It has to the ears of this commit
tee that the republican managers in
tend, at the last moment and when
too late to be answered, to publish q
lot of false and damaging reports re-
garding some of the candidates on
the Independent. and democrat coun-
ty ticket. We desire to caution the
voters of Williams county against
any and all trump-up stories which
may be sprung and circulated just on
the eqe of the election. The indie
pendent and democrat ticket is com
posed of good, able and clean men.
and we have endeavored to conduct
the campaign on our part in a clean
gentlemanly manner. We hope the
voters will observe this, and favor our
candidates with their support.

A Word About GIycerin.

Since so many people use pure glycerin for
the skin word of caution seems necessary.
If you apply little glycerin to the tip OF
the tongue you will find that, although 1t
has pleasant sweet taste, the first sensa-
ton that is felt is one of pain and burning.
Th!S Is caused by the fact that glyceTin has
a strong affinity for water, and that 1t ab-
serbs all the moisture from the surface
which it touches. thus drying up and parcn-
ing the nerves. Ignorant of this fact nurses
ana mothers have applied pure glycerin 10
the chafed skin of infants, producing often
great pain. The glycerin ought to have been
ltrst mixed with an equal bulk OF water.
This being done, ii may be applied to the
most tender surfaces without producing in
jury, and, as it does not dry up it virtually
maintains the part in a constantly moist
condition. eXclud ng the air and promoting

To Clean n Wooden Dress.

The following simple method of cleaning
dress skirt has been so thoroughly tested
that no one need hesitate about trying il.
The rule was first learned from a cook who
accidentally had a cup of melted butter
spilled over her dress. 1t was thought to
be beyond reclaimng, but the cook herself
declared that she could take every bit of
the grease out-and she did. Since then
the rule has been applied to many less
hopeless cases, and Invariably with the
most satisfactory of results.
rake three-fourths of a pail of cold soft
water, and add one teacup of ammonia,
thoroughly brush and shake the dress
skirt then rinse in up and down repeatedly
in this ammonia water After Thoroughly
sousing' it, let it lie in the water for an
hour once more rinse it up and down,
then take it out, squeezing the water from
It, but not wringing it.

SERVANT GIRLS IN GERMANY
GOVERNMENT is THE REGULATOR
OF DOMESTIC AFFAIRS.
A"th Mistress and Maid Have Their
Independence CurtaiIed by
the system.


Written for The Evening Star
In Germany the government takes a hand
In the servant girl problem, as it does in al
most everything else, and ii has succeeded
in partially solving at least one phase of
the difficulty. 1t has reduced the servant
girls "fightiness" to a minimum; she cam
not change places once a week the wear
around. For when she moves the govern
ment represented by the police must know
all about it, and if there is any difficulty
or dispute, disagreeabc questions NAV be
asked
Indeed, the process of employing a SER
want girl is a good deal of a business trans
action, with a decidedly official tinge. The
girl comes to your kitchen and you agree
with her about the wages, and she says
she will stay. Then you must go to the po-
lice station and purchase for five pfennigs
(about one cent? white card, or blank
which has spaces for all sorts of informa-
ton about the new girl" You must write
down her full name where she came from,
whether married or single ner trade wheth-
er cook, chambermaid or waitress; her
birthday and year, her nationality, her re-
igion, her own home, and if married how
many minor children she has, where they
are and who their guardian is. The govern
ment always looks out well for the children.
and sees that they are provided for COM
fortably, this being the more necessary be-
married women with typically large fami-
lies. At the same time that this blank goes
In the girl must also send a blank, report
ng her change of place. Having done all
his you must that the girl pays her
regular fees to the insurance or death fund,
so that she may not become a public charge
n case of her death or dsabement.
All this ceremony tends to make II diff
cult for girl to move about. or for tho
n aster to discharge her with small cause.
Should it be necessary at any time for the
girl to leave there must be more dealings
with the police. The householder now buys
with the same completeness of description
the departure OF his servant And there
must be no delay in any of these cere-
monies, else the police, who have their
fingers on every man, woman and child In
Germany and know just where each indi-
vidual should be at any given time, Will
begin making inquiries, and If you have
not reported you are taken before the
magistrate and tined.
All this tends to prevent the rapid cir
cu.ation of servant girls so familiar to
C!aras follow the Maggies and the
Katies follow the Claras in swift success
sion. Nor do the German girls expect
such Difference as these in America; they
are industrious and quiet; they are willing
to work for little or nothing, and to do any
sort of disagreeabe task. but on the other
hand, not SO much is expected of them as
in America, and their miStresSes are per-
haps more tolerant 1t may be added,
however, that the German girl has her
regular Sunday soldier or policeman as

are lavished upon the figure. Earrings, the
large, curiously shaped sort depend from
the most delicate and shell-like ears.
Crepe de chine. 1t is noticeable, appears
this season in many new shades and in
many new and serviceable qualities. One
of these is supplied with firm body, which
makes the stuff suitable for ordinary dress
frOcks 1t cleans WELL but crushes easily
and is more expensive than ordinary crepe
de chine.
Lovely New Fans.
Empire fans, of course, are the most
fashionable in accordance with the fact
that the winter will be largely an empire
season. Some of the new ones are exact
reproductions of some of the famous fans
of Josephine. Fans with amber and mother
of pearl sticks, covered with lace and then
hand painted are considered very smart.
One of the novelties of the new fans Is the
fact that they are provided with a couple
of eye-shaped holes. through which the
owner may peer coquettishly while she pre-
tends to shade her eyes with her fan.
Belts of elastic silk are now made for

Carriage Wraps.

For the moment we all need a stylish
wrap Cloak Here are two: The one three
quarter length with a round collar, the
garment made in white cloth. trimmed with
narrow rows Of black braid. This would
be very excellent in fine black ladies' cloth
and is exactly what is wanted for the mo-
ment, being useful and light. There is
nothing which gives so good a finishing
touch to well made gown as cloak of
the latest mode. The other wrap cloak
has four capes and fastens with large
bone buttons. A couple of ends from either
side are knotted in front, and there are
appliques of silk embroidery, which add
to the beauty of the garment. What could
be better on bright sunny day than such
carriage wrap, thrown off in a moment
For country parties It is almost invalu-
