A scouring brush "should bo used w-lth n mild soap and lukewarm water i Frocks for By twos and threes, with arms cn .twlnod, schoolgirls are sauntering .through the strcpts and gladdening our worldworn hearts. It. seems that their slender, supple bodies were never so fittingly nnd becomingly clad as they are this fall. Since mothers ihave grown discriminating, and spe- iclallsts have devoted their energies to providing clothes for the young person who goes to school and other wise occupies her time, wo have ap parel for tho young miss that Is n thing of beauty and "a Joy till she outgrows It. Any of the plain and substantial dress materials of wool are suited to the very pretty frock for a girl of sixteen (or somewhere near that ngo) which Is so adequately shown In tho photograph above. Trlcotlne or serge and gabardine rank together In point of serviceability. The frock pictured is of serge, In dork blue, and is brightened up with u vest of trlcolqtto In American Beau ty shudo that has three groups of three tucks each to embellish it There Is a great vogue for this color combination In schoolgirls dresses this fall, the red usually showing In pipings jind in small insets. In this frock tho bodice turns back at each side of tho vest In straight rovers bound with silk braid, like tho frock In color, nnd thcro are three snappy little brass buttons set on each rover, The use of braid and buttons In nd dltlon to tho Introduction of n colored vest makes nn unusual amount of trimming for a divBS of this kind, but It Is woll-planned nnd not overdone, very youthful In character, and It Is -Jfi.

Any simple soap may bo used, bu strong kinds should bo avoided. A naL' brush Is neccssnry, and an Inoxpenslvf one will bo as cleansing as a costlj one. As soon ns tho hands are wet thej must bo lathered, and then the brust rubbed over the soap nnd tho palmi nnd backs scrubbed, brushing so th( skin will not bo Irritated, yet sulft clontly brisk to take out the dirt. To Whiten Hands. A very good blenching pnsto can b used at night, avoiding the nails, wltU a pair of kid gloves worn over It. Snowy hands nro produced by dip ping them In almond oil; let them ab sorb all tho oil, and then dip them In French chalk and wear n pair of loos old gloves, that night. Another plar Is to wnsh the hands in peroxide o hydrogen, letting It dry on them, and then rub on cold cream and wear old, kid gloves. In tho morning wash ofl with lemon Juice, vlnegnr or cider, ho water, and then a disappearing cream. Stained Hands. Cream of tartar will remove dye stains from tho hands.

The length of tho skirt In n dress, like this varies n Httlo according to tho age and figure of the girl It Is made for. If she Is under sixteen It will be about thnt of the frock pic tured. A neat-looking box plait at tho front, with wide plnlts at each side and in tho back, take care of the full ness about the Nwnlst, and a brnld binding and three buttons finish oft the opening nt the side. The bodice and skirt are set together under a wide, plain belt of the goods thnt but tons nt tho left side. Narrow silk braid Is considerably used for finishing frocks for girls ns well as suits for them and for grown ups. It appears m neat rows nnd ns a binding with better effects than over, but it must be faultlessly placed and sewed. Tho Linen FiocK. Shown side by side with frocks of hntlstc, organdie, dotted swlss and chambrny, there aro tho loveliest frocks of linen In white and delicate colors. Both tho fine soft linen, almost lllie the French handkerchief linen, nnd the heavy coarse weave aro liked. The heavier quality makes up beaufl fully Into tailored dresses, suits or smocks. Hats are also made of this coarso linen. Ono lovely model was in n delicate shade of pink and woe tnmmeu wun a neavy cotton fringe. c MELLEN FOR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP tho employees of the government in other lines. And the cities could own nnd control their public utilities on tho snmo principle. In ninny respects the old competition that existed between tho rallronds was n good thing. "But what the patrons of tho ronds lose In this connection will bo made up by the fnct that they will consider tho ronds as belonging to them, and will put up with conditions which previously had put us In a bad light." SWOPE 18 THE PAST TENSE OF SWIPE 1 When King Swope, tho twenty-clght-year-old discharged soldier, who has swept n strongly Democratic, dis trict Into tho Republican column for the first tlmo In 23 yenrs, took his seat In tho houso tho other day as repre sentative of the Eighth Kentucky dis trict, he wns the target of all eyes. Tho Republicans greeted him with cheers nnd tho Democrats gazed nt him with unconcenled Interest. Does his election mean anything out of tho ordinary? And If so, what does It mean? The politicians of con gress would like to know. Anyway, King Swope's election was certainly out of tho ordinary. He was a struggling young lawyer In Dan ville, who had Been honorable service overseas and comes of a well-known Kentucky family. Ho was a speaker at tho Lincoln day banquet of the Kentucky Republicans In Louisville. Ho denounced the Leucuo