H. Van Btten. PUBLISHER. It If the concealed troth, or the half troth, which often works more harm than the here fuct. An article i in the Dispatch in a recent ssue enumerating the office captured by the ro;'nbliefln In Mllford Boro says, ' tb.9 democrats lost all bot collector, , aud the article Is being copied in uear by papers. One would think from reading it mat tno democrats '.won out on that office, when the fact is they did nothing of the kind. The republicans, who held their caucus before the democrats held theirs, nom inated J. F. Terwilligvr, democrat, for tax collector, because he makes a good collector and the republicans were uotso imbued with partisanship as to be blind to the best Interests of the town. The democrats at their cauens indorsed the nomination, hence Si was the only candidute, but he knnW9 full well olean down to the bottom of his boots that bad the re . publicans pot up another man he wnnlil have gene the way the rest f h's ticket, and probably by a large majority. We only cite the above utilmportaat matter to show that a frank statement of the facts would been more to the credit of the Dis patch, than the attempted effort to show that the Democrats carried something is to them. At the election in Port Oervla Tues day the three propmitious to boy a building for municipal purposes to pave and oil the streets were carried by large mnrities. The voters de clared good sense in this effort to im prove conditions needed In tsyit city. The new trolley company In Port Jervia has a?ked for a franchise to run lines thru the streets of the city. It is proposed to build a tunnel under the Erie at Fowler street, come op King to Pike and then to tbe Barret bridge. It would seem that less ex pensive and more satisfactory way out of Port Jervls would be to go down East Main to Tri States and come down on 'he Jersey side, cross, sing the river at some point between there and Milford or even to cross the bridge here. The distance would be little mora and the road would run thru a section which would afford considerable traffic. Tha Foker Only. An old Scottish lady was belug closely cross-examined in court re maiding . cae oi assault, lu which bei hubanu was alleged to have played a conspicuous pare "And now, my good woman, toll tbt court what sort of weapon il was youi bubr.nd struck you with."

HERBST, Graduate in Pharmacy Some Uses ot Hot Water. Hot water is far more of a medici nal property than many believe or know. The uses of hot water are many. There Is nothing that so promptly cuts short congestion of the lungs, sore thrpat or rheuma tism as hot water iwtaen applied promptly and thoroughly. Head ache almost always yields to the simultaneous application of hot wate to the feet and back of the neck. A strip of flannel or napkin folded lengthwise and dipped in hot water, wrung out and then applied round the neck of a child that has the croup, will bring relief sometimes In ten minutes. Hot water taken free ly Jialf an hour before bedtime ts helpful in the case of constipation, hlle It has a most sootbing etrect upon the stomacn and ooweis. . goblet of hot water taken lust after rising, before breakfast, has cured many of indigestion, and is widely recommended by physicians to dys peptics. The Much-Used Kitchen Table. My sine covered kitchen table Is such a convenience to me that I want to describe it for the benefit of other workers. It Is so simple that any one can duplicate It at small ex pense. Take any ordinary table and carev-.' fully cover the surface with sheet ilnc, being careful to smoothly ad lust the edges. These should be urned under and securely tacked lowr. It is best to have the hard ware man do the work, unless there ts a "handy man about the house" who knows how to use a hammer with Judgment and precision. Once accomplished, you will won der how you ever got on without your alnc table. It is so easily clean ed I wash mine dally with soap and occasionally with a cloth dipped In kerosene to keep It polished. Hot 'Itsbes can be placed upon It with never a .bought of their burning through and spoiling the usual oil cloth. It Is a sanitary table, too, for It is so scrupulously clean. Try These Useful Hints. Burn dried orange peel through out the house frequently, It purifies the atmosphere, dispels any musty odors and leaves a dainty fragrance that nothing can surpass., Wblte clothes that have become yellow from ace may be restored by soaking la butter-milk for several days, changing the milk each day. . Never pour sugar over the whites of eggs while beating them, but add from the side of the platter, a little at tbe time, lu order not to break the air cells. An excellent remedy for sore throat Is pineapple syrup, taken a teaspoonful at the time. If a panful of lime Is kept In the closet with preserves and Jellies, It will prevent them from mouldug. Salt water will clean bamboo fur niture, Chinese and Indian matting and will prevent It from turning yel low. For Sweeping and Dusting. Remove chairs and all otber mov able articles out of tbe room,. Pour a little household ammonia iuto a basin of water; take an old news paper and, crumple In water; scatter the wet paper over carpet, then be gin to sweep. The wet paper col lects the dust. If you have a carpet sweeper, use sweeper first, then use broom. Car pets swept In this wsy have a nice alean look. Dust piano, table tops, etc., with an old piece of velvet; the dust clings to tbe nap. For other ar ticles use cheesecloth, as It Is soft and nice. When dusted in this way there Is no lint. A Little Previous A gypsy, upon release from Jail, met a friend. "What were you lu for." asked the friend. "I found" a horse." ' Found a horse? .onsense! They wouiau t jug you tor baaing a horse." "Well, but yon see I found bin tefors th over of. hi to." for any co-;. of sick roonU English ss She Is Uttered. 'What is the cabbace?" inquired the departint;' Vatron who r.islied to gb to the rail. ray station from the ho tel. 'What's tne wiinf?" exchilmea the clerk loalng hfs clutch on the perfect English he usually handed over the counter. . "What's the cabbsige? I said." "I kniiw yo.i did bat I do not quit got your meaning." 'Oh, you Uoii t? You know what rabbage Is, don't you?" "1 guer-e I've seen enough of It to know. .1 used to live In tbe suburbs of Chicago."

"Aw, say," he protested, "you ought to be plowed under! or fertilized, or something. Qibbuge Is cab tare, ain't It?" ' -' ' .'No ha'nc . for a Miracle. One day Dr. Norman McLeod, who was a large n l'nealtby man, and one of his burly .elders went to pay a visit to' a ctrtrin Mrs. MacLaren of the congregation, who lived In the Scotch ifl)ls.
