and Texas and Pacific roads,
for the alleged purpose OF
comforting with the heath au hor-
tiles Of the various towns, to III.
.iuee them to modify existing
quarantine restrictions against
New Orleans.
1t appears that the combination
had plain sailing until they ap
preached the corporate limits O
Rayne, when and where they
were met by armed men, with TIT
peremptory demand to reverse
their engine aud retrace thelI
steps. 1t is needless to say tba
he imperative injunction was I'M
plieiiiy obeyed aud The party wa
again soon iii New Orleans. The,
were accorded the proper rccel'
ton at Rayne. Why should no
others from New Orleans and al
infected places, as we'll as DR.. OH
plant and his party, be adml'te
into the healthy towns OF til
State? IL it not just as easy 70
them to convey in their clotlln
and communicate infection to tn
people along the intended route
as it would be for any ordInar
mortal. Besides, DIR. Oliplant

The looser, larger meshed goods or

silk and have belt and collar to match
one color and silk vest of the other.
All have the loose blouse corsage.
Never throw away orange peel. Save
it, and when dry keep in tin. Two or
three pieces thrown on a fire will cause
this to burn up quickly and will also emit
slight but refreshing perfume.
Orange is combined with navy, grayish
and bluet blue shades. A yoke COLOR

light blue taffeta; narrow satin ribbon
in scroll trims the wrist, blouse front

Black grenadines made over black are
very popular with No. or No. black
satin ribbon put on the skirt, and loose
blouse front in scroll patterns. The COL
lar and belt of satin, velvet or ribbon,
supply the needed bit of color in mauve,
orange, cerise, pink or green.
Very disfguring are grease marks on
wall paper. There is a way to remove
them, though the process should be gone
through as soon as possible after they
appear and before they have time to sink
deeply into the paper. Take some pipe
clay or fuller's earth and mix it with
cold water until it makes fairly thick
paste. Put layer of this on the grease
marks and let 1t remain for twenty-four
hours. By this time it should be per-
fectly dry and can be brushed off, re-
vealing a perfectly clean spot. In the
case of an old stain 1t may be necessary
to repeat the process.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM
It Should be Kept Scrupulously Clean
and Free From Noise


Mrs. Burton Kingsland, writing of
when Nursing the Sick in the Sep
tember Ladies' Home Journal, insists
that "a tranquil mind is of the utmost
Importance to the patient, and conse-
quently everything must seem to be NOV
ing smoothly and easily, no matter what
difficulties the nurse may have TO en-
counter The invalid should not be al
lowed to feel any responsibility what
ever about his own case. The sick room
should be kept scrupulously neat, and
made as cheerful and attractive as pos
sible, that the eyes of the patient may
rest with pleasure upon his surround
ings. The nurse herself may contribute
to the agreeable environment if her own
dress be simple and tasteful, and above
all, conspicuously neat. All soiled dish
es should be removed Immediately after
being used, and no food kept in sight.
Even the medicine bottles need not be
obstrusively in evidence.
Stiffness has in itself a power to
soothe, and, as all know, when the
nerves are quiet natures healing pro-
cesses go on without impediment. Creak-
ing shoes, rustling of garments. the
rafting of dishes and kindred noises are
often the occasion Of positive suffering
to an invalid. To accidently jar the bed,
to spill the medicine when administer
ing it, to close door noisily, to sleep
audibly' are cases where "a small un-
kindness is a great offense' in the hy-
persensitive condition Of the nerves of
the patient"

Ways of Usingi Eggs

1t is said that a raw egg swallowed
at once when a fishboneis caught in the
throat beyond the reach of the finger
will dislodge the bone and carry 1t down.
The white of a raw egg turned over
burn or scald is most soothing and cool
ing. 1t can be applied quickly and will
prevent Inflammation, besides relieving
the singing pain.
The white of raw egg is the most
satisfactory of pastes, and is better
than any prepared paste or muciIage
one can buy. Papers intended to be put
over tumbers of jelly and jam will hold
very securely and be alright if dipped
in the white of an egg.
One of the best remedies in case Of
bowel troubles is partly beaten raw
egg taken at one swallow. 1t is healing
TO the infiamed stohach and intestines
and will relieve the feeling of distress.
Four eggs taken in this manner in TWEEN
ty-four hours will form the best kind of
nourishment as we'll as medicine Cor the
patient.
A raw egg is one of the most nutri-
tious of foods, and may be taken very
easily if the yolk is not broken. A little
nutmeg grated upon the egg, a few
drops of lemon juice added, some chop
ped parsley sprinkled over it, or some
salt and a dash of cayenne pepper vary
the flavor and tend to make it more pal
atable when not taken as medicine.

