HOW TO WASH MIRRORS.
Soft Rag Dipped in Alcohol Will Keep
Them In Condition
8ome personH have n difficulty In
keeping mlrrora In proper condition,
bnt a soft rag dipped In alcohol and
wiped over the glass, that Ik after-
wards rubbed dry. Is all that Is neces-
sary when the mirror appears dlui or
spotted.
For this purpose cheese cloth Is
best.
When spots appear at the back of
the mirror on the quicksilver It Is gen-
erally for the reason that the glass Is
hung where a strong sunlight can rest
upon It. At first tiny specks no larger
than pin points make their nppear-
ance, then they spread, becoming
larger and finally meet In a cloudy ef-
fect which cannot be remedied except
by a repetition of the quicksilvering
process.
Damp walls are another source of
damage to mirrors, for they, too, de-
stroy tho quicksilver.
Frames can bo kept In good condi-
tion by wiping often with a soft rag.
If tho frame Is a good quality of glid-
ing It may be washed with soap and
water when necessar1-. but the cheap-
er, ordinary gilt ,'inmes should never
botouched with water. When they begin
to blacken a rag moistened lightly
with turpentlue will usually restore
the Billing.
THE TIME TEST.
TO REMOVE 8POTS FROM SILK.
Combination of Gasoline and Talcum
Powder Effective.
It Is said that spots on silk can be
cleansed with gasollno and no mark
will bo left If the dampened spots are
covered with talcum powder and
brushed when perfectly dry. One
might make the experiment on a piece
of cloth, for It Is always best to un-
derstand cleaning methods before risk
lng the art on flue material. One thing
is quite certain: Fuller's earth If
sprinkled over greaso marks on deli-
cate silk will clean the blemishes and
leave no marks. It should be allowed
to remain on the material for several
hours.
A «ood way to clean a not or lace
waist Is to put it in a heavy pillow
case and sprinkle It quite lavishly
with flour and cornmeal. Take tho
bag Into the yard and shake it vigor-
ously, but not enough to Injure the
lace. It .can be left in the bag for
several days. Take out the waist
and shake free from dirt and flour mix-
ture. In most cases the waist will
not only be perfectly clean, but the
lace will be light and fluffy looking.
Furs can bo cleaned In the same
manner if they aro of light color,
though the dark ones will look better
If cleaned by a hot cornmeal process.
Potato Scones.
Sift a cupful and a half of flour with
a half teaspoonful of salt and two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder and
rub in three tablespoonfuls of short-
ening. Add one cupful of light fresh
ly mashed potatoes, add one well-beat-
en egg and enough milk to make a
soft dough. Itoll out half Inch thick,
cut and bake on a hot griddle or In a
hot oven. Servo very hot with plenty
of butter.
Citron Preterves.
Pare, weigh and scald with a pieco
of alum, tho slzo of a walnut, In
water, one large citron. Boll until
sufficiently tender to pierce with a
straw, slice and remove the seeds.
Add Its weight In sugar and allow
to staud thus over night.
Iloll half an hour with a pinch of
mace and two lemons sliced.
Bottle while hot.
Apple Pancakes,
Mix one pint of sour milk, one tea-
spoonful of saleratus, one cupful of
Indian meal, one cupful of molasses,
three swe«t apples cut flue and suf-
ficient flour to thicken.
Fry In deep boiling lard and serve
hot with cinnamon (powdered) and
pulverized sugar mixed.
To Clean Wood.
If your kitchen table or your bread
board Is discolored, and scrubbing
with soap does not whiten It, take a
piece of bath brick, wash the board
with hot soapy water, and then rub
It thickly with the bath brick. Then
use a good scrub brush and more hot
water, give a thorough scrubbing,
rinse it In clean water, nnd If possible
put it out in the sunlight to dry. Fine
sand used Instead of a bath brick
will usually, In conjunction with soap
and water, remove the obstinate
stalna.
Home-Made Fire Extinguisher.
Take five pounds of common salt
awl two and ono-half pounds of mu-
riate of ammonia and dissolve In two
gallon* of water. When well dissolved
fill Into bottles or fruit Jars that will
not be difficult to break when needed
In an emergency. Especially keep a
good supply in the kitchen. In case
of fire immediately throw one or two
bottles Into the blaze with enough
force to break them and well scatter
the content*. Tli* fir* will surely be

—Eczema Yielded to Cuticura.
"I had eczema for over two years.
1 had two physicians, but they only
gave me relief for a short time and I
cannot enumernto the ointments and
lotions I used to no purpose. My ank-
les were one mass of sores. The Itch-
ing nnd burning were so intense that
I could not sleep. 1 could not walk for
nearly four months. One day my hus-
band said I had better try the Cuticura
Remedies. After using them three
times I had the best night's rest In
months unless I took an opiate. I
used one set of Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment, and Pills, and my ankles healed
In a short time. It is now a year since
I used Cuticura, and there has been no
return of the eczema. Mrs. David

Dr. C. F. Simmons, San Antonio, Texas:
Dear Sir- 1 i. ive just returned from a trip over your Atapcosa County
property, and to fay tli.it 1 am nurprised ut what I saw, but fairly expresses
my feelings. 1 hud expected something pretty good, because 1 have consid-
erable faith in your agents, whom 1 happen to know; but what I saw is far
beyond my expectation.
I drove hurriedly over probably twenty-five miles of ground, passing sev-
eral of your flowing wells and tanks, and I don't believe that there is an
acre of ground that is not ht for iintt cla^M cultivation.
Upon my return to I.ittle Kock 1 nKill take out several more share*
before they arc gone, and will advise my friends all to take as many as they
can afford.
1 have just written to my brother in Indiana, advising him to do this on
my judgment.
1 certainly think your proposition i« cne of tho most libernl proposition#
I have ever seen offered, and I certainly think that the people o( South Texas
will owe to you an everlasting debt of gratitude for the method you are
using to settle this veritable garden of Kden with new people.
I thank you for the courtesies extended me on my recent visit, and I
trust the time will not be long when the division will occur, and I certainly
shall return to Little Hock figuring on eventually coming back to .\tas003a
County. Yours very truly, E. A. KIXGSLKY,

When you need a medicine for women's ills, we urge you earnestly to take Car-
dui. Cardui Is a woman's medicine. It is not for men, but only for such women as
suffer from the ills peculiar to women. Therefore, you should take(
Wine of Cardui
if sick, because it has helped others who suffered as you do. Mrs. Bettie Arp, of
Menlo, Ga., writes: "1 was troubled with female complaint for twelve months. The
doctors treated me, but did me little good, so I took Cardui, and it saved my life."
