BORAX IS NATURES
MINE OF PURITY FOR
DAIRY UTENSILS.

Borax is first. a cleanser that re-
moves dirt and grease with surprising
ease; second, 1t is a sweetener that
makes fragrant any surface that has
grown musty or stale from neglect;
third, it is an antiseptic or destroyer
of germs. 1t prevents the development
Of bacteria or mouldy growths. With
all this it is perfectly free from harm
in its resulting effects.
THE FARM CHURN is kept free
from that stale odor if it is washed
with Borax in the following proper
tions-1 tablespoonful Of Borax to a

THE DAIRY ROOM has nothing
about it but the pleasant aroma of
fresh milk and cream and sweet butter
if it is kept clean with Borax. There
will be no soapy smell and no lurking
hint of something gone wrong.

Fer THE HOME NURSE.
important to Remember When Caring
for the Sick.

r
The first rule in nursing, the first
essential to the patient, without which
all else you do is as nothing, is to
keep the air he breathes as pure as
the external air without chilling him.
Always have the window Of your
patients roc open, but not a window
on a passage just outside.
Place the bed in the lightest spot
In the room, and he should be able
to see u of the window.
The best bedding is an iron bed
stead, a hair mattress, no curtains or
valance, very light blankets for a
covering, as weak patients are al
ways distressed by weight in bed
clothing.
Cleanliness of the skin in almost all
diseases is of the utmost impor-
lance.
Care should be taken in sponging
or washing not to expose too great
a surface at once so as to check per.
spiration says Woman's Life.
Never allow a patient to be walked
out OF a sleep, either Intentionally
or accidentally, as this does serious
harm.
Do not whisper or walk on tip-toe,
as this is peculiarly painful to the
sick.
Remember, never to lean against,
sit upon, or shake, or even touch the
bed upon which your patient lies; this
is always annoying.
Do no talk to or allow your patient
to talk while taking his meal.

joyable ever prepared by local talent.

DR., RAGSDALE HAS
KEY TO SITUATION
VIII Refer Police Commission
Question to People
COURT BILL IS ALL RIGHT
6essemer People Not Afraid of Adolf
ton of the city court-Popular
Couple to Be United In
Matrimony.
COURT BILL IS ALL RIGHT

Bessemer january 26-(Special)-That
Dr. Ragsdale has found the best plan
for the settlement of the police commits
sion question is generally admitted on
the streets today. He is the originator OF
the suggestion that it be referred to the
people at the next primary election for
their decision, and thus allow those most
concerned to decide whether the commits
sion shall be abolished or allowed td
stand as it is
g. A Little, chairman of the police
commission, unreservedly agrees to the
proposition. He believes that when the
voters compare the administration of the
police force under the commission with
the time when the Mayor had charge
that they will not hesitate in their de-
cision. Mayor Sullivan is said to still IN
sist that the commission be abolished en-
tirely on the ground that the eitys laws
are not being strictly enforced.
DR.. Ragsdale returned with the Bes-
semer party last night, and was ON the
streets this afternoon discussing the mat
ter. With his support there remains but
little doubt that Bessemer will be given
a say in the disposition of her commits
sion. Action on the matter next week Will
be awaited with much interest, as there
Is no other question on the boards at
present of such Importance.
As reported from Montgomery, so 1t IS
in Bessemer, relative to the bill for the
abolition OF the Bessemer city court.
There is no discussion of the matter
whatever No one connected with the
court has any fear of its being passed,
but rather they await with confidence
the repeal of the Morrow bill and an
enlarged jurisdiction and power.

WINTER DAYS.

BY Ingram Crockett.
There is a beauty in the winter sky
That summer knows not, a diviner glow,
A chaster coloring, and the hills of snow
Are nearer heaven than the hills that lie
All indolent in bloom; the winds that sigh
Through brakes of drifted leaves and
murmur low
Their threnodies, a peace more perfect
know
Than those that daily with the butterfly.
Great thoughts are born in many a leaf
less way,
And faith that falls not when the stars
are hid;
And courage steadfast as the rocks which
break
Tho oceans rage-and spirits such as they
Who built this land-earth noblest pyra-
mid,
Which God forbid the storms of Time
shale shake.

WORST DRESSED YOUNG MEN.
Tailor's Unfavorable Opinion of Amer

why so2" asked the tailor's pretty
daughter
Because the college boy goes in for
such exaggerations," was the answer.
Because instead of following new
fashion with wise docility he enlarges on
it-develops it-until from comedy and
attractive thing it becomes the ludlcrous
caricature that we see on the minstrel
stage.
Look at these boys around you. Their
shoes, for instance The absurd thickness
and extension of the soles; and there is
one lad with straps and buckles instead of
shoe laces. Bah!
Look at their coats, their trousers,
their overcoats, their waistcoats. These
are not correct; they are not fashionable.
They are caricatures of the fashion
ludicrous caricatures.
'And that is the college boys trouble
He is not content to wear simply the cor
rect thing. The correct thing is not OBJ
trusive enough for him, and he is afraid
that if he wore it he would attract no
attention. Sc he exaggerates the correct
thing, and, If broad shoulders are fash
ionable his will hardly let him through a

ionable his trails the ground.
