Great stress has been laid on
the alleged fact that the expense
Of a recorders court here will be
but $720 a year. This is mis-
leading whether intentionally so
or not, we do not know. The bill
says the compensation of the re-
corder shall not be less than $50
per month, but there Is nothing
in the bill to prevent the alder
men paying this official $1,000 a
year, if they see fit to do so. b.
sides this the bill provides for a
recorders clerk, and he will have
t, be paid. There is little need,
we think, to worry over the mat
ter, for it is doubtful if the meas
ure will be carried at the election
i'll May. However, when we at
tempt to explain the provisions of
the bill to the voters of the city,
it is just as we'll to state facts and
not draw on our imagination.

If a watch Is expected to go well
and to keep good time, the first and
chief demand 1T makes is that 1t should
have regular attention, says the Pitts
burg Press. AS far as possible it should
be wound up every day about the same
hour, and If it is worn let it be worn
regularly, not taken out for three days
and then returned to its case for the re-
mainder of the week. Extremes Of
temperature should also be avoided,
as sudden cold or heat works havoc
with a valuable watch and its delicate
mechanism. Another point to be noted
Is that the watch should be kept in the
same position. If it Is carried by day
In an upright position, hang it on a
hook at night, preferably against some

It has been circulated that the
friends of prohibition in Sails.
bury are making preparations for
the purpose of holding an election
IN Salisbury at some early date.
We do not doubt that these good
people would gladly take advant-
age of any favorable opportunity
that might present itself. But
after careful inquiry nothing can
be learned of such a movement,
in fact the report seems to have
been circulated for reasons just
the reverse, in other words to
tighten the bar men into a more
determined fight against Mr.. Van
derford and thus possibly aid in
Boyden's reelection. That is all
there is in the story, merely a

CARE OF CLOTHES.

How a Well Dressed Woman Looks
After Her Dresses a,a Eats.
The woman who knows how to put
away her belongings is not only neat,
but economical and generally smart in
appearance, says the Kansas City Star.
When she comes in from a walk b
never hangs up her coat by the loop
inside the collar. If she puts it away IN
the closet she uses a coat hanger; If b
leaves it around the room, knowing she
may need it soon, she disposes it over
the back Of a chair that will keep 1T in
shape. The skirts of her gowns never
have a stringy look because they I
always hooked and then hung by two
loops. For a tailor made SKIRT she uses
a small coat hanger with the ends bent
down a little. This keeps the skirt in
excellent shape and causes it to hang
in even folds. The strings Of her IN
derskirts are tied and the garment Is
hung by the loops, thus never showing
a hump where it has rested on the
hook. For the same reason her shirt
waists are always hung by the arm
holes, unless they have hanging loops.
Handsome waists have both sleeves
and body stuffed with tissue paper and
are then laid in drawers or boxes.
Shoes are easily kept in shape by
slipping a pair Of trees into them as
soon as they are removed from the
feet, If trees are not available, news
paper will do, if it is stuffed in tight.
1t Is we'll to roll each veil on a stiff
piece Of paper. A single foil will often
spoil the set of a veil and sometimes
ever mar the expression Of a face
Gloves should always be removed by
turning them wrong side out. They
should then. be turned back again,
blown into shape and each finger
smoothed out. Ties, especially fourth
hand or golf ties, should be hung to
avoid creasing.
Hats, of course, should be kept out Of
the dust and placed so that the trim
ming will not be disarranged. This dis
position depends so much on the hat
and the available space that each wo-
man must use her own ingenuity.
However, it is safe to say that no hat
should be laid flat down on a shelf.
Furs, also, should be protected from
dust, and a muff should always be
stood on end.

tightly over this some thick brown

It may be necessary in some cases to

No woman. except on the stage, ever uses
feather buster.
But principally young men undertaking to
become the husband OF a modern girl must
have instructions in dishwashing. Unless
he has a home training in the art he will
destroy all the wedding china in a half
year-and as every married man knows,
the first white and gold plate he breaks
marks the beginning of the wane Of the
honeymoon, and many divorce suit has
resulted from the careless demolishing of
a hand-painted cup. Unfortunately, the
honeymoon is the most dangerous period in
which to break china. No bride will forgive
the breaking Of anything except the vase
her bitterest rival sent. After the first baby
arrives the husband can smash all the dish
ware he can--and never be rebuked, but un-
fortunately It is seldom the first baby ar
rives until some time after the wedding
This is the proper way to wash dishes:
Provide yourself with three large, clean and
soft dish towels, a cake Of good coap and
big soft dish rag, with plenty Of hot water
Never attempt to wash dishes with cold or
lukewarm water.
Before starting scrape and pile up In
their proper sizes all plates, saucers, cups
etc.
Always wash the glasses first, in the hot
test water possible, with plenty Of soap.
and, after washing rinse again In hot
water wiping Immediately. This will re-
suit in perfect cleanliness as well as beauti-
full luster. The silver should be washed
next, and wiped carefully. Do not make the
mistake OF nesting the glasses-they break
easily when hot. Put the glasses and sill
verware away. then take the cups, then the
saucers
Change the water. wash the dish rag and
change dish towels after the silverware and
after the dinner plates Wash the soup
plates last Of all the china, then change the
water again. get coarser dish rag and
securing soap and tackle the tins and irons.
Always dry skillets, pots, roasting pans,
etc, before putting them away by standing
them for a moment on the hot stove.
