RACING MAY LIVE
WITHOUT BOOKMAKERS

LEXINGTON, KY. February 9.-John E.
Madden. turfman and breeder. declares that
the measure just passed by the authorities
OF Tennessee against betting on race tracks
is taken too seriously. and thinks it will
prove a blessing in disguise, bookmaking
not being necessary to render race meet
ings successful in that or any other state.
Remember he said, that this law re-
Gently passed does not make contests be-
tween horses and the prizes therefor lille
gal, but is aimed at the bookmaker. The
loss of the revenue derived from the book
makers will, of course, be felt, but the de-
mands on bookmakers in the west have
been extortionate, resulting In unduly large
profits to the track owners, and II these
owners can only content themselves with
q moderate profit / believe the gate money
will furnish it.
The enormous attendance at the country
fairs In states where no betting Is per-
mtted goes to prove the attractiveness OF
racing, either running or trOtting, to the
general public
THE love of racing where properly con-
Quoted has of late years taken too deep a
hold on the affections of the American
people to be eliminated from its list OF out
door pastimes
My suggestion to you managers and
owners of Tennessee race tracks Is to con-
vert your betting sheds into saddling pad
docks, with balcony to give the faiT sex
an opportunity to view the thoroughbred
as he is saddled for his race, and you will
hear the words, L bet you on all sides.
and further l venture to say that the gate
receipts will surpass those taken when
the bookmakers instead Of the thorough
bred held sway.
Racing in Kentucky Will Be Limited.
LEXINGTON, KY. February 9.-The Ken
lucky racing Commission, in session here yes
terday afternoon. granted a license to the
new Louisville Jockey Club to Douglass
Park. of Louisville; to the Racing Associa-
ton at Lexington. and to the Latonia Rae
ing Association. The meeting then ad-
journed until February 16. when representa-
tives of each track were invited to be pres
ent and dates will be allotted for the va
rious meetings.
The following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved. That it is the sense of the COM
mission that there was too much racing in
Kentucky during 1905. and for the best in
terest of racing dates should be reduced

Sage and Green Tea for the Hair.

Sage and green tea make Il hair
tonic that has in many instances abso-
lutely arrested the falling hair that is
SO noticeable in the autumn, especial
ly if women f&ve INDUCED in much
sea bathing without being careful
about rinsing out the salt water. This
tonic is not injurious, as are so many
that contain alcohol and bay rum. 1t
has, however, II decided objection to
housekeepers who have a tender re-
gard for the appearance OF their beds
it will stain the linen unless the
hair has been perfectly dried before
retiring.
To make this tonic take one ounce
each of green tea and dried garden
sage and pour over it one and a half
pints of boiling water. Steep in a
covered TEAPOT until reduced one-third.
Remove from the fire and let the mix
ture stand for "a hours before strain
ing and bottling.
In applying this, as in fact all tonics,
see that it is rubbed into the scalp in
stead of being carelessly put on the
hair. Massage thoroughly for at least
ten minutes.

CARE OF WAxED FLOORS.
Pure T%urpentine the Best Thing With
Which to Clean Them.

Those who have waxed floors in
their dwellings know, according to In.
doors and Out. how invaluable turpen-
tine is in cleaning them. With sand
paper or steel wool, dipped in turpen-
tine, the blacklist coating, which is apt
to accumulate in winter ON waxed
doors not frequently polished, can be
easily and quickly removed; and a
washing with turpentine does much
to brighten up any waXed floor. pre-
paratory TO the application of a light
fresh coat of wax and polishing with
the weighted brush. AS with all other
painters materials, however, turpen-
tine is shamcfully adulterated, and
care must be taken to set only the
best and purest from some thorough
ly reliable dealer. The usual adulter-
ant is cheap benzine, and as benzine
turns good floor wax a dirty white,
turpentine so ~adulterated has an in
furious effect on the floor. The floor
WAKES made with tallow show less
effect from adulterated ~tuypentine, but
the wise householder will use only
those floor TX made with bees
wax and turpentine. with a little par
affine, but no tallow.

Pure Food.

