DANGER TO HEALTH IN SCHOOL
Where Sanitary Conditions Are Not
Properly Looked After, Parents
Should Step In.


Many people who are scrnpulously
careful of the health of their chill
dren in the home are strangely indif-
fereEt to the conditions prevailing in
the school. Hygiene in the public
schools is a subject that is yearly
receiving more and more attention,
with the result that new school build
ings in the larger towns and the cit
les conform generally to sanitary
standards, but this is not true of
many of the old buildings, and of
many schoolhouses in small places.
1t is the duty of all parents to know
how far they fall short, and why, and
what is needed to make them
healthy, says Youths Companion.
The rules as to contagious dis
eases should be more strict, or rath-
er, more strictly enforced, and par
ents should remember that danger
may Turk in complaints often consid-
cred of slight Importance. Whoop-
ing-cough, for instance, is thought
by many people to be an unimpor-
tant and necessary trouble of child
'iOCb' Which ~ 10 bCtlCl W SGb over
and have out of the way They do
not know, or they forget, that while
whooping-cough is not dangerous
disease for older children, it is dam
gerous and often fatal to very young
children, and it is easily carried by
the children attending school to the
babies i'll the nursery.
Too I
to the question of light in the school
room. Many children are made pre-
mature wrecks from unrecognized
eye-strain, and school visitors often
see small, helpless children sitting
blinking in the sunlight which
streams through a large window in
front of them, making frowning eff
forts through the glare to read from
a blackboard, and using up in a few
hours the nerve force of a week
Light should be abundant, and should
come from the left side, so that 10
shadow is thrown on slate or book,
as is the ease when the light comes
from behind or from the right.
Another most important matter is
the properly constructed desk, which
will prevent undue STOPPING, contor-
tions, or impeachment to correct
breathing.
In considering the subject of ven
tilation, there should, of course, be
some system in every school-room by
which air can be introduced from out
side and then allowed to escape with
out using the windows, which can
not always be depended upon on ac-
count of drafts and storms. These
and many other points should be in
sisted upon by parents.

FOR TEACHER AND PUPIL.

The conviction is gaining ground
among writer's on hygiene that chill

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Eggs will cook much more evenly
# the frying pan is covered.
A candle may be made to fit into
any candlestick by dipping it into
very hot water.
Don't salt meat before the cook
ing. Add it after the meat is cooked
Dr. when nearly done.
A pan of lime set on the shelves
near jellies, fruits and jams will pre-
vent their molding
If salad dressing curdles when be-
.ng mixed, add a little cold water,
Stir quickly and it wv eecome quite
smooth.
New stockings should always be
washed before being worn, for the
washing causes slight shrinkage and
makes them wear better.
Celery may be kept fresh several
days if after il has been cleaned and
washed it is put in an ordinary glass
fruit jar, covered tight and placed
in a cool place.
A harmless and clearly treatment
cloth with cayenne pepper in solu-
ton and stuff it into the hole. Dry
cayenne thrown about will keep ants
and cockroaches away.
Never let bird cage hang in a
room where the gas is alight unless
it is exceptionally well ventilated.
The air near the ceiling is always
the NEST impure at night. Make a
rule of always setting Diclley's cage
on the table at night and his health
will improve.
Wash chamois feathers in soapsuds
and have the suds just lukewarm and
squeeze the leather in the water to
remove the dirt, change the suds as
they become soiled, and rinse finally
in soapy water, for thus the leather
will lie soft when dry, whereas it
rinsed in clear water it would be stiff

LITTLE HINTS OF FASHION.

White designs on colored grounds
are the latest effects in fine handker-
chiefs.
The all-Elacll taffeta is an old
friend. but appears in new guise with
9uipure lace medallion instead of the
cloth, satin or velvet bands.
One of the most comforta BILE break
fast Jackets is of quilted silk, made
with a loose front and fitted back.
The rolling collar, sleeves and hors
der are embroidered with colored
silk.
A novelty is an evening blouse of
tucked chiffon made over silk, which
comes ready to wear in many light
shades. 1t is low-necked and sleeve
less, and has garniture of flowers
to match.
A new idea for weddings Is to have
the bridesmaids carry silk muffs,
trimmed with flowers, instead of bou-
quets. These muffs, which are of
extra large size, and match the hat in
| color, have double rufiles of silk at
the edge.
The fashion of decorating neck
wear with flowers has been revived,
and for this purpose a great variety
of small blossoms, including hello
tropes, vioiets and small roses, can
be obtained. These are fashioned in
tiny clusters at the side or back of
the stock collar or ribbon.
There has hardly been a season on
record when there has been so gen.
erous use of sachet powders. a
liberal supply is used in nearly every
article of the wardrobe. 1t is used
in the Innings of all frocks for
dressy occasions, and the latest
French ''wrinllle" is to stuff the hol-
low just at the front of the Shout
ders with bag in which there lies
n deal Of violet sachet.

