TO REMOVE OIL FROM CARPET

TO REMOVE OIL FROM CARPET.
 The other day a woman was hol rilted 10 discover that her maid lad left hand prints all around the edge of aa new carpet after rubbing the floor with oil.
 The maid had evidently been there before" for she knew what to do She bought a bottle of gaso line and rubbed each stain several times with the gasoline using d clean corner of the cloth and re- beating the application each time the former one dried, until finally tlp stain, too, had dI.ed out and no sign of the mischief remained. Here is hint for some other wo- man who may have a similar eX- perjence The windows should be opened and the heater closed while using the gasoline and only enough poured from the bottle to wet the cloth each time, the stopper being Kept in the bottle as much as pos, 5lbIe

TO ENTERTAIN YOUNG FRIENDS.

Dancing or cards is about the u.cest way 10 entertain. Nearly every boy and girl knows how to play cards and it is an easy way to get through an evening. If this will not do, then play the game ot cOnundrums Write out long list of questions on slips of paper and attaching a pencil for writing tn" answers. Any bright, original girl should not have to be told how 10 entertain her young friends. One question might be: What kind of wild animal is to be found on pull lie lawns? Answer, Dandelions. Why is the wick of candle like Athens? Answer, because it is in the middle of Greece What coat is finished without buttons, and put on wet Answer. A coat of paint, etc. An other way is to cut all the funny ColOred illustrations of ads, paste them on slips of paper and ask your guests to tell what the ac- companying advertisement was-that is to write it.

BLACK VELVET BECOMING.

Black velvet is the most becom- ing material ever invented especial ly for fair haired women, and it is not surprising that a well known beauty makes a practice of wearing it in some part of her bodice. whether in evening or late after noon dress
 Gowns are so constructed at pres ent that it is d simple matter to in troduce anything you like, whether it be a bit of embroidery picked up at sale, a morsel of lace or belt of velvet of any color, The way in which the lady in question man ages her particular mode is to have the sleeve made of it, and, in even ing dress to have the bodice edged with it round the decollete
 This shows up the whiteness of her arms and shoulders, besides en- hancing her wild rose coloring.

 If you are subject" to sick head aches then you may be pretty sure the marks do not disappear with the attacks, but remain to mar the beauty of your face That drawn look, those circles under the eyes, the sallowness of the skin-they are all traces left by the headaches
 In nine cases out of ten perhaps a little common sense. for wha ever the primary cause, secondarily heal aches are due to disordered nerves The first suggestion, then. is con trCl your nerves. Shut off the ten sion. Let yourself down. Close your eyes and shut out thoughts Remain thus for five minutes, and tomorrow at noon repeat the per formance and then the next day and the next and forever. Then put d watch over yourself and every time during the day when you catch yourself and your nerves gettina frightened into knots let down." \ few weeks attention and you will find that you have those nerves pretty well under control and if the headaches haven't stopped annoying D in condition to deal with them.
 Perhaps your system is in weak ened condition and you need a tonic, which the doctor will pre- scribe, but ordinarily camomile tea may be just what you need, and certainly il is harmless. The less medicine the better, and never, no matter how disturbing the head aches. be persuaded to try" pow ders or sleeping draughts Better let the headaches take their course than commence that habit
 Eat simply, avoiding rich foods and eat regularly and often rather than too greatly at a time. Drink plenty of water. including a glass of hot water with half a teaspoonful of baking soda in it once a week. and glass of water with half a teaspoonful each of soda and cream of tartar half an hour before break fast one morning out of the six.
 Take plenty of rest, snatching a nap, if for only five minutes in the middle of the day Beware of eye strain. Keep the eyes in condition by dousing them with water with salt in it every night, and keep clear of colds. In fact. use common sense to eliminate the recurrent headache.

Shortage of Paper.

The war in Europe has taught us
many things. 1t has opened wide our
eyes. One thing that will be doubly
impressed on the American people
within the nest few months is the i'm
portanCc CT economy and the thrift of
saving.
No one except people in a position
to know &. canned that this country
imported rags from Europe. We
have been doing this for years. Be-
cause Of the necessities Of European
cites and the extent Of poverty, rags
are saved as valuable assets. Here
we have given the subject but little
thought. Few American citizens pay
any attention TO what becomes of
their old newspapers, magazines and
rags. They are usually consigned to
the ash barrel, and we let it 90 at that.
Now comes a critical issue, and for
the good of the nation let every man
and woman, boy and girl take heed
Of the petition OF the national paper
manufactures OF the United States
when they ask that all old paper, rags
and other raw material be saved.
A conference held last week al
which public attention was called to
the great amount of such material
daily wasted. More than this, the
fact was frankly stated that the Amer
! lean people are face to face with ;
possible paper famine. Commercial
Appeal.

AT the meeting of the Commission
ers Tuesday several important mat

The contract for supplying the city
with crushed stone was again let to
the Hopkinsyille Stone Co., at 80
cents per yard for $500 yards. This
price is u cents cheaper than last
year, and more stone will be used.
John Sites was named as city rev.

The State pays 20 per cent commits

Sites will be paid the same if it is
justified under the law.

APRIL IS
THE MONTH
In Which to Take School
Census all Over the
State.

April is the month in which the
school census is taken all over the
State of Kentucky. The law provides
that the census shall not be taken
before the first Of April and all CEN
sus reports must be filed with the
County Superintendent on or before
the 10th Of May. A full supply of
blanks for taking the census have been
sent to the office of County Superin-
tendent Foster. The trustees may
get same by calling at his office.
The County Superintendent requests
that all trustees either call or send for
his blanks, as it is rather expensive
to mail them. The Superintendent
further urges that the trustees and
patrons Of the entire county be care
full to see that every pupil of school
age is listed, as it means a larger por-
ton of the State fund for this county.

Three True Steels.

Iron and carbon steel, vanadium
steel, and tungsten steel, are pointed
out by Prof. j. o. Arnold. British
metallurgist, as the three true steels.
The second kind is iron and carbon
steel with five per cent of vanadium,
the iron carbide having ceased to ex-
list, and vanadium carbide being pres
ent, and the third kind is iron and
carbon steel having Ills per cent Of
tungsten, the iron carbide having been
expelled by the tungsten. Iron and
carbon steel hardens at $50 degrees
c.; vanadium steel. just below 1850
degrees. it's melting point, and tung-
stem steel at $50 degrees to 1900.

Can't Remit Fines.

County Judges, who have RENTED
or suspended fines, will be held
strictly accountable for the State
portion of the fines by State Inspector
and Examiner Nat B. Sewell, who
has received an opinion from Assist
ant Attorney General o. S. Hogan
stating that, while judge has the
right in term to set aside judgment
and grant new trial, he has no au-
thority to suspend or remit fine.
II is customary in many counties
for the County Judge after sentence
to remit the fine or to suspend it, or
to go to the Jail and direct the release
- a prisoner serving out fine. This
has been held to be direct exercise
of the pardoning power, which be-
longs alone to the Governor. County
iailers, the opinion says, have no
right to release a prisoner on such
terms.
y The opinion quotes the Court of
Appeals, saying: THE practice of
suspending the judgments of courts
in misdemeanor cases is failure to
enforce the law; it encourages crime
and is menace to good government. :"
Inspector Sewell said judges must
take steps to collect the fines and ex.
ecute their judgments, or they will be
required to pay the amount into the
State Treasury.

Some people seem to think that

wasting your time unless you agree
with God.
Lots of you women have not relig-
