FOR TAX BOARD.

1t is reported that Howard Vail,
who was the Democratic candidate for
Assembly at the last election, is can
didate for the position on the County
Tax Board now held by George Aus
tin, of this city, and whose term ex-
pires next spring.
While there are other candidate for
the place, the fact that Mr.. Vail is
said to have the backing of Sheriff
Garrison and other Democrats who
stand close to Governor Wilson, should
give him commanding position.
Senator Nichols, however, may have a
potent say, as the appointment has to
be confirmed by the Senate-Millville
Republican.

advantage If they are properly fresh.

CLEANING WITH MILK.
How to Use the Leftover Contents Of
the Pitcher.

How to Use the Leftover Contents Of
the Pitcher.
1t seems cruel irony to clean house
with milk when it is SO high ever for
those who wish to drink it, but sour
and skim milk and buttermilk are just
as good for this purpose. so it is not 50
expensive as it sounds.
Buttermilk is the best possible thing
to clean linoleum and oi!cloth. Just
mop it up with a soft cloth and watch
the dirt taken off by the application.
About once a week is often enough
for the cleaning.
Either skim or our milk will make
rubber plants grow. Wash the leaves
with a soft cloth in milk and water,
sponging each off carefully inside and
out and pouring the remainder of your
basin into the ground Of the tub. The
plant grows and thriycs on it.
Milk we'll rubbed into the wood
makes Il good furniture polish also
keeping the shiny surface in good con.
dition. You do not need frequent
treatment. At housekeeping time il
often enough.
SO here are three ways at least OF
using the leftover and spoiled con
tents of tie milk pitcher.

HOW TO CURE WITH MUSIC.
Investigators Find Certain Tunes Bene-
fit the Sick.

TIT the DICK.
Listen. YOU men Of medicine, and give
heed. you women who wait and watch
within the hospital wards and in the
sic..rOOms of our homes.
Here Is Il creed that Is new, yet
old, that has at its back the fervent
faith Of "a great theologian and thinker
and the practical Endorsement Of hard
headed physicians.
. II II the science Of healing by music.
Serious continuous experiments are be-
ing made by mel whose sincerity and
scientific attachments are above ques~
ton, and they assert that the results
already attained have nstonished the
most Sanguinc among them.
The tests have been and are being
made in the Samaritan hospital, Broad
and Ontario streets, Philadelphia, un-
der the direct supervision Of the presi-
dent Of that institution, the Rev. DIR.
Russell II. Conwell, famous throughout
America for the breadth and force Of
his opinions and the elOQuence with
which he enuncintcs them from pulpit
and lecture platform. They are fully
verified in all their details by DR.. Will
liam Haehnlcn and the other physi-
cians and surgeons comprising the staff
of the Samaritan hospital.
These men and the nurses who have
aided in making all the observations
unite in testifying to the beneficial ef
feet upon the temperature and pulsa'
tons of their patients of certain mu
steal airs and the evil and depressing
influence Of other tunes.
They found that the old rich melody

JULIA MARL0WE, WHOM INGERs0LL PRAISED.

THE late Robert G. Ingersol, who adoed beauty and talent wherever
found, "a a most enthusiastic admtrer Of Miss Julia Marlowe.
Colonel Ingersol took occasion to go somewhat out If his way to praise
the talent Of Miss Marlowe. Just now this actress is starring in
shakespearean roles, for which the world public should thank her
devoutly, for there is a surplus Of frohness and foohshness OF the
stage and mighty little Of the classic drama of the Bard of Avon. E. n.
Sothern, at present the chief male exponent Of Shakespearean drama,
is teammate with Miss Marowe. The charming and able actress is
forty years Of age-sh-h-h-h! don't breathe 1t loudly-but all the same
she looks like a bewtchng beauty Of twenty. Suppose that she we're
billed a 8 Sarah Frost or as Sadie Frost-would it sound as we'll as Julia
Marlowe: Perhaps not but her real name is Sarah Frances Frost.
Didn't know that, did you? She i accounted an American actress.
Well, she is, but she a born in England all the same. Her parents
brought her, a tender child, to Kansas, where she lived some years.
She began acting under the Ia OF Frances Brough. but later adopted
the Marlowe surname. Christopher Marlowe, the Kit Marlowe of
FOSTERING days in the early Enzabethan period, was the father Of Eng
fish blank verse. Kit was u through with a knife and killed when he
was about thirty, but Julia Marlowe has adopted his name.
