The secret OF success in caring 70.
goldfish is to keep the water they are
In fresh and sweet. Their globe should
be emptied and its water renewed az
often as every second day. Lift each
fish out gently In a glass full OF water,
empty the globe. wash 1t out, then put
In fresh water and put the fish back
again. Clear, sweet rainwater should
be used, and It's temperature should be
raised to 70 or 80 degrees by warming
part OF 1t. Sparkling well water Is
too cold for the fish to thrive in and
too pure. for the animalculae OF rain
water form an important part OF the
food Of these fish. They need no other
sustenance than a very few bread
crumbs sprinkled In their water daily,
for overlooking will kill them very
quickly

How to Clean Satin Slippers,

If you wore satin slippers last win

season that they are soiled. 1t Is well
to clean them at once. If the satin is

with It. This takes Off all small dis

the same work. although some women
do not like 1t because 1t crumbles off

After holding several meetings and dis

roads west and north OF the town are
marred by stretches OF sand that have

The Commercial club at its own ex-

from the hills. 1t makes a solid bed
a foot to eighteen inches thick and
hardens into a smooth roadway. BY
this means the roads approaching town

A MAYORS NOVEL IDEA.
sehens TO Promote the Building o
Cement Sidewalks

Sehens 10 Promote the Building OF
Cement Sidewalks.
Mayor Enllaghan OF San Antonio.
Tex. has a novel idea for promoting
the sidewalk building campaign IN San
Antonio. IL means no more or less
than the creation OF a friendly rivalry
among the wives OF property holders
OF the city TO the end that they may
be Induced to prevail upon their lords
and masters to improve the family
homestead with brand new cement
sidewalk.
As means of bringing about this
aforementioned rivalry the mayor
proposed to create a sidewalk building
honor roll and not only have the M mes
OF the progressive ones made matter
OF record each month, but TO have the
list published, so that all may single
out the city's world compellers from
their less enterprising neighbors. He
believes that this method OF bringing
conditions to the attention of the
housewives Of the city will cause them
TO become interested and that through
their efforts a material stimulus will
be given the movement
For instance, the mayor holds that
when Mrs. Blank Whose husband has
been negligent to his civic duty I'm

that the Bankers just around the cor
ner have improved their residence with
