HINTS ON MAKING SHEETS.

I am going to tell you how make
my sheets. They give better salts.
faction than those one buys, which are
too short to suit me and do not wear
as long as homemade ones. Buy the
wide sheeting and allow 23-4 yards
for each sheet. That gives one-quar'
ter yard extra; turn under we'll at
the bottom, which protects the bed
ding as we'll at one end as the other.
Now when the sheet gets very thin
in the centre, tear off strip 20 in
ches wide and seam up both sides and
the bottom, turn two-inch hem at the
top and then there are two very good
pillow cases, one from each side. The
centre can be used to cover the iron.

prepared in the kitchen may be placed
in it, with the empty dishes on top.
The cupboard is then wheeled into
the dining room, where the dishes are
served from it, thus saving the many
steps back and forth to the kitchen.
The cupboard may be made with
little expense by any man who has
plane and a few other common house
hold tools.
The wheels and axles may be taken
from a discarded "go-cart,' or bought
at the baby-carriage factory. A list
of items for it's construction is as fol-

Anxiety In The Army.

The commissioned personnel OF
the United States Army, or, at least,
that part of 1t which is classed among
the field officers of the special staff
corps, is much disturbed over a dis
cussion which is rife in the War De-
partment. The question has been
raised as to the extent of the appl-
cation of the order issued some
months ago by President Roosevelt
requiring acrobatic horsemanship of
all officers, especially of those of the
field grades. This imposed upon
colonies, lieutenant colonies and ma
jors an activity in equestrianism
which struck the military personnel
as a dire visitation. 1t imposed upon
obese as we'll as indolent officers
celebrity and endurance which was
nothing short of youthful gymnas-
tics. 1t has occurred to someone
that, perhaps, the order might not
be relentlessly imposed upon the field
officers of the special staff CORPS
that is to say, the surgeons, quarter
masters and judges advocate, for in
stance, whose lives are sedentary
and whose duties keep them in the
large cities, where they do not have
the facilities for horsemanship with
out patronizing the livery stable.
1t must be admitted that military
horsemanship under such conditions
Is distracted by the trolley car gong
and the rumbling truck of commerce,
and it Is hoped by the officers most
interested that they will be able to
escape this exaction. On the other
hand, 1t must be admitted that even
the army commissary or the army
quartermaster or the judge advocate
of exalted rank is apt in time of war
to be required to mount horse and
keep up with the commanding gen.
erals staff in the field. If the Presi
dents order meant anything, it must
have been preparedness for war, and
the Army will not be prepared unless
these high-ranking staff officers do
their uncomfortable turn on horse
back.--Washington Herald.

MASSAGE FOR COLDS.

In European Russia there are 26,'
100000 mothers, of whom two-fifths
belong to the peasant or working
classes. Among these latter there is
a common treatment for collie in the
child.
When the pain begins the child is
laid on it's back and the stomach COW
cred with thin coating of any house
hold oil accessible The mother then
takes the palm of her hand and soft
ly rubs this oil into the skin. She
gives the palm a circular twist in do
ing the work and does not cease I'M
til all the skin of the stomach and
bowels is hot. When this condition is
reached she binds warm flannel
cloth about the stomach, restores the
childs night clothes and tucks 1t into
bed. 1t is said to be usually asleep
long before the cloth is bound about
it.
In the United States this method OF
curing collie has been developed into
a cure for appendicitis without use OF
the knife.-The Mothers Magazine.

IT had eczema nearly fifteen years. The

time and were always itchy, and could
not keep from scratching them. had to
keep both hands bandaged all the time,
and at night would have to scratch
through the bandages as the itching was
so severe, and at times would have to
tear everything of my hands to scratch
the skin. l could not rest or sleep. had
several physicians treat me, but they could
not give me a permanent cure, nor even
could they stop the itching. After using
the Cuticura Soap, one box Cuticura Oint-
ment and two bottles Cuticura Resolvent
for about six days the itching had ceased,
and now the sores have disappeared, and
l never felt better in my hfe than l do

PUTS THE GINGER" IN.
The Kind of Food Used by Athletes.

A former college athlete, one of the
long distance runners, began to lose
his power of endurance. His exper-
fence with change in food is inter-
esting.
while was in training on the
track athletic team my daily joys
became a task, until after was put
on Grape-Nuts food for two meals
day. After using the Food for two
weeks felt like new man. Ny di-
gestion was perfect, nerves steady
and was full of energy.
II trained for the mile and the
half-mile runs Chose events which
require so much endurance) and then
the long daily 'jogs,' which before
had been such task, were clipped ctf
with ease. won both events.
1.-The Grape-Nuts food put me in
perfect condition and gave me my
ginger Not only was my physical
condition made perfect, and myweight
increased, but my mind was made
clear and vigorous so that l could
get out my studies in about half the
time formerly required. Now most
all of the university men use Grape
Nuts, for they have learned it's value,
but l think my testimony will not be
amiss and may perhaps help some one
to learn how the best results can be
obtained"
There's a reason for the effect of
Grape-Nuts food on the human body
and brain. The certain elements in
wheat and barley are selected with
special reference to their power for
rebuilding the brain and nerve CEN
tres. The product is then carefully
and scientifically prepared so as to
make it easy of digestion. The ply
steal and mental results are so appar-
ent after two or three weeks use as
to produce a profound impression.

No Paper Money For The Indians.


There are two traits about the
American Indian that civilization and
contact with his white brothers can
not overcome" said Frank L. Camp
bell, who has spent several years as
a school teacher among the Sioux
and has learned to know them we'll.
Those peculiarities are his aver
sion to paper money and his appe-
tite for dog. An Indian will never
take paper money if he can avoid it..
He wants it, in the language of the
Sioux, 'muzza SKA which translated
means white iron. The red man can
not bring himself to believe that a
small piece of printed paper can be
worth as much or more than the
metal itself. Strange to say, an In
dian would also rather have 10 sill
yer dollars than one 10-dollar gold
piece. 1 do not know whether it is
because the 10 pieces of money APP
pear to be more or wh0her it is
simply because he likes to jingle the
coins.-Washingto Post.

JENKINS CASE DISMISSED.
Wife-beating Charged, But Collins
Could Not Find Victim.

Rockville Especially Ernest Jen-
kins, who several night ago engaged
in a lively exchange of shots with
Marshal Collins, of Glen Echo, when
the latter visited his house to place
him under arrest. on a charge of
beating his wife, appeared before
Justice Reading here for hearing.
Marshal Collins was on hand, and
explained that ever since the trouble
at the Jenkins home he had been
securing the country looking for Mrs
Jenkins to summons her as a wit
ness, but without success, and that
he had no testimony to present. JUS
tive Reading accordingly dismissed
the case.
The day following the revolver bat
tie Collins swore out a warrant
against Jenkins, charging him with
assault with intent to kill, but this
was withdrawn.

FAIR OPERATED AT A LOSS.
Montgomery County Agricultural So.
ciety Has Deficit.

Rockville Especially The direc-
tors of the Montgomery County Agri-
cultural Society met here and receiv-
er reports from the recent Rockville
fair. 1t was shown that the total
receipts were about $500 short of the
expenses, and about $1,000 below
those of last year, which was the best
year within the society's history.
The attendance this year was
about equal to that of last year, but
the receipts were less owing to the
fact that there were no pool selling
or other gambling privileges sold. In
order to make up the shortage, about
10 or Is per cent. will be deducted
from each premium.
The directors contend that this
year has demonstrated that the fair
cannot be successfully conducted
without pool selling.
