Doing Good Business.

naO from competitors in the cities Just

Doing Good Business.
In securing trade from towns ada
cent to Walla Walla there is not a
business house in the city that does
not believe that the proposed inter-
urban electric lines are going to be a
big help in the right direction. In fact,
when these roads are built and run
ming, not a few retailers expect to do
third more business than they are
doing at the present time.
In connection with this trade from
outside points a reporter ran across
an incident yesterday that indicates
the way the wind is blowing. He
dropped into the Stockton Wooden
Mills at 147 East Main street and in
conversation with Manager Gumbert
the latter said:
"Our company has no kick coming
on the business it is doing"
But July and August must have
slowed the works down some," ans
wered the reporter.
Are Busy Months.
That's where you have another
guess coming" said Manager Gum
bert, 1--WE didn't expect it but July,
and August, so far, have been busy
months with us and we made many
suits of clothes. But I'll let you into
secret In these months our city
trade was not bad but what really kept
our tailors working over time were the
orders we booked from people who
reside out of town. During the past
two months we have made many suits
for Daytonites, Waitsburgers, Prescott,
Milton and Wallula people. The trade
secured from these towns helped us to
do a much greater business this sum-
mer than We expected to do"
The best of it," continued Mama
ger Gumbert, lis this; every day now
we have many people from the towns
just mentioned in the store inquiring
for our big line of new fall and winter
patterns that will be placed in stock in
a few days Well, their orders along with
those of our regular city trade indi-
Gates at this date that the coming
season is to be a busy one at the
Stockton Wooden. Mills"

THE HOME DOCTOR.

A little turpent!ne added to the bath water Is said to be good for rheuma- tism.
 A pinch of salt in a glass of warm water Is good for bathing weak or tired eyes.
 To treat a cut finger brush across the cut with collodion and keep the lips of the cut together till the collodion dries.
 Underdone beef and mutton are not unwholesome, but underdone veal or pork is very unwholesome indeed and often causes illness.
 It is we'll to remember that a fresh cold in the head may sometimes be broken up immediately if treated early by snufang warm salt water up the nose from the palm of the hand.
 A good poultice for boil is made as follows: Two tablespoonfuls of flax seed flour, a lump of lard as large as walnut and one white onion. Mix with sweet milk, stew until the onion Is soft and apply warm.

Damp Salt.

One of the petty annoyances of the table is damp salt, and housekeepers who are solicitous and particular about everything else seem to be singularly obtuse in this matter. Aside from the dampness of the salt, little attention is paid to the quality. It seems to be taken for granted that salt is salt, without any degrees of excellence. Nothing should be used but prepared table salt, which can always be got, and little trouble is now experienced in getting salt so prepared that 1t will shake out freely.
 In any case, the difficulty can always be overcome by heating the saltcellars before each meal. or by mixing corn starch with the salt in the proportion of one part of cornstarch to ten of salt. This proportion should be care fully preserved, as too much corn starch detracts from the seasoning properties of the salt.
 The heating of the salt vessels is the preferred method. The same observa- tions to some extent apply to pepper. Keep the boxes dry by heating before use.

How She Conquered.

Miss Josie Wanous. the only woman pharmacist who runs her own drug store in Minneapolis, has made a lit tie fortune out of shampoo bag of her own invention. She has refused $25,- GOO for the patent. She was the daugh- ter of Bohemian farmer, and the first money she earned was $2 q week at the stationery counter of village drug store. She studied pharmacy and got her license and then encountered the obstacle which rises before most young women endeavoring to enter the pro fessions. No pharmacist would em- ploy her as clerk. She worked at oth- CT things until she acquired the cap ital to start tiny store of her own and now has a handsome and commo- dlous store, in which she employs twelve assistants, in one of the best sections of Minneapolis.

