Plates and dishes put into an oven
or left on the range to warm, often
crack. They should be dipped into
hot water instead for use on the
dinner table.
If the skin becomes dry and hot
from the combined effects Of sea
water and the sun, wash the face
with buttermilk two or three times
a day. It has wonderful soothing
properties.
The brown streak around the neck
caused by wearing high collars, may
be removed by using frequently the
juice of cucumbers about the neck
before retiring.
A pretty garnish for cold meat is
made by cutting lettuce leaves very
fine with a pair of scissors. The
strips should be no wider than a
blade of grass, ard Will form a

Ivory knife handles which have

polished with clean piece of
chamois skin, until well polished.
White satin shoes may be easily
cleaned at home. Stuff out the shoe
in shabe and rub it gently with a
soft cloth dipped in methylated
spirit, repeating the application un-

Instead Of putting food into the
oven to keep it hot for late corners,
try covering it with tin and set

HOW TO AVOID CATCHING TUBERcUsosIs
Avoid associating with people
who are uncleanly in the matters of
and splitting. Avoid those
who spit much, even though they
do not cough. Do not spit around
promiscuously yourself. Spittle and
the matter spat up contains the
germs of any disease the splitter may |
have in the nose, mouth, throat and |
or lungs. To avoid an un-
clearly splitter is to avoid his dis
eases.
Live as much as possible out of |
doors. Select an out of doors work |
if possible. If you have to work in |
doors let the out of doors air in by |
having windows open. Always |

CHILES' VERSION.
Says Speaker DOIIey "Has Took
Charge of Kansas"

1t will be remembered that Nick
ChiIes, negro politician and editor or
the Topeka Plaindealer. was thrown
out of Speaker Dolley'S office in the
state house one day last week. Chiles
became obnoxious in his demands for
appointments and Dolley lost patience
and put an abrupt end to the interview.
In the issue of the Plaindealer imme-
diately following the incident Nick
gives his side of the story and incident
as follows:
Joe Dolly, the Wabaunsee speaker of
the house has took charge of Kansas
We do not know which is the leg1s-
lature, but from the looks of things the
members might as well go home. He
said he never heard of a colored man
being assistant sergeant-at-arms of the
legislature. We told him that was be-
fore he knew where the Capitol was
located. At this he flew into a rage and
to defend his Ignorance ordered US out
of his office. He thought an assistant
sergeant-at-arms q big thing for the
race and the first time for a colored
man to be thus honored. John L. Wal
Ter and several other colored men have
filed such position in the Kansas
legislature. These 'reformerS' are some
thing frightful and our prayers are TO
be delivered from such Pharisees- we
hope the people will open their eyes.
The money is put into the treasury to
be used; not to starve the people and
hollow economy. Dolly's brain storm
is due to our asking him to give a few
colored men positions"

THIS YEARS TAXES.
Total Amount About a Million More
Than Last Year.

State Auditor Nation has completed
a statement showing the total amount
Of taxes levied in the various counties
of the state for 1908 for all public
purposes and the total tax rate in
each county.
The tax rate this year for all pur-
poses in all the counties of the state
averaged S5c on the 500 as against
S4.67 on the 500 last year. The
great difference is due to the assess
ment this year of all property at its
true value, and the placing on the tax
rolls of vast amount of property
that heretofore has escaped taxation
The total taxes levied for all pur-
poses this year was $21.217,979 as
against $2O,4 ,497, sos in 1907. The tax
was divided as follows:
State taxes-1907. $2,745,797; 1908,
$2,215,S9S.
County taxes-1907, $5,2O5,611; /;
city taxesE1so7. s8.2s5.s12; 1908.
township taxes-1so7. s2.654.422;
School district tataxes-feO7, $685.
COS; 1908, $7,196,6oo.
State taxes were lower this year.
County, city and township taxes were
a trif1e higher, while school district
taxes were 100000 higher.
Public service corporations paid in
1907 the sum of $3,171,614 and in
1908 the sum of $2,999,3 ,37S. This
shows a decrease of $172,236 for this
year The Democrats in their cam
paign insisted that railroad taxes were
100000 lower this year. These fig
ures nail that a campaign falsehood.
Private car lines pay $500 in
taxes this year. This money goes di-
rect to the general fund of the state.
Republic county has the lowest tax
levy of any county in the state. Its
levy is Sc cents on the 500. Leaven-
worth is the highest, with $3.50 on
the $100.

