Windows often need cleaning when 1t is so cold that if water were used 1t would at once freeze on them. Try using paraffln instead; rag dipped in it will clean the glass perfectly and give 1t a brightness impossible to obtain with water. Tissue paper makes good polisher, or, in fact, al- most any soft paper.

tor of all the saloons in his domain,
and the government encourages
drinking to increase the profits. The
profits last year amounted to more
than million dollars day, or three

couragement given the traffic, the
amount of drunkenness in the en-

which it causes is indescribable. A
laboring man gets from ten to fifteen

In the track of the plow and the

The orchards drop apples of gold at

And all nature proclaims that the
