The shirt-waist manor the man
who goes upon the street and in pub
lie places without coat or vest, wear
ing neat outing shirts, with no sus-
penders across his shoulders but with
belt to support his trousers-is Great
lng quite furore IN the cities. He
has resolved himself and themselves
into clubs and societies for the pro
motion of comfortable wear during
the torrid season, and because of this
he is engrossing the attention of
women's clubs, society gatherings,
the presiding geniuses of the court
room and even columns in the news
papers-some for and some against
the now famous "Shirt-waist man.
The Petersburg Inder- appeal hasn't
much to say on the subject but is
quite pointed in few words, as wit
ness: "The shirt-waist man in pub
lie places and especially on the streets
when sack coats of illusion-like ma
terial are cheap and abundant, is an
inexcusable nuisance. If he must
borrow from the costume of the op-
posite sex. don't let him stop at the
shirt waist. but go the whole hog OF
none."

REDS" QUERY ANSWERED.
EDITOR CITiZEN:-

EDITOR CITIZEN
AS the Agricultural editor appears
to have been away last week, proba-
bly, at Old Point with the State
Board, assisting in their ardnous ag-
ricultural experiments at that place,
| will undertake to furnish leaf
from my own experience for the
benefit of "Red."
Ten years ago the writer's wife was
sick and colored girl was secured
to attend to the milking. In a few
days the milk began cutting MP
capers similar to that of reds" IN
week it got so bad that it clabbered
in less than thirty minutes after
milking, and before 1t could be
strained it was solid mass that had
to be thrown away. Investigation
showed that the milk maid had
washed the milk bucket and pans
just as the dishes were washed, and
therein lay the trouble.
Uncle Sans scientific milk maids
tell us that untold millions of pes
tiferous little beasts called bacteria
lie in wait an every hand just natu-
rally longing for a chance to get in
the milk and to increase and multi
ply. Now in order to prevent this
scien lists say:
"Tin articles should be washed
first in cool, then in hot water, and
after that thoroughly scalded with
boiling water or steam. They should
then be dried in fresh air and if
possible in the sunlight"
Now, let "Red" see that the milk
things are cleansed after this manner,
and the milk house be scalded also, if
possible, aud report results.
