Told Judge OF Meeting.
| Yesterday the informant went to
Judge RobeEtson's Office at the court
house and told him of what he had
seen the afternoon before at a creek

home. fIe drove to the place where
the meeting had taken place. Then
he went to w. A. Lummus, an AL

passed by the house, then "eturncd
and entered. His wife was on the
porch AS he entered she followed
him into the house. Sharp words
passed, according to a negro servant
| who was present
In the meantime Sheriff Y. A. Nc
Cleskey had learned Of the strangers

to the Robertson home and endeav-
ored to passify the enragcd husband
Judge Robertson resented his inter

house. Going across the street to
his own home, Sheriff McCleskcy
Dhoned to George Rucker, editor of
the Alpharctt Free Press and bro
ther-in-law Of Judge Robertson, tell,
ing him Of what had transpired. Mr.

Dark Tailored Suits.

The tailor suit is without doubt the
necessity of the moment, and al

dark shades, a redeeming touch or

Work Not Hard and Is a Saving Of
Expense-Never Wash Them
on the Floor.

tt is better to clean small rugs at
home than to send them to profession
al cleaners Small rugs should be
taken to the grass plot and there
beaten well with a light whip or rug
heater. 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 n&p, not against it, as this
wears out the rug. Also when lay
ing large rugs lay them so that when
they are swept it will always be with
the nap. A badly soiled rug may be
washed. Do not attempt to wash
large rugs while on the floor. This
| method has been widely advertised
and appeals to the housekeeper be-
cause she need not take up her rugs,
| but the water Isoaks through and, hav-
| ing no way of escaping, dries up,
leaving layer of mud between the
warp, which gradually rots the
threads, while the carpet looks bright
on top. After 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
done carefully and the rugs then
wiped off with cloth wrung out of
hot water, until dry, they will be clean
and bright and in no wise injured by
the washing.

AS before stated, the main bust
ness of the B. B. H. is located at the
corner of Baltimore and Liberty
Streets, running through to Fayette
Street, which is considered the best
location in Baltimore.
The special feature of their New
Building is the improved mechanical
devices for handling their immense
volume of business, which they
claim will reduce their expense OF
handling the business materially in
comparison to what 1t costs their
competitors today to handle their
business with laborerS.
They attribute the biggest part OF
their success in business to the fact
that they have always handled their
business more economically than any
Other House and thereby they have
been enabled to live up to their ia
nous motto, MORE GOODS FOR
SAME MONEY--SAAIE GOODS FOR
LESS MONEY"
The architecture of the building
and the magnificence of it's interior
finish make it one of the handsomest
Wholesale Houses in America.
We congratulate Baltimore and the
Baltimore Bargain House upon it's
wonderful achievement. We look
upon Baltimore as the chief South
ern City and we are proud of her
ard anything she does in the way OF
expansion in the line of business.

The Baltimore Bargain House has
just completed history building,
which covers one-third of an i'm
mense city block, with an estimated
floor space of 100000 square feet.
The site is the corner of Baltimore
and Liberty Streets and running
back to Garrett Street.
This building, added to the adjoin-
ing buildings which the B. B. IL.
Salesrooms now occupy, extends over
almost S5 per cent. OF the entire
block.
All combined the B. B. HI. build
irgs cover almost three large city
blocks. This includes the building
mentioned above and their big Fay
cite Street building, their Clothing
Factory, their Warehouse at Scott,
Stockholm and Wicomico Streets
(Which in itself takes up an entire
block), and other buildings about the
city of Baltimore.
In 1911 the Sales of the B. B. H..
amounted to $13,345,789.5 This
statement was sworn to before No
tary before being published.
This makes them the Fourth Larg-
est Wholesale House in any one city
doing business throughout the United
States
= Taking into consideration that
they have No Travelling Statesmen,
they sell MORE Goods than any
other Wholesale House in America,
in any one city, without the aid OF
prummers.

WEDIcAL SCIENCE SHYS:
By John Nelson Colha, A. M. MD.
DO YOUR DRINKING AT MEAL.
TIME.


