LOOKING BACKWARD ON
THE FAIR.

Now, that "the agony" is
over, what of it? One thing
decidedly impressive was the
weather. The Fair encountered
three days of continuous rain, the
worst weather, perhaps, in its
history. And to this is due
perhaps failure was had. Of what
course the gate receipt were cut
down.
The attendance was good the
first and second days, consider
ing the weather. Given good
weather the Fair would have
been record breaker all around.
The exhibits were good. In
the agricultural domestic and
art departments there was a
creditable show all around. The
domestic department was much
smaller than heretofore, due per-
haps to dividing honors and
attention with the school ex-
hibit.
The apple show was pronounc-
ed fine" by the visitors, not
withstanding this is an "off
year" for fruit in this county.
There were over one hundred
entries in the apple show besides
number of exhibits not named
and on which no premium was
offered. Apples can be grown
in Tazewell-are being grown
now, and all that is needed is
more and better attention to be
paid to pruning, spraying and
cultivation of orchards. The corr
and farm products exhibit was
short, due partially perhaps tC
q the fact, that the Fair is helC
too early for the maturity of the
crops. But more than anything
else in the way, is the indiffer.
ence or recognition by the
farmers of the value of these eX.
hibits from an educational point
of view. A county fair without
the farmer and his exhibits, is
a useless expense and worry, and
has no businss to live. 1t is a
misnomer, and should be abolish
ed unless it can be made effect
i've, or else have it understood
that the meeting is only a big
picnic, with a few cheap, ques-
tionable amusements, and a few
horse races thrown in.
1t should be said and empha-
sized, that the continuous rains
kept back a number of exhibit
ors who intended to be present.
but making all allowances the
farmers of the county, outside
OF three or four, have never
shown the interest in the agri-
cultural display which the Fair
management expected, and had
the right to expect. But, after
all, the Fair is growing. Taking
the school Fair into consider
alton the exhibits made were
perhaps larger than any County
Fair in the Southwest. The
youngsters saved the day."
and so far as the show itself
was concerned, taking all in all,
1t was a great success.

You don't want calomel; you don t
need it. 1t shocks the liver. It's like
taking heavy club to get action from
horse when a gentle tap from a
small whip would do the work better.
You surely do need CARSWELL'S

action into your liver, but strength,
health and vigor into the whole body

1t was much fuller and more
complete than last year. 1.-The
enemies" and friends" of farm
and garden, and how each should
be dealt with, was shown, and also
explained in interesting talks
by DR.. Price,. So far as reported
this IS the only exhibit of the
kind in the State, and should
have been of incalculable value
to the growers of vegetables and
fruits as well as field crops. DR..
Peirce expended great deal of
time and patient work during
the, year, in collecting mounting
and preserving these numerous
insects and bugs, and deserves
the highest praise.

a small percentage of these in

Another suggestion / might make
to girls who want to be beautiful

portant OF the rewards Is that she

She will lose self consciousness,

She will be happier and happiness is

Hints For the
Household

The uses to which eggs may be
put are many, apart from their en-
ployment as food. A mustard plaster
made with the white of an egg will
not leave a blister. The white skin
that lines the shell of an egg is
useful application for a boil. The
white of an egg beaten with loaf
sugar and lemon relieves hoarseness-
a teaspoonful taken once every hour
An egg added to the morning cup OF
coffee makes an invigorating tonic.
A raw egg with the yolk unbroken,
taken in glass of wine, is very BEN
eficial for convalescents.
To make frozen mutton taste equal
to English, place the joint in a large
basin and pour over 1t sufficient
boiling water to cover in which a
lump of soda the size of a hazel nut
has been dissolved. Leave for TWEEN
ty minutes. then remove, wash off
with cold water, dry with a cloth. and
season before cooking.
To break in" a new Den point
quickly, dip 1t in ink and hold it in
the flame OF lighted match for a
second. Wipe and dry with a cloth,
and then it will hold ink as well as
one much older.
If you have a hollow tooth and il
aches cut a piece of Glove to fit the
cavity and put it in lightly, allowing
the upper part to stick out like a
cork in a bottle. 1t viii soon swell,
keeping the air from the nerve, and
the pain will cease until the Glove
drops out when it may be replaced
by another.
When a pipe from lavatory basin
or a bath becomes clogged with soap.
mix handful of soda and handful
of common salt together and force 1t
down into the pipe. Leave this for
half an hour, then pour down a large
kettlefui of boiling water, afterwards
rinsing the pipe thoroughly with
warm water.
To prevent flies from settling on
pictures and furniture, soak some
leeks in a pail of water for some time
and wash the articles in the water.
Cucumber rind cut into thin slips
and put about where ants abound
will invariably drive them away.

lege OF an interview with Miss Emily
Stevens. who plays the part of the
willful and eXtravagant wife in To
day. now playing at the Forty
eighth Street Theater in New York,
You will come away with a vision of
very handsome woman in your
eyes, and If you are a man, it will be
also stamped on your heart.
Her hair? Well, perhaps it is gold,
Anyway, II looked like the glory of a
perfect day
Her eyes, Bright and happy and
mirthful, with a radiant soul shining
through; who cares what are their
color2
And her complexion? Could you de-
scribe the most exquisite coloring you
ever saw?
How do you work so hard and
keep so beautiful Miss stevens was
asked. Most women who have to
experience in one year the gamut of
emotion you feel every night would
grow haggard and old before their
time"
Miss Stevens laughed. q don't

lose their good looks by thinking
about them too much. Not" mod

Beauty
By MAUDE MILLER.

~ EFINITENESS is impossible in
the description of a pretty
woman.
The color of her eyes, the shade of
her hair, the beauty of her complex
ion and figure and the charm of her
manner are beyond the accurate de-
scripton one gives of wallpaper
And the handsomer she Is, the more
this is true. Perfection In the hu-
man face and form is the most elusive

with an enjoyment that takes no