CRYSTAL WEDDINGS.
An Appropriate Way to Celebrate
 These Anniversaries


 The "crystal wedding" commemo rates the fifteenth anniversary. Write your invitations with very pointed stick wet With mucilage, then sprinkle "diamond powder,' which is pulverized mica, over the paper and let it stand until the muctlage is dry Dust it off carefully, and you will find that the diamond powder" has stuck to the letters. Have as much glass on your table as possible Very pretty dishes of pressed glass can be bought for small amount Make a horseshoe of white glass beads and hang it over the table and run long strings of white glass beads from the chandelier to the edge of the dining table, Buy small white paper heart shaped boxes and fill them with candy. On the lid of each box write your husbands and your initials and the year of your we'd ding-1890 and 19O6-and sprinkle this over with the pulverized mica, says the Philadelphia Press. You could give one of these boxes to each of your guests as souvenirs of the occasion.

The Girls Den.

To girls who work or who are trying to improve themselves in any way a den IS necessity. This is a place where work may be left about without fear of its being spirited away by a tidy maid, where every sort of industry may be carried on whole heartedly and without fear of interruption. The moth- CT of the family should consider the den as the property of her daughters and only visit it at their urgent invi- tation. It is well for the different members of family to keep some place to themselves. for the mothers boudoir to be sacred place to which the husband and children feel it an honor to be admitted, for the daugh- ter's room to be a sweet. homely place where the whole family. if the girl wishes 1t, may assemble when the days work is done.

LinOleun m,

A household economics authority says: "In caring for lnoleum do not use soapsuds as for scrubbing a floor
 It stands to reason that soap is going to jure the yarn!Sh and the finish. On farm where there is plenty of milk cloth wrung out of skim milk is the best means of taking up the dust and brightening the linoleum Where milk is scarce or needed for food use luke warm water to which has been added half cupful of kerosene oil or some good furniture polish Wiring the cloth rather dry from this and go over the Inoleum after sweeping, and it will
 be quite new and bright and the fin ish uninjured. Most housewives scrub oilcloth and linoeum as though 1t were bare floor. It is dusty rather than dirty, since everything remains on the top, and for this reason a clean cloth slightly damp is all that is necessary"

never realized how well a woman made the acquaintance of one with q streak of practical economy in her makeup. Being a careful person, she wears her clothing slowly, but each season. with the aid of seamstress and first class fashion magazine, she makes slight changes in all her cloth ing, only enough to give them up to date touches. Whatever new garments she needs are purchased with an eye to future usefulness as well as present fashions. And she is always beautiful ly attrea. l happen to knoW that she spends very little money.-Woman Cor respondent i'll Minneapolis Tribune.

ed that the Alamo be sold to commer- cial concern, which wished to use it as a museum. The authoress of Mex icana" made sincere efforts to prevent this vandalism, but, unable to do so. purchased the building outright from her private funds for $75,000 and gave 1t to the state of Texas.
 Subsequently the state returned to her $65,OO0 of this sum, and it's action in making her custodian of the build ing Is only a fitting apprecia tion of her patriotism. Miss Driscolfs residence is at San Antonio Tex, and she owns an enormous cattle ranch at Corpus Christi.

CARE OF THE FACE.
How It May Be Improved In Texture
 and Complexion.

If more faces were really clean a great improvement both in texture and color of compleXions would be noticed. Even the woman who does not patron ize the beauty doctor can make use of up to date methods of cleansing her skin. After d day spent in grine and smoke the skin is i'll d condition that is beyond the reach of water, and unless one is careful as to soap and softeners it may do more harm than good. \ good cleansing cream Is a necessity. and it should be applied after a day spent in the open air and after leaving 1t on a little time washed off with a soft rag. After the cleansing cream a good astringent lotion may be sprayed in, as this completes the cleansing process and freshens one more than would be believed. The comfort of clean face quite apart from it's looks is altogether delightful, and, as one pa tron of the beauty parlor declares, Ut makes me feel rested and refreshed and in a good temper"
 When the pores are filled with a black accumulation of long standing steaming Is necessary, and this is also something that one can do without pro- fessional help. Rub in the cleansing cream, and after it has been on for 6 little while lay towel over the face that has been dipped in water as hot as you can possibly bear. holding it first over one part of the face and then the other
 The face especially is in need of treatment of this kind after exposure to strong winds. which dry and crack the skin and put ill many a wrinkle. Many Il bad complexion is from neg lecting the proper cleansing processes. and the improvement both in color and firmness that results from keeping up the habit of cleansing it properly al most is past belief.-Exchange

Hanging Sash Curtains.

