Glass Shelves.

At very little cost one can have
neat glass bathroom shelf made
with nickel or porcelain brackets to
hold the collection Of bottles, brush
es and salve pots that the modern
woman includes among her toilet
requisites. These shelves are sold in
an assortment of sizes and are made
of thick plain glass with rounded
corners. A few of the self labelled
drug and toilet bottles that are now
offered at prices ranging from thir-
ty-fve cents mp will be useful to
hold toilet water, tooth wash and
the other essential aids to cieanli-
ness and daintiness.

The Odor of Paint.

Every one knows that an onion
has a distinct and unpleasant odor,
whether cooked or raw But every
one does not know that this odor OF
an onion will draw to 1t every other
disagreeable odor and clear the at
mosphere in day.
The onion can then be thrown
away and with it goes the disagree
able smells that come about in a
house that has been closed for the
summer.
And this is also a good thing to
know: That 1t will absorb all the
odor from fresh paint and turpen-
tine.

an accomplished and interesting fact
The adjourned meeting OF the gen.

which was held last evening in the
Chamber Of Commerce rooms, closed
all preliminaries, last night, and the
members are rejoicing in the success
of the venture which shall add dis

DR.. Frank Vaughan presided and
there we're about score Of interested
people there, all of whom either own
their own boats or are intending pur-
chasers, Q, at least, have very definite
concern in the establishment Of the
club.
The committee charged with the
compiling Of a constitution and by
laws, reported fully and promptly and
the work was accepted unanimously
and finally; but the matter of the Sc
lection Of club-berth for its boats
was carried over to a future session
for determination.
The name was selected aud adopted
without discussion, and in all the
work of the evening there seemed to
be a ready and cordial concurrence
in all propositions that tended to the
organization Of the club

When adjournment was taken last

Miserable indeed is the man OF
woman whose digestive system is un-
strung-who goes to the table and
can not eat or what little is eaten

get from your Pharmacist a s0-cent

without the use Of Laxatives and what
is more, it increases the gastric juices.

Every Mans Library.

The interest in the hve-foot book
shelf suggested by DIR. Eliot, former
president of Harvard University, has
created an unusual demand for the
books he has already named as among
those that should be included in his
very liberal list, the reading of which
for fifteen minutes day he claims
would give a man liberal education.
f p Dutton & Company have a
special edition of important books
written by the worlds best authors
called Everyman's Library. They have
recently announced, as matter of
public interest, that not less than six
teen of the twenty-five books already
named by DR. Eliot are to be found
in their Everyman's Library series.
To the man who wants a liberal edu-
cation and cannot afford to pay the
usual high prices, Everyman's Library
should make a quick appeal, as the
binding is of good quality and the
price extremely liberal
Everyman's Library volumes are
