contest positively closes next Saturday. March "a.
There is nothing to be gained by waiting. For 65
cents you will get the entire $4,000, provided you
supply the correct missing word and else
succeeds in doing so. If there are two people who
supply the correct word, each sending in sub
scripton for equal number of months the premium
would be divided into two equal shares each person
receiving $4,000 Should four people get it they
would receive $4,000 each.

A Word TO
the Wise

If any person is absolutely sure that he has sup
piled the correct word he would better pay for
as many months subscription as he can possibly
afford. Five years subscription would cost but
$1,000, and considering the fact that if there is
more than one successful contestant the premium
is to be divided in proportion to the number of
monthly subscripti each has sent in, it would
be money in his pocket to subscribe for five years.
1t is up to you to. get much of this premium
as you can.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-18

other person should supply the word with two
months subscription, supposing these two to be the
only successful contestants you would get $4,000 and
the person who subscribed for months would get
only 5000. Is this not perfectly plain? There is
nothing more to be told. Simply send in your sub
scriphon for many months you feel you
venently Afford and supply words that
you think will correctly fit in the blank in the above
quotation.
1t is not necessary to look up the quotation, the
missing word is one to be found in any common school
dictionary.

Stop Nagging

Correction is noble beast, but nag
ging is the meanest mare in the
stable. The one is transformed into
the other by the potent poison of sell
fishness. Nagging is admonition; cec-
ond nagging is correction run to seed.
Admonition is progressive, nagging is
stationary. Admonition is sympathetic
judges. Admonition graciously leads,
nagging spitefully pushes. Admoni-
ton is a sagacious st. Bernard, nag
ging is swapping poodle. Admoni-
ton produces reformation, nagging
produces only evaporation.
There is a righteous indignation,
which is a teacher of righteousness;
but nagging is born of unrighteous-
ness Indignation. It's hidden source
is offended self-esteem. 1t is often
our duty to find fault, but it is more
more often our duty to stop finding
fault. To cease speaking is as great
an art as the art of speech. Better
corrections many times too few than
once too often. "Let your yea be
yea, and your nay, nay" applies to
fault finding as well as to explosives.
Here as elsewhere we are not heard
for our much speaking. True, "con-
slant dropping wears away the stone"
but in the matter of hearts, on the
contrary, constant dropping petrifies
them. "Precept upon precept, line
upon line"-but not the same line, nor
in the same place.

Care of the Hair

When the hair is lifeless, dry and
harsh, it is astonishing to note the
change in it from day to day, when
you give the scalp the daily massage.
Clipping the hair once month is
very beneficial. 1t removes the split
end of the hair and enables them to
continue their growth.
Brush the hair with soft brush to
remove the dust from it. Use stiff
fer brush when you wish to stimulate
the scalp by brushing. Keep the hair
clean and wholesome, and ventilate it
at least once day by shaking or fam
ming il. When you retire, remove
every hairpin and comb from the hair
and braid it loosely.
A first class quality rubber comb is
the best to use for the culture of the
hair; the ornamental ones are pretty
to look at, but are not So serviceable
as the plain, good quality rubber
ones
Allow no one to use your comb. In
many cases scalp affections and dis
ease have been contracted by the use
of another persons comb or brush.
Shun broken and rough hairpins;
they are injurious both to the hair
and scalp. Do all you can to promote
the growth and preserve the beauty
of your hair Added luxuriance is
added beauty in youth and guaran-
tee against hairlessness in age.

Stuffed Chicken Legs

For this dish use the legs of a
small chicken (the remainder can be

chopped tongue, chopped parsley, and
one egg. With this fill the boned

its skin, and sew up neatly with thin

etables, and little stock. When done,

Household Hints

An old fashioned remedy for sore
throat that is said to be effective is a
nutmeg worn on silk thread around
the neck. The hole through the nut
meg is made with a red hot awl.
A bottle of camphor or oil of cedar
with the cork left out, If hung on a
hook in the closet, will keep away
moths without imparting a disagree
able odor to the clothing
Now that strawberries are in the
market, try strawberry salad, some
thing which has the merit of novelty
and something beside. Make cups of
blanched lettuce leaves and put in
each few ripe berries. Dust with
powdered sugar, and place on top a
spoonful of mayonnaise into which
whipped cream has been stirred
III the carpets in summer are left
down and covered with linen they are
saved from moth ravages by brushing
the edges with hot solution of alum
and water and sprinkling them over
with powdered borax. If they are TAX
en- UP and put away borax will pre-
serve them as effectually and be far
less Objectionable than the dreadful
carbolic acid balls, whose perfume
cannot be mitigated nor overcome the
next season by any number of pot
pourri jars whatsoever.
In case of earache do not put any
thing into the ear except by direction
of physician. The best way to re-
1ieye earache is to heat an iron or a
brick. wrap it in two or three thick
nesses of flannel, pour warm water on
the top, when steam will at once rise.
Ii the ear is placed close to the fan
mel the steam will permeate every part
of it.
A shoe that is uncomfortable from
pinching may be eased by laying a
cloth wet in hot water across the
place where it pinches, changing it
as it grows cooler number O. times.
This will cause the leather to shape
itself 20 the foot.

easier way than wringing cloths out

a complete atlas of the world are alb
solutely necessary in every household
where the family is expected to be
cultured and read, as we'll as think,
intelligently.
Children taught to use these and
other reference books, with very lit
tie going to school, will be more thor
oughly educated when they grow up
than other children who have expen-
sive schooling, but no training in
looking up meanings, places and every
thing else that they come across in
their reading which is not perfectly
clear to them.
No. 3 on the list of desirable books
is classical dictionary. These three
should be always accessible and faith
fully used by parents and children
alike, for, after you show child
how to look up anything, il should do
that work of itself. The books ought
to be kept in one place on suitable
stands, and no one allowed to lift
them about from place to place. That
Is what damages heavy books. In
other words, not use but abuse wears
them out too soon.
In this connection it may as well be
said that children should be taught
early-just as soon as they handle
books at all-the proper way to open
and hold book. All heavy books re-
quire especial care. They should,
when too heavy for the hand, perpet-
ually rest on table or a stand. No
one should ever be allowed to lean
upon an open book. Those that can
be handled without effort should be
allowed to rest with their backs in
the palm of the hand while one is
glancing over them. This, Or course,
applies to books with nice bindings.
Any standard books of prose and
poetical quotations that are complete
come next in Importance for the fam
lily at home. All the books that one
wants to read can be found in the
public libraries, but, while reading,
these books of reference should be
very easily reached, and that is why
they ought to be the nucleus of the
home library. They make nice holt
day gifts, and have the advantage Of
growing in Importance the more you
refer to them. In this they differ
essentially from many things that
are given as presents.
1t is cruel to permit children to
grow up without being acquainted
with the void flowers that they meet
and the trees that they see as they
go about. There are delightful books

how to read can find out what they
are and to what family in plant life