Have you learned the trick of using quarter inch iron wire instead of brass rods for the hanging of sash curtains For the shans, the mantel and closet curtains, all the little extra "shirrs' put up in house decoration, it answers just as we'll and is about one-fifth the price. It is necessary to have little bottle of gold paint and to wash it, both for the sake of the looks and to keep it from rusting You can have it cut in lengths wanted at any hardware store and will be surprised at the pur- chasing power of the small sum of 10 cents when invested in It.

To Reduce the Waist Line.

Here are three exercises said to be excellent for reducing the waist line: The first Is bending one. Seat your self and bend forward until you touch your toes. Repeat seventy-fiye times. This is the rowing exercise. For the second exercise remain seated, throw up your hands and bend backward. Repeat fifty times. For the third ex- ercise remain seated and bend from side to side Saw this side and that until your hips feel Timber. This is a great waist reduction exercise.-Phil- adelphia Bulletin.

Hot Water Bags.

Before hot water bag Is put away 1t ought to be slightly inflated, says a careful housekeeper Otherwise the sides may adhere to each other and in pulling them apart the bag will almost certainly be ruined. In case the pre- caution has been neglected and the parts have adhered some hot water with few drops of ammonia should be put into the bag and, after few minutes. thin, dull edged piece of wood may be inserted carefully be- tween the two pieces of rubber.

 It is not often that the author Gf q musical comedy deserves to be known us d philanthropist, but Miss Clara Driscoll, who wrote the book of Mex ica2a," is the exception to this rule.
 Miss Driscoll is tine daughter of q wealthy Texas family, and her state has showered upon her numerous hon ors in recognition of her generosity in purchasing the historic Alamo, so gal lantly defended by Texans in their war of independence. That her action Is appreciated by her state Is shown by the fact that the legislature of Texas made Miss Driscoll honorary custodian of the Alamo.

School and Children Under Six.

That home is the best school for chii dren under six is the conclusion ar rived at by an English committee ot trained educators that has been in vestigating the results of schooling on babies of this tender age. The com mlttee reports unanimously against sending these tots to school. They find that not only do many derive no Intel lectual benefit from it, but, on the oth- CT hand, they seem to fall into a state of apathy with regard to books and their powers of observation. More play, more sleep. more story telling. more free conversation-these are rec commended by the English report as a substitute for schooling until the child is six

A Foot Test,

test for the perfect foot is made as follows: Dip your feet in water or flour, then walk quickly and natural ly across bare floor Now turn and examine the tracks made. If they show the outer rim of the foot straight, but the inner line breaking, leaving strong heel mark and a strong impress sion of the ball of the foot with q break in the line on the inner side where the hollow of the foot escapes the floor. your foot Is a strong, well arched one. and you should use your best endeavors to keep it so by wear ing good and well made shoe leather. If, on the other hand, the inner bor- der shows a continuous line, as does the outer, all is not well. and measures should be taken to alleviate that which is wrong, either in the shoe leather worn or in the ha bit of walking.

So much antique furniture is In use
at the present time that few sugges-
lions as to its care may not come
amiss. wipe each piece carefully with
a damp channels skin, rinsing out the
channels frequently to remove every
particle of dust, and give particular at
tention to the carvings. These may be
gently brushed with soft brush, such
as is used In furnishing silver, dipped
in Iukewarm winter In which little
soap has been dissolved. After drying
the wood, carefully rub In q little lin
seed oil and polish with soft cloth.
This treatment applies only to mahog-
any and oak furniture. A very good
dressing for black walnut and ebony is
made from half wineglassful each of
olive oil and vinegar and spoonful of
alcohol Llnseed oil with little tur-
pentlne added is also a very satisfac-
tory dressing. II there Is much carving
on the furniture the wood may be
cIeansed with parafln before polishing
