Homemade Fire Exiting

A simple fire extinguisher may
DO made at home, and if kept al
ways on hand, will sometimes
prove of great value. Take TWEEN
ty pounds of common salt aud ten
pounds of salammoniac or nitrate
of ammoniac, which can be bought
at any drug store. Dissolve these
in seven gallons of water. Put in
thin glass bottles, holding a quart
each, cork tightly, and seal to pre-
vent evaporation. When a fire
breaks out, throw one of these bot
ties so that it will break in or near
the flames, or if this is not posi-
BILE. break off the neck of the bot
tie and scatter the contents on the
fire. This has been tested. Some.
times it is necessary to use several
bottles.-Home Department, Nov

A Handsome Woman

Every woman may not be hand.
some, but every woman should
keep with care the good points
nature has given her. No woman
need have sallow skin, dull eye,
blotchy complexion, who pays
proper attention to her health.
Where constipation, liverderange
ments, blood impurities and other
irregularities exist, good complex.
ion, bright eyes and sprightly
movements cannot exist. Internal
arrangements reveal themselves sooner
or later on the surface. Headache, darE
rings around the eyes, sallow skin, con.
slant tired feeling---mean that the live,
and digestive organs are needing help and
correction. Chamberlain Stomach and
Liver Tablets give this necessary help.
They, work in natures own way. They do not
merely flush the bowels but tone up the liver and
stomach to fulfill their proper functions. So milo
and gentle do they act that one hardly realizes
that they have taken medicine. Chamberlains
Tablets can be relied upon to relieve biliousness
indigestion, constipation and dizziness. Sold ev
erywhere. Price rs cents.

This was unanimously adopted.

New Ideas Worth Knowing.

Dip half a lemon in salt and rub
on knife handles; then wash i'm.
mediately in warm water and the
handles will be as white as when
they were new.
To remove coffee stains, rub the
spots with glycerins and water and
they will disappear as by magic.
Heat a lemon thoroughly be-
fore squeezing, and you will OBJ
tain nearly double the quantity of
juice that you would if it had not
been heated.
If housewives who dislike to find
worms when eating apples would
first put the fruit in cold water,
they would find that the worms
would leave the apples and come
to the surfaye of the water.
After washing lace curtains lay
a blanket Oh the floor in some
empty room; spread the curtains
on the blanket, stretch them care
fully. and they will keep their
place without any fastening until
dried.
Graniteware can be soldered as
easily as tinwars by adopting the
the following method Brush over
the edges of the holes to be mend
ed with shellac-both inside and
outside-and Immediately apply
the melted solder, which will ad:
here firmly.
The very best way to keep vio-
let's fresh is not to put them in
water, but to throw over them a
handkerchief thoroughly wet. and
set them in draught.
The best thing for cleaning pom
Gil erasers is a piece of old plas-
ter. Keep a small piece always
handy, and when the rubber gets
soiled a rub on the plsnter makes
it as clean as when new.
To keep iron sinks and iron ket-
ties smooth and free from rust,
never use soap in cleaning them.
Wash them in the water which
potatoes have been boiled, using a
we'll boiled potato to rub any spot
which may have become rough or
rusted, afterwards rinsing clean,
with very hot, clear water. By
cleaning in this way, they will al
ways be smooth and free from rust.
An excellent cleaner for guitars,
violins. etc, is made of one-third
each of lineseed oil, turpentine
and water. These shaken together
in a bottle form an emulsion or
cream. Rub the instrument with
a cloth dampened in the cream.
Wipe dry and polish with a wool
en- cloth.
Place pulverized pumice stone
between the layers of folded
piece of soft muslin and stitch
around the edge TO keep the pow
der from spillipg. Wipe lamp
chimueys or window panes with
this dry cloth aud they will be
clean and sparkling almost instant
ly. Enough powder will remain
in the cloth to be used many times.

On the $1OO Basis.