DOLLEY'S CHARMED LIFE.
Stayed OFF From Ships, Trains and
Hotels That Were Doomed.

Speaker ]. n. Dolley seems to have
a charmed life. Many years ago he
contracted to take a job on a ship ply
ing between Boston andS South
America. He didn't get to the dock
until the gangplank had been pulled
up and the ship was in motion. The
ship went down the next day and all
on board were lost.
Three years ago he took train at
Maple Hill for Alta Vista. He de-
cided to get off at Alma and take the
next train on The train that he left
was wrecked and the man who took
the seat he had occupied, was killed
A year later he started from Topeka
to Maple Hill. He boarded the train.
1t was delayed at the depot so long
that he became disgusted. alighted
and went to a hotel and slept. That
train was wrecked a few miles out of
Topeka-at Willard-and every per-
son in the coach in which Dolley left
was killed.
Ever since the Boss Buster cam
paign Dolley has lived almost con-
tinuously in Topeka In all that time
he stayed at the Copeland. The only
night he ever spent in Topeka in
which he did not sleep in
the Copeland was the night that the
hotel burned. He and his wife spent
that night with some friends out in
the residence section.

HARRIMAN'S ADVICE.
To Young Men Contemplating Career
in RaiIrOading.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 1S.-Edward H
Hartman has written for the Yale News
his views on college training as prepara-
ton for railrcading. He said in part:
"A college education will be a great
help if the man in going through college
has kept the foundations of high school
learning firmly fixed. On the other hand
if he has neglected his hand writing and
forgotten his arithmetic in the higher
mathematics nothing could be worse for
him. This college education is, in the
beginning. real disadvantage and have
found that in every case the high school
boy does better work than the college
man for the first few years. However, as
soon a the college man has gotten back
to the first principles he will go ahead
much faster than his less educated rival
His mind is. naturally, better developed
and more capable of grasping the fine
points of the business. On the other hand
the high school boy being younger is
more adaptable and has not in most cases
the irregular habits of the college man.
NO matter how well educated a man
may be. he must start in railrOading at
the very bottom. 1t is the hardest life
I know of and yet one of the most pleas
ant. 1t cultivateS an insight. 1t teaches
knowledge of men and in this way is
the best training for any profession
Pull can never carry a man far in
raiIroading. 1t is hard work and applica-
tion that counts
MY advice to the college man ex-
pecting to enter railroading and hoping
to have easy life. fs-don't, but to the
man who does not mind the hardest kind
of work who will not quit under disap-
pointments and who wishes to have the
most interesting sort of a career is by
all means, do

EMPORIA DAILY QUITS.
The Morning Paper Could Not Make
1t Go.

Emporia, Kan, Jan. 1S.-The EN-
poria Daily Journal, morning paper,
has expired The Gazette says:
There is something sad in the an
uouncement of the Emporia Daily
Journal that it has printed its last
CODY Editor Mickey has done his
best Those who tempted him into
this venture, by telling him what mar
velous success he might achieve fight
ing the Gazette, deserve censure for
their treachery. They gave no sup
port to his venture. They saw MIN
spending his own good money and
whatever of opprobrium attaches to his
faiIure-not he; for his is no failure.
He was talked into a foolish venture
by men with axes to grind.
But what an old story this all is
in this profession. No American
town, north, south, east or west, is too
Iarge-or unfortunately too small-to
have this very tragedy enacted. Every
makes enemies. To tell the truth it
must make enemies. But it's enemies,
often. are the best thing about a news
paper. They are its assets. They are
its chief source OF strength IN town.
"But when they see a newspaper
man, about to enter a town, they flock
to him with stories, and tell him what
a snap it will be to do up the other
editor. They exaggerate the other
mans mistakes. They make the new
man believe that the town is just nat
uraIIy yearning for a bright, newsy,
crisp, spicy paper. These adjectives
are as old as the business. Always
they are the same. They are the
sticky fypaper upon which a new
editor always lights to his sorrow. And
then. when once he is down. the
adjectives pull him to his death.
s'If he is bright, his new found
friends criticise him. If he tries to be
newsy. they ask him to suppress items.
If he makes his paper crisp and differ
ent. they say he is too fresh, and if he
would make it spicy. they say he is
indecent. In the end, he prints his
valedictory.
