POINTS ON IRONING LACE.
Well to Remember If You Desire the
Best Results.

One of the points to remember when
ironing lace is to iron it we'll to the
width, so that the whole design of the
lace will show clear and distinct and
look as near like the new material as
possible.
To do this the lace must be careful
ly pulled to the width and then placed
on the table wrong side up and ironed
along the straight edge, holding the
lace up in front Of the iron so that
the toe of the iron may press the lace
to the width and also keep the sell
wedge straight.
Again place the lace fiat on the ia
bic and iron across the width, press
ing the toe of the iron into each point
until it is quite dry. If the lace has a
raised pattern, a thick piece of felt
or three folds of ordinary blanket may
be slipped under the ironing sheet
and the lace ironed over it. This will
raise the work considerably.
Very fine lace should be ironed
through muslin and never touched
with the bare metal.

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
lie Comes In With the New law-Paul
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
of New York has opened up a promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale Of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each of
which practically bears the hall mark
of the State of New York, and this new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on a correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
e~xtravagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead of selling it.
His place is being taken by profess
sors, lawyers, school teachers of both
| sexes, and others, who find that being
a life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system it's sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: 1--WE want new agents, both
men and women, but none except en-
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is a splendid
opportunity"
Mr.. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

What shall l eat?" Is the daily in

known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely of its merits.

Ghoets of Dead Lakes.

In the great basin between the
Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas lie
the ghosts of many dead lakes. Riv-
ers still flow down to the dry edge of
these one-time great reservoirs and
are licked up by evaporation and the
chinook winds. OF all the lakes that
once lay there, only Great Salt Lake,
Lake Tahoe and Bear Lake are left.
The Southern Pacific rolls for 165
miles across the bed of what was once
Lake Lahontan, and the passengers
gazing idly from the windows may see
the terraces and wrinkles in the crust
OF the fossil lake which nature robbed
and defrauded of it's crystal tre asures
ages ago.-EXchange.

BUSTER IS DOOMED
DANGER IN OLD-TIME BUNCH OF
FEATHERS.
tuberculosis and Many Minor Ills
Lurk in Its Wake-OnIy Proper
Way to Sweep a Carpeted
Room.

The committee on the prevention of
tuberculosis is trying to rid every
house of the old feather buster. The
recruits in the warfare against con-
sumption have taken up arms against
it. A good deal is heard about street
dust and soft coal as a nuisance and
as dangerous to the public health,
our own homes we often have a dan
ger that is perhaps just as great as
either of these. The old-fashioned
way of cleaning a room with a feath-
er busted is a real menace to health.
The men who have organized anti-tu-
berculosis movements have come out
with the following public announce
ment about sweeping and busting:
when you sweep a room raise as
little dust as possible, because this
dust when breathed ~irritates the nose
and throat and may set up catarrh.
Some of the dust breathed in the
dusty air reaches the lungs, making
parts of them black and hard and use
less.
ITO prevent making a dust in sweep
ing, use moist sawdust on bare floors.
When the room is carpeted, moisten
a newspaper and tear it into small
scraps and scatter upon the carpet
where you begin sweeping. AS you
sweep brush the papers along by the
broom, and they will catch most of the
dust and hold it fast, just as the saw
dust does on bare floors. Do not have
.ither the paper or the Sawdust drip
ping wet, only moist.
In busting a room do not use a
feather buster, because this does not
remove the dust from the room, but
only brushes it into the air 20 that
you breathe it in; or it settles down,
and then you have to do the work
over again.
Use soft, dry cloths to dust with
and shake them frequently out of the
window, or use slightly mOistened
cloths and rinse them out in water
when you have finished. In this way
you get the dust out of the room.
III CledllIHS IooIliS you sIouiu IL
member that dust settles upon the
floors as well as Oh the furniture, and
is stirred into the air we breathe by
walking across the floors. You can
easily remove all this dust in rooms
which have bare floors, in houses,
stores, shops, schoolrooms, etc, after
the dust has settled, by passing owe
the floor a mop which has been wrung
ping wet"

WEAK PEOPLE
MADE STRONG AND ENERGETIC
BY DIR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
General Breakdown Caused by Defi-
cient Blood Quickly Corrected by
This Tonic Remedy.

