The readers of this paper will be
pleased tc learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical frternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease requires a CON
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pat
lent strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

Words We Butcher

Are either and neither pronoun-
ced "eether and "neether' or eye
Their" and "neyther'? This ques-
ton, much disputed, is answered
in :avor of either" and "neether"
by Julian w. Alternately in a use
full little book entitled Correct
Pronunciation" and published by
Charles +. Merrill, OF New York.
Not single modern dictionary
gives "eyether' the preference,
says the little book, and goes on
to quote Richard Grant White,
who says "eyether" in an affecta-
ton at that. Which should hold
the "eyether' advocates a while.
And now about the word vase.
Its pronounced "vace', whether
it comes from the Io-cent store or
Tiffanys. "Naze" is wrong, says
the book, and "vawz" is vulgar.

Useful To Know

Dates and figs cut in small pieces and
served with plenty Of sugar make tas-
ty accompaniment to a dish of rice boil
ed in milk
To keep the finger nails clean and white
bottle OF pure olive Oil, soap and water
should be on every washstand. About
one tablespoonful of liquid soap to an
eight-ounce bottle OF water. Add a
tablespoon of peroxide oil hydrogen.
Keep an orange st.cl handy, and after
each washing of the hands, dip the
orange stick into the bottle and run the
stick around under the nails. 1t will
both cleanse and bleach the nails.
If lace curtains are very dirty, it is
best to wash them first quite quickly
through one lot of suds, then soap we'll
and let them soak for a few hours in
fresh suds. Then wash them thorough
~ and rinse in clean water.
An excellent furniture polish Is made
by mixing three parts linseed oil and one
part spirits of turpentine. Use piece
of cloth or fine flannel and apply to the
surface of the furniture, then rub well
with a wooden pad.
To remove grease spots from silk, make
a paste OF equal parts of powdered FrenchT
chalk and fullers earth with either water
or turpentine and Apply it to the spots,
allowing it to stay on few days before
brushing it off.
Natural wood kitchen tables should oc-
cas.onally be topped over with cult
lemon, then rinsed well with clean warml
water. The result is a white board with

The most delicious salads are mixed in
the bowl in which they are served This
can be done by the hos ess at the table
The bowl should be plenty large. First
sprinkle the salad with salt, then pour
plenty of OIL over it; then toss it about
lightly in the bowl with the wooden salad

Another tally for us oId-fashioned

Another tally for us old-fashioned
folks.
Perhaps you've been confused
by hearing people talk about "rice"
and finding out afterward that they
meant the noun rise. Well,
they wer wrong too. A straw vote
of the best modern dictionaries
hands the preference to "rize" as
the proper pronunciation.
Another word that is frequently
mispronounced is depot. 1t should
be "deepo,' not 'deppo" or "day-
POI.
Our old friend Jean Vatican, OF
course, is properly "Zhan Valz-

"afflaytus, not the divine "afflaa-

Gibberish is pronounced with
hard 6, and not ''jibberish," and
the word flaccid is "faksid," not
"fasid."
"amatoor" or 'amachoor."
The Antipodes-Australia, you
know-are pronounced ''antipo-

When the wind soughs through

A faucet is a "fawcet," not
fasset.'
These are only a few samples.
The book contains 1000 words
which are commonly mispro-
nounced and 500 proper names
which are frequently improperly
spoken. A little study OF it will
enable you to bawl out almost any
of your friends frequently, besides
tending to improve your own vo-
cabulary.
Careless and slipshod enuncia-
ton among presumably cultured
people, the author says, SIS prob
ably more common in the United
States than in any other country
in the world. A Frencnman is
proud of his speech and treats it as
fine art, while an American re-
CARDS his speech with indifference
or contempt"
Probably he is right, as he is
Phi. d. and the author of book
on American literature. At any
rate, study of his little book is
likely to prove beneficial to any
of us.

Divorce Hit 10000

The urgent need OF uniform mar
rage and divorce laws in all the
States of the Union to check the
ever-increasing divorce evil, which
as it was pointed out-has in
creased three and one-third times
as fast as the population of the
county in the last 40 years, was
discussed by the New York State
Marriage and Divorce Commits
sion and temporary organization
was effected toward the end OF
bringing about such uniformity OF
marriage and divorce laws
throughout the country.
The conference was presided
over by Bishop Charles Burch and
was attended by prominent church
and social workers OF various
faiths and denominations. Among
those present were Bishop David
H. Greer; DIR. Felix Adler, OF the
Ethical Culture Society; the Rev.
DR.. Sidney E. Goldstein, assistant
rabbi of the Free Synagogue; Mrs.
Anna Garland Spencer, OF the ex-
ecutive committee of the Ameri-
can Vigilance Association; the
Rev. Francis Nj. Moody, who has
been leading the agitation Tor uni
form divorce laws in the West,
and representatives Of the 1nterna-
tional Council for Patriotic Ser
vice. 1t was announced that
Bourke Cochran, who had pre-
viously said that he coulu not join
the commission in its work with
out the consent OF Cardinal Far
ley, had since given assurance OF
his cooperation, thus apparently
indicating that the objects OF the
movement met with the approval
OF the Cardinal as we'll as the reli-
gious leaders of other faiths.
The Rev. MIR. Moody outlined
the conditions that made neces-
sary the passage OF Uniform di-
vorce laws throughout the coun-
try.
The Pacific Coast" said he,
'has been the greatest divorce
centre not only OF this country,
but OF the entire world, and in that
belt OF Washington, Oregon and
California the divorce centre has
been San Francisco. In the year
1912 alone there were granted in
this country over 100000 divorces.
More than 10000 children, mostly
under the age OF 10 years, were
deprived OF one or both parents by
divorce. In the 40 years alluded
to 100000 adults were separated
by divorce in the country, and
more than 100000 persons were
affected by these cases.
"The bulk OF these cases in that
period have been i'll the Middle
Western States, nine o: which pro-
vided o32,ooo divorces, or practi-
cally half of all the divorces in the
country. Illinois alone provided
10000 divorces, and for this rea-
son we have deemed it wise to
make the beginning OF our move
ment in that State, where we now
have a commission on marriage
and divorce striving to bring about
reform of the marriage and di-
vorce laws and work for country
wide uniformity thereof. Penn
sylvania had $500 divorces, the
State OF California $4,000 and that
OF New York 44,45o,
In this country there is press
ing necessity for legislation re-
curing every State to see TO it that
both the parties in every divorce
suit are represented. IA present
90 per cent of the cases go by de-
fault, with only one party repre-
scented. In Reno, for example, di-
vorces are granted on the utterly
uncorroborated testimony OF one
party to the suit"

NAMES DANDELIONS
The Crop Worth 100000 Yearly

In about three weeks Maine dande-
lion pickers will begin the labor oil
harvesting the annual green crop OIL
the State.
No effort has ever been made by the
department of labor OF the State 10
ascertain correct figures as to the
value of this product to the people OF
Maine. If these figures could be
gotten together it would be astonlsh-
ing to see the total figure.
BY those who have made some OBJ
seryations 1t is estimated that the
revenue to the diggers of greens will
reach a total of 100000. This estimate
includes the boys and girls who every
spring make a business of digging
dandelions and peddling them from
house to house in the cities towns anc
larger villages of the State.
They receive an average OF 10 cents
for what is known as a 10-quart pal
of green's. A smart boy or girl VIII
easily dig three of these pals out
side of school hours each day and viii
find no difficulty in disposing of then
all On top of these figures are those
people in the country who make
business of supplying the city and

greens into town by the barrel. Us