VS. THE BEST MAN.
Reason For Selection of Crozier For
Chief of Ordnance.

Washington, June "A letter from Sec
rotary Root. replying to an inquiry from
Senator Cocl1reu as to why Capt Crozier
had been selected for chief of the ordnance
bureau in preference to many other Off
GERS of superior rank. says that the ap-
pointment was never sought by Capt. Gro
zier nor for him by his friends.
His appointment" the secretary says,
was recommended to the president by
me solely upon the evidence furnished by
his military record that he was the best
man in the ordnance corps to fill the place
and to do the work of the chief Of ord
nance"
The papers also include a personal state
ment from Capt. Crozier, in reply to IN
Quiries from Senator CoelSrell in which he
confirms the statement that he never had
sought the appointment either by personal
solicitation nor through friends. He con-
tends that his advancement from the
grade Of captain is not without precedent
and mentions many cases. including those
of Generals Bell, Wood, Grant and Funs-
ton.
General Crozier discusses at length his
connection with the disappearing gun car
riage. He says he has patents for two IN
ventions of ordnance material, disappear
ing gun carriage and d wire wound gun,
but that from neither of these patents has
he asked or obtained any profit from the

MAY GET SILK MONEY.
Congressman MilIer's Failure
Does Not End Matter.

Washington, June Although Rep
resentative Miller failed to secure the
passage of his bill appropriating $4,000
for conducting experiments at the Pea
body silk station during the ensuing
year, it is possible, after all, that the
government will set aside 1000 for this
purpose That amount may be taken
from the general appropriation of $1o,-
600 for experiments in silk culture in
the United States. and diverted to the
Peabody station.
At the beginning of this session of
congress MI Miller introduced a bill.
apprOpriating $40 600 for continuing the
experiments at Peabody, and made ev-
cry effort to procure favorable action.
The committee on agriculture, to
which the bill was referred refused to
recommend the passage OF the meas
ure, however, and it was accordingly
pigeon holed. This action was not
taken, though, until Representative
Scott had been authorized by the COM
mittee to say to the secretary of agri-
culture that it would be very crafty
ing to them if he could find 1t possible
out of the $4,000 carried in the general
bill for experim ents in silk culture, to
divert 81, 600 to be used in continuing
the work at the Kansas station. Mr..
Scott has taken the matter up with the
secretary Of agriculture, and although
the latter has not announced what ac-
lOn he Will take, there IS good reason
for believing that the plan viii meet
with his approval. The sum originally
asked for, S1O0 900, would have been more
acceptable to Representative Miller. but
as this cannot be secured, he viii rest
content with $1,000. and hope for better
luck next year.
It develops that George w Ellis, OF
Lawrence, has not been appointed sec
rotary Of the United States legation al
MonrOvia- Liberia South Africa, as was
announced in some of the Kansas pa
pers. He accompanied Dr.. Grassland,
the minister, to Liberia IN the hope that
the president would appoint him after
his arrival. Members of the Kansas del
egation have been asked to intercede
with the president in his behalf. Ellis
was formerly clerk in the census office
here, and was appointed through the
favor of Representative Bowersock. He
was a candidate for the legation secre-
taryship before leaving the United
States, and strong effort was made to
induce the president to appoint him. The
president, however, announced that he
would make no change, and that the
present secretary would retain his po-
sition.
Representative Scott called on the
president in behalf of several Twentieth
Kansas boys who are candidates for ap-
pointment to places in the regular army.
His interview with the president was
satisfactory, and it is probable that sew
eral of the applications now pending
will be favorably acted upon.

tells along the road
She returned his admiring gaze with
pleasant smile, and he mouoned to the
empty seat at his side and beckoned to
her. She quickly ran down the steps and
jumped into the buggy. As he started on
he addressed a remark to her about the
beauty of the day and she did not respond,
seeming not to have noticed that he had
spoken.
He tried again and this time she saw
his lips move and began a rapid-fire CON
versation with her fingers. He grasped the
situation in a minute and realized that he
was not going to have much fun in talking
with her inasmuch as he could not con
verse IN the deaf mute language. but he
gave her pleasant drive for nearly an
hour and took her back to the hotel, where