A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms of general debility.
You may thinktha they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better
soon. This is a mistake, for every one
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr. j. G.. Havey, of 95 Willow ST.,
Chelsea, Mass, says: II was sick for a
number of years from general debility
and indigestion. / was never free from
stomach trouble and my nerves were so
shattered that the least excitement I'M
fitted me for any serious work. Ny
sleep was restless on account of terrible
pains in the small of my back. These
pains would sometimes last for a month
or two. Mysight grew weak, there SEEM
ing to be a blur constantly before nv
eyes. I couldn't concentrate my mind
OF my work, and the attempt to do so
completely exhausted me.
81 was finally forced to give up a
position I had held for twenty-eight
years. After trying several medicines
without help, I read of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and gave them a trial. They
made me feel so much better and so
much stronger that I started in business
for myself here il Chelsea. I have
never had a return of my former sick
ness and cheerfully recommend DR.. Viii.
lams' Pink Pills as an excellent nerve
and blood tonic"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have long
been recognized as an excellent tonic
remedy in cases of indigestion and gen.
eral debility, where the stomach and
other organs of the body are weakened
and disordered simply through lack Of
proper nourishment. They have also
been especially successful in curing
an@mia, rheumatism, after-effects of the
grip and %fevers.

nervous and experienced a continual
feeling of uneasiness and fear. / took
medicine from the doctor, but it did me
no good.

SAHARA GROWING DRYER.
French Observer Says the Gases Are
Shrinking and Will Disappear.

c. F. Gautier, a French explorer, is
authority for the statement that the
Sahara is continuously becoming drier
to such an extent that the GASES are
perceptibly drying up and will disap-
pear altogether in a relatively short
time. He quotes historic records and
physical signs to show that springs
were at one time more plentiful than
now, and that the extent of the
patches where vegetation ffourishes
were much greater even SO to 100
years ago.
AS the climate of the region has un
dergone no change in perhaps thou.
sands of years, he believes that the
disappearance Of the water must be
due to purely mechanical causes. He
considers that 1t is due to the con-
tinual advance of the great sand
masses to the north, thus forming an
impenetrable barrier against the wa
tershed of the Atlas mountains.-N. Y.

Care of the Asparagus Bed After Cut
tina.

Cutting of the asparagus shoots
should not be done after the middle
Of June in the northern states and
should cease a little earlier in states
OF more southern latitude.
AT this time the whole bed, rows
and all, should be thoroughly cult
waited fully three inches deep. Pre-
vious to this the application of barn
yard manure is advocated by some
growers, but some of our most noted
experiment stations and most extern
slve growers of the product near New
York city and Philadelphia strongly
recommend the application of COM
plete commercial fertilizers instead,
with summer applications of nitrate
OF soda. $50 lbs. per acre of this lat
ter is sufficient and should be applied
twice during the growing months.
1t is claimed that manure contains
the seeds of ~noxious weeds which ma
ture and scatter before the aspara
gus tops are matured sufi GENTLY for
moving.
AS the asparagus crop is gathered
from the early shoots and these are
removed continuously for about two
months, therefore the roots are very
much reduced In vitality when the cut
ting season is over, and unless plant
foods, which are directly available are
supplied, there will be a poor growth
of top. If the tops grow rapidly and
strong, they aid in storing up food
in their roots.
A fertilizer we'll adapted to the
needs of asparagus contains
Nitrogen ............. 40
Available Phosphoric acid. so
Actual Potash ..........10%
One-half ton of this to the acre is
not too much, either applied broad
cast or along the rows, before the cul-
tivating is done.
Both nitrogen and potash in con-
siderable amounts are necessary. or
the shoots will lack both fine flavor
and crispness. E. A. SEASON.
