WET DRUMMERS
AGAIN APPEAR
Trade Was Light During the
Campaign Owing to the
Uncertainty

'Drummers' representing wholesale
hrms Of nearly every description, espe-
cially those representing liquor and
cigar houses, are invading the city I'm
large numbers and from indications are
doing considerable business. ..-t
During the prohibition campaign and
prior to the election, there were few
orders given for goods as there was a
feeling of uncertainty as TO the result
that had the tendency 70 cause local
men to refrain from purchasing i'm
larger quantities than were necessary
70 enable them 20 conduct their bust
ness from week To week
In many instances saloon men bought
IN small quantities and ordered no more
stock than was necessary to carry
them almost from day 20 day Dealers
IN out-of-town made cigars were also
close in their buying and as q conse-
.quence more than one representative
.ot wholesale houses practically cut Will

Reecher Scored Point.

Justin Mccarthy tells a story OF tho
late Henry Ward Beecher. Mr..
Beecher entered Plymouth church one
Sunday and found several letters
awaiting him. lie opened one and
found it contained the single word
Fool" Quietly and with becoming
gregation the fact in these words: II
have known many an instance of a
man writing letter and forgetting to
sign his name, but this is the only
instance ] have ever known Of man
signing his name and forgetting to
write the letter."

Restful Room.

Tones of brown and soft yellow
with a little white and good deal of
green are very restful for a room in
which much time is spent, such as a
diningroom or a study. A pretty lit
tie workroom fitted up for a girl who
writes and is singularly sensitive to
her surroundings has walls of soft
green. The brown polished floor has
two dim-colored Persian rugs The
couch pillows are of green and white
and yellow and wood browns. The
desk and bookcases are of mahogany,
the woodwork of the room is white,
and the hangings of the wide window
and the coverings of the chairs and
couch are of linen taffeta with a
ground of tan on which are woody
brown leaves and pale yellow flowers
with fresh green stems. The effect is
very bright and yet not too light for a
winter room.

SAID TO BE SIMPLE
EASILY MIXED RECIPE FOR KID.
NEYs AND BLADDER.
Telia Readers How TO Prepare This
Homemade Mixture to Cure the
Kidneys and Bladder and
rheumatism.

Get from any prescription pharma-
cist the following;
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce:
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake we'll in a bottle and take a
teaspoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered by an emf
nent authority, who writes in a New
York daily paper, as the finest pre-
scription ever written to relieve Back
ache, Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder
and all forms of Urinary difficulties.
This mixture acts promptly on the
eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, en-
abling them to filter and strain the
uric acid and other waste matter from
the blood which causes Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
Affections may not feel inclined to
place much confidence in this simple
mixture, yet those who have tried it
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without the
slightest injury to the stomach or 9TH
er organs.
Mix some and give it a trial 1t
certainly comes highly recommended.
1t is the prescription of an eminent
authority, whose entire reputation, it
is said, was established by IL.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1907-11-21

The whole essence of successful
appearance revolves around this spe.
cial, though frequently neglected, lit.
tie item," remarks a fashionable au.
thority.
The very cheap corset is an abom.
ination. be the figure what It may. A
too slender form asks the assistance
Of a well-cut model to impart the nee.
essary rounded curves, while one
blessed with too liberal an allowance
Of adipose tissue seeks the service Of
a shape so maneuvered as TO lend
slimness and suppleness to an other
wise shapeless waist
Now, a good corset is quite capable
of circumventng any ordinary de-
feet Of figure modern knowledge,
moreover insisting that health and
hygiene shall be also taken into strict
account. There is no reason what
ever for corset to cause undue pres.
sure anywhere but the nowdecreed
outline demands a certain shapeliness
of form while still maintaining the ap.
proved straight front.

WHEN BABY is CHRlSTENED
Rules Generally Observed at This I'M
portant Ceremony.

The christening ceremony should
take place at the church unless there
is a very good reason for doing other
wise. Relatives, sponsors and friends
are invited to be present either YER
bally or the mother sends informal
little notes telling of the event, giving
the hour, etc. After the service a
luncheon, or supper may be served,
to which the clergyman, sponsors and
relatives are invited. If nothing elab-
crate is desired it is perfectly proper
to have refreshments suitable for Nan
afternoon tea, with the time-honored
caudle, which is a dring always Of
fered in olden days on the occasion of
christening.
This is the rule for making; it is
best to prepare most Of 1t the day be-
fore using: Stir two cups of oatmeal
into three quarts of boiling salted
water; put in three sliced lemons, a
large cup Of seeded raisins, a grated
nutmeg and a stick of cinnamon. Cook
in a double boiled for two hours,
strain through a colander and leave to
cool. Before serving heat to the boil
ing point, add pint OF best brandy,
pint of mulled sherry, half a tumber
of rum and one quart of scalded milk.
Place in a punch bowl; serve in bouil-
Ion cups with a silver ladle, placing
a spoonful of whipped cream on the
top with a bit of grated lemon rind.
1t is customary to ask young matron
to serve the Caudle
All the decorations should be white,
flowers, candle shades. cakes, etc The
bonbons must be white sugared al
monds, they are invariably used at
French christening parties. Great
care should be taken in selecting the
god-parents It is customary to give
boy two god-fathers and one god
mother; a girl has one god-mother and
one godfather II people have means
it Is proper to bestow gifts upon the
baby, who is supposed to be about
two months old'at this time.
After returning from the church the
child is not in evidence, but is kept
quiet in the nursery following all the
unusual excitement In some families
the same christening robe is handed
down from generation TO generation.
This is a very pretty custom and one
to be commended. Reception gowns
of the simplest character are worn,
for this is first of all. a religious cere-
mony and should not be turned into a
large society function.
