Another desirable thing for the town IS
more shade trees. Plenty of shade and
ornamental trees add much to the beauty,
and comfort of village life. Take look
about your premises and see if you can't
plant few trees to advantage. Every
tree and vine and shrub that is planted is
adding to the attractiveneSs OF the home
and the community, and the cost is small,
Speaking of the trees, there is need Of
an extensive campaign of trimming, all
over town, and we hope that the people
will get at this work. Right now is the
time to do if.

NOW, Wfldt Can we 40 10 Improve oui
town? One of the most important things
is the continuation of the good work Of
making first class sidewalks. For the past
several years our town council has wisely
pushed this manner of Improvement, and
more progress was made in three years
than in fifty years previous. With def
niteness OF purpose, and sometimes with
seemingly hard hearts, the street COM
mittee went ahead inexorably, and now
the people walk comfortably upon brick
or concrete sidewalks that have taken the
place OF paths over which our forefathers
stumbled, generation after generation, for
hundred and seventy-five yearS-and
nobody has been really hurt by being re-
CURED to make the improvement. On
the contrary, the property has but been
increased in value.
There are still some waste places to be
built up, and we have no doubt that our
council will keep up rs good work; at
the same time, Observer recommends that
the street committee shall take stroll
about town and note the places in the
older pavements that need attention. Here
and there roots of trees have made bad
stumbling places; bricks have been kicked
loose and holes have been made; there
are many misfit places at the street cross
ings that ought to be Strengthened up. Let
us have this work done early in the sea-
son, and require that the rubbish be re-
moved as soon as the work is completed,
so as to make the town look tidy.

Of the many picturesque figures in Washington where they abound none is more commented upon than the baby son of the Countess Won Moltke, the wife of the Danish minister.

 The veil is made fast to the front of the VI Moltkes baby's cap and 1t is spread -efully over his face and tiny body when he is in perambulator.
 When in the privacy of his boudoir the veil is raised and lifted to one side

What Sort of Breakfast Wo-
 man Are You?

Has it ever occurred to you that your attitude at the breakfast table sums up your whole attitude for the day?
 If you are an untidy. slouchy. break fast woman," and then dress up for the latter part of the day because you hap pen to be going out or you think that callers are coming in, aren't you bit of a sham and a hypocrite?
 On the other hand, if you are well groomed, freshly and simply dressed smil- ing and cheery at breakfast, you sug- gest wholesomeness and sincerity.
 The woman who appears at break fast pleasing picture of daintiness and good grooming has already won half the battle for the day.
 First of all give yourself plenty of time to dress. Begin with cold plunge and then 8 good massage, after which you are ready to attend to your finger nails and complexion
 Then brush your hair until it shines and arrange it in a very simple, coiffure the only thing to do for the breakfast hour.
 Then see that your morning attire is
  one morning recently q had to or I should never have taken the liberty of an early visiD.
 It was a perfect joy to see this pretty woman Her hair so tastefully arranged. her nails so beautifully manicured, and the prettest fresh white Peter Pan waist with a dark blue skirt and the nobbest little white lowered apron-oh! she was good to look at.
 A good nights rest has everything to do with being an ideal breakfast wom- an" Late hours and tired nerves and an un-rested body require sleep in the morning and the clever woman takes it and makes no effort at breakfast at tire, but has her morning meal in bed The woman who has family exerts no better influence over her children than to send them off to school in happy frame of mind, remembering her as the fresh looking, pretty mother-their ideal always And the bread winners of the family rejoice in the memory all day of the sunny, bright, well dressed figure at the coffee urn in the morning, who gave them a pleasant send-off for the day and whose encouragement lasts throughout, it matters not how perplexing the cares and troubles
 Some belated Frenchman observed that most of the divorces nowadays came from a husband and a wife breakfasting together"
 His side of life must have been rath- CT distorted The breakfast table should be the most joyous, happy assembling of the day. It is the keynote to the rest of the day and the conversation of in- fectious good nature that sends every body into the days work with good spirits is tonic, which will do the worst of us good.

Nervous
 Prostration

"I suffered so with Nervous Prostration that I thought there was no use trying to get well. A friend recommended Dr. Miles Nervine, and although skeptical at first, I soon found myself re- covering, and am to-day we'll"
 MRS. D. I. JONES,
 $500 Broadway, Cleveland. O.
 Much sickness is of nervous origin. It's the nerves that make the heart force the blood through the veins, the lungs take in oxygen, the stomach di- gest food, the liver secrete bile and the kidneys filter the blood. If any of these organs are weak, it is the fault of the nerves through which they get their strength. Dr. Miles Nervine is a specific for the nerves. It soothes the irritation and assists in the generation of nerve force. Therefore you can hardly miss it if you take Dr. Miles Nervine when sick. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all ac- cording to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.

Incandescent Mantles.

It is not difficult matter to adjust the incandescent mantles to the gas fixtures, but oftentimes these aids to light are de- is a right way to do this, as there is with most everything. Hold the match at least an inch above the mantle, and, turn ing on the gas jet, let the mantle become ignited from that distance. The difficulty is that the match is often applied too quickly and closely and so the delicate fabric is injured.

A pretty finish for the neck and sleeves of a net waist is a plaited ruche, made of the net itself. This is made double, and after plating the tiny fitness is stitched into place. Then it can easily be pasted into the waist. If the net is dark, a tiny ruche of white tulle may relieve it.

If in replacing a shade on the roller the material seems to be weak, so the tacks will not hold, 1t may be strength ened by stretching piece of tape across the shade and tacking through that as well as the material itself. Then the strain is largely shared by the tape.

TO START GRADING
ELY=GOLDFIELD ROAD
EARLY IN JANUARY
Chief Engineer Rasor Says he will Soon
Accompany Party of Contractors
Over the Proposed Route.

c. NJ. Rasor, chief engineer for
the Tonopah and Underwater rail-
road, was a passenger on yesterday
mornings train from Ely, on his
way to Los Angeles, to attend a
conference there today of those in
terested in the Ely and Goldfeld
railroad.
He stated that the grading of the
first two sections of the new rail-
way will be started during January.
At the Ely end the first section will
be through Robinson canyon to the
summit of the Egan range Much
heavy work is in store for the con-
tractors on this part of the line.
'iThe first section at the western
end will be so miles long from Gu
prite to Golden Arrow" said Mr.
Rasor THE new road will leave
the Tonopah and Tidewater line
about three miles south of Cuprite
station or II miles south of Gold
field. and take a northeasterly
course until it strikes the Kawich
range at Golden Arrow We ex-
pect to have the road completed
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1909-12-04

this far by June and will then go
ahead with the next section, which
extends to Typo.
THE grading of the first western
section is a very easy task, as the
road will be across the Ralston des-
ert most of the way and for many
miles will be on a dead level.
From Golden Arrow the first Is
miles toward Typo will have a 1
per cent grade to the Warm Springs
pass. We expect to be in shape by
July to haul ore from the rich Ka-
witch camps and look forward to a
rapid development of this section
from now on The road will come
within eight miles of Silver Bow,
which later on will probably be
connected with a stub line Ellen
dale will be only ten miles from
the line"
Mr. Rasor will accompany the
contractors over the survey line
during the present month They
expect to have the ties and rails on
hans soon as the grading is COM
pleted