of Nations, iln- ciariug Americans should bo ashamed much of It. Representative Harvey Helm died and tho Republicans uomlnnted Swope. Tho Democrats placed a copy of his Lincoln day speech in every voter's hands and were confident ho would not get even a complimentary vote. Swope stood pat on his eneoch nml mmin if tim tt by l.i 00 majority In a district normally THEIR NAME IS states In the last ten weeks nnd talked entire demand of the country Is for a looks to the patriotic societies to take Colonel Roosevelt's tour, under speakers' bureau, Is to be one of tho features of tho national membership drive, which will be undertaken by state branches and local posts during September to bring the Legion's enrollment of veterans up to the million mark beforo the national convention opens In Minneapolis on November 10. WILL SHE BE SENATOR ANN MARTIN? Is tho United Stntes senate to havb O. woman member? Anyway, Ann Martin, ono of the prominent suffragists In tho country, is preparing to run for senator In Ne vada next year, either as a Republican or an Independent. She ran last year and was defeated, getting about half as ninny votes ns the Republican candi date, and spending only $1D,000, com pared to about $100,000 spent by nn- otuer candidate. But she Is coming back for another whirl. Being n wise politician, Miss Mar tin has advised Will Hays, chairman of tho Republican national committee, mat sue citner will accept tho Repub lican nomination nnd fight It out with the Democrats, or run us an Independ ent nnd mnko It a three-cornered rnco. All of which has given Will something to turns; nuout. If Miss Martin should get Into the senate, by tho way, tho historical knowledge of the placo would hnvo a great uplift. She used to bo head of tho history department of tho Nevada Stato university. Charles S.

AMERICAN LEGION In connection with tho spcnklng tour of Col. Theodoro Roosevelt, whoso portrait Is here presented, In 14 states In the interest of recruiting for tho American Legion, t hns become known that there Is a movement to get to gether all the veternns of patriotic or ganizations. The attitude of tho Q. A. R. toward tho proposition Is shown by tho folfowlng extracts from a letter from C. B. Adams of Omaha, com-l mnnder In chief, to Henry D. Llndsey, chnlrraan of tho nntlonnl executive council of tho American Legion: "In my oplnlqn the time has now arrived for all nrmy men and all patri otic societies to strengthen their po sition by a federation of organizations. This nctlon cunnot come too soon tho disorganization thnt Is so rife today must he curbed. And It will take tho united force of us all to mako tho proper Amerlcnn construction that Is eo urgently needed. I have visited 27 to moro than half a million people. Tho settled American policy nnd tho nation the lead." the direction of tho Legion's national Keep Cow Quarters Clean It (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) In marketing milk or dnlry products that meet the highest demand nnd bring the best prlccB, tho first step Is In Its production. Only milk from. healthy cows should bo used for hu man food. It should bo produced un der clean surroundings nnd bo han dled In such n wny that Incrcnso of bacteria, which causo tho milk to sour, be held ns low as possible. It docs not require expensive barns nnd elaborate equipment to produce milk of low bacteria count. The dnlry specialists of tho United States de partment of agriculture have proved this In n prnctlcal experiment. Tho experiment was begun by placing four cows In nn ordinary frame hnrn and employing nn untrained worker to milk nnd enre for tho animals. No extra attention was devoted to cleaning tho barn, nnd for six months the cows were kept under these conditions, Then, without nny chnngo In bnm management, two cows were milked into small-top palls and tho two others milked Into ordlnnry open-top palls. Tho milk from tho open-top palls averaged 407,053 bacteria to tho cubic centimeter, nnd tho milk from tho smnll-top pnlls averaged 308,214 a difference of 120,430. Steam Purifying Proved. The noxt step In tho experiment consisted of stcrllzlng tho cans and pnlls with llvo steam, but other con ditions rcmnlncd ns before. The milk from the sterilized small-top pnlls averaged only 17,027 bacteria to tho cubic centimeter, n reduction of 3551, 187 In favor of sterilization. With tho open pnlls sterilization reduced tho bacteria to 22,077, a decrenso of 474, 070 compared with milk from the un stcrlllzed' open palls. Sterilization Is not difficult nor expensive. Tho dairy .specialists of tho department hnvo de veloped n simple steam stcrllzer which can bo made at home, or can bo pur chased completo for about $10 to $15. Complete directions for making It can bo obtained by writing to tho dnlry di vision of tho United Stntes depart ment of agriculture. In tho third stngo of tho experiment tho manure was removed from tho barn twice Instead of only onco n week, and tho udders and tents of tho 'cows were washed beforo each milk ing. These rcnsonnblo measures of cleanliness reduced the count In milk drawn Into tho sterilized smnll-top palls to 2,880 bacteria to the cubic