HE Practical Idea,

A benevolent old man who lived on
his farm in Iowa never refused shell
ter to any who might ask 1t Of him.
His many friends demonstrated with
him about this characteristic, know.
ing that many interruptions hoboes
would avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunity, and that there was great dan
ger Of the old man being robbed. To
these remonstrances the old man re.
piled that he believed in practical
Christianity"
But" said one Of his friends, this
seems very impractical. Suppose one
Of these men took it into his head to
rob you ono night?"

God, but prove my belief in practi-

THE WHITE PLAGUE
SYSTEMATIC WARFARE WAGED
TO WIPE OUT CONSUMPTION.
Warning That intemperanee Increases
tho Liability to Contract Disease
NEGLECTED Colds 4 Prolific
Source.

Organized effort Is now being made
throughout the United Stated to fight
consumption. A warning is given
against Incorporate habits: which In.
crease the liability to consumption,
while splitting Is public places is de.
precated. as the disease is frequently
contracted from dried sputum.
Colds should not be neglected, az
they leave the lungs in q peculiarly
receptive condition for the tuburcu-
lar germ. The following simple for
mula will break up a cold in twenty
four hours. A leading authority on
lung trouble says that when pre-
pared from pure Ingredients, it will
cure any cough that is durable.
Take half ounce Virgin OIL of Pine
(Pure); two ounces glycerine and
half pint good whisky. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses every
four hours.
The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist
at small cost, and to avoid substitution
should be purchased separately and
mixed in your own home.
Virgin Oil Of Pine (Pure) is put
up in half-ounce Walls for dispensing.
Each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case, with engraved
wrapper, with the name-Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), prepared only by
Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, o.
plainlv printed thereon. There are
many rank limitations of Virgin Oil OF
Pine (Pure), which are put out under
various names, such as Concentrated
Oil Of Pine; Pine Balsam, etc. Never
accept these as a substitute for the
Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they will
invariably produce nausea and never
effect the desired result.

CARE OF CUT GLASS
HOUSEHOLD TREASURES EASILY
SPOILED BY MISUSE.
Slightest Scratch Made While Wash
ing or Wiping Means the End Of
Usefulness of that Partic-
uIar Utensii.

In reply to an inquiry how to clean
cut glass 'The Up-to-Date Waitress"
gives the following: Wash the glass,
one piece at a time, using soft
brush as needed. Great care must be
taken with the pans, towels, cloth
and water used in washing and wiping
glass. If glass be scratched in any
way, even slightly, it is weakened,
and is almost sure to break at that
point. One grain of sand, such as is
often seen in the bottom of pan
in which lettuce or spinach has been
washed, has been the occasion for the
loss of many piece of fine glass.
Glass that is deeply cut is not easily
dried; the moisture remains in the
crevices. Bury the glass as soon as
dried in a box of fine lockwood or
Eastwood sawdust (sawdust from
woods of a resinous nature are best
for this purpose). Let the glass stand
half an hour or longer, then remove
from the box, and brush with soft
cloth or chamois. Spread the sawdust
out to dry, then set aside to use again.
Japanese lamp shades grow more
beautiful each season. A few years
ago it was almost impossible to find
artistic shades, except those that were
made to order, and they were expen-
sive. The Japanese have solved the
problem in inexpensive lamp shades.
Many attractive paper designs are
shown in the shops. The frames are
of wood, lacquered black, and treated
in such a way that they are not
affected by heat. The paper is tough
and of transparent quality. The decor
ations are by native artists, in simple
but rich tones, and are very effective.
The Japanese bowls for lamps are the
prettiest, but there are some good
shapes in American pottery that COM
bine we'll with Japanese shades. The
bowls should be plain, but if little
decoration is desired, it ought to be
simple.
Occasionally, a tired member of the
family, or perhaps one who is i'll,
may wish breakfast served in his or
her room. A dainty individual ser.
vice makes the fitting out of the tray
an easy task. But in case one has not

daintiest china. Have the linen spot.
less, and the silver glistening. Let
the eggs be cooked just right, the
baked potato rolled in napkin, and
the toast we'll covered. Make the tray
attractive by laying the fresh fruit on
green leaves, and garnish the broiled
fish or chop with parsley or cress.
Ii eggs are to form the breakfast,
they should be removed from the
shells, or if poached, garnished with a
bit Of green.

