To Make Water Soft for Bathing

To Make Water Soft for Bathing.
If one has an irritable skin and the
water for bathing is hard, something
should be used to soften it. Bran
makes hard water very soft and is
good for the skin. A couple of
quarts of bran put into bag of
cheese-cloth will be sufficient for an
ordinary bath tub full of water, and
it's use will make the skin velvety
and fine. Oatmeal, barley, rice and
other farinaceous substances are Of
ten recommended for the same pur-
pose, either alone or in combination,
but bran is the cheapest nd best of
them all. Tincture of benzoin added
to the water makes 1t soft and agree.
able. A few drops of ammonia. not
90 much, will soften water used for
the hands or the face. A very tonic
bath, and one also good for the skin,
is the salt bath. Formerly combi-

ployed, but now the sea salt which

The Slopes Logical Candidate

Underwood Miner: In the candidacy
of Col. G. B.. Little for the United
States senate each and every dweller
in the new west should feel personal
interest, in that it represents the
crystalization of that sentiment which
demands representation at Washing
ton for the gigantic commercial and
social development of country which
but a few short years ago was given
over to the trapper and hunter or to
the nomadic wanderings of few iso-
lated herds of half wild cattle.
Now that this sentiment has found
concrete expression in the candidacy
above noted it speaks volumes for the
suitability of Colonel Little that no
faintest suggestion of any other name
has been made since his aspirations
have been made known. For quar-
ter of a century has Colonel Little
been a citizen of the Slope and
through all the vicissitudes of CONNER
cial doubt and panic, in storm and
stress, in fair weather and foul, has
he always been in the front of the
fight, ready to the extent of his means
to assist in the upbuilding of the new
empire and with his counsel and en-
couragement to instill courage into
the wavering, and vim and backbone
into the weak and respondent. Tt
whom then should we look as oul
leader in the hour of Accomplishment
than to such man, and it is eminent
ly fit that he should be the choice o
the people as their representative il
the senate of the United States.
Colonel Little seeks nomination a
the hands of the republican voters o
the state at the primary election t.
be held newt June and bases his CLAIM
for recognition on faithful and efficien
service rendered in the state senate
since statehood. The laws of ou

Literary Notes

sea water can be bought at any drug

be added to an ordinary bath-tub.
Pine-needle baths are refreshing nd
invigorating. A decoction can be OBJ
tanned already prepared and the di-
rections with it for the mount to
be used for varying sized baths. Be
fore using any of the different prepa-

should be taken first, with through

Joe cannon's Wonderful Work

islation, it was through the diplomatic
support of the speaker that his rec
concentrations were written into the
law. When the president insisted on
joint state hood for Arizona and New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory, it was Speaker. Cannon who Sc.
cured the legislative action and stood
against the bitter assaults of those
western republicans who united with
the democrats in the demand for four
states instead of two. When the
president recommended a reduction
of the duties assessed against Philip
pine products, it was Speaker Can
non who secured the passage of the
bill through the house and it failed
in the senate. He also put in mo-
ton the extraordinary machinery Of
the house for the enactment of the
pure food law, the meat inspection
law, the employers liability law, and
the sixteen hour law for railway en-
ployes. and he called the two pension
committees of the house togethers
and suggested the report of the age
pension bill for the veterans of the
civil war, No two high government
officials have worked in better accord
than have President Roosevelt and
Speaker Cannon for the past four
years.

A MOMENTOUs QUESTION

"A MOMENTOUS QUESTION
i Whether tits worther in the mind to offer
Thy home a victim to the ravages of time,
Or take precaution against the elements,
And, by painting, it? To beautfy, to protect

With judgment, and halt the work Of decay

Devouty be wished. To save, to paint
To paint percance get bad paint; there's the rub

When mysterious dope, gaudily labeled, is used,
Must give pause. That's the outrageous stuff
That makes calamity befan careless

Without white lead linseed oils protection;
And wastes precious time and money happens

When strong, pure and lasting lead and oil paint
Stands at his beck and call, good unequaIed?
Mayhap it's lust for greed or trivial prejudice
For hoary paint, or Imagination playing false
That puzzles the will, and makes him rather stick,
In lazy fashion, the soddy paints he's had years,
Than to wake and seek the good in things.

A singular revival is taking place in
Paris for wearing the tooth Of wolf