centimeter, and In tho sterilized open top palls to 0,100. Ordinary cleanli ness, It enn be seen, caused a reduc tion of over 10,000 bacteria to the cubic centimeter. In tho flnnl stago of tho experiment other mensures to Insuro cleanliness were practiced. Tho manure wns re moved dnlly, clean bedding wns sup plied, and tho cows were groomed regularly with a currycomb and brush. With thpso final precautions tho bac teria count In tho small-top palls aver aged only 2.1C4 -to tho cubic centime ter, or 1,107,847 less thnn were found in n snmplo when the barn and' cows were dirty nnd tho utensils wcro not steamed. Put It Up to Consumer. Milk is a highly pcrlshnble food and the length of time It will rcmnln sweet nnd safe, especially for children, de pends nlmost entirely upon tho con stant enro it receives from tho cow to tho consumer. Milk passes through three agencies tho producer, tho dealer, and tlio consumer. If tho first two hnvo dono their part, clenn, safe milk will bo delivered, thoroughly chilled, to tho consumer. Tlio best wny to deliver milk Is In clean, well capped bottles. If bottled milk can not bo obtnlncd, the housewife should nrrnngo to have It received In a clean, scalded utensil, cover It instantly, nnd place It Immediately In n refrigerator or the coolest nvnllnble place. From tho time milk Is produced un til It Is consumed It should be kept cool at a temperature of 50 degrees F. or lower. At such temperatures bacteria develop very slowly and milk undergoes Httlo change. A slight rise In temperature above this point, how over, permits bncterln to multiply rapidly and brings about deterioration of tho milk, which may render It un snfo for ordlnnry uso and make It highly dangerous for babies and older children. In cooling milk dairymen should uso facilities nlrendy existing, such ns cold wnter In wells or springs, When milk Is drawn from u cow It hns a temperaturo of about 05 degrees F. In tho North well nnd spring water Helps Make Better Milk Saleu. generally varies in temperature from 50 degrees to CO degrees F. By tho uso of surfneo coolers nnd a tnnk of running wnter milk can quickly bo cooled and held to within two to four degrees of tho temperature of wnter. During wnnn weather It may bo nec essary to ship or deliver milk twlco n dny. This would have a tendency to check spoilage, especially of evening milk, which Is usually moro fhnn 12 hours old when shipped. Milk dealers can do much to prevent Rpotlago by , pasteurizing tho milk, 'which not only kills disease bacteria, hut reduces tho bacteria count nnd therefore delays spollngo. FEED COW LIBERALLY DURING FALL MONTHS It Pays to Begin Feeding Silagd and Hay Early. Affects Milk Flow for Whole Year by Putting Animal In Good Condition to Go Through the Cold Weather of Winter. I (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The wise dnlrymnn will feed liber ally during tho fall months. Cows which nro not well fed nt this tlmo will go Into tho winter thin In flesh nnd with reduced milk flow. It will bo expensive nnd largely In vain to nt tempt to bring them back to normal . flow nfter they go on winter rations. It will pay to begin feeding .sllugo nnd hny early. Tho extra feedglvcn nt this tlmo will not only bring good, lmracdlnto returns, but nffect tho milk flow for tho wholo year by putting tho cow In good condition to go through tho winter months. Cows which go Into tho winter In good vitality, and with undiminished milk flow, nro tho ones which will mnko most economical uso of tho hlgh-prlccd feeds given them during tho fall months by proper feed' Ing. It will pny. Cold, uncomfortnblo cows will not mnke economical uso of feed. Their highly developed nervous systems uro very susceptlblo to sudden changes lu temperature. This should be borne In mind In tho fall, when the first cold rnlns nnd cold winds come. Protection from theso will proVent the reduc tion In milk flow which they nlwuys cause. Do not wasto feed by letting cows stand out In cold winds aud rain. SACKS ARE NOT SUFFICIENT Do Not Give New Potatoes Necessary Protection From Cuts and ! Bruising In Handling. ; (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture) Sacks do not sufficiently protect new potatoes from cuts and bruising. If they nro used thoso holding from'OO to 120 pounds nro tho most desirable from the standpoint of careful han dling and vcntllntlon of tho contents. GUARD POTATOES FROM SUM It lo Advisable to Lino Certain Open Parts of Stock Cars With Building Paper. (Preparod by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) If potatoes are shipped In stock cars It Is generally advlsablu to pro tect the potatoes from tho sun and weather by lining cortnln of the open parts with strong building popcr. Young boars that nro to bo sold for breeding purposes Bhould have extra cure. Try a few sheep on tho farm ; start with twenty ewes of tho black-face typo. Tho young boars may well bo given n little extra care as tho show or sale season draws near. Tho first thing a hog raiser should do when n Utter of pigs begins to scour Is to reduce the ration of the sow even If she Is not being overfed. This will nlwnys help. LIVC SflTPCKp
