Removing Ink Stains.

To remove ink stains from either
brass or copper a very simple remedy
is required, but It is well worth know
ing. as otherwise ink split on brass or
copper inkstands and left to dry is
trouble to remove. Simply pour q few
drops of fresh ink on the old stains
and rub with a piece of rag, when the
old stain will disappear quite easily

ONE MEAL A DAY FOR DOGS.
Owner of White Mountain Dog Team
Says They Are Pampered.


Most pet dogs are pampered and fed
too much, according to Arthur T. Wal
den OF Nonalacet, owner Of the first dog
team that ever travelled White Noun
tam trails. Walden declared in an IN
tervlew recently that no canine house
hold pet ought to be fed more than once
day. 1t isn't good for them, he as
serted
To prove his assertions he pointed to his
hne team OF six dogs that took a Post
stan reporter on the first trip ever made
over the White Mountains in a dog
sleigh. And the six animals that carried
the Post man over trails that have never
before been covered in winter except on
snowshoes appeared to prove Mr. Wal
den contentious. His dog team, that
was the talk of the mountains, are now
all two years old and none of them has
ever had more than one meal day. In
winter they are not given any water,
getting all their liquid refreshments
by eating snow. It's better for them
they like it better"
Seated before the big fireplace at the
Mt. Madison House here, he told why
many household dogs die at an early age.
Walden formerly was in Alaska and once
'''AASA IAAC tL"Nh Jug team Oh the COuH-
try, one featured in Jack London's stor-
les.
Most dogs are pampered too much"
he declared, "and it makes them poor
animals. A dog is naturally a hardy
beast and is intelligent, too. A dog
doesn't need more than one meal day,
and when they are given more they are
overfed and it hurts them. If they
weren't fed so much they would live
longer.
MANY people have an idea that to
have a dog team to enjoy riding behind
in winter it is necessary to have north
ern dogs. 1t isn't so. Any sort of a
dog, almost-a setter or any fairsized, or
binary specie of dog-can successfully be
trained to winter dog sleigh work. There
is no reason why these White Mountains
in winter can't literally be filled with
dog teams. 1t is not hard to train them,
or a lengthy procedure, if one goes about
it properly. A dog can be trained to run
in week or two, with the leader nat
urally taking more time, for he has to
know how to obey the commands of gee
and 'haw' as the rest of the team follow
him. Boston Post,

1.-The business and other institutions
of the United States of America are
run by not more than 2 per cent of

Helene's Married Life By May Christie Copyright Syndicate

Alice Anstruther sat in the driver S

 "That idiot of nurse had to go up to town this morning on some urgent business" She made little face. q
 drove her to the railway station and called on the way home for you, Helene. Remember your promise
 about nursings our invalid. Jump in, dear. You really are friend in need"
 She scarcely looked at Travis Lloyd, i beyond a rather chilly bow. He seem ed disappointed that our walk home should be so summarly curtailed. But f of course he couldn't raise objections when my mission was charitable one.
 l thanked him for his hospitality, and drove away with Alice. That en- terprising young woman had already collected my baggage and borne it off from Thorny Grange. 1t occupied q portion of the back seat of the car. | In short time we reached our destination. We' partook of lunch.
 And then Alice, without further par Hey, led me upstairs to the sick man $
 room.
 She paused on the threshold.
 "l couldn't possibly go in," said
 she, shivering daintily; ''l'rn just ter rihed of illness. But you're so strong
 minded and self-reliant, Helene. You won't be frightened if he gets bit delirious? l don't think he gets vio- lent---but of course in brain case
 one never knows!" She made little face. "Of course the nurse will be
 back tonight, so you needn't worry.'

 The Board of Agriculture as part of a general scheme originating in the brain of Lloyd George, recently bought 68,OO0 acres of good, arabic land which will be cut up into small holdings and divided among 12,000 former soldiers whose claims have been approved by various County Councils. Another phase of the general scheme is in operation at Amesbury Wiltshire. Here part of 25OO acres of land will be turned into small market gardens, averaging 12 acres l in extent, each of these gardens be ing allotted to service man whe i will take up the holdings on Lady day.

 When he caught sight of me his whole face seemed to light up. But unlike Tony---he volunteered neither off side by side.
 It was frosty morning. The hedge rows held glittering mass of rlny diamonds. We walked along the hard country roads, breathing in the glorious air. It was difficult to think of treachery and love intrigues --on an enchanted day like this.
 ''I can't help feeling happy-and-- optimistic" I remarked, when we had walked a quarter of mile.
 Travis Lloyd smiled.
 "Of course not" he said quietly ""You have everything in the world to make you happy" Then he added, in an almost inaadihle tone:
 And everything in the. world to make man happy, too."
 We were rather silent, then, until the church was reached.
 The service was a~quiet and sooth- ing one. The choir boys voices seem ed to hold bcnediction. And the sermon braced me up miraculously.
 As we emerged from the ivy-cover- ed porch and walked down the messy path to the church gate we spied q motor car drawn up Ill the roadside
