To Use Old Brooms.

Worn out brooms can be utilized in
various ways. For a floor pOlisher. cut
the straWs down half way and cover
with piece of felt or an old piece OF
carpet. Sweep the hardwood floors with
this and use it as a polisher after wax
has been applied. An old broom covered
with a soft cloth makes a handy brush
TO clean walls and ceilings.
Cut the handle off short, leaving about
six inches of it. and cut the broom
straws down until they are even across
the bottom. and you will have a handy
hearth brush
The usefulness of a broom can he pro-
lOnged many days by keeping the broken
ends of straw clipped of even across the
bottom; also you will find that II you
give your brOoms an occasional bath in
warm Suds and rinse them with cold
water they will keep fresh and new look
ing a long time. Never allow broOms to
stand on the straw end. Either hang
them up or stand them in the corner
with the handle resting on the floor.

in moderation. My advice to you in the
case of so much Inflammation and pain
would be to consult physician.
~ You may use the plain sage tea
for your hair, which, however. is for
the purpose of dyeing it. and is not
given for a tonic. l am sending you a
good hair tonic by mail.
CD 1 would suggest that you consult
a cleaner about the waist, although am
afraid that you will not be able to re-
move the dye.

Many people will be interested in the
new and simple manner in which hair or
fuzz Is removed from the face. neck, or

water and applying TO hairy surface
After two or three minutes rub II or,
wash the skin, and every hair has
vanished.
Druggists will charge you a dollar
for an original one-ounce package Of
delatone, but Il is well worth It's cost,
as Il Is both painless and harmless and
seldom requires the second application

AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

In the year eighteen ninety-one
My sad, yet hopeful life begun.
Mt. Sterling was my childhood
home,
Yet far from there I'm doomed
to roam;
My parents were quite poor, it
seems,
Yet wealth and splendor ruled
my dreams.
My disposition, as you know,
Gets worse as ages come and go;
My temper when aroused I'll say
Is apt with me to run away.
Ny eyes are blue, my hair is
brown,
And on my face | wear a frown,
UNLESS some pleasures interfere
and then | smile from ear to ear.
Pm not so tall, I'm rather low,
And weigh one hundred ten or so.
When six years old | went to
school,
Lest | should wear the name of
fool"
| studied hard and tried to learn;
But poetic genius" in me burn

At the age Of twelve fate frown-

And | just lived in misery.

When | was thirteen years of age

And then l put my thoughts to
