When their last pay enve1 oPe comes along, it is usually Your ser vices no longer required.' If the truth were known, the reason for their un- ceremonious removal would proba bly be that their usefulness was destroyed because 'of some mental worry, bodily allment or general indisposition. These things, as we all know, are the most fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life The battle of Waterloo was lost because of a headache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid, active and free from out side influence or worry, or else we go down to failure with the throng of ''foaters" who go from one place of employment to another, giving no sat- iSfaction to others or to themselves constantly growing older and less use ful, with no ambition, no will power, and no hope.
 Every man requires from every otfl- CT man the best that is in him. But no man can use or get the best that is in himself until he is first free from all fretful indispositions and worries.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Bric-a-brac containing mother-of- pearl should never be cleaned with soap and water, instead, it sionld be rubbed with a cloth dipped into whit ing and water.
 Cooked beets. hollowed out and pickled in spiced vinegar, may be fill ed with minced celery and apple and served on lettuce leaves with oil and vinegar.
 Paint the inside woodwork of bed steads with corrosive sublimate and turpentine, five cents worth of the for mer to a pint of the latter. It will de- stroy all vermin.
 To make egg gruel, beat one egg in a bowl, add salt, little parsley. a teacup of boiling water Cut into small pieces slice of toasted bread and pour gruel over it.
 A delicious flavor is added to the maraschino cherries used in or as a decoration for fruit OF other salad by stuffing them with pecan nuts, chop ped rather coarse.
 It is. a good plan to place pieces of cotton flannel between plates when they are piled in the china closet It reduces the danger of tbreakage and prevents ratt1ing.
 To run rods through the cash cur tains put a thinble on the end of the rod, or the fingers of an old glove, and the rod will slip through without tear ing the fabric

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

If one has baked beans left and does not wish to use them warmed over. try making them into salad or soup. They are excellent either way.
 Peaches and cream is a traditional favorite, but not many know that 4 dish fully as good is ripe pears and cream. The pears should be very cold.
 For falling hair try nassaging the soap nightly with a lotion made or three drams of pure glycerine, four ounces of lime water and half an ounce of tincture of cantharide5.
 A clean cloth dipped in hot water. then in a saucer of bran, will speed fly clean white paint without scratch ing it in the least. The soft bran acts like soap on the dirt
 Little white spots on the nails are generally caused by the use of q hard from the nail. An orangewood stick should be used instead.
 A sweet for winter use is "a marma- Jade made of equal parts Of qu1nce and apple. The combination IS decid- edly tasty and not so rich a compete as when quince alone IS used.
 To clean gilt, try touching It up little at a time with a cameps hair brush dipped in alcohol Do not let it dry. but rub off with a flannel, which should be changed frequently.
 Boiled radishes are dainty. Cut them into rounds about half an inch thick. boil ten minutes in slightly salt ed water and fry in butter until ten- der. They should be highly seasoned.
 If the colored candies used for guest tables and other restive occasions be- come soiled before they are consumed. they can be nicely washed with a soft brush, white soap and warm water.
 Cushion covers, especially designed for piazza use, come stenciled in most artistic designs, and may be had in q variety of colors. They are in denim. crash, burlap, mons cloth and linen

THE MANUFACTURER
 INTERESTED

Every manufacturer is interested in the mill supply department of the Lyon & Grumman Co. because it ca ters to an important branch of the city's industries. The manufacturer knows the importance of having a depot for supplies in cases of emer- gency and also for the regular fac tory requirements. The mill supply department was established by the Lyon &. Grumman Go. to meet the de- mand for emergency calls and also to fill orders for regular daily factory needs. A full line of all necessary ac- cessories for power transmission such as pulleys, shafting, hangers. coup lings, belting, etc, etc, are constantly carried in stock, as are also tools and implements for the factory work shops. The convenience to the manu- facturer of this department is appre- ciated from the fact that in former years it was necessary to purchase all supplies direct from New York, caus- ing delays and annoyance. The mill supply department of the Lyon & Grumman Go has eliminated this fea- ture, and now all that is necessary is to telephone the order and delivery will be made in double quick time by automobile.
