Items of Interest TO THK La DIES, "PIIRNISIIKD BY OUR CoRRESIONDliNT. A HOUSEHOLD LABORATORY. The Lemon aand Its Uses TH E KlTCII EN AND THE , Boudoir. IN Citric acid is the crystalized product of lemon juice obtained by evaporation. It is made in countries where lemons are so cheap that 'they're bought by the ton instead of the dozen Buy a pound or so of this citric aed, put it away in 30111- cup board laboratory, and you've maae one or the best 'household investments. Dissolve four ounces of citric acid in- three pints of . water. To this add eight or ten drops essential oil of lemon, dissolve in one-half ounce of tincture of lemon peel. A dram or two of the essential oil can be obtained from your druggist for live cents. Direc tions for making the tincture are given below. ! ; The mixture just described is artificial lemon juice, every bit as good as if squeezed from fresh lemons. This artificial , juice should be bottled, stop pered tightly and kept in a cool place. Whenever you want lemonade, add 'a tablespoonful of the mixture to a glass of wa ter, sweeten to taste, and there you are genuine lemonade, healthful, wonderfully cheap and prepared without exertion. Citric acid is a household wonder worker in many other ways. The aboyve mixture, even with the tincture and essential oil left out, will remove ink and many other chemical stains from the skin. Use it stlsof to sponge fruit and other Ltains from linen... ! Troubled with freckles, sun- 1 Here s an easy form of treatment : Dissolve 15 or 20 grains of borax and 30 grains of sugar candy in two tablespoonfuls of artificial lem on juice, j Sponge the afflicted skin freely and frequently and the result will bo softer, fairer complexion. The lemon lotion is an old-fashioned, but effica cious favorite w our English cousihs. The tincture of lemon peel is made by grating or cutting fine an ounce of fresh lemon peel and pouring . over , it four ounces of alcohol. Let this stand for a week, shaking two or three times a day, and then filter through filter paper. Tinc ture of orange peel is made by using orauge peel in the same proportion. ' Now, when the tincture of orange peel is ready, dissolve six drops of essential oil of orange peel in one-half ounce of the tincture, and add to a solu tion of one ounce of citric acid in two pints of water; Here you have artificial orange juice and a genuinely liealtny ana re freshing drink. It is to be used in the same way as the artifi cial lemon, juice, though you may prefer to use a little more than a tablespoonful of it to each glass of water. Truly it is a matter of taste. Tincture of benzoin is an old acquaintance with many women, and should be with all. isreaK. up an ounce of gum benzoin in very small piece, pour over it foiir or five ounces of alcohol, and proceed after that just is with the foregoing tinctures; This .tincture of benzoin is more than useful in a great many ways. A few drops poured into a basin of water when washing the face and hands . produces a LULUilJ very interesting effect . A lotion j taken out of tU pores of an ap that takes away the shine and j parently cleaiiroce will be the frrease" from an oily skin is made by adding a teaspooiiful of tincture of benzoin to fifteen teaspoonfuls of soft water and shaking thoroughly.. "Sop" this well into the skin with a soft linen rag and allow to dry on. -A- ueuciiit; linn jxirtakes faintly of the odor : of vanilla and ot mignonette 1111-o-ers on the skin when so treat ed. The cheap but splendid lo tion is sold by French perfum ers under the fanciful name of lait virginal. When there is "fever" taste, or any other dis agreeable taste in the mouth add twelve or fifteen, drops tincture of benzoin to half a gob let of water and rinse the mouth but do not swallow the mixture. It's surnrisine: how refreshed , x r r -. the mouth feels afterward. Let me say a word right here about the kind of water to use on a delicate complexion. Hy drant water is seldom, if ever, fit for bathing a delicate com plexion. Catch rain water in glass or crockery dishes, filter and bottle, ' Use this wrater both fpr bathing the