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.

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."

.'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

Ms.cl.aren, were you at the kirk on
Sunday" "Oh. tye.'" she said, "I
