In the past few years Mrs Cora B.
Miller has spent $125,O0O.0o in giving
medical treatment to afflicted women.
Sometime ago we announced in the
columns of this paper that she would
send free treatment to every woman
who suffered from female diseases or

More than million women have ac-
cepted this generous offer. and as Mrs.
Miller is still receiving requests from
thousands Of women from all parts Of
the world. who have not yet used the
remedy, she has decided to continue the
offer for awhile longer, at least.

failed.

Housekeeping. Notes.

To renOvate tan boots mix two cents
worth of ammonia with half a pint Of
milk, and bottle it. Shake well, and
apply with a sponge to the boots.
When the boots are dry, polish them
with soft duster.
Another polish for brown boots is
easily made. Finely shred two ounces
of beeswax. put in jar with one gill
of turpentine, and dissolve it by heat.
When cold apply this to the boots with
a flannel. Polish with clean flannel
or by rubbing with the palm of the
hand.
Polish cut glass by brushing 1t all
over with powdered chalk after you
have washed it. Use soft brush and
carefully 90 into all the crevices.
When making pillows rub the inside
of the ticking with a bar Of dampod
laundry soap, and the feathers will
never force themselves through the
fabric. Another method is to wax the
ticking. To do this get some beeswax
and hot fatiron, then rub the iron
on the wax and place it on the mate
rial, repeating this till the whole has
been gone over.
An india-rubber hot-water bottle is
easily cleaned. Wash it well with luke.
warm water and soap, rubbing on the
soap with piece of flannel.
Scrubbing brushes should never be
put away with their bristles upwards,
for thus the water would soak into the
wooden part and the bristles would
soon become loose.

May Get Ten Million

About $4,000, 900 may be secured
from the government by people OF the
south if a bill reported unanimously
by the house committee on war claims
becomes law. The bill gives to the
court of claims jurisdiction of the
claims for captured and abandoned
property which was sold during the
civil war and the proceeds turned into
the United States treasury. During
that war the government authorized
the seizure of abandoned property, to
be sold and the net proceeds placed IN
the United States treasury. There was
a provision that if any one should
bring suit within two years after the
close of the war. and prove that the
property sold belonged to him the
money received for it should be paid
over, but to do this the citizen bring.
ing the suit had to prove LOYALTY to
the union. This disqualified most
southerners until the amnesty procla.
nation was declared in 1865. which
came too late to take the claims to
court. the two years. grace having ex'
pired. The object Of this bill is to en-
able the original owners of the con-
tiscated property to get the money it
brought when sold.

We are accustomed to think OF
tuberculosis as Synonymous with
consumption" that is to say,
disease of the lungs; but there are

though the most common seats of the
disease are the lungs. the larynx and
the joints.
Bone and joint tuberculosis, especial

the young. more particularly in the
children of the very poor and those
who live In dark, damp and ill-ventil

These two forms are very apt to
merge into each other, as the part Of
the bone ordinarily involved is the end
which enters into the formation of the
joint. and the disease readily extends
from that to the joint structures.

the tuberculosis, but it affects the

in one otherwise predisposed to it by
weakness of constitution.
In the bone, tuberculosis is mani.