The time to drink water is at meal
time, rather than between meals.
Drinking between periods of digestion
interferes with the stomach's natural
rest. This very important principle is
also overlooked and violated when we
eat candies and fruits between meals
Water is not believed to call into
operation the activities of the diges-
tive glands in the same way that all
other liquids as well as solids do, but
the disposal of water does undoubted-
ly excite the muscular movements of
the stomach.
We need much water. Large
amounts are being constantly given
off by evaporation from the skin, ex-
halation by the lungs, and excretion.
through the various organs. But we
also take in great quantities of water
in ways we never think Of Bread,
for instance, contains moisture in the
proportion of about 80 per cent. for
the Vienna or French type, and 80 per
cent. in homemade bread. In cooked
meats the percentage of water ranges
from 40 to so, while in many vegeta-
bles and most fruits the water con-
tent is from 80 to 95 per cent.
Still, we need more, and the desire
to drink while eating is a physiologi-
cal as we'll as natural one. About
the only restriction is that we must
not make sluice-box of our mouths,
and use water as a conveyor to carry
on food which we have not taken time
to masticate. There is practically M
Danger of our drinking enough al
meal-time to dilute the gastric juice,
as has sometimes been declared.

TAKING CARE OF JEWELRY
Should Always Be Cleaned at Regular
lntervals-Rest Methods of
Proceeding.

Provide yourself with an old tooth
brush and soft brush such as jewel
ers use, a bottle of grain alcohol and
a box of jewelers. sawdust.. You will
also need soft cloth, piece Of
plain chamois thoroughly impregnat-
ed with rouge powder. A few add,
tional small bits of chamois are also
necessary for polishing. Then pro-
vide two dishes of lukewarm suds,
made with fine white soap, and your
outfit is complete.
First work on your plain, bright
gold jewelry, or other material, which
requires "a high polish. Rub gently
but. thoroughly with the rouge cham
dis until you bring it up to brilliant
polish. Next select the gold articles,
which look most difficult to you, put
them in the suds and scour thorough
ly with the toothbrush Practically
all the dirt should come off in this
process.
When completed, rinse in second
suds to clean still better. Then dip
in alcohol and give further brush
ing. Then dry carefully on soft
cloth and drop into the sawdust and
rub about until they show a bright
luster. With the jewelers. brush re-
move every particle of sawdust and
give the articles the degree of pol
ish they ought to have, using the. soft
brush and the plain chamois for this
purpose. The rouge Jehamois is the
highest polisher, but it can be used
only before an article has been
washed, because it leaves rouge pow
der on the iewelry.
All precious stones, except the
pearl, will be beautiful after such a
cleaning, nor will it dim the bril-
liancy of semi-precious stones, or
even of common glass limitations. 1t
will enhance their brilliance.
Silver jewelry that looks black will
come out of this process with a fine
Waite luster and gold will be returned
to its original richness. Sterling sill
yer jewelry can also be cleaned with
remarkable ease by boiling in sal soda
water.

IN LEISURE MOMENTS
DESIGNING OLD BEDsPREADS is
THE LATEST FAD.
Two Ieeas That Are Both Popular
and Effective Are in Strip or the
Diamond Design of Irvine or
Monks Cloth.

Young girls ave found a way to
Keep their nimble fingers busy in the
making of rather odd bedspreads
appropriate mostly for the rooms
of bachelor brothers. friends or even
uncles.
Of these new bedspreads there are
two kinds--those made of Irvine and
those made of monks cloth. Both are
popular and effective. 1t is matter
of taste. with young girl whether
she wishes to crochet a twine bed
spread or to sew together and rough
ly embroider one of monks cloth.
The Irvine bedspreads have taken
the place in the working of neck
ties for crochet work. Happily they
are not all made in one piece, but OF
many small squares or diamonds, ac-
cording to the design, which are sewn
together later. 1t is therefore an easy
matter to carry about in the workbag
ono or two pieces in process OF ma
king and to take them out whenever
an opportunity offers for little light
crocheting
The. so-called Irvine used for these
bedspreads comes in large balls like
those of ordinary Irvine, and can be
purchased at either fancy or depart
ment shops. The needle should be
of a size that handles well the par
ticular thickness of Irvine necessary
for the selected design.
Some girls are making these bed
spreads in strips after designs long
known in connection with afghans,
and prefer them to the those that are
made out of numbers Of small
squares or diamonds. The strip de-
sign gets rid of the labor of sewing
the many small pieces together. 1t is
also equally pretty. The designs made
In small squares or diamonds are real
ly more elegant, for they follow pat
terms suggestive Of cluny lace and are
done with finer Irvine than those in
strips, They are more for the young
girls own bedroom than for that CT
the bachelor brother. The successful
note about such work is that it pro-
duces an immediate stylish effect.
And once made such bedspreads last
forever.

The popularity OF the side frill or

many ornamental brooches. One of
the newest of these is made of gold
braid with colored beads for the cen

brooch Disks of gold braid sewed to-
gether and centered with jewels or
beads of desirable colorings make up
easily. All sorts of shapes are given
them and often pendants are added to
furnished gold buttons, of pas3emen-
terie ornaments or of beads or jew
els. the brooches have strong safety
pins sewed on at the hack.
