Splitting Ashes and Garbage About
Streets

Mr.. Editor: May we ask IL the city
pays for the collecting of garbage or
for the distributing of it along the
streets On nearly every street you
will find ashes, tin cans and house
hold refuse spilled when the barrels
are emptied. Are not the men sup
posed to clean this up? 1t certainly
gives a poor appearance to the street
to find refuse scattered the length OF
it. On windy days. for lack Of COW
ering for the carts. ashes and papers
are scattered in every direction.
A travelling man short time ago In
passing a cart on one of our business
streets received a baptism of ashes
which called forth remarks not COM
plimentary to the driver, when in fact
the man higher up should be blamed

A LABOR SAVER,

If mother has several small boys
this plan is a god time saver. When
making trousers insert loops of round
white cord such as is used in corsets,
instead of working buttonholes in
wristbands, and leave the facing wide
enough to turn back; insert the loops
and stitch down with the extra width
This serves for buttonholes and takes
much less time

SOME NEW-oLD FABRICS.

A revival of long unused fabrics is
taking place, partly because of the diff
ficulty of obtaining certain lines of &C
cepted up-to-date materials and also
because of the revival of old-time
fashions. Mohair and brilliantine both
possess a resilient quality desirable

plements are required: A good file,
a pair of cuticle scissors, an emory
board, an orange stick, a polisher
and a small pot of some good polish.
To manicure the nails, first file them,
then soften the tops of the fingers and
the cuticle by holding them in very
hot, soapy water for five or ten him
utes. Rub on a little grease all over
the finger tips, then clear out the
nails. Push back the cuticle with
your orange stick-this should be
1one when the cuticle is soft. Pol
lsh with a polisher when the cream
has been added. Dark, ugly stains
left on the hands after pairing pota-
toes, fruit, or other vegetables take
weeks to wear off unless properly
treated at the time. These stains
should be removed before bringing the
hands in contact with soap or soapy
| water, because the latter imbeds the
stains in the skin in such a way that
they cannot be banished afterwards
Lemon, vinegar, or sour milk will take
| stains away. Always rinse off all soar
when you use soap and water and
thoroughly dry the skin.