Ownership Of National Banks.

The ownership of the national
banks of the United States is not in
the hands Of the rich few, as is COM
monty supposed, because fully one
half OF the banks have a capital of
less than 100000 each. Twelve per
cent. have capitalizatiens of from
$4,000 to $250,000, while only seven
per cent. range between $250,000 and
100000.

Thinks Little Of Chinese Army.

Thinks little OF Chinese Amy.
DR.. Morrison, the well-known CORE
spondent of the London Times at Pc
king, went to see the recent maneu-
vers Of the modernized Chinese army
in the neighborhood of Chang-te-fu.
He describes them as repetition of
the performance of 1864 set piece
carefully prepared long beforehand by
a number of Japanese advisers. The
ine1aciency of the officers is still con-
spfcuous and the field training of the
men inadequate, but the material is
good. DR.. Morrison hints that with.
out Japanese officers to direct affairs
the contending armies would have
been little better than a rabble.

TO give the place wide Dertn. NOW
they were making the best Of q hard
tourney to Serros, where they expected
hut little better success. He produced
certain papers Of Identification, which
Ouinnox examined and approved, much
TO Beverly's secret amazement. The
princess and the colonel exchanged
clances and afterward few words
IN subdued tones Yetive looked fur
lively at Beverly and then at Baldos
as If to inquire whether these men
were the goat hunters she had come to
know by word Of mouth. The two
faces were hopelessly noncommittal.
Suddenly Baldos' horse reared and
began to plunge as IL in terror, SO that
the rider kept his seat only by means
of adept horsemanshlp. Ravone leaped
forward and at the risk Of Injury
clutched the plunglng steed by the bit.
Together they partially subdued the
animal and Baldos swung to the ground
at Ravone's side. Miss Calhoun's horse
in the meantime had caught the fever.
He pranced off to the roadside before
she could get him under control.
She was thus In position to observe
the two men on the ground Shielded
from view by the body Of the horse
they were able to put the finishing
touches to the trick Baldos had cleverly
worked. Beverly distinctly saw the
guard and the beggar exchange bits Of
paper with glances that meant more
than the words they were unable to
utter.
Baldos pressed into Ravone's hand a
note Of some bulk and received in ex-
change a mere slip of paper. The pa
pers disappeared as If by magic, and
the guard was remounting his horse be-
fore he saw that the act had been de-
tected. The expression Of pain and de-
spair in Beyerly's face sent cold chill
over him from head to foot.
She turned sick with apprehension
Her faith had received a stunning blow.
Mutely she watched the vagabonds
withdraw in peace, free to go where
they pleased. The excursionists turn
ed to the main road. Baldos fell back

Wagon and Horses Knocked

George James, of MayfleId Road, Has
Narrow Escape From Serious
Injury.
WANT OUTLET TO BROADWAY.

George James. 22 years old, a
farmer of the Mayfeld road, yester-
day morning drove on Tennessee
street crossing of the Illinois Cen
tral and colided with a string of
box cars being pushed by an engine
half a mile away. His horse and
wagon were knocked back several
yards. and James was hurled from
his seat to the street Fortunately
he escaped serious injury and aside
from "a few bruises to his horse and a
broken shaft to his wagon, his outfit
escaped damage.
James did not observe the danger.
The gates we're raised and he heard
no warning bell. the engine being
several blocks away. The double
tracks on the lead are always filed
with box cars and he failed to notice
that any were moving. He was as
sisted Immediately by the crew of the
switch engine when the accident was
discovered. and was able to proceed
home a short time later.
Last night an informal meeting of
residents of the Mayfeld road was
held to consider some immediate ac-
tion, and one declared. 1--WE win at
once petition the council for relief.
There are two courses to pursue: |
either the viaduct Or the opening of
Row. The latter can be
accomplished cheaper. because moth
ng more than grading and grave.ing
he street is necessary. This Will
give an outlet from the Mayfield road
70 Broadway, and we will not be
'orced to drive over the two danger
