Things to Keep i'm the House, Suggested
by College Teacher.

The woman who lives in the country
NAV not have the things she needs when
sudden sickness comes to the house. The
MOrriSsey. home economics nursing ex-
pert at the University of Wisconsin, may
helm. she says:
salt or sandbags. jars of hot water or
a flannel heated in the oven may be used
in place of hot-water bag. Bandages
made from worn sheet will be very use
full in the home where there are children.
when feeding cup is not available
small cream pitcher is an excellent
thing to use in giving fluids to very ill
patients.
1.-THE medicine cupboard should con
tain a mouth wash. disinfectant. cathar
tie, zinc ointment and alcohol. This cup
board should be kept out of the reach of
children and each medicine should be
labeled. Never give a drug which is not
plainly labeled, and always measure the
dose accurately. Do not let old medicines
collect in the homes. They are dangerous
tions without saying what the medicine is
for.
I'm case of Group, keep the air in the
room moist. This may be done by letting
a teakettle boil in the room. A Group
tent. which is made by draping a sheet
or blanket over the crib, supported at the
head by clothes bars. may be used
"PoulticeS are a frequent home rem
edy. The poultice should be kept hot.
A hot-water bag laid over the poultice
will help it to retain its heat. To pre-
vent burning with mustard plaster, mix
in proportion of one teaspoon of mustard
to three of -four. Use half the quantity
of mustard for a child"

Darning is made into d pleasant &C.
cupation, it is claimed, when done with
a device recently introduced in Eng
land. The little darning machine con-
sfsts of a fat stretcher which is placed
behind the heel in the stocking, and
over which is slipped saddle that
holds the stocking in place. The thread
is wound back and forth over the hole
on hooks on this saddle. A third piece,
hinged on the saddle, hooks under
every other thread and raises or de-
presses them alternately while
threaded needle is passed back and
forth between them. as in weaving.

await the outcome of her mothers in

She says her father and mother were
married in Pittsburgh, \. y, - years
ago, and returned at once to Johnson,

During her absence in the hospital,

another woman to the GarrowS', ask

ALBERT C. ANDERSON
FOR CONGRESS.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Eagle will be seen the announce
ment of Hon. Albert C. Anderson
for Congress from this the second
district of Mississippi. Mr.. Ander-
son was a candidate for the same
office two years ago, but was de-
feated by Mr.. Lowrey by small
margin.
Mr.. Anderson enters the race with
a clean record and with a determina-
ton to win. He is a clean, clever
man, a gentleman who would do
honor to the halls of Congress.
In making his announcement in
the Sentinel last week, he says:
GAS announced through the press
some weeks ago | am a candidate
for congress from the second district
of Mississippi, subject to the action
of the Democratic party in the prl-
mary election to be held on Tuesday,
august Is, 1922. At the proper time
tIexpect to go before the people of
the district and publicly discuss
with them the issues of the cam
paign. In seeking this position am
seeking the opportunity to serve the
masses of the people according to
the standard Of Democracy as set
up by Thomas jefferson. to see that
equal and exact justice is accorded
to all and that special privileges
are given to none.
"There has never been a time in
the history of this republic when
special interests were demanding
more from the government and en-
croaching more upon the liberties OF
the people than they are today.
There has never been time when
we so much needed to get back to
sane and wise policy of economy, to
eliminate waste and graft and ex-
travagance and relieve the people
from the burden of taxation that is
pressing down upon them. There
has never been time when it was
more important for men and women
to exercise with courage and intelll-
gence the right to vote, for if this
republic shall live and fulfill the
dream of its fathers and the pur-
pose of it's founders it must be safe
guarded from the decaying influences
of selfish interests and kept upon
high ground by the free exercise of
the ballot in the hands of the honest,
intelligent and unselfish masses of
the people. There is nothing more
important in the economy of free
government than to see that the bal
lot is kept sacred and free from
faint and corruption and that every
man and every woman qualified un-
der the law to exercise the right of
suffrage shall be heard at the bal
lot box in ain honest expression of
choice.
81 shall greatly appreciate any
favorable consideration given my
candidacy and if elected to congress
I shall devote my time and energy
without reservation to the service OF
the people.
Faithfully yours,
"a. C. ANDERSON"
