BORAx, NATURES DIsINFECT.
ANT, CLEANSER AND PURIFIER.

Everybody realizes the necessity OF
some method Of purification of sinks,
drains and utensils in which may lurk
the germ of a dreaded disease.
Health is q question Of cleanliness
and prevention.
Most people are familiar with the
use of disinfectants in their ordinary
sense--atl Of which are unpleasantly
associated with disagreeable odors,
on which are depended to kill tho
contagion (which disinfectants must
OF necessity be of more or less dan
gerous character) and must be used
for this purpose and for no other, and
in consequence kept from children
and careless handling.
There is, however, within the reach
Of all our readers a simple, safe and
economical article that will not only
answer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for a multi
tude Of domestic cleansing and puri-
flying purposes-Borax.
Borax is a pure, white harmless
powder coming direct from Natures
laboratory; in fact Borax has often
been called Natures Cleanser and
Disinfectant.
Two tablespoonfuls OF Borax in a
pailful OF hot water poured down the
grease-choked pipes of sink, or
flushed through disease-laden drain,
cleanses and purifies it, leaving It
clean and sweet.
Bed clothing and clothes used in a
sick room can be made hygienically
clean and snowy-white, IL washed In
hot solution OF Borax water.
Kitchen and eating utensils, used
during illness will be kept from all
possibility of contagion IL Borax is
used when washing them. Pure es
snow and harmless as salt, and be-
cause 1t can be used for almost every
domestic and medica. purpose, Borax
must be considered the one great
household necessity.

Was Bound To Win.

Edward Mcintyre, Minnesota
young man, has set an example OF
combined patience, endurance, and
foxiness that it would be hard to
match. An abandoned homestead
near Estevan, Saskatchewan, was
thrown open to entry, and animated
was the scramble therefor. Mcintyre
took pains to be the last inquirer at
the land Office on the day previous
to that set for the filing. Then he
stationed himself on a chair in the
corridor, with his hand on the knob
of the land office door. And there
he stayed till the Office opened in the
morning, a vigil of seventeen hours.
Many others had gathered from all
directions to get a chance at the
homestead, but Mcintyre was the
winner. Whenever Western Cana
dams want to be shown a trick OF
two, let them apply to Gopher genius

German Good Sense.

This country could hardly be ex-
pected TO Germanize its legal pro-
cedure, or, for that matter, make 1t
conform to that of any other coun-
try. But 1t could embodyewith bene-
fetal results the principles of the
German system in dealing with petty
disputes. IL is perfectly proper that
cases involving large amounts or i'm
portant questions should be gone in
to with care and due expense. But

cans pay for justice in small things
is proverbial. The Germans deal
with these things in an eminently
sensible way

Civilization.

Boulevard Haussmann the other day
when one of the best known women
In Paris got out of an elegant motor
car leading by a silver chain tiny
poodle dressed in the height of fash
ion. The dog was wearing a pigskin
collar adorned with gold coins and n
little fur coat with a side pocket,
from which peeped small lace hand
kerchief, while its little feet were
protected from the damp by india
rubber shoes. In the poodle's ears
were two pairs of diamond earrings,
one pair in each ear, the ears being
pierced at the base and at the tip.

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Renorts.

X. G. Dun & Co. Weekly Review
OF Trade says:
Sales OF pig iron have been made
at lower figures than at any time
since the decline began, although
regular quotations are nominally un-
changed. Furnaces that have begun
to accumulate stocks. however. make
concessions rather than reject offers.
Some finishing mills have also sought
raw material more freely and the net
result is better tonnage of pig iron,
although 1t is estimated that little
more than so per cent. of the steel
making capacity is now In operation.

In point OF activity, but the railways
do not place much business, although
small orders for rails are noted and
many contracts for equipment are un-
der consideration. Sharp competition
for business in light rails has pro-
duced lower prices in that line, but
as a rule the level of quotations for
finished steel products remain unal-
tered.
Fall buying is still light in the
mems wear division of the wooden
goods market, although inquiries are
more numerous and the net result
Is favorable.
The increased interest of jobbers
in the foowear market that was no
ted last week has not been main
tanned, manufacturers reporting less
demand, and 1t is believed that press
ing needs were satisfied. More ac-
trity occurred In the Boston leather
market, chiefly In union sole, but
lower prices were named on light
weight stocks, which constituted
most of the $4,000 to $4,000 sides
purchased. Exports have increased,
shipments from this city for the last
week running three or four times
greater than has been the rule of
late. Hides maintain the recent i'm
provement, in activity and prices.

MAcHINE.eRouND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the ~hand-

for which Il Is to be used. II Is as

which q good painter turns out is
made of genuine white lead and pure