The pure food law does not prohibit
tne sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is a well
known fact that a baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. DR.. Herman
Reinbold, the expert German chemist,
in a recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that a pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream of
Tartar powders. He says that if the
quantity of alum contained in a suf-
ficient quantity of baking powder for
a batch of bread or cakes for an ordi-
nary family, be concentrated to one
mouthful Of food, and taken into the
stomach of any one person, no matter
how delicate, it could do no harm.

HOUSE CLEANING IN FALL.
Cellar Is One Important Point to al
Considered.

The house does not get so dirty
during the summer that a general UP
heaval is necessary for fall house
cleaning, though there is one place
where the greatest attention must be
given, and that is in the cellar. Damp
days, together with the decayfng yege-
tables and fruits stored in the cellar
and the unavoidable dirt which is GER
tain TO accumulate, makes it really
necessary to hang UP a red light in
that apartment unless the cellar is
properly cleaned during the fall.
Often the cleanest house will have
a cellar in the most disrepatable ON
dition with spoiled fruits, vegetables
and the like, making it Il hotbed of
diseases. Have the cellar walls swept
and literally whitewashed, clean the
floor n sprinkle with lime. Every
box. cupboard and boarding place
should be thoroughly cleaned with hot
water and soap. Ii there is any per
ceptible dampness, the cellar should
be aired, if possible, and often this
can be overcome by burning a small
gas or Oil stove in the cellar for one
day. No difference how nicely one
may prepare canned fruits and pre-.
serves, II the cellar is in a damp con-
dltlon everything will mold and in
many cases sour and spoil. One days
work, even though it be arduous la
bor. Will save the summers work
represented in the canned fruits, jel-
lies, etc.

NOTHING HID. FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps in Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German enlperor's interest in
everything that goes on in the world
is well known, but few are aware of
the trouble he takes to keep in touch
with current affairs. According to a
Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day, chang
ing the list several times a week in
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas Of all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
well as that of the interior. has to pro-
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
named and dated, and pasted on slips
ready for the emperor's perusal.
These he carefully reads. making mar
ginal notes as he goes along. and they
are then s~crUpulouSly classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer.
ence. Often, too, the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially Interested.

FURIOUS HuMoR ON CHILD.
itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body
Nothing Helped Her-Cuticura
Cures Her in Five Days.

after my granddaughter of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about a
fortnight later by a furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms, of considerable size.
She suffered a great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think
of. Nothing would help. We tried the
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty
four hours we noted considerable i'm
provement, and after using only one
complete set of the Cuticura Remedies,
in five consecutive days the little one,
much to our joy, had been entirely
cured, and has been well for a long
time. Mrs. +. Ruefenaeht, R. F. d. No.

HOME-MADE REMEDY
INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PRE-
PARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache
and Overcome Kidney Trouble and
Bladder Weakness Though Harm
less and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, as formu-
lated by a noted authority, who claims
that he has found a positive rem
edy to cure almost any case of back
ache or kidney or bladder derange-
ment, in the following simple prescrip-
ton, if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
unces Shake well in a bottle and
take in t~easpoonfu! doses after each
meal and AGAIN at bedtime.
A wa1.nnown authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated
that the ingredients are all harmless,
and car be obtained at a small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy,
or the mixture would be put up if
asked to do so. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no rea-
son why it would not be a splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary trou-
bles and backache, as it has a peculiar
action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these Most important or
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those who suffer
can make no mistake in giving it a
trial.

She marveled at everything until
they sat down for luncheon. They
had gone into the Astor house for that

lost on the visiting country hostess, as
she looked open-eyed at the crowds
that filled not only the corridors but
the restaurants. Scarcely had they
found seats, when this amazement
took definite shape.

On Wit and f1umor.

Man is the only animal that laughs
and weeps, for he is the only animal
that is struck with the difference be-
tween what things are and what they
ought to be. We weep at wha.
thwarts or exceeds our desires in seri-
matters; we laugh at what only
disappoints Jul expectations in trifles.
We shed tears from sympathy with
real and necessary distress; as we
burst into laughter from want of SYM
pathy with that which is unreasonable
and unnecessary, the a~bsurdity of
which provokes Il spleen or mirth,
rather than serious reflections on it
