cIeaninq Gold Braid.

This is season of gold braid and brass buttons. They are expensive to buy and many women might want to use gold braid they have if it were only a trifle cleaner.
 They may not know that it may be thoroughly refreshed by powdered blu ing mixed with dry bread crumbs This should be sifted over the braid and then rubbed with flannel. After brushing off the crumbs it should be polished with red velvet. This pro- cess also serves for cleaning gold lace
 Blue Dinner Table.
 Blue Is a shade seldom chosen for table decoration. as it is not easy to carry out this color scheme satisfac- torily in either lights or flowers. A model dinner table shows an ingeni- ous arrangement of blue decoration.
 The china was an old-fashioned blue pattern the glassware being the ar tistic colonial sort which is borrowed from Martha Washington days.
 Tall vases of deep blue ''bachelor buttons" stood at each corner of the board and in the center was tall epergne of the blue and white china heaped with luscious dark blue plums, The overhead light was softened by a pale yellow silk shade.

have been on the editorial staff of

years of its existence, and until it was

Mr.. Jameson was succeeded in the
BROAD Axe" by a tramp printer
named Irving, a young man with
some ability and a fair education, but
The social custom mentioned had laid
its whitening hand upon him early in
the race. and failure was written
against the enterprise from tae
start. However, he ran the papcr at
intervals for d year or two, and then
threw il up and left the country. The
next to take hold of the Axe was
a farmer named l.. B. Prouty, who
lived Il on the Muddy near John r.
DoWty's present farm. Mr.. Prouty
had learned the printers trade when
a boy. ana was well equipped for
the business of a country editor.
Anyway. he took up the job ome
time in the latter part of 1861, and
held it down till 1860, or Whereabouts,
and was succeeded by Norman
Pierce, from somewhere in Kansas,
who was a better printer and a better
editor than any of his predecessors.
About that time Arago was assuming
great importance as a growing town,
and its leading citizens induced
Pierce to move the Axe" office

metropolis on the river. He did SO.

several months, hut with little profit

beer tco well. and as there was an
unlimited quantity constantly on tap
and withia reach, and as much of his

that kind of currency. the editor did
what he could towards getting away
with at least what ne considered his
share. and it finally got away with
the newspaper business itself. and the
Office was brought back to Falls City.
The press and material belonged
to Jameson and Burbank, but they

Stop Dyspepsia.
The one and only way you can do this, is
with Kodol, and Kodol does it promptly.

The feeling OF languor the dull headache, the

indigestion or other stomach trouble, of which

Kodol quickly relieves all these symptoms, and
Dy giving the stomach entire rest, speedily cures
The disease itself.
Irregular hours, mild dissipation excessive use
OF tobacco haSty eating or overindulgence in
favorite dish, frequently produce as unpleasant,
though not lasting results, as the most serious of
chronic cases.
If these temporary sufferers realized that Kodol
For Dyspepsia offered sure and almost immediate
relief, how many would neglect to keep it

You can go about your business and disregard a

tire system If it fails to perform its task, these
supplies are cut off-and we cannot live without
food,
We know all this but haven't we fallen into the
of assuming that, once swallowed, food has
accomplished the purpose for which it was eaten?
1t hasn't, by any means. Until it is properly
digested, the system cannot assimilate it..
1t remains in the stomach until it decomposes,
and might far better, not have been eaten at all.
Kodol digests this food without aid from the
stomach, and digests it as well as the stomach
itself could do the work.
Through its aid, the food you have eaten is
reduced to FORM in which the system can aSsim-

This is the Plan Of Enumeration
Which the Republic Of
Mexico Proposes.

CITY OF MEXICO, March 9.-Prep-
arations are being made for taking the
national census of the republic of Mex
leo next year, and according to plans,
it is proposed to secure all the data
in one day which has been fixed for
October "a, 1910, but the officials who
i'll secure the figures will be given
over year in which to get acquainted
with the localities and individuals in
their territory, SO that when the time
comes there will be no mistakes or
delays.
The last census taken in 1900
showed population of 1902, 259,
of whom 1888 were foreigners.
The first census to be taken in
Mexico was in colonial times when
in 1773 Mexico was governed by the
Count Of Revillagigedo, as yiceroy Of
New Spain. The figures at that
time were approximately 100000.
