Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1911-07-20

A visit to Central Business Col
lege, Sedalia, Mo-, dispelled all
doubts from the mind of your cor
respondent as to the ability of Cen
trail College to accommodate the
enormous attendance that is assur-
ed for the coming school year.
Preparations are made to accommo-
date from 1000 to 1000 pupils.
Judging from the large number who
are now sending in a part of their
tuition to secure the best boarding
places and seats in the school, the
enrolment will reach from 1000 to
1900 pupils this school year. Hun
dreds are writing in to make ar
rangements. Pres. Robbins re-.
quests your correspondent to say
to you to send for catalogue and
special terms if you can enter be-
fore the first of September. Pres.
Robbins has placed several in good
positions the past week and several
positions had to 90 untitled for
want of proper person. One posi-
ton now on his desk for teacher
must be good penman and a good
teacher in business branches and in
English. Come to c. B. c.. and pre-
pare yourself and you'll be in de-
mand.

THE QUESTION OF COST.

The careful business man always
counts the cost and estimates the
benefits of every business enter
prise. Applying this method to the
proposition to rebuild the state cap

&c we find: The tax rate being 2
cents on the 500 assessed valua-
tion the following table will give
the cost to you:
Assd. Amt. Probable Possible
Val. Per Year. 10 Years. 10 Years.

When you consider tN~' your

TIE probable total cost to you will
be very small, while the limit of
che possible cost is not ID nnsome
at all. A man worth S2E } viii
not have to pay more t. | SLIGO
capitol tax per year, while the man
whose assessment foots Up $1,000
is only out 20 cents per year, the
price of a couple OF sood cigars
What about the benefits? The
new capitol provides rooms for the
state Offices; a meeting place for
the legislature; safe fire Of
vaults for the records Of the s. 81
and building that is your ca. eol
lone in which you have an inter
est and to which you can point
with patriotic pride. The adoption
Of the proposition by a large two
thirds majority would advertise the
state most favorably abroad, stamp
us as live, progressive people, at.
tract the attention O. 2meseekers
and give a general - JUS to
every business interest.
The cost IS small; the BENEFITS
are great. It's a wise iRvestm, It;

Hattie's Helpful Hints.

All cotton materials should be we'll
shrunk before making. Every woman
has had the unpleasant experience of
wash dresses becoming too short in
the waist and skirt, as we'll as being
too small. The best way is to lay the
goods just as it is folded in tub and
cover with clear, cold water, to which
has been added big handful or two
of salt to set the color. Let it remain
over night. Pin on the line without
wringing. When nearly dry press
careful with a real hot iron, taking a
great deal of pains to keep the selvage
straight. After one has once tried
this method she will not consider for
moment the making of a garment
without this precaution.

Rugs

In all the largest department stores
of the city one can see woven rugs
that are a delight to all housewives,
and the wise ones will take pattern
from them. They are woven of rags
cut just the same as the old fashion
ed rag carpets, and do not require
any more labor to prepare for the
weaver. The ones seen the most are
9 by II in size, but of course they
may be made any size desired. The
rags are cut and sewed hit and miss.
They are all put through a dye, brown,
blue, gray or whatever color one de-
sires. They are woven in one piece.
The border for that size should be a
plain stripe lighter in color as brown
with cream or tan border. Then at
home one can mark big leaves the
shape of a maple leaf on border and
with hot dye carefully stain the leaf
with pretty colors like Autumn shades.
1t will pay any one to send their rags
to the city to be woven. They come
out a much more artistic product.
Then floor only partly covered is
much better for the busy housekeeper,
it is so much easier to keep clean and
also all the heavy work of stretching

Care Of Canary Birds.

A great many people think it is
nothing to keep a bird. They feed it
when they think of it, with anything
that happens to be handy, including
sugar, bits of cake and crackers of
all kinds. They hang it out Of doors
whenever the notion takes them, and
in the glaring sunshine close to the
window pane; likewise they then
wonder why their bird does not sing
and why, il it does sing, its song is
not more beautiful. The best authOri
ties tell us the birds require careful
attention to keep them healthy and
in good voice. The cage should be
cleaned every day and perches scalded
two or three times a week. Bathing
water should be furnished at least
twice week, removing at once after
being used. The cage should not be
left in a damp condition as that may
cause rheumatism. Mixed seed should
be given, taking care that there is
not too much hemp seed; that is
fattening. A liberal supply of sand

carpets is done away with; the rugs
can be taken out several times year
The floor around the edges can be
stained.
In the next issue of this paper we
will give directions for treating floors,
both old and new, rough or smooth,
in fact how to deal with the floor
problem that puzzles the woman who
wants to do away with so much carpet
labor yet hesitates because of the con-
dition of her floor.
