FOR THE WARM DAYS
NOW is A GOOD TIME TO FIX UP
PORCH FURNITURE.
Demands a Little Time and Trouble,
But Effect Is Well Worth While
Best Method Of Staining
New Articles.

1t is time to get cut the porch furni-
ture This sounds like a task easily
accomplished, but in reality it entails
a good deal Of work. The furniture
cannot be just lugged down from the
attic or up from the cellar and de-
- Sited as it is on the veranda IT
must be cleaned and freshened up
Some Of it needs a new coat of stain
or enamel. some OF it needs new
cushions Perhaps it must be replen-
ished, and that means careful shop
ping.
To begin with the cleaning. this
can best be done out OF doors. with a
garden hose and plenty of hot water.
For each chair have a pailful Of hot
suds. softened with borax Apply this
to the seat OF the chair with a stiff
whisk broom. and scrub 1t about Wig
orously. Then scrub the back, sides
and under part of the chair in the
same manner. Dash whatever suds
remain over the chair, and then rinse
1t with plenty of fresh, clean water
from the hose. Clean tables and all
other pieces Of furniture in the same
way. and let them dry out. OF doors
In the sunshine. or else near a fire.
The cleaning process described may
brighten the furniture sufficiently so
that no additional stain or paint IS
needed. II the furniture does need
fresh dressing apply the finish dec:d-
ed on without scraping on the old
paint. The result will not, Of course,
be perfect, but 1t will be sufficiently
good to make the time saved seem
worth while. Most porch furniture
is hardly valuable enough to spend
hours over with sandpaper and paint
removers.
New furniture should be carefully
stained or enameled. 1t can be bought,
OF course. already colored, but as the
price of most articles is a dollar less
when they are uncolored. and the
work is easy to do and pleasant any
cheap, 1t can advantageously be done
at home. Enough varnish, enamel or
stain for chair or moderately large
table costs from Is to Is cents.
Many decorators now give willow
furniture a dull instead OF shiny
finish To accomplish this apply a
fiat finish oil stain Put it on evenly, |
and allow the first coat to dry before
putting on a second.
II the stain Is not dark enough when |
1t has dried a second coat can then |
be put on without danger Of cloud
ness, sickness or thickness.
Another way to get dull finish IS |
to put on varnish stain and rub it
in as you put 1t on with a cotton cloth
This method makes the stain dry dull.

ECZEMA ON CHILD'S FACE

R. F. D. No. S, Lexington, Tenn
my little boy broke out on the face
with that terrible disease, eczema,
when he was just one month old, and
l just thought sure it would kill him,
as it killed our other baby at five
months old. It would break out in
pimples and scab over. and he cried
day and night. l thought that there
was no cure for him at all. His face
would itch and burn so bad that had
to tie his little hands down so he could
not scratch his face.
1--WE began at once to have him
treated until he was seven months old
and he got worse all the time. I sent
and got box of Cuticura Ointment
and one cake of Cuticura Soap. I had
not used them a week until l could
see a great change, and they cured
him sound and well and never left a
single scar" (Signed) Mrs. Lille

the leaders, which took place imme-
diately following the adjournment of
Council Monday afternoon.
Supporters of Alderman l. N. Rags
lale, second strongest in the race for
Mayor Pro Tenn, are by no means
willing to concede victory to Alder
man Nutting. They really expect to
win, but they admit that their only
chance is to get all the support that is
now lined up behind Alderman J. H.
Harwell.
Conceding that that strength goes
to Alderman Ragsdale, the Nutting
men claim that they still have their
II votes. Alderman Nutting has been
put forward as a strictly anti-WoOd-
ward party candidate and the leaders
Of this faction take the view they
can't afford to suffer defeat. They
would regard the defeat of Nutting as
Woodward victory in Council,
something that has not happened
since the beginning of the present
administration.
Woodward Keeps Silent
Mayor Woodward is silent, and that
adds to the uncertainty of the situa-
ton He might exert himself before
the voting takes place.
Another unsettled point is that
new member of Council must be
elected from the Second Ward before
the selection of the new Mayor Pro
TEN. Councilman Thomas L. Lynch,
senior Councilman from that Ward,
announced Tuesday that he would re-
sign on December l. His successor
will be named by Council instead of
by the voters of that ward. 1t is said
that either Robert r. Otis or j. l..
McCord will be the man. 1t is not
yet known how either of these would
stand in the Mayor Pro Tenn. fight.
But If the Nutting forces control
the strength they claim, the new
Councilman, whoever he may be, very
likely will be a Nutting supporter
He would have to be that to get
elected.
How They Line UP.
The known attitudes of the mem-
oers of Council is as follows:
For NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Alverson
Thomson, Maddox. Sisson, Wood
Boynton, Reynolds, owens, Gambler
Smith, White Mason-13.
For agsdale-Knight. Shepard,

into the charges made by Julian Haw-

The actual investigation, however,
will be conducted by a special agent
acting with either r, V. Ladow, head

In spite OF the fact that Warden
w. H. Meyer, in denying all charges
of bad food, mismana gement and
general bad conditions. announced
that the prison was open to the pub
lie to judge for themselves, visitors
regarded as critics of the institution,
have been refused admittance.
Mr.. Meyer has taken hold of the
situation with an iron hand in an eff
fort to stay the tide of criticism, and
strict orders have been issued to
guards that they must not discuss
conditions within the walls.

l see so many farmers setting
out trees each year and in a year
entirely forgetting what variety
was set there. They have to wait
until fruiting.time and then guess
at the name.
My way is to write down the
date when set, variety of fruit
and exact position, something
like this:
March 1st, set, apple-trees
Jones' nursery, back field, first
