing and
shortening the time of the cleansing
process one-half. The dashboard may
be dispensed with, and by following the
printed directions on each cake of the
soap the work is a question of minutes
instead of hours, while the life of the
garments is heightened and the
strength of the woman saved. Maple
City Self-Washing Soap is a white bar
soap made from the best and purest
materials, and while cleansing perfect
ly, viii not fade or injure \he finest
fabric. This soap may be used in any
way for general purposes, but its chief
value is in the laundry. Every woman
owes it to herself TO secure the half
day that can be saved by this new
method of washing. Remember the
name, and get Maple City Soap for
next weeks wash.

The WAY TO BUY Tools.


When the great difference in service
between good tools and poor ones is
considered. it is surprising how many
people buy tools haphazard. When a
man goes into a hardware store and
asks simply for IAN axe" or half
inch chisel," he runs the risk of get
ting a tool of doubtful quality, and he
has only himself to blame. 1t will pay
every tool buyer to acquaint himself
with the brand that distinguishes the
best tools the country OVer-the mark
that guarantees complete satisfaction
in every kind of tool. This brand is
Keen kutter." Keen Kutter tools
have been the standard of America
for over thirty-siX years. They were
awarded the grand prize at the world s
fair. st. Louis-the only such award
ever made to complete line of tools.
The fact that the Keen Kutter brand
covers all varieties of tools makes it
an exceedingly easy matter to be sure
of getting the best in any kind of tool
the one name, Keen Kutter, being
all that the buyer has to remember.
Keen Kutter tools are sold by leading
hardware dealers everywhere. If your
dealer does not keep them, write to
the Simmons Hardware company, St.
Louis, or 29S Broadway New York,
and they will see that you are supplied.

AFTER TIiE COIN

A resolution was offered Tuesday
by Mr.. DAVIS of Preston county, in
structing the sergeant. alarms to is
sue orders, TO be honored by the
State Auditor, for the payment of
the per diem of the members and
attaches of the house. -Ex.
Uncle Joe has always been noted
as a good iinancier. Leader.
This Is the kind of legislation that
the farmers of Preston county will
appreciate. They know that when
the members feel secure in their per
diem that it will act as a stimulate
and cause them TO work the harder
to enact laws which will lessen the
burden Of taxation which the farm
ers are groaning under at the pres
ent time. The new tax laws simply
adds to the burden. and Delegate
Davis has the opportunity of his life
to wipe out his vote on the infamous
tax law Of the special session by
introducing a tax bill which will
compel the Standard Oil Company,
the railroads and other corporations,
which are virtually exempt, to pay
their portion of the taxes.
Uncle Joe processes to be a far

caught with the hay seed in his hair,
when the thTeshing season is in full
operation, and he can make himself
just as popular with the farmers, as
he has by his per diem bill with the
members, if he will mount his chair
and cry out in laundering tones for
a reduction in the farmers taxes.
We have another suggestion to
to offer to Uncle Joe which will i'm
mensely increase his popularity with
the farmers, namely, to get a bill
through the Legislature compelling
every member who travels on a rail-
road pass to turn into the State
Treasury the amount of money al
lowed him for ruilroad transporta-
ton. We believe we betray no
confidence when we say that he will
have the hearty cooperation of the
anti-pass member from Taylor coun-
ty, DR.. T. +. Lanham. Those
close to Uncle Joe allege that he
always walks or pays his railroad
fare, therefore he should feel nc
embarrassment to champion bill
of this character. If Uncle Joe
does this we will be prepared to be.
lieve that he does not present one
of those artistic cards which the
conductor returns to him after max.

erwise we will be inclined to think
that he Is willing to rest his reputa.
