HOUSE GOWN AT SMALL COST.
Silk and Cotton Fabrics May Be Used
with Excellent Results.
The girl who wants a pretty house
gown at small cost Is buying the silk
and cotton fabrics that, take the place
of organdie and other thin materials.
These are ofteu (lowered In charming
colors am! also made up in polka dots
and fine self-covered stripes.
The girl who makes her clothes nt
home can handle this material quite
easily. She wants a one-piece frock
of It slightly curved In at the waist,
fastening down back and cut out in a
slight square at neck.
llclow the square she insets a piece
of embroidered filet net over white
chiffon, or uses a color, as she prefers.
Above this she puts a narrow band of
lace.
The sleeves are half way to elbow,
nt me arm, aim are iimsiieu with a
frill of lace and a bow of ribbon. There
jp quite a new touch in arranging this
elbow frill. A narrow edge of lace Is
used around the inside of the arm,
then a double box plait at. the back
that is live inches deep and has a wide
square satin bow at the top.
This is much prettier than the old
fashioned way of gathering in a lace
fiill of one width.
Physical Culture to Save Figures.
New York young women of society
nave emorou witn aruor upon a new
system of physical culture, with a view
to adding harmony to their figures ami
preserving them from irregularity of
line. They have placed themselves
under the instruction of an actress
who retains her physical symtnetrv.
though she Is no longer young. This
woman points to herself as proof of
the efficacy of her system. It embraces
the varied use of elastic devices of va
rious si;:e and weights. These contriv
ances are used In ninny ways, the
work being graded with a view to in
dividual needs. Medicine balls of
graded sizes and weights also are used
ami the teacher also puts her pupils
through vigorous movements of arms
and body, which bring all the muscles
into play.

A woman who has worn black for
years says she keeps her clothes fresh

liny five cents' worth of borax am
ten cents' worth of camphor gum. Put
them into a large bowl, breaking the
camphor gum Into small pieces, pour
over this a quart of boiling water, i-tir

camphor will not dissolve. When cool
put it Into a bottle and cork tightly
When ready to use it pour a little Into
a basin, diluting It with the nuan

with this and sponge your black goods,

In combating tuberculoids of do
mesticated animals, two methods are
open for consideration:
1. Destruction of the casual organ
ism, the tubercle bacllliis, by eliminat
ing the already diseased animals and
(lisinfectin:: the infected premises.
Possible methods of producing
immunity in susceptible animals by
endeiing them resistant to the t liber
ie organism.
The first method is easily attainable
iy the detection of the presence of the
isease by means of the tuberculin
test and the subsequent separation of
affected animals. In this way the con
tinued spread of thi3 scourge can be
entirely prevented. As no known
method of cure exists for the disease
in cattle, animals' once Infected must
ba isolated from healthy stock to pre
vent further spread of contagion. To
remove all further danger from t ho
disease, thorough disinfection of the
quarters occupied by the tuberculous
animals i3 Imperative.
With certain ottier diseases, meth
ods of vaccination have already been
perfected, the elllcieney of which is so
great as to practically control such
maladies. Diphtheria antitoxin, vac
cination against smallpox, the Pasieur
treatment for rabies and anthrax are
potent illustrations of the efficiency
of Immunizing the bodies of suscepti
ble hosts against the ravages of these
human and animal plagues.
Numerous attempts liave been made
by sclent Hie investigation to devise
systems of vaccination against tuber
culosis that will render s.isceptible
animals resistant to invasion. Within
recent, years several investigators have
announced various methods for this
purpose.
In 10u2, Von ltehring, the prominent
German bacteriologist, announced the
discovery of a substance called bovo
vaccine with which he claimed calves
could ba Immunized against natural
infection from tuberculosis. Coming
from the discoverer of diph'heria anti
toxin, which remedy so revolutionized
the methods of handling this disease
of childhood, bovovaccine was hailed
with high hopes. Von P.ehring's ex
periments, then reported, seemed to
indicate that a successful method of
rendering cattle resistant bad at last
been found. In a series of lectures
given In Casscl In l'.iUll, h( made the
following sweeping statement: "The
entire suppression of bovine tubercu
losis Is now only a question of con
scientious and properly conducted pro
tective inoculations, nnd, of course,
also a matter of time."
For the Starting
Celery growing on a commercial
ic:t!c lias received most attention In
the "muck-bod" areas of Michigan Hnd
New York, where thousands of acres
are devoted to this crop. California
mill Florida have taken up the Indus
try and during the winter and spring
months provide northern cities with
i large amounts of celery. There Is,
! however, no reason why local grow
ers should not bold their own mar
kets from June to January against
tho Importations from the south.

A year later he published a brief
preliminary report of the lesults he
had obtained to that date. These
were extremely favorable, .and were,
on the whole, apparently substanti
ated by reports from other investiga
tors. Hy means of his method of vac
cination, he.waa able to raise perfictly
healthy animals even when the lntier
were continually exposed to a tuber
culous environment. The true effi
ciency of the vaccine could not be de
termined at the time, for the animals
had not attained maturity, so that the
duration of the immunity caused by
the vaccine could not be ascertained.
Nevertheless Hie results secured were
exceedingly promising;.
The principle involved In the pro
duction of bovovaccine is radically
different from that used In the prepar
ation of tuberculin. Tuberculin 13 a
germ-free extract of cultures of tu
bercle bacilli, while bovovaccine con
sists of a weakened culture of living
tubercle bacilli of human origin. Tho
human type Is used because of its
greater adaptability for vaccine pur
poses than the bovine type. The
commercial product is specially pro
pared as follows: After a sullieiently
weakened culture has been obtained, it
is grown upon a suitable medium,
then carefully dried so as not to de
stroy its activity, and finally pulver
izid. It is then accurately weighed
out into containers and sealed.
Most reliable results arc claimed
for animals vaccinated ns calves be
tween three weeks and three months
of age. Young stock up to two years
of age may be treated, provided they
are free from tuberculosis. Mature
animals (two years or older), however,
cannot bo successfully treated. The
vaccinating process consists or two in
jections made three months apart. The
lirot and weaker vaccine contains ono
so-called immunizing unit, equivalent
to .001 grams of dry tubercle bacilli;
the second vaccine consists of five
such units. For Inoculation purposes
tho powder Is thoroughly mixed In a
sterile mortar with a sterile one per
cent, common salt solution of which
two cubic centimeters are used for
each Immunizing unit.
After a thorough emulsion is made,
the material is then ready for inject
ing into the animal. For this purpose
the neck over the left Jugular vein is
shaved, washed with a disinfectant

Hie vein. To do this t ho needle of the
syringe is held almost parallel to the
