Our City Politics.

The great fault or the greatest
mistake our local politicians
make and have made in the past
is this: They fail to recognize
the people who stood by them
and before they are aware, their
time is up and they want aid
from these same people. These
are the people you can give some
thing for valiant service render.
ed. Dr. Ware is a man whom we
recommend as deserving some
thing and one or two others,
which it will be to the republicans
benefit to look after.
There is no use to leave all
these promises unfulfilled and ex-
pect the people to re elect you,
they will not do it. Now is the
time for j. Emil Smith, Roy
Reece, Jno. Graham, Roy Seeley
Or any other man to demonstrate
their fitness. Seeley has done SO
and was elected easier the last
time than he was the first time.

WHEN BABY is cHRIsTENED.
Rules Generally Observed at This I'm.
portant Ceremony.

The christening ceremony should
take place at the church unless there
IS 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,
10 Wnlch the clergyman, sponsors and
relatives are invited If nothing elab-
crate is desired it is perfectly proper
to have refreshments suitable for an
afternoon tea, with the time-honored
caudle, which is a dring always Of
fered in olden days on the occasion of
a christening.
This is the rule for making; it is
best to prepare most of it the day be-
fore using: Stir two cups of oatmeal
into three quarts of boiling sailed
water; put in three sliced lemons, a
large cup of seeded raisins, grated
nutmeg and a stick of cinnamon. Cook
In a double boiled for two hours,
strain through colander and leave to
cool. Before serving heat to the boil
Ing point, add a pint of best brandy
a pint Of mulled sherry, half tumbler
OF rum and one quart of scalded milk
Place in punch bowl; serve in bouil-
Ion cups with a silver ladle, placing
spoonful of whipped cream on the
top with bit of grated lemon rind
1t is customary to ask young matron
to serve the caudie.
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 gcd-fathers and one god
mother; girl has one god-mother and
ore godfather. If 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 very pretty custom and one
| to be commended Reception gowns
OF the simplest character are worn,

mony and should not be turned into a

The Corset.

The whole essence of successful
appearance revolves around this spe-
cial, though frequently neglected, lit,
tie item," remarks 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 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 Unanswered as to lend
slimness and suppleness to an other
wise shapeless waist.
Now, good corset is quite capable
Of circumventing any ordinary de-
feet of a figure modern knowledge,
moreover, insisting that health and
hygiene shall be also taken into strict
account. There is no reason what
ever for a corset to cause undue pres
sure anywhere, but the now-decreed
outline demands a certain shapeliness
of form while still maintaining the ap-
proved straight front.

RestfuI Room.

Tones of brown and soft yellow
with little white and good deal of
green are very restful for a room in
which much time is spent, such as a
dining-room or 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.

COINED A BIG WORD.
Little One Wanted to Pick the "un.
derchildrenable" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want to pick the
garden flowers, the. grandparents tried
every guiieful means to save their pet
posies from devastation. A truce was
reached when it was agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "children's flowers"
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions, buttercups,
daisies and clovers. After this there
was peace in the family. One day
Katherine, the newest granddaughter,
was contentedly pulling grasses while
grandmother shipped OF blossoms
from the forget-me-nots. Katherine
remembered that fresh flowers had
not been gathered for the dinner Ia
BILE. She ran over to grandmother and
promptly coined one of the longest
words a four-year-old ever used.

pick the underchildrenable flowers

Tells 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 well in a bottle and take
teaspoonful dose after each meal and

and all forms of Urinary difficulties.
This mixture acts promptly on the
eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, en-
aiding 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. It

authority, whose entire reputation, it
is said, was established by it.