face and making Jotidns. Rain water is nature's' own kind of distilled water. If you can't wait for rain water, however, at least boil the hydrant water and filter it when cool. .; , - Lanolin, while not a house hold chemical in the housekeep ing . sense, "should, have a place in every cupboard cupboard laboratory. It is the German method of preparing wool fat as an' unguent. To be sure it is rather expensive. Al- bolene, the pharmacal name ap plied to Russian wool fat, costs less, . and is also . valuable for softening and cleaning the skin.' Bicyclists and all others, who are exposed to the risk of sun burn or tan in the summer can present it by rubbing on either of these unguents before expos ing hands and face to the sun. It should be rubbed ' well into the pores and then patted off with a towel. i A little powder applied oyer this and the user is readj- to defy : the blistering effect of the summer sun. On returning liome, if the face is bathed in warm water, and then the unguent and powder again applied, the effect is complete and the complexion is not only saved but vastly improved. Even better results are ob tained if the lanolin or albolene are employed in making a sim ple and delicious cold cream in the following manner : Take of either lanolin or albolene ten ounces and melt by slow heat with an ounce of spermaceti oi white wax. Japanese wax which is much cheaper than either the spermaceti or white wax. may be used instead, if preferred. Wlieir the mixture is melted add an ounce of oil of sweet almonds. Now, re move front the heat and stir un til cool. Don'rforget this latter direction or you will have a "lump3r' ' cold cream . A little perfume poured into the mix ture just before it cools will scent the cream nicely, though it neither hurts;, nor improves its qualities. The . reader who does not care to prepare this fi-eam at home will do well to set her druggist to make. it for her on the recipe here given. Of all the scores of cold cream formulas published many of them worthless, ; or impossible of easy preparation the, above is the daintiest and most - satis factory, .and has high medical indorsement. . , It is only of late' that cold, cream has been estimated at its full value. Its use should be kept up the year around, and when this done a fine complex ion will be the graduatlw.it sure result . After applying, and be fore going out of doors one of the many excellent powders on the market should be applied. Otherwise dust is sure to adhere to thecream and requisite that stands alone in its class. It is not a substitute for other toilet preparations, and its user does not need to discontinue any other toilet preparation that has proven beneficial. If you would form accurate idea' Of. the cleansing power of cold cream, apply it to the face rub it well in, and then remove by scraping off with a paper knife. The amount of dirt thus j convincincr argument pos- dble. With all the hints here given tor starting a household labora tory there is likely to be trouble and confusion in store for the ! rcacler who does not take the trouble to label each bottle or package.

He is married and lives near Magee's church. While he cannot be said to see; he cn distinguish a road from the woods by the light along the former, and by means of a stick often goes from place to place alone. He was going along the road near . Magee's church Friday morning soon after sunrise, when he heard a rustling in the leaves near him Instantly he was? felled to . the ground by a terrible blow.

The neighborhood was aroused and turned out iir search of the villain. A neat barefoot track was found where 'the assault was made. A strong suspicion rested upon a young white 'man in the neighborhood, who, when questioned, could not give a satisfactory account of himself on that morning'. Back of tin are rumors of a scandal No arrest has been made yet,! but one is likely to . follow in the near future. The good peo ple of the neighborhood are , in dignant and will ferret out the guilty party and see that he gets justice. MrV Royal is recover ing and is now; thought to be out of danger.

