Ladies, are you doing your trading at home? I don't mean all of it but so much of it as you can, writes Richard A. Haste in a recent magazine. Be fore you send to the city are you glv Ingp'our home merchant a chance to sell to you or to send and get what you want? You waut this merchant's -help to make your home town a better place to live in. Now and then you "want a donation of S5. $10 or $25 for a worthy purpose; It may be thp build ing of a church or the establishaent of a hospitai or it may be the parking of a street. Are you .doing all in your power to help this merchant in his business so that he may be able to give to these worthy objects? Are you advising your friends to trade at bo'me. even if you can save a dime by sendiug away? Or do you belong to a soap club and get your teas, your sugar, your coffee and a thousand other things sent you by mail and express? Hf ve you a collection of catalogues in your house to which you go when you want a rug or a piece of furni ture? Are you a "premium fiend?" Are you always trying to get some thing for nothing? You will never get it But that does not matter. While you are trying you are the worst possible enemy your own community has. You are false to your first civic duty. And all that you may do toward the im provement of your home town will be futile as long as the lifeblood is being drawn away. FOR A BETTER AMERICA. What a County Can Do For Its Court house. Although public spirit for public wel fare may be as earnest in the heart of the country dweller as in that of the citizen of the large town, there are fewer possibilities for its manifesta tion. One of the first opportunities open to the residents of a county, says the May Deliueator, is to see that the courthouse is a dignified, beautiful building. The county courthouse represents the seat of government It stands for authority, for justice and for wise ad ministration of the laws which the people have themselves enacted. It Is fitting that it should be the best build ing the county can afford. A pretty custom is to place the courthouse in the center of a large square, shaded by trees and made beautiful with beds of flowers. Benches along the walks af ford a resting and meeting place for visitors to the town, while fountains and hitching posts should be placed along the edges. MaDy counties have made their court houses objects of public interest with excellent results. To Improve a Forbidding Spot. If you have any eyesore in your town, take a hint from what Chicago inteuds to do In one of its districts. The triangular space sjt Twentieth street and Archer avenue, about as forbidding a locality as can be found, being one of the entrances to the red light district, is to be' improved this year by the special parks commission. It will be cleaned of rubbish, spaded up, sodded and au iron fence built around it. Brick posts at the corners and the gateway will be surmounted by flowerpots, and flower beds will be placed in the park. There will be a drinking fountain for men and horses ou one side and a spray fountain in the center. Altogether, according to the plans of Superintendent John AI gets, the triangular strip promises t< be-one of the most attractive little parks in the city. There is a Pink Plain Tablet made by Dr. Shoop. that will positively stop any pain, anywhere, in 30 minutes. Druggist everywhere sell them as Dr. Shoop's Headache Taolets, but they stop oilier pains as easily as ad aclio. Dr. Shoop? Pink Pain Tablets simply coax blood pressure away from pain centers; that is all. Pain -omes from h'ood pressure; congestion. Stop thai, pressure with Dr. Shoop's Head ache Tvhlets and pain is ins antly gone. 20 Tablet 23c. Sold by Dr. J. G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co. WHAT JOCK DOES. Wonderful Cog Th.-.t Drives Children Frcm Trolle y Tracks. The name of Lie C g seen in the p' ftire is Joe!:. a:;d b.-'s a graut big St Bernard. Jcx 1; waa present '?nce when a little child was ta*:en frc.a und'-:* the cruel wheels and Lua:.:fes:;?d the liveliest in terest i.i the occur, ence. Ever since jock t;::viNO tue children. that day, whenever he has been able to stand sentinel, Jock takes good care that no children shall play in the street if a trolley car be In sight At the sound of the gong the dog plunges into the street and drives the children to the safety of the pavement and has even been known on several occasions to pick up a smaller child with his strong jaws and quietly deposit it out of harm's way.. The animal is a splen did specimen, and it is not to be won dered at that he is the most popular resident of the street. A Funny Gsme. Have a sheet or screen so placed that shadows may be cast upon it Facing it have one of the players sit ting in such a position that he can see only the screen, not anything that is going on behind him. This player is called "the watchman." Now, behind the watchman and at such a distance that there is space for a person to walk' between the watchman and the light place a candle. The object of the game Is for the watchman to guess from the shadows cast who is passing behind him. The players, going one by one. may disguise themselves by limping, bow ing the head or wearing a hat. but gen erally the watchmau. if he is discern ing, may detect the player by some pe culiarity. For every one he guesses correctly a forfeit mr. t be paid by the one discovered. A Cut Card Puzzle. On a piece qf stiff cardboard draw a block letter, say S. as in the diagram, and cut it clean out Having put clew lines at the back, divide the remainder of the card into pieces, as suggested. The puzzle is to put them together within a time limit Little Things. Springs are little things, but they are the sources from which large streams flow. A smile is a little thing, a mere trifle, yet how much has been accom plished on accouut of a smile at the* proper time and bow much happiness lost by a little thing as a pout or a frown! Great wars have been won by the attention paid to the little things concerning the soldiers and their neces sities. Little grains of sand make the vast beaches, and the huge mountains are made up of these trifles. Remember, children, that there Is nothing too trifling to demand your at tention, and when you give anything your attention be sure to give it un divided. Every beginning Is n little thing. Mind the little things. News Notes. [From the Springville Breeze.] We're pleased to state that Mr. Wren And wife are back and at the EaveB. The Robins occupy again Their summer home at Maple Leaves.

Thi- is uot i's'elf a polish. ln:t is .0 prepaid tbe wood for the bhiue. A flocr should never be waxed with out fir:: du>'.ing and removing any spots, if the wood it> faded in places rubbing \y"l!i a preparaiion of seven ounces of boiled linseed oil and one dunce of alcohol will help to bring back the color, but lue application must be made many times and rubbed thoroughly. Grease spots, of course, will come out with an application of good soapy water, but this wash must be well taken off at once, as soap de stroys the gloss finish. When such a stain is well dried rub the spot with the iinseed oil mixture given above be fore waxing. Waxing a soft or stained floor is a particular piece of work that depends much for success upon the quickness with which it is done. The wax should be melted n a warm bath and a flan nel cloth used to put it on. The ap plication should be rubbed in, a little at a time, and worked rapidly and hard to get it spread evenly over the surface before hardening or absorption begins. Polish again with a dry flan nel. The whole floor should be gone over in sections, rubbing with the grain of the wood. It will be well to finish at the door, so that one may leave the room without walking through it and leaving tracks. A soft floor stained should not be stepped on for twenty-four hours. A wax finished floor should never be washed, the cleaning consisting of dusting first and when necessary wip ing with a flannel cloth wrung In tur pentine. Waxing should be done im mediately afterward. One part of the floor may be waxed without doing all by polishing the spot, afterward rub bing, especially at the edges, until the color goes into that already there. How to Clean Walls. Burlaped or papered walls may be brushed with a new broom covered with a hood of cheesecloth, which must be removed and shaken when dusty. Breadcrumbs and a pencil era ser will remove many ugly nn'.rks from wall paper. Magnesia often removes grease marks. A weak solution of borax and water will remove the greasy black stains that mar delicate wood or paints. Use keroseue in the water when wiping varnished wood work. No 'difference bow good a fur niture polish yon use, always rub off every particle of grease with dry cloths or it will accumulate dust, und tho dust is more difficult to remove than the grease.
