Dolly Hears Mrs. Caudle, IT,, Deliver Some Very Pointed Curtain Lectures
 ('High Time" to Buy Winter Clothing)
By DOLLY DALRYmPLE

HHR there's one thing above all others
 that I hate-and you know 1t.
 S Mir Caudle-it is asking you for money. It is so humllating; you always answer me by asking where that quarter Is you gave me week before last and, of course, that makes me furiously mad As for myself. I'd go without things for ever before I'd ask you for a cent and 1 do, the more shame of you to let me but what's the use of flying out agains l may as well come right down to the point.r
 Its high time that the children had their winter clothing and so I've got to bury my pride and ask you for money with which to purchase it. It's pain full thing to do, but MT. Caudle our chil. dren must wear clothes. If it's painful why do l ask so often? Fie upon you. MT. Caudle! 1 suppose that's one of your jokes or puns that you hear at the the club, aint' it? Anyway, I must have money for the children's winter cloth ing"
 Too early to buy winter clothing? Do you realize what month it is, MT.
 
 if you please, and every bodys else chil- dren with new felt hats on and ours still in their faded summer straws What? You don't mean to tell me that you didn't see how the Smiths looked at the Browns and the Jonses looked at the Robinsons last Sunday in church when we came inf You didn't see it? Then the more shame on you. If you had any pride or obliga- tion as parent you would have seen it. but I'm sorry to say you haven't. Peo- pie can't worship properly unless they are properly dressed and it is an out rage to have our little ones disturbed at their devotions by anything so utterly absurd as being poorly and inappropri- ately dressed.
 My children shall not cross the door of the church next Sunday unless they have some new clothes; not a step do they go. Whats that you say? JnstilI- ing the wrong motives into their hearts by paying so much attention to what they wear to church? Yes, and I shall continue to do so. A feeling of being well dressed has done more to comfort many a woman than all the religion in the world!'
 Always wanting money for clothes, am I? Of course. And I shall keep on wanting it as long as the seasons have a habit of changing. Don't you love your children at al1 MT. Caudle? Aren't you willing to deny yourself a few ci-

will return to Annston within a short time to make this city his permanent home. He has purchased lot and made plans for the erection of a handsome residence on Woodstock avenue, and would have returned to Anniston soon CT but for the illness of Mrs Pelham. Judge Pelham states that while he nat urally regards Anniston as his home he has never been more cordially re- ceived than he has been by the people of Montgomery, whom he holds in the highest esteem.
 speaking of the present political sit uation Judge Pelham stated that he be- lieves Charles s. Mcdowell, Jr., of Eu- faula, former president of the Alabama Bankers association, and Thomas E. Kilby, lieutenant governor, of this city, will be in the race to the finish. Judge Pelham was associated with Mir. Me- Dowell in the Alabama Bar association, but he is one of the stanchest support CTS of Mir. Kilby, for whose business ability he expresses the highest ad- .miration., Tn view of Toms well known record hard fighter and aggressive campaigner, I predict that he will be hard man to beat Judge Pelham de- clared.
 Judge Pelham will be in Anniston few days before returning to Montgom- cry to take up his work on the bench.
 Sam P. Kennedy, president of the Alabama public service commission, has returned to this city after visit to his daughter at Shelbyville, Tenn. MT. Kennedy spent large part of the summer in the mountains of North Carolina and is much better equipped for his public and business connections. He will attend the next session of the public service commission at Montgom- cry.

There's no use to count them, you know how many there are; certainly. why not? They are yours. Let me see: We'll, $250 to begin with. Whats that, Mr Caudle? Are you throwing another coniption fit?

They only need bonnets and frocks? How do you know what they need, MT. Caudle? Have you ever been mother? Do you understand things as I do? Certainly not; then hold your tongue and let me say what the children need. Yes; $250 will do to start with.

Grease Spots on WalIpaper

How can l take big grease spot out of the wallpaper in my dining room? It had been on but week when careless servant upset a bowl of gravy upon it.
 ''T. F. D."

Leave it alone for "A hours. Then cover with plotting paper and hold warm (not hot iron upon the blotter for two minutes. Brush off the chalk, and should any trace of grease re- main repeat the process.

Remedy for Moths

"In trouble come to the Corner. We recently bought a home and found it in fested with moths of two or three varie- ties The largest and worst variety, am told, is the buffalo moth. It seems impossible to free the house of them, but I should like to know how to keep them out of the piano. If you can give me any information along this line I shall be everlastngly grateful. I have been using oil of cedar and turpentine, which kills the moths it touches but I find it is not effective in ridding the house of them. Fumigating with sulphur and car bolic acid will not do. w. E. D."
 Try this plan of warfare: Stir red pep of a tablespoonful to a pint. With a syringe inject the liquid into every crev- ice and corner Turn up the edges of the carpets and wet them with the mix ture. Shut the rooms up closely for few hours to allow the alcohol to evap- crate slowly. It is not likely that a single treatment will abolish the evil. Perse- were, adding now and then a lump of camphor (crushed) to the pepper. Gaso- line is the more effective remedy, espe- cially if mixed with camphor or cedar oil. Allow tablespoonful or cedar oil to quart of gasoline shaking the bot tie hard to mix the ingredients thorough ly. Keep the bottle closely corked,

Where Is Was Needed

''I wrote to you not long ago asking if might have belt offered through the Corner. I am happy to say that I re- ceived two belts in reply. I am taking the liberty of sending the extra one to poor woman who is sadly in need of 1t. The doctor said she ought to have had one over year ago. Women in her circum- stances have to do cruelty hard work. That is why they are so often in bad health. It was most kind in the member who sent the belts They are just what was neededs thank God and bless the Corner for the good work it is doing and wish it all success. K. w."
 We are in turn your grateful debtors for the cheering news you give us. You are altogether right to bestow the belts according to your judgement.

Ants in the Refriberator

Can you help me free my house of large black ants? They live in the walls of the refrigerator, and come into the provision chamber through the crevices where the lines of the wall join. The refrigerator is of high grade white en- amel, on heavy steel Things. I have placed tins containing coal oil under each castor This should prevent them from coming in from the outside but those in the walls seem to continue there. What can be done to drive them out and also get rid of them entirely? They seem to have nests there hidden away.
 "J. H."
 Mix cents worth of tartar emetic in an equal amount of sugar, and place where the ants are troublesome. Keep it quite moist with water. As it is pois- onous, keep it out of the reach of chill dren and pet animals. Scatter whole cloves. Wash the inner walls with strong red pepper tea and rub the outer with turpentine soap, repeating weekly. Borax mixed with powdered sugar may help you to get rid of the pests.
