Care Should be Taken in Washing Silks
For white silk, cut down one ounce
Of white soap, and put IL I'm a bowl
with one cupful Of white honey. Stir
over hot water until the soap is
melted.
Spread the garment on a clean table,
rub the soled parts with the prepara-
tion. using a soft brush or sponge.
Rinse in several cold waters.
For light and colored silks and pom
gees, make a strong suds with hot wa
ter and fine white soap. Put this into
two large bowls.
When tepid put the fabric IN. Wash

II Is advisable while glace silk Is
drying 20 shake IL repeatedly and get
Il smooth by this process. so that II
may not require Ironing. as the appli-
cation of hot metal removes the ma
tural crispness from the silk and en-
tirey spoils its appearance
All soft silk, however. looks better
n ironed. but this should not be at
tempted until all the benzine has pass
ed off, as the heat OF the iron might
ignite the spirit and tho silk be de-
stroyed.
There are silks whose appearance IA
entirely spoiled by washing for the
reason they ought TO be dry cleaned" i"
The method is as follows:
Put into a basin a quantity Of ben
zine and add a little dry clean soap.
The quantity of benzine and soap used
depends upon the size and number Of
garments TO be cleaned: but ono gallon
OF the liquid is usually enough TO clean
three unlined waists and two ounces
Of soap should be quite sufficient 10 a
gallon.
The quantity Of soap depends entirely
on the degree of soilod matter In the
clothes.
Mix the SOAP with the benzine and

Real Tact is Absolutely Necessary TO
Women Who Would be Successful

Tact consists Of knowing How and I,
When.
The French call II savoir faire. and
It's all cf that. only more so. In fact,
tact Is much more so than any dehni-
ton can describe or even indicate.
People with tact can go everywhere
and do everything. Without IL the
woman who hopes 60 do anything in
the social line might as well go and
drown herself because the first re-
auisite In "a social leader Is tact.
Tact IS even useful I'm snubbing peo-
pie. IL needs to be done with sufficient

In fact. tact is useful in all walks Of
life. In cat IL lies in his whlslkers,
which tell him when not TO risk the
rest of himself. In a hoopsnake II
lies in his tail. He takes it In his
mouth and gracefully trudlcs himself
out of harms way.
A woman uses 1t beforehand and
saves herself many modification. A
man uses It as an army its rear guard,
to avoid surprises and avoid mis-
takes.
AS women moro naturally possess
tact than men. therefore a tactlcss wo-
man is doubly conspicuous. and the
Mrs. Malaprops are always in the
limelight

Are met in thee tonight
How silently. how silently

So God imparts to human hearts

Where meek souls will receive Him still

Christmas is the one time we should
all be happy. On this day we COM
memorate the greatest gift that was
ever given to man. The custom of
giving Christmas presents is simply
a symbol of the great gift that was
given man on that first Christmas
day.
In the book Ben-Hur is beautifully
told how the wise men came from the
different sections with wondrous gifts
for the Saviour. 1t tells how they
were led by the star until they reached
the stable in which the Child Christ
lay. And it tells how they wondered
how this Christ would affect tn,

Circuit Court.

Circuit Court.
The regular May term of the Jefferson
Circuit Court began in Charles Town or
Tuesday, with Judge E. Boyd Faulkner
on the bench.
The Charles Town Free Press says that
Judge Faulkner, in his charge to the grand
Jury, took occasion to explain some of the
provisions of the recently enacted laws
bearing upon criminal offenses. Consid-
cradle attention was given to the new pls-
tol law, the court explaining that the law
refers to weapons of every sort, and not
TO pistols alone. He said that nobody
can now carry a weapon lawfully without
first giving bond in a penalty OF $3.50
People other than officers OF the law must
do more than give bond. They must first
obtain license at a cost OF ten dollars
from the county clerk. The penalty for a
violation of the law is a sentence OF six
months to year in the county Jail for the
first offense. On second conviction OF
carrying concealed weapons unlawfully,
the penalty is term in the penitentiary.
The court appointed c. w. Henshaw
foreman of the grand jury, the following
free-holders comprising the jury: John F..
Myers, Geo. w. Shull, J. T. Nichols,
Frank Trussell, George Baumgardner, D..
z. Roger, lack T. Fleming, John P. Kiss
Ter, John L. Burns, B. R. Huyett, Chas.

The grand jury found indictments against
the following persons: Earl Morrison
Haley Roderick and Clarence Littleton,
robbery; Benjamin Wood, rape; Curtis
Parrot, colored, burglay w. L. Irwin,
for failure to take out automobile license.
The case of c. Horace Gallaher against

day OF the next term OF court.
The Winchester and Washington City
Electric Railway Company, through
its attorney, presented petition to have
certain lands OF Thos. H. Harder in this
county condemned for its use. Harder,
the owner of the land, opposed the con-
domination proceedings, with the claim
that a public service corporation chartered
for the purpose of supplying light and
power cannot lawfully condemn land for
such uses. The matter will come up for
argument later.

Communicated.

Editor Register-The city fathers of this
town have accomplished many improve
ments by compelling property owners to
make pavements, but the cutting away
of the grass borders of the retired streets
is not by any means an advantage, since
if only places mud or dust and dry patches
for the hot summer sun in place of the
cool, green lining of the roadway. The
idea OF making it look like city" is too
puerile TO reason about-the city fosters
every blade Of grass which can be saved
from the wheel, the hoof or footstep.
This destroying the very means of re-
freshing GOODNESS here is as idiotic a
blunder as cutting away the trees along a
country roadway. Germany. the land of
splendid roads, lines them with trees for
shade, protection of the road and for pro-
viding lumber. ltis strange that ignorance
and vandalism will persist in destroying
the beauty and means offresher, healthier
life which is provided by kindly Mother
Nature.

High Prices for Grain,

Frank R. McQuilkin and Messrs. George
and Harry Staley sold their wheat crops
few days ago to the q. T. Hodges firm
for $i.45 bushel. S. J. Hodges informs
us that this is the highest price their firm
has paid for wheat in the twenty-eight
years it has been in the grain business.
There is very little wheat in this section
now, the high prices of the past few
months having drawn practically all of it
from the granaries. During the past
week w. N. Lemen & Son have bought
1 900 bushels of corn from the Billmyer
farms, paying so cents bushel for it.
This is another record-breaking price.
The corn is also pretty well cleaned out
of the country. Today wheat is quoted
at 81 40 and corn at so cents.
