Bath bags are very nice, but to the

oatmeal, two quarts of clean bran. one

almond meal, one pound Of pure white
CASTLE soap dried and powdered, three
ounces Of primrose sachet powder.
ANY other powder win do as well, al
though this is particularly sweet and
fragrant. Keep the mixture in a glass

A Wesley Anecdote.

It is said that Charles Wesley was
sometimes easily annoyed, and on one
occasion at conference he became so
lrritated at the prolix remarks Of a
speaker that he said to his brother:
"stop that mans speaking. Let rs
attend to business"
But the offender was relating his re-
ligious experience. and. though 1t was
at SO great a length, John Wesley evil
iently thought that no one had right
to interfere with 1t. He was therefore
allowed to continue, but the moment
came when Charles could contain him
self no longer.
Unless he stops" he whispered TO
John, 'I'll leave the conference"
By this time John was enjoying the
mans simple story. and he only turned
and whispered to some one sitting
near:
"Reach Charles his hat"

the head of that organization for some
fifteen years no more need be said to
explain the value of her services or the
esteem in which she is held.
Mrs. Rodgers in her girlhood was a
shoe worker, and she Joined the Order
Of St Crispln in 1878. Later she be-
came active in the knights OF Labor
and was elected master workman of
a local assembly, serving two terms in
that position. At the Cleveland CON
vention of 1888 Mrs. Rodgers was
chosen general organizer for the
knights OF Labor, and subsequently
she organized the womans Catholic
Order of Foresters, with which she has
since been identified.

RemovinE the colIar Line..

There are two ways Of removing the
dark collar line about the throat. One
is to apply peroxide of hydrogen by
means Of bit Of absorbent cotton or a
soft cloth. Apply two or three nights
until the stain is bleached of. In
couple of weeks this should be accom-.
plished. The other way is to rub cold
cream or yaseline well into the throat,
letting it remain all night. then wlplng
or whatever excess of grease there is
In the morning and bathing with soap
and hot water. Do this every night for
two or three weeks, and the dark line
will gradually disappear.

Santa Claus in Japan

The Christmas exercises at
the Baptist Church, on the ev-
ening of the Oath, greatly de
lighted a large audience. The
young people and children gave
a cantata entitled Santa Claus
in Japan. Two little Ameri-
cans, Bobbie and Priscilla, who
are making their home in Ja-
pan, send a letter to Santa to
visit the Japanese boys and
girls. OF course he comes and
receives an enthusiastic recep-
ton by the lads and lassies Of
the Island Empire. The Jap
anese costumes, all home made
and the decorations and Christ
mas tree, were exceptionally
pretty. An offering of over
twelve dollars to Sunday school
work in Japan was one very
practical feature of the evening &
The entertainment received the
warnest praise of everyone
present, including two natives
of the Nippon land, one of
whom kindly contributed a
copy of his country's banner
deftly painted by his own
hand.

CORRECT STATEMENT
Given by Sup't. Stockwell OF Invest
ment of School Funds.

The following statement is
sued by State Superintendent
w. L. Stockwell, secretary of
the board of University and
and School Lands, will be of
interest Just now that the pub
lie has had it's attention drawn
to the investment of the per-
manent funds of the various
state institutions and of the
common schools. Numerous
erroneous statements have app
peared in the press of late bear
ing upon this subject, conse-
quently this authentic account
will be more than welcome.
Since March /, 1907 the Board
of University and School Lands
has invested 81, 086, 900. 90 divid-
ed among the following classes
of securities; Farm loans $4O1, .
400. 90, school bonds $479, 900. 90
municipal bonds $151, 10000,
county and township bonds
$54, 10000. Inasmuch as there
has been some question as to
the boards attitude toward
farm loans, it should be noted
that since March 1, when the
amended law relative to farm
loans went into effect, $4O1, 400,
has been invested in this way
or an average of $44, 10000 a
month. BY months the farm
loans made are as follows:
March nothing, April $500. 90,
May $27, 10000, June 81, 100. 90,
July $42, $4,000, August $22,-
10000, September $40, 900. 90,
October $45, 90, November
meeting adjourned to Dec, 5,
$177, 10000 making a total of
$4O1, 10000 or more than four
times as much as all outstand-
ing farm loans prior to March
1, 1907. There are still pend
ing applications for farm loans
of over $175. 600, 90 and for the
first time in more than five
years are the applications for
loans from the school fund
more than the amount avail
able for investment. I,-..

Our corner in The Courant
has not been up to the standard
in the past few weeks owing to
the fact that we have been suf-
fering from an attack of typhoid
fever. The bearded old reaper
with the scythe stood afar off,

himself if he were to come near
enough to NOW us down per-
haps; anyway, we are here.
We learned great m 1any
things during our illness,
among others that dogs a d
chickens are troubled with in

do a vast amount of barking
and craving between the hour
when graveyards yawn, and the
dawning of morning. That our
physician, which a most COM
petent one, is an awful bear,
and never seems to agree with
us about what we want to eat,
insisting that we drink milk,
when we want roast turkey or
pOrter-hOuse steak. We also
made the discovery that we
have as many as six friends,
counting some children, and
this last fact is most gratifying
to us, since we have never
heretofore supposed that we
were possessed of any. AS we
have said in the beginning,
here we are, and we wish our
readers a bright new year.