Reports Show That Question

ure in Average Levy.
palladium Specially

Indianapolis, Jan. 20.-Reports show
that twenty-nine counties in Indiana
have increased their tax rates, and
that these increases will affect the
taxes to be paid next year. These in
creases range from one cent to six
teen cents on the 500 of assessed val
uation. Therefore,, the taxes which
will be paid next year will be at the
new rate and will be higher than last
year. Twenty-one counties decreased
their tax levies. the decreases run
ming from one cent to nineteen cents
on the 500.
Pulaski county will be hardest hit
by the increase. The tax levy of that
county is sixteen cents higher than it
counties come next with an increase
of thirteen cents each. Miami and
Switzerland counties are tied for third
place, their increase being ten cents
on the 800. The other counties
which have increased their tax levies
are as follows: Blackford, 2 cents !;
Clark, 5 cents; Dubois, cents; Floyd,
IS cents; Franklin. cents; Hancock,
p cents; Howard, cents; Lake,
cents; Laporte, IS cents: Lawrence,
2 cents: Madison, cents; Marshall,
1 cent; Miami, 10 cents; Montgonl-
cry, 5 cents: Ohio, 1 cent: Orange. Z

eph, cents; Switzerland, 10 cents;
Tippecanoe, 3 cents: Union. 2 cents :;
Vermillion, 2 cents; Washington, 5
cents.
Where Levies Went Down.
Tax levies were lowered as follows
in the following counties: Adams.
cents: Cass, 1 cent: Clay. 5 cents !:
Clinton, cents; Elkhart, Z cents !:
Fayette, cents: Fountain. 5 cents;
Gibson. 2 cents; Huntington. s cents;
Jackson. cents: Jay, cents: Jeffer-
son, / cent; Johnson. cents: New
ton, IL cents; Noble, l cent; Shelby,
cent; Starke. 19 cents; Vanderburg,
2 cents: Vigo, 3 cents; Wayne,
cents; Whitley. 2 cents.
The reports show that the question
of whether a county contains saloons
does not cut any figure in the average
tax levy. Whether a county is dry
under the county option law or not
does not seem to matter much. Sa'
loon license fees and fines for the
violation of the anti-liquor laws, as
well as of all other state laws, goes
into the school fund and cannot have
any effect on the tax levy for the
county.
Sixteen of the counties which de.
creased their tax levies have no sa
looms. OF those counties which in
creased their tax levies eleven have
saloons while eighteen have no sa
looms.

EMPIRE STATE PARTY
LEADERS FAVOR PLAN
Report Also Current That
President Taft Will Take
Part in Big Reception to Be
Given Colonel.
(American News Service)

Washington, Jan. 20..That Teo-
dore Roosevelt has agreed to run for
congress in the First district of New
York state, with the understanding
that he will be supported for the
speakership, is the report among the
members of the house and senate.
Representative Cocks of the First
district. it is said, is willing to step
aside in order to make room for the
former president. Several members of
the New York delegation are avowedly
in favor of his candidacy, while others
think it would be an excellent way to
keep him from causing trouble in New
York state.
According to the report President
Taft is aware of the plan and has
agreed to be present at a great recep-
tion to beaccorded Mr.. Roosevelt when
he arrives in New York next June.
Will Launch Boom There.
1t will be at this public reception, it
is said that the boom of Roosevelt for
congress and the speakership will be

senatorship and before leaving New
York for his trip to Africa, he declined
to permit his name to be mentioned for
mayor of New York. 1t is certain that

ceed Governor Hughes.
The speakership of the house of rep.
resentatives is the one office in public
| life that is known to appeal to the
former president.
According to the information certain
| members of the New York delegation
many business men of New York, and
especially Wall street. will not approve
of Roosevelt. Timothy L. Woodruff
and other leaders in New York state
| however, are said to favor him.

An Arrest.
HE ALLEGED AN ASSAULT

James Switzer registered com.
plant with the police last night to the
effect that he and his wife had been
assaulted at his home on North Sixth
street by Charles Evans. He was told
to appear in police court this morning
and make affidavit for Evans arrest,
but he failed to show up and the mat
ter will probably be dropped.
Switzer claims that Evans accosted
him yesterday near the Morrisson-
Reeves library and accused him of tell.
Ing lies on him (Evans). Swisher CON

that while entering the house Evans

The little fellow, who suffered in.
tense pain from the bullet wound, ex-
pired with his hands clasped in those
of his mother.
Mother is Frantic.
The grief of Mrs. Shibley, who was
weak from the operation for the trans
fusion of blood. was pitiable. She
caught the dead boy in her arms, kiss
ed his pallid face repeatedly and call
ed upon him to speak to her.
Mr.. Shibley, the father, too. was
heart broken, and, sobbing. vowed
vengeance upon the slayer of his son.
After the TRANSMISSION of blood. in
which Mrs. Shibley gave up a pint
of her life's blood, the boy rallied and
the surgeons gave out hope for his
recovery.
Two suspects are under arrest to.
day. Nineteen have been arrested
since the tragedy.
