Il have discovered men seeking q
nights free lodging here when they
could well afford 10 stay at any Of the

They close up business a day or two
before the date on which their vessel
departs. and rather than spend q few
dollars Of their hoard they come here
to stay for the last two nights In
America.
This means needless expense to
the city and may deprive some man

She worries over her house, her chill

able to throw aside even In her lighter
moments worry's persistent note, and

Every woman who has driven her
self to this point should suddenly
take an earnest resolve and refuse to
worry. The nerve ridden woman says,
"Oh, that's all very well, but how can
one keep from worrying?" BY self

HOW A CHURCH MADE MONEY

A church guild made money by a
bazaar where nothing was sold over 81
and where most Of the wares were %
or 80 cents.
The New York Times tells how it
was exploited that this was to be no
"holdup" in the name OF charity.
Everything was donated, so the sales
were g:tin. The workers understood
that high prices could not be charged.

CARE OF HOUSE RUGS.

Small rugs should be taken to the
grass plot and there beaten well with
light whip or rug beater. Do not
turn over and beat on the wrong side,
as that breaks the rug. The beating
on the surface brings the dirt to the
top, and this should then be swept off,
sweeping with the nap, not against it,
as this wears out the rug. Lay large
rugs SO that when they are swept it
will always be with the nap. A badly
soiled rug may be washed. Do not at
tempt to wash large rugs while on
the floor. After a rug has been well
beaten the soiled parts may be washed
out with solution of soap bark or
boraX and water, using an ounce Of
bark to a gallon of water. The rugs
are laid fiat for this purpose, and If it
is done carefully and the rugs then
wiped off with n cloth wrung out Of
hot water until dry they will be clean
and bright and in nowise injured by
the washing.
