STAMFORD

People are pleased with the selec- tion made by Judge Peck of gentlemen who are to act in an advisory capac- ity with the assessors in making re- valuation and reassessment of prop erty at it's true market value. Frank B. Conine comes out at the head of the list and is therefore chairman. He has long advocated a true valuation, and being a large property holder, as well as informed on the value of real estate, he will now have a chance to see that all property for the grand list of 1910 is placed there in accordance with the law. William A. Stagg is a well known contractor and builder, as well as a prominent citizen, and his services will be valuable. Charles B.. Curtis is the Democrat of the commit tee, an old and respected citizen, well informed regarding the value of real estate. It looks now as if the taxes would be capitalized and the town treas ury relieved of it's anemic condition.

PlNcH-sUes AND PEARLS.

Long, long ago there lived a
naughty little boy who said swear
words. His mamma tried to teach
him to be good, but he would not
mind her. At last she asked the
fairies to help her.
The fairy queen told the naughty
boy that il he ever said wicked
words again the fairies would pun
ish him severely. But If he remem-
bered to speak gently they would
reward him.
For time he remembered to be
polite to the fairy queen and his
parents, and as he said each nice
word pretty pearl dropped out of
his mouth
But pretty soon a he forgot to be
nice, and said swear word before
he knew it: when out of his mouth
jumped pinch-bug that jumped up
and pinched his tongue hard.
After that he soon learned to
mind and say just the nice words.
In fact he was so good that all the
fairies learned to love him, and
they never had to punish him again
by having pinch-bugs jump up and
pinch his tongue.

by a spasmodic contraction of the

down the throat. This or little

Dear Miss Grey-How can I re-
move white spots on a polished
table, caused by hot dishes? J. e.
Dampen a cloth In alcohol and
rub the spot rapidly until spot dis
appears. Wash Immediately with
clear water, then polish with clear
water, then polish with oiled cloth.
Unless you are rapid in your work
the alcohol will affect the polish.
Dear Miss Grey--How shall re-
move rust from a lavender cham
bray dress without fading the

Dear Miss Grey-My hair is cut
short. What can do to bring 1t
in curly. ACTRESS
Nothing will make your hair
curly If it is not so naturally.
Heavy healthy hair is more to be
desired than curly hair, and 1t is in
your power to bring that condition
about, as the scalp is much more
easily treated when the hair Is
short. Massage 1t every night
thoroughly loosening the scalp with
the finger tips. Occasionally dip
the fingers in cold water. Brush
the hair frequently.
Dear Miss Grey-How can
darken a faded hair switch? Shall
I, in returning calls for the first
time, leave my card. MRS. G.
Use sage tea to darken your

must be gagged by the color OF