THE oLD-FAsH1oNED WOMAN
In Many Ways She Is Truer to Her
Womanhood by Being So

when one judges truly what 1t Is to
be 'old-fashioned' in some of the mod
ern progressive ideas, 1t does not ap-
pear so bad" writes Edward w. Box,
discussing "On Being Old Fashioned"
in the September Ladies' Home Journal.
1T may be true that one who refuses
to be so essentially modern in all phases
of life misses some things. But then
these progressive spirits seem to miss
some things, too; they seem to miss in
about everything they do, and incident
ally miss as well, the true aim and es-
sence of life. And there are often strong
compensations in the attitude of the
old fashioned 1t brings fewer after
regrets; fewer pictures one wants to blot
out An Indifference to healthy progress
is injurious to any one. But when prog
ress seeks to improve upon those ele-
ments in life which are God-ordaned,
the wisest of us are those who stand still
or fall out of the ranks. There are some
things in this world which even the won
derful genius of this century cannot i'm
prove upon. They were fashioned by
skill beyond our ken. And we would
better let them alone. Forward COM
mands the old proverb, but then it adds,
but not too fast The cautious woman,
the home-loving woman, the woman fond
of her children, and with belief in God,
who gave them to her, the woman of
pure heart and good purpose, the woman
who loves and is beloved. need never be
disturbed that she is called 'old-fash-
ioned.' Perhaps she is. But it is no
disgrace to be 'old-fashioned' in some
things. She is truer to her womanhood
by being so. And she is always in good
company"

September Ladies' Home Journal

The September Ladies Home Journal
in the variety, interest and timeliness
of it's articles and the beauty of its illus
trations, is a notable number of that
magazine. A spirited article by John F.
drteu Iii congress, ana another, by Clif-
ford Howard, tells of destroying Mil
lion Dollars Day." the task Of the re-
demption division of our treasury
Elizabeth Bisland, in 1.-THE Difference
Between Mrs. A. and Mrs. b." defines
the exactions that the -four hundred" 4"
or the dominating social circle of commu-
mites, imposes on an aspirant for ad-
mission to it's ranks.
The second part Of Hamlin Garland's
serial, "The Spirit of Sweetwater," will
appeal to every reader of romance, and
the first of Mrs. Mark Morrison's "The
Pixies and the Elaines," series will
charm every child who may follow the
adventures of those winsome fairies. A
composition for the piano, Golden Vine
yard Waltzer," the musical feature of
the magazine, is regarded by it's famous
composer, Edward Jakobowskl, as one
of his best. Edward w. Box, with char
acteristic directness, discusses "On Be
ing Fashioned" and other topics of
especial concern to women. William
Martin Johnson describes and pictures
"Floral Effects for Home Weddings"
and Walter German tells of "The Groom's
Part in the Wedding" Other articles
that have a special, practical value de-
tail how photography can be successfully
pursued as profession by women; tell
of THE Best Shade Trees for a Small
Gardens;" give advice in nursing the
efoly 10; x1so
household decorations, etc.
Mrs. Rorer's cooking lesson treats of
Making Bread and Rolls" and she also
points out Small Leakages of a House
hold" and how to prevent them. The
fashion articles on winter gowns, hats,
coats and Jackets, by Isabel A. Mallon,
have the value of being profusely illus
trated by photographs from the best
Paris designs. There are also poems
various short sketches, and the depart
ments; so there is nothing lacking to
make the September Journal a complete
family magazine.

All kinds of stitches and combinations
of stitches are utilized in embroidering
table linen, but very little solid work is
done on larger pieces Battenberg,
Honiton ard all other handmade linen
laces are in decided favor for table and
bed linen. Tatting was never so highly
appreciated as now, and whether used
as an edge finish or for small doilies en-
tire is charming. There can be no neat
er stitch for sheets and pillow-cases than
the hemstitched hem so much in vogue,
but it must now divide favor with but
tonholed scallope. In some instances the
scallops are worked along the bottom of
the hemstitched hem.

A WOMAN'S PRAYER

o Lord, who knowest every need of mine.
Help me to bear each cross and not re-
pine:
Grant me fresh courage every day,
Help me to do my work alway
Without complaint
o Lord, Thou knowest we'll how dark the
way.
Guide Thou my footsteps, lest they stray;
Give me fresh faith for every hour,
Lest 1 should ever doubt Thy power,
And make complaint!
Give me heart o Lord, strong to endure;
Help me to keep it simple, pure;
Make me unselfish, helpful, true
In every act, whate'er do,
And keep content!
Help me to do my woman's share,
Make me courageous, strong to bear
Sunshine or shadow in my life;
Sustain me in the daily strife
To keep content!

~ ANARCHIsT ROME.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-The anarchists who
are arranging for a demonstration in
memory of the men executed for the
Haymarket massacre have dropped a
bomb in the council of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, by asking for
official endorsement, and cooperation
of union labor. The invitation stirred
up an hours violent debate. At
length high counsel of the labor union
went upon record by repudiating any
implied fraternity between Unionism
and Anarchism and fatty refused to
take any part in the coming exercises
or memorial service by a vote of four
to one. After the vote majority of
the anarchistic element left the hall in
a body.
