Rinse Out Soap.
All women with heavy heads of hair know
how difficult it is to rinse the soap enti1 ely
out of their hair, for no matter how thor
ougEly they may Try, there is generally a
little left in. which often comes off on the
comb several days aftarward. If after a
good rnsng in three waters the juice of a
lemon is added to the fourth and last wa
ter, having the bowl about half full of luke
warm water, you will find the hair will dry
glossy soft and with absolutely no trace of
soap left in it

New Furniture

of the newest sets is in plain wood, not
highly polished. This set consists of
beistead. bureau, wash stand. two chairs,

and costs $40. At a higher price there is a
most attractive set of the same number OF
pieces, which is enameled in soft shade

+. m.
Madison. Jan. %


System and order will be achieved
in the work of legislation during the
present session if plans agreed upon
yesterday by meeting of the cnalr,
men of committees OF the senate and
assembly can be successfully followed,
The plan is simply to classify and
group the various subjects OIL legisla-
ton and to take them up in ordo' and
complete them,
Coupled with this pan was another
which is expected to greatly iaCii-
tate and expedite legislation; namely,
to call the roll in both houses at 9
O'clock in the morning, take adjourn
ment to / in the afternoon, and work
industriously in committees in The
meantime, except for two hours for
lunch. The reason for calling the roll
at O'Clock is in order to get the
members together at one time, ami
then they will all be on hand to begin
the committee meetings without delay
1t is contemplated that the committees
can get to work by not later than
9;l5, and will have nearly ,aree hours
for work before noon. Then they VIII
have two hours more Tor committee
work in the early afternoon and will
go to the main session OF the day, at
1 o'clock, with a goodly amount Of
work accomplished The change from
former years will be simply to get
five hours of committee work in a day
instead of three. Formerly the com.
mittees sat from to o'clock, As
in former years, night hearings may

would of Itself greatly expedite the
work of the legislature. and both
combined are confidently expected to
shorten the length of the session at
least a month. A particularly valu-
able result of the classification OF
bills, other than that of expediting
legislation, is that it will improve the
final product of the session, and
make it more orderly, comprehensive
and practical in use. All the legis-
lation upon one particular subject
will be involved in perhaps one sin.

the date of his baptism, found in the
records of his parish church. namely.
April. 1854. Had he lived after Oliver
Cromwell conquered England in 1893.
no one would have been able to guess
even the year Of his birth. There was
no office for adult baptism in the Eng
lish prayer book until after the com
mOnWelth became a thing of the past:
then it was necessary to compose such
an Office for the convenience of peO-
pie whose baptism had been neglected
while Calvinism was rampant.
1t is to he hoped that the time will
come when all Christians will agree
upon the ACCESSIBILITY Of dedicating
their children to God in infancy, if for
no other reason than for the purpose
of allowing them to at least receive :.

to retain ever afterWard, because 1t

Everybody is on a diet, he said. Some
people drink at meals. some drink
after meals, and possibly some drink
under other circumstances. Some eat
meat, others do not touch it, and some
live on diet of water and nuts. If
these people were a little more careful
about their teeth they would not need
to be SO careful about their diet.
