AFTER CHRISTMAS CLEARANCE

After the Christmas rush is passed and store keepers everywhere have a chance to sit down and think it over, then are found many articles that need moving. out before the January inventory, and the first of January is set down as the time when such sales commence. Not so with the Credit Clothing Department Store of Caesar Misch, Inc, however, for right on the jump, they have named Saturday as the day when the clearance is to conn mence and all broken lines and odd garments have been remarked for a quick clearance so that their immense stock of wearing apparel will be in "apple-pie' order by inventory time This is the time to look for bargains and those who go- to this live store on Saturday will not be dfsappointe ed. Cheerful credit makes it simple matter for all to buy what they wish, as nothing need be paid at the time of purchase, and the balance of pur- chase price is divided up into small weekly amounts.

You can see the back Of your head
at any angle, in a mirror recently in
vented.
1t makes it much easier for a wom-
an to do up her back hair, with some
idea of how it will look to the public
at large.
A swinging mirror is fastened at
the side of a window at some de-
sirable height. A strap is buckled
around the users head. and extending
forward from this is an arm, on which
a small mirror is movably mounted,
so that 1t can be tilted in any direc-
ton.
BY standing in front Of the wall
mirror then and getting the image
there reflected on the small mirror,
the woman who wants to know just
how her back hair looks can find out
or she can get a view of her head
from any point.

EXTRA CONVERSATION LAW.

In conformity with the suggestion
made by Ex Governor Crothers, th,t
the counties Of Southern Maryland
should oe allowed an additional sum
Of not less than 100000 to be used
in building public roads, Senator
Frere has introduced a bill which
will be the first move in carrying out
the wise, and TO us mostimportantsug
gestion Of the Ex Governor Senator
Frere has incorporated in his bill as
first money to be used is the building
of the road from La Plata to Indian
Head; the building Of the road from
Rock Point 20 Mt Republic, and the
the road from Waldorf to Hughes
vile and other necessary work on
our county roads. The former
Governor gave as his reason for the
necessity Of an extra appropriation
for the counties Of st. Mary's, Cal
vert, and Charles, that they were
comparatively isolated from business
centers for lack Of transportation
facilities, that with them this section
of the State, with all its natural adj
yantages, would soon equal, if not
out distance many other portions Of
the state now prosperous only be-
cause they had quick aud ready
transit to the important cities of
Baltimore, Washington and Phiadel-
phia and that the other counties had
at various times received liberal state
appropriation to help in making iu-
ternal improvements. There can be
no measure that will come before our
representatives in the State legisla-
ture than this one and we take great
pleasure in recording the fact that
our State Senator Frere, hes taken
up this matter at this opportune
time.
We have differed and still differ,
with the Senator on politician issues,
but our divergence of opinion on
those questions will not prevent us
from placing ourselves Oh record as
standing by, endorsing, and backing
him up, SO far as our ability goes in
LIS efforts to have laws enacted that
are and will continue to be of per-
manent benefit to all our people.
We do not wish to appear sycophan-
tic, and we are not, but we will say
that Senator Frere is the right man
in the right place, that no county has
representative who is more alive to
its welfare than has this county in
the person of w. J. Frere, as attested
by his earnest intelligent and courage
Gus efforts in the interest of the peo-
pie Of Charles, and we believe that
those efforts in behalf of his new
road law will be crowned with
success.

Tea is to be found in every tent and
dwelling in Siam There IS always a
kettle on the fire filed with tea and
prepared for drinking. which is done
by adding milk. butter and salt. This
is their way of fixing this beverage
and is said to be pleasant after one
becomes accustomed to it. A peculiar
mode of hospitality is shown by these
people in reference to their tea. 1t is
always at the disposal Of every stran-
ger and traveller. He need not ask for
it. Neither is 1t expected that be
should. but he must have his own cup.
This IS imperative. and accordingly
every one carries a cup with him at all
times. Some of these utensils are mar
wells of workmanship and are highly
valued They are generally made OF
some fine grained wood and ofttihles
are lined with silver and gold.