Lease last night hoarded the Santa Fe train here for Atchison, where she had a lecture date, says the Topeka State Journal. She found the car crowded the only vacant seat being by the side of a Chi cago traveling man. Of course the traveling man moved his big grips and nnule room for ier. This brought from the "uncrowned queen of the Kan sas prairies" a "Thank you" and a plesant smile. The ice-thus broken, the trav eling mail proceeded to make himself agreeable. One word brought on another, and the traveling man soon got far eYiough along in .the conversa tion to ask Mrs. Lease where she lived. "At Wichita," she replied. "111!, Wichita," said the traveling man. "I suppose you know the famous Mary Ellen ?" "I know her quite wbll." "She's a' great old girl. I'd like to meet her." There was a mrry twinkle in Mrs Lease's eye. She saw some fun ahead. The traveling masn continued : "I learned a good deal about Mrs Lease through a Topeka friend of 'mine, who was her attorney Hagan Eugene Ha- gan that my friend s uanie- defended her the time Lewell ing tried to remove her from the board of charities. Hagan said she was a. great fighter, but notwithstanding her reputation as a crank, was a very easy cli ent to get along with. Hagan said she paid him his fee of $500 without question and he thought she would have paid $1,000 just as willingly. She is the first woman I ever heard of who wouldn't quarrel about a. bill that is, if she had to pay it her self." ' . Mrs. Lease beamed upon the traveling man and said she, $ heard the subject of the chat was that kind of a woman. "What sort of a fajnily litis she?" asked the traveling man. ' ; "She has a number of very bright children," Mrs. Lease re nlied : "two boys- and a girl 1 ' The elder boy is grown. 5 "Is her husband living? "Yes; he is a druggist. "He must be a queer kind of a man." . "Why?" ' "Well, Mrs. Lease is bright and famous and' all that, but she's such a curiosity that 1 should think a man would hate to live with her." Mrs. Lease bit her lip. "He has maifaged to stand it a good while- nearly a quarter, ot ai century," she said: "There's no accounting for tastes in. this world," the trav eling man remarked. W. F. Guthrie, the; Atchison attorney, who was sitting across the aisle and had heard the con versation, could contain hmiself no longer, so he roared. Then Mrs. Lease laughed and handed the traveling man her card.. "Nortonvill.e !" ' tlie brake nian called out. - "I must get off here," said the traveling nian, and, grab bing his grips, he made a dash for the door. He left the train at jXortonville, but "Dad" Griffith; the roncTuctor, said his ticket read St. Joseph. Mr A. C. Wolfe, of Dundee.

Advertising is an interesting and important department of business. So generally is it practiced in the world of com merce that. we are forced to re-. gard it 1 as one of the great 011- factors in developing and iarging traue. nusiness inen point to ias one of the potent agencies of prosperity, ami ar range their ail vertisements as carefully as any part of their business. We have only to look into it a little -to see how natural it is that trade, and therefore prosperity sliould come iTin individual adver tising. In the first place, when one goes into business lie must mako .the fact known more widely than in the circle of friends and - acquaintances, whom he can reach by word of moil th. He should also spread the news beyond the company of passeirs by. who may chance to read the sign over his door. Signboards are good advertise ments, but do not reach far enough Trade comes from the multitude. Here and there in the crowd arc the individuals who will deal with you in your particular line of business. Un less the -multitude knows that one is in business, the select company will not come to trade. The necessity of reaching the general public at once suggests the newspaper as the most ef ficient means to that end. Tlie newspaper is a messenger that runs all over the land visiting people far and -near, and con veying to them whatever t news and notices have been printed on its pages; By this agency one can in a very short time, and at. little cost, inform the public of his business and se cure patronage that otherwise would never reach him. Again, it is not only necessary to let the people know about one's business, but also to en list their interest in the stock in hand. Many 'people who know vou are dealing in a cer tain line of goods will never think of buying until they be come interested in some articles you have in stocks This interest cau only Come from seeing or learning abotit these articles. The opportunity must in some way be given for them to see how abolit your stock if you are to get their interest and their trade. Consider the" agent' who calls at a house and is inform ed thixt his goods are not re quired. v Does lie", usually pass quietly on his way? Not if he is a man of business. With polite suavity, he insists upon showing his stock, and readily takes any amount of pains to exhibit-everything. Why docs i lie goo this trouble when his goods are not ..wanted? It is because sense and experience teach -him that when people see or know about certain articles and their value, price etc., they discover that they need those I J which otherwise he would en tirelv miss. The merchant de coilie to buy unless they know something about his stock. It is then a part of his business to attract them to his store Jand arouse their interest in his goods. The best way to do j this is to advertise. lell the I . m a j people by the paer what you j bave and how.-you sell. Use . otxcr means as much as ios- silde, but always remember that by advertising in the paper you will reach the greatest num- !ber at the least cost. "A word to the wise is sufficient."
