USES FOR SODA.

When tins are hard to wash or when food has been burned on them put the dish on the stove, fill with cold water, add a teaspoonful of soda, bring the water to boil. and the dish will wash easily.
 Cold rainwater and soda will remove machine grease from washable fabrics.
 For headache or sour stomach take a half teaspoonful of soda in a little water
 For dyspepsia a quarter of a tea spoonful of soda in a tumbler of water, drunk three or four times a day, gives relief.
 Cover burns with a paste of soda and cover with damp cloth.
 To keep gruel or milk sweet put in it pinch of soda.
 Weak soda water is excellent in cases of pricllly heat or fever.
 To restore the finish to furniture or woodwork wash it thoroughly with a solution of warm water and a little soda. Rinse well and wipe dry.
 Lard that has become rancid may be sweetened by reboiling and adding a little soda.

Greatest Era of Street Improve
 ment, on record

Williams is now enjoying an era of greater and better street inn provement than the town has hith- erto experienced. The cement walks along Bill Williams, avenue between third and fourth streets, which are just being completed are being placed to stay and will con- stitute a long enduring credit to the town. The many board walks too, which have been and others that are now being constructed, are worthy of approval. They are built in a way to last and a great improvement over the older walks. The cement culverts which the city is constructing at many of the street crossings, will prove fa1 more economical than the oIo board crossings, in the end and the council is to be commended for in- sisting upon the use of cement ir this work.
 Withal, Williams is fast taking on appearances fitting to the pros porous and progressive town which she really is, and if the presen rate of improvement is maintained will soon rid herself of the la. relic of the old ramshackle days.

COMMON SENSE
It is just plain common sense when you come to think about it.

Don't spatter a pint of brains over the vast field of art, science and literature. Don't think that a smattering of Greek and Latin Analytics and college yells mak ke one a learned man or fits him for business, and don't hitch busi- ness brain to a Greek lexicon. Many man becomes nothing by trying to become all. The shot gun uses much more ammunition than the rifle, but it isn't half as effective except on little game. - If you wanted to be dentist you wouldn't attend law school. Ii you wanted to be eye, ear, nose and throat specialist, you would not attend a theological school. If you wanted to be a lawyer you would not attend a medical university. Why not apply the same good common sense if. you want to be a busi- ness man or woman and attend a college that makes a speciality of thoroughly preparing it's gradu- ates by giving them a complete course of the following subjects: Bookkeeping, Sal ma nip, shorthand, tXpewriting, Money and Banking Corporations and Finance, Taxation and Public Fi- nance, Private Secretaryship, Advertising, Business Law, Busi- ness English, Commercial Arith- metic, Real Estate and Insur- ance, Commercial History, High CT Accounting, Economics, Par limentary Law, Managerialship, Cotton Chasing, Telegraphy and Station Work, etc.
 The professions are all over crowded; 1t requires half a life time for one to succeed in them, and half a fortune to begin suc- cess. With business it is not so. The average business man earns S27, ,OOO.00 more than the pro- feSsional man in the average

Uses of CheesecIoth.

Cheesecloth has always been consid- cred one of the housewife's first aids. Nearly every one uses it for cleaning purposes, and when one begins to de wise uses for it they will be found a legion. It makes nice dishcloths, and two yards will make three OblOng shaped cloths, which should be whip ped around the edge and quilted from corner to corner. A large piece of it about a yard square makes a service able duster. The edges should be hemmed or turned in on the machine. If it Is doubled or quartered, quilted and dipped in coal oil or placed in a tin lard can or box containing oil it will render as good service as any cloth you could buy. A piece placed over the pipe and under the radiator will prevent the dust of the room from passing to the cellar and dust from the cellar coming up. Several ruffles of cheesecloth attached to the handle of a wornout dish mop make a good duster. A piece of the cloth should always be kept in the sewing machine for cleaning it, as 1t leaves no lint and absorbs oil and grease. It is also fine for cleaning the stove. A fresh or clean piece can be well used for cleaning the electric bulbs and globes about the house. Some women prefer cheesecloth towels for cleaning silver, glassware and fine china.

party leaders, business men and COM
mercial organizations, so far as there
has been expressions of sentiment in
those quarters. Col. James McNee IL,
one of the leaders of the Republican
party in Pierce county, in an open
letter declares his agreement with
Gov. Lister as to the necessity of
constitutional revision by constitu-
tional convention" This STEP" he
further declares, sis absolutely nee
essary if we desire to reduce the pres
ent burden of taxation"
Governor Lister considers the issue
one of the most important the pres
ent legislature will consider. "All
feel the urgent necessity of the con-
vention," said he yesterday, the only
objection from any source being that
it delays too long the relief which can
be secured through it alone. To fully
satisfy such sentiment we should en-
deavor to secure all relief possible
under the present system and take
steps Immediately for the calling of
