TO REMOVE MED1CrNE STAINS.

Stains made by medicine and IMMINENT
are often obstinate to remove in the hands
by an amateur. IodIne marks may be re-
moved by washing the spots with strong
ammonia until it fades, after which wash
with tepid water and strong soap.
Ammonia is equally good for removing
cod liver oil stains. Fuller's earth made
into a paste and thickly applied to the
spots win also remove them.

FOR A FINE COMPLEXION.

Bermuda onion sandwiches are said to

sides to the question. Those with a ten
dency to govt orr other diseases arising
from excess of uric acid should avoid
liquids until two hours at least after eat

there is no harm in drinking a moderate
amount at the end of the meal.

The styles of Today.

The fashions of the present
give us unlimited opportunities to look
like freaks, and it takes a careful per-
son indeed to choose something that is
stylish without being u~nbecoming. The
things look so pretty. in the shops, n
the saleswomen rave such persuasive
tongues, that before we know it we
have invested in something outlandish,
which we hate with the utmost fervor
after we have worn it a few times.
The cloak and skirt models in the stores
are SO pretty, and have such splendid
figures, that they look well in anything,
and we become so lost in admiration
OF garments as they look on them
that we forget that we are either too
short or too tall or too stout for those
things, and out come our purses.
1 When choosing a gown a woman
ought, first of all. to study closely her
own appearance and try to obtain a
gown or suit that is most becoming
to her figure, height and complexion.
If she does this she is not so apt to
make a. mistake. What looks very well
on q tall person is generally most un-
becoming to a short one, and vice versa.
Comparisons.
The fashions of today seem to be
made solely for the slim girl of me-
dunn height, and those who + either
a little too tall, or too short, or too
stout are having their own troubles.
A rather short skirt on a tall girl
will detract from her height, II 1t Is not
too short. but place one on a short,
plump girl. and you make her LOOK ike
a bag tied In the middle.
Men ought to be glad they do not
have to worry and fret and stew In re-
gard to what they look well In and
what does not suit them at all.
They Just march into their tailor's
parIor. look over some samples, pick
out a cloth they like. glance over the
style books, point to one that suits
them. and say. make me a suit
that, of this material. When shall
| come in to try it on?"
Next Thursday" say the tailor, n
the matter is settled, and the man for

try it on.

The committee ably and system

light shower just before the inau-
guration of the ceremonies gave a
delightful GOODNESS to the atmos-
phere.
At A o'clock a signal whistle
from the stave factory was follow

making a deafening noise, while a
cannon aided to the mingling
din. An immense throng of cit

A Runaway.

Quite an excitement was created
on Main street last Saturday by a
runaway team hitched to wagon.
The outfit belonged to Whitehead

Pink McGinny. In short run

team broke loose from the rum

who escaped with few bruises.
The team ran into the gallery of
the Damico Bros grocery and
and one horse fell heavily, but

NUMBER is
To the Voters of Winn Parish:

| take this method of an
nouncing to you that | am n
candidate for the office of assessor
of your parish, subject to the
action of the Democratic voters
at the next primary election.
In asking you for this office. !
| do so with a full understanding
of its responsibility, and know
that no office within the gift of
the people lees closer to their
hearts than does the office of
assessor; through the channels of
this Office are derived the
revenues that run the. govern
ment. And with us as with all
Others, the small taxpayer bears
the burden, while the property
owners use every device and
intrigue known to evade taxation:
If elected assessor. |. pledge you
now, that | will do everything in
my power to see that every tax
payer pays an equal proportion.
1t may not be amiss for me to-
say that | am opposed to the fee
system that prevails in our state,
it is wrong In principle, and in a
large number of cases the sal
aries paid are exorbitant; it is to
be hoped our next legislature will
enact laws to remedy this evil.
L believe that public officers
should be well paid for their
service, but in our parish, | feel
that the amount of compensation
received is out of proportion to
the work done, and while there
is no law to protect the people
in this, L have decided
and now say to you, that if
elected, l will assess all the
special school taxes free of cost,
thus saving to the school fund
about one thousand dollars per
year, according to the assessment
of 1906.
/ do not claim any special
qualifications to fill the office,
good common sense, good cler-
ical ability and a consciousness
of official duty are the require
ments.
/ vas born and reared in the
parish of Winn, have spent
nearly all my life here. and
thought there was nothing to
prevent me from aspiring to
make the assessment of the parish
for one term; l feel that my long
residence In the parish and
acquaintance with conditions will
enable me to make an equitable.
just and reasonable assessmett of
the property of every description
in the parish.
AS to my ability to do the
work. l cheerfully refer you to
anybody who knows me, and will
be glad for you to ask about me.
L am entering this race without
any strings tied to me, and solely
on my own merits. If elected, l
promise an honest, faithful dis
charge of official duties.
Trusting that / will have your
support.

Platform Of w. r. Adams.

of assessor for Winn Parish, La,
L have decided to announce
myself, and In so doing, will say
that l am a native Winn Parish
boy, was born and raised on the
east side of Dugdemonia, in ward
3; resided on. the farm; received
my little education (what | have)
in the public schools OF the
parish. 1 have taught school in
several different wards of the
parish and have been postmaster
at Wheeling, in ward 5, since
January, 1901, with the exception
of 1908 and 1904, during which
time l was living in Dodson.
ward Z.
As to my views regarding the
assessment of the parish, / be-
lieve that it should be equal on
all lands according to their cash
value. | believe that farm lands.
in present depressed condition of
farming, are assessed too high
and that timber lands are not
assessed as high as they should
be, and there should be an equal
izatlon of the assessment on the
various grades of land, so that the
burden of taxation should fall on
all property taxpayers alike; and
L do believe in educating the
rising generation. 1 believe that
there should be an 8 months
term of school in every school
district in the parish, and there
should be a special tax levied for
that purpose.
There being a doubt as to the
legality of the assessors author
ity to charge the regular percent
age for assessing those special 5
mill school districts over the
parish. l have decided to give
the doubt to the people, and if
l am elected to the office of
Assessor of the Parish of Winn,
| pledge myself to list all special
school taxes free of any per cent,
and that / will do all can to give
an equal and just assessment on
all property and that none but
competent deputies shall be
employed to assist in listing
property.
will greatly appreciate the
support of the people of the
parish.

Says the Shreveport Journal
of last Monday:
"An official of the fremont
and Gulf railway spent the dag
in Shreveport for the purpose of
checking up tariffs with the
freight agents of the railways
operating here preparatory to the
opening of his line next Sunday
from fremont to Winufield.
"The opening of the new line
is an important thing for North
Louisiana. About two billion
feet of lumber will be reached by
the road and a jobbing territory
OF thirty miles will be opened.
Because of the lines connection
with the Nicksburg, Shreveport
and Pacific at fremont, and also
because of the facilities between
Shreveport and Winfield, this
city is to be benefited by the
extension.
Three other extensions are
PINNED by the fremont and
Gulf. The company will build
one line from Skies to Jonesboro.
connecting there with the Rock
Island. Another branch will be
extended from Menefee west to
Pyburn and east to Rochelle.
"a large lumber company will
be opened by the lines and agri-
cultural lands now some distance
from railways will be reached by
the proposed route of the
fremont and Gulf Company.
Some of the most valuable land
in the state is located along the
right of way in jackson and
Winn parishes. A turpentine
plant at Womack will be devel-
oped by means of this railroad"

Winfield would soon become
