The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be
ing a constitutional disease, re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi
monials.

INDEPENDENT'S
BABY CONTEST.
Here is the proposition and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on
display at the Palace Jewelry
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
or girl under two years of age,
who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
est baby. Now the baby that is
not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
tle once for all the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular
ballot, and in accordance with
the following rules:
BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
First—No baby that has reach
ed the age of two years Nov. 1,
1904, is eligible to this contest,
nor shall any employe or party
connected with this paper be eli
gible to vote.
Second—Every issue of the
Daily and Weekly Independent
from November 1 to December
24, will contain a ballot entitling
the holder to one vote in this
contest. For every dollar’s worth
of job, work, advertising and
subscription paid for between
these dates a coupon good for ten
votes will be issued, but no cou
pons will be issued for sums less
than $1.00. Coupons will not be
sold, and will only be issued for
job, ad and subscrpition busi
ness, but extra copies of the In
dependent at 2 cents per copy,
each containing one ballot, will
be sold at this office.
Third—All votes must be sent
to this office and will be de
posited in a lock box, to be opened
at 8 o’clock each publication day
and counted. The daily issue of
that afternoon will contain the
total of the several candidates
and the public will thus be kept
informed of the voting each day.
Fourth—A committee of three
good business men will be select
ed to canvass the ballots the
morning of Dec. 24 and announce
4-1, A nriMMAW All Kollnfa mncf Ka
deposited at this office by 11 a.
m., Dec. 24, 1904.
Read the rules carefully.
WINTER IN COLORADO.
Your own physician will tell
you that the dry mountain air of
Colorado as an elixir of life
stands pre-eminent. Always
rigorous and stimulating, the
crisp atmosphere of Colorado is
at its best in winter. To accom
modate winter tourists to the
Rockies, The Union Pacific has
put in effect from Chicago a
round trip rate of $47.20 and
from St. Louis a round trip rate
of $39.20, with proportionate
reductions from all points within
its immediate territory. Tick
ets on sale every day until May
1st, 1905, and with return limit
June 1st, 1905. Be sure your
ticket reads over the Union Pa
cific, the popular route to Color
ado. For full information in

FOR NEEDLEWORKERS.
Pretty Bits of Household Finery Up
on Which to Employ Their
Spare Time.
A fad of the moment is to have laced
or embroideerd cuff and stock pieces
edged entirely around with ruching.
The cuff pieces are simply basted over
| the wristbands. When the ruching is
soiled a new ruche may be put on and so
the handsome or delicate lace is saved
much washing.
One of the embroidery designs in field
flowers which is attractive is a daisy
pattern upon a table center piece. Large
1 centers with a white couched edge and
the pattern stamped inside this cost
$1.50. The edges should be finished with |
a broad band, of lace. The design is j
worked in white and green.
A prime factor in a cozy corner is a
cushion of green burlap embroidered
with red raffia. The design is of clus
ters of cherries. The realism of this
pillow is further carried out by having
the corners finished with large bunches
of natural-looking velvet cherries on a
green wire stem.
The prettiest of the new summer
cushion covers are in sheer muslin or
lawn, with embroidered monogram or
Marie Antoinette festooned borders, or
Napoleonic wreaths of tiny flowers all
done in exquisite stitches in white, and
brought into relief by being placed over
a cushion covered in rose, blue, yellow
or mignonette green.
Bedroom slippers of the hand cro
cheted order echo the universal vogue
of the polka dot. The smartest of these
are now made to come very high on the
ankle and turn over, forming a sort of
cuff. Larke white polka dots occur on
a background of pink or lavender, ora
white surface is treated with large dots
In pink or blue.
A pretty pincushion that a girl can
make for herself, or for a gift, is a cir
cular affair of violet colored silk or
satin, heavily sacheted with orris pow
der. Around this are sewed millinery
violets, arranged in such a way that the
cushion is almost hidden away in the
blossoms. The stems are tied as If in a
bouquet at the back.
A pretty and comfortable kimono may i
be made from an old shirt waist. Re- 1
move the gathers at the waist. Take off
the collar band and cuttheneck V-shape. j
Remove the cuffs and gathers at the j
wrist. Now take cloth of a contrasting j
color and sew a strip two inches wide ;
around the bottom of the waist and the
t sleeves, up the fronts and around the
f neck and your dressing sack is com
I plete.
THE OLD-FASHIONED BATH.
An Invigorating Indulgence Espe
cially Beneficial to Persons
Who Are Ailing.
An 1830 bath is the very latest
thing. It is a bath made of sweet
scented water in which there is enough
acid to be invigorating. It is a bath
of a previous generation and it is one
which every athlete of the present day
should try, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
To make an 1830 bath take a tub of
hot water and pour into it a quart of
bath vinegar if one can afford it. If
one cannot indulge in this extrava
gance, then take a pint. If this is too
much at least pour in a few table
spoonfuls.
A bath in bath vinegar is good for
the muscles.^ It drives away rheuma
tism, it cures neuralgia, it is Just the
thing for a stiff neck, and it takes th«
ache out of tired bones.
A rnsifi AAraniiim hiLth is rA.Afim
mended to those who have neuralgia
and sharp aches and pains. There is
something very soothing about the
odor of rose geranium. It lulls the
senses as not even violets can do.
The aromatic bath, partly ammonia,
is liked by those who feel faint and ii
the bath of baths for the woman with
a weak heart. Let the woman whose
heart does not beat well practice walk
ing. Let her take the walking exer
cises vigorously. Then let her take
a bath in aromatic vinegar and let hei
finally steep her nose in a bottle of tue
vinegar, and while she is dressing let
a saucer of it stand in the room. This
is the best way to get the full scent
of the vinegar and the best results
from it.
Camphorated baths are much toe
powerful for any but the sick. The
person who has sprains or bruises can
take a mild camphorated bath, but it
is not a pleasant bath nor one which
can be recommended for daily use.
Taken all in all there is nothing quite
as pleasant as the rose geranium bath
nor one that is cheaper. A gTeat bot
tle, half a gallon, of the scent can be
made for a dollar and this will last
a long time.
Curry of Vegetable.
Use one large onion, a sour apple, a
pint each of carrot, turnip and celery
cubes, a heaping teaspoon curry pow
der, one pint stock or milk, two table
spoons flour, two level teaspoons salt,
one-half teaspoon pepper, generous
tablespoon of butter; mince the onion
pare the apple and cut in thin slices; put
butter on the stove in stewpan and as
soon as melted add onion and apple;
atir for two minutes and then add the
other vegetables, stirring until It be
gins to brown; then add flour and sea
soning, stir again, then pour milk oi
stock over; cover the stewpan aDd let
| simmer one hour.—Boston Globe.
Blanquette of Lamb.
Cut cold, cooked lamb In strips, make a
sauce with three tablespoonfuls each ol
butter and flour stirred over the fire until
smooth, add one cupful of stock and one
cupful of milk and stir until boiling
salt, pepper and dash of nutmeg and one
tablespoonful of tomato catsup; heatthe
meat in this, turn out on a platter, serve
around it green peas or a potato border;
sprinkle with minced parsley.—Good
