Maxine Good,

Last week Bings went up into South
Dakota to address a convention OF
editors. Just before leaving the house
his wife remarked:
"Oh, forgot to put a clothes-brush
in your grip. Here, take my whisk.
broom. 1t will do very nicely and
there isn't time to go upstairs after
your 'brush-but don't you lose that,
for it's my best one!"
Lose nothing!" responded Bings,
looking admiringly at the silver.
handled affair and struggling to get
into his .overcoat.
When Bings arrived in Watertown
he unpacked his grip-and the broom
was gone!
"Confound that thief Of a porter
he soliloquized. Then he looked
through his baggage again, peered
into the pockets of his full-dress vest
and gave it up.
It's too bad she gave me that"
unused Bings. ''Now she'll laugh at
me and tell me 1 always lose every.
thing. The best can do is to buy
another fully as good"
Next morning he left the hotel and
after visiting several stores found a
neat little broom that looked fully as
attractive as the one he had lost
Then he bought his wife a souvenir
spoon and felt better.
When he reached home a week
later, he said:
You know that broom you let me
take, dear?"
YES" beginning to laugh.
well, the porter lifted it on me be-
fore got to my destination"
More laughter.
"oh, you awful fellow, to lay that
onto the poor colored man. Here is
my broom. You busted your hat with
it just before leaving and laid It on
the hall tree, going away without it."
Never mind" responded Bings,
sheepishly but joining in the laugh.
You have two good ones now, and.
anyhow, the porter may take one OF
them on my next trip"

CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
Clean Walls Are an Essential to
Sanitary Cooking.

It is not only important to know
how to cook, but it is equally impor-
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing in a dirty kitchen can never pro-
duce good food. The idea is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for months-sometimes for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have light tint that the mer-
est fieck of dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. 1t is all folly expecting
clean food in a kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put a wall coating on a
kitchen wall that is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in it, or sour
milk in it if mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly 1ecking off, fall
ing into the food and the idea Of food
favored with glue made from horses
hoofs is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
! house. They should be coated regu
larly in the spring and fall of each
year with light tint.
The care of the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
| be brushed over every year, the
| dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water. If there are an
holes or any other insects in the pan
tries a thick putty of the wall coat
ing can be made and all the ant holes
even small mice holes can be fillet
with it which will protect the pantr.
/ from the incursions Of disagreeabl
insects and mice.

DR.. SIMMONS AND
THE SOUTHWEST.

DR.. c. f. Simmons, whose advertise
ment appears in another column OF
this paper, has probably helped more
people to acquire homes Of their own
in the most delightful and fertile sec
ton of the country, where life is really
pleasure, than any other man now
living. DR.. Simmons is a Southerner
by birth, a broad-minded, kindly gen.
tleman, who is never happier than
when helping others to help them
selves. He would not misstate any
thing for all the wealth of the Rookie
fellers, and any of our readers inter
ested in land in the sunny Southwest
can enter into negotiations with him
with the fullest assurance of a square
deal at any and all times.

Sheer white goods, In fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attraCtiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to Starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance Of your work.

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity Of
Starch necessary, with the result Of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

Westminster and Carroll Outing Clu]
Tomorrow Afternoon.

The rooters will have one more op-

game. Tomorrow afternoon Westmin-

of Baltimore, two games, the first be-
ginning at o'clock, and the second
Immediately upon the conclusion of
the first. The Carroll team has been
playing good ball this summer, and
ought to put up good fight against
the Westminster boys, but the lat
ter, so far, have not lost game and
will battle hard to keep this record
from being broken. Jenkins will pitch
the first game, and Spencer will try
his hand in the second. Barnhart
will catch both games. The admis-
sion will be 20 cents to both contests.
Everybody turn out. 1t will be a cold
day-several of them, in fact-before
you have another chance at baseball.
