Saloons Closed in Mississippi.
Ripley Sentinel.

Ripley Sentinel.
With the passing of 1908 into his
tory there passed into the limbo OF
the things that were the legalized
saloons of Mississippi, that most OF
all pernicious demons ever licensed
to pilfer, poison and kill in civilized
state. Glad Day for Mississippi.
Grand old State. She has led the
procession in many reforms and while
not a leader in this particular one
she was quick to follow her sisters
of the South. The saloon towns seem
to have accepted the new law very
gracefully and so far there has been
no effort at legal test. 1t will mark
new era in Mississippi and in those
towns where liquor has been sold
business will be better and the towns
more prosperous than ever before. A
saloon is a great draw back in bus
mess way to any town, community
or state. The money that has been
going over the bar for liquor, which
never did anybody any good, will
now go into the banks to the credit
of the young man who has been
spending it and from the day these
dens of iniquity closed their doors
the towns in which they were loca-
ted will take turn for the better.

How to Transfer Pictures to Wood.
The wood must first be made per-
fectly smooth and then vanished with
copal or mastic varnish. When get

touched with the fingers lay the print

dry, which will probably be next day,
remove the paper by wetting with cold
water and then gently peeling it off.
The paper will probably come off in

A Happy Woman,

Is she not the very sparkle and sun
shine of life?-A woman who is hap
py because she can't help it, whose
smiles even the coolest sprinkle of
misfortune cannot dampen. Men
make a terrible mistake when they
marry for beauty, for talents, or for
style. The sweetest wives are these
who possess the magic secret of be-
ing contented under any circumstan-
ces. Rich or poor, high or low, makes
no difference; the bright little foun-

How TO Extract a Splinter.

When a splinter has been driven
deep into the hand it can be extracted
without pain by steam, says the Wo-
mans Home Companion. Nearly fill a
wide mouthed bottle with hot water,
place the injured part over the mouth
of the bottle and press tightly. The
suction will draw the flesh down, and
in a minute or two the steam will ex-
tricate the splinter, and the infiamma-
ton will disappear.

How to Make a New Christmas Cake.

How to Make New Christmas Cake.
For holiday card party during the
Christmas season a pretty sort of
sand cake may be served appropri-
ately. Cream a heaping cup of butter,
add two and half cups of sugar, one
whole egg and the yolks of two more
beaten together, four cups Of -four and
a teaspOonful of cinnamon, says Har-
per's Bazar. Roll out very thin, using
a marble slab, if you have one, and
brush over with slightly beaten egg
white and sprinkle with mixed cinna-
mon and sugar. With tin cutters-to
be had at a department store-cut out
in hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades
and bake till light brown. These cakes
may be covered with chopped almonds
instead of cinnamon.

How to Wash a White silk Parasot.

A white silk parasol can be as easily
washed as any piece of white silk. 1t
is best to make a tepid suds with
white soap and borax, using the bath
tub for washing it in, as the water can
be changed often. In the rinsing water
use bluing, then rinse a second time.
1t Is best to gently scrub the silk with
a soft brush, which is easily done If
the parasol is raised. After it is thor
oughly rinsed hang opened in a room
to dry, but do not place it in the sun.
1t will be straight and free from wrin-

Reply-The sugaripg of syrup may
be prevented by grinding the cane
when comparatively unripe, or grind
ing about two joints more on each
cane than as usual. In other words
by grinding two or three joints that
are usually considered little too
green for syrup. The same result
can be obtained by artificial means
by adding to the hot syrup, just af-
ter it is taken up, about five drops
of concentrated sulphuric acid for
each gallon of syrup. This acid can
be obtained of any first class drug
gist, and in this quantity does not
injure the syrup; indeed can scarcely
be detecUed by the expert chemist.

If anything can prove the deep de
pravity of the human race, as we'll as
the inefficiency of police officers, it is
the fact that young girls are sys-
tematically sought after and pro
vided for evil purposes. In some in
stances they are kidnapped, in others
they are betrayed and eutrapped by
deceivers and bought and sold like
cattle, though not in the open. The
white slave traffic is recognized as
an actual fact. That it is carried on
without the knowledge of the guar
dams of the people. is hardly believ-
able. We would not say that all poz
licemen are cognizant of the fact and
could locate the trafficers, but GER
tainly some Of them know, and pay
no attention to the evil else protect
the evil doers in their nefaricus
work. 1t is doubtless true that
hundreds of girls OF legal age aban-
don themselves to lives of shame OF
their own accord, but hundreds more
are lured into the life while under
age, and might be saved from the
procurors, if all the policemen were
thoroughly honest and kept their
eyes open. These things are sad to
contemplate. How to remedy the
evil is one of the problems of our So
cial life.

If you wish your children to be re-
spectful to you, then you should be
respectful to them. The boys and
girls who are spoken to in a harsh,
rough tone of voice naturally fall in
to the habit of responding the same
way. Parental dignity and authori-
ty may be asserted with the utmost
firmness, and yet Without coarseness
or arrogance, In fact it cannot be
well asserted in any other way A
rude father or mother is likely to
have rude sons and daughters.

When Mans DiSsaprOVaI is Sure.
Sunday School Times.

1t is never a duty to try to win
every ones approval Such an at
tempt is not only impossible, but 1t
is wrong. And the man who makes
the attempt usually ends in winning
no ones approval To do right is
the only duty that need concern US.
That means the doing of God S will.
But we may know beforehand that
our doing of his will assures OF the
sharp criticism and delunciation OF
some who are sure that his will for
US is different frsm that which he has
revealed to us. This was the eXpe-
rience of Paul, and of Jesus; we need
not hope to do better than they.

There is sweet music in every home
where the heart strings are touched
by gentleness and courtesy. The
mild word, the gentle answer, the
tender act, the patient considerate-
ness, will touch chords of kindness
and make sweet melody in the family
as everywhere. A desolate, dreary
l.lace is home devoid of those little
courtesies which are practiced in the
best social life.

Nashville Christian Advocate.
Each recurring holiday season i'm
presses on US anew the conviction
that with all the recent temperance
agitation not enough has been done
to discredit and to outlaw the drink
ing habit itself. We are making
fierce onslaughts on the sale of liquor
and there is good reason to believe
that the saloon is doomed, But
what are we dong to direct public
sentiment against the man who de
liberately drinks? who drinks when
he feels heat, when he feels cold,
when he is sad, when he is merry,
drinks to please his friends, drinks to
honor" his countrys natalday,
even to celebrate" the birth OF
Christ-drinks on every pretext and
without pretext, knowing that 1t
will make druken fool and probably
a criminal of him. He needs more
attention than he is getting.
