Wear Gloves When Dusting.

There are few good housewives who do not take an active part in the cleanliness of their home. They may be fortunate enough not to have to do the actual work but most of them like to dust the | liner ornaments and furniture.
 It Is very unwise to do this without wearing gloves Even in the best kept city houses there is a surface of soot that settles on everything over night. Even when using large dust cloths much of this dust and grime gets on the hands It settles in and around the finger nails and in the knuclSles and is hard to dis lodge.
 This could be remedied by loose pair of old gloves. Careful women usually prefer pair of old chamois skin ones which can be washed and used over and over.

It certainly seems the least suited of anything to the fair sex. and yet in Paraguay we are told that this is absolutely monopolized by women and that mo men need apply"
 The cause of all this Is the result of the heroic war waged over 30 years ago by Paraguay against the overwhelm- ing forces of Brazil, the Argentine re

It is rather ridiculous not to say pain full to see the woman with very short neck trying to appear comfortable in a collar boned well under the ears.

TO appear in the police court April II

obtaining money under false pretenses.
With Graham's S exposure came Is

the inner circles of the chilly, exclusive
English society and into the confidence
of a score of bar tenders who allowed
him to charge his drinks. For one
week he worked on Vancouver news

in borrowing $500 from a worldly wise
and cynical police reporter. When ar
rested in the northwest he made HIM

MIX FOR RHEUMATISM
Eminent Physician Gives Out His Most
Effective Formula.

The following is never failing rem
edy for rheumatism. and If followed up
il VIII effect a complete cure of the
very worst cases: Mix half pint of
good whiskey with one ounce of Toris
compound and add one ounce syrup of
Sarsaparilla compound. Take in table
spoonful doses before each meal and at
bed time" The ingredients can be pro-
cured at any drug store and easily
mixed at home.
Not only viii this formula promptly
relieve the muscular pains but il is also
one of the most effective system build
ers known TO the profession. II will
increase the appetite and If use is con-
tinued viii eventually restore full
physical vigor to all persons of failing
strength, especially the decline caused
by age.
The Toris compound in connection
with the other ingredients has such a
decided action in purifying the blood
that the good results can be felt after
the first few doses. but it would be a
serious mistake to discontinue until
health is fully recovered.

Thursday, direct from their far
Northern home. They all came from
one village. and in a great many
cases their sweethearts had preceded

forelock in making the announcement
that during the session of the legis-

gestion or request of any kind or
character was put before the Oregon
Lawmakers by the club.
Positive promises are made that
Eugene and Portland, the two cities
at the extremes of the Willamette
valley, are to be connected by troll
Icy just as soon as men and money
can do the work.

adjourned.
