a sick room through day and night
if need be, even with fire in the
room. Put the saucer holding the ice
in soup plate and cover it with an
other, then place the soup plate thus
arranged on good, heavy pillow and
cover it with another pillow, press
ing the pillows so that the plates are
completely imbedded in them. The
paragraph adds that one of the best
ice shavers is an old jackplane set
deep. 1t should be turned bottom

Several years ago an agitation was
started to do away with the govern
ment printing Office. There is no
doubt that lots of the stuff printed at
public expense is not worth the paper
wasted upon it; but the critics fail to
take cognizance of the fact that if the
same stuff were given out to outside
printers, under a government con-
tract, it would cost fully 25 per cent.
more. AS long as congressman will
talk, they will insist upon seeing their
names in print, and government sci
enlist and eNperimenters consider
themselves entitled to a general circu-
lation of their bulletins. A great
country like ours cannot afford to be
stingy in the printing BILL nor can the
government give too wide publicity to
the utterances of its statesmen and
the essays of its men of science.
There may be lots of chaff, but occa-
sionally a grain of wisdom is scat
tered abroad by means of government
reports which enlightens the public or
brings prosperity within reach of

proud of the government establish

Knitting ms a Medicine.

Knitting is declared by specialist
in the treatment of rheumatism to
be most helpful exercise for hand,
liable to become stiff from the com
plaint, and it is being prescribed by
physicians because of it's efficacy in
limbering up the hands of such suf'
ferers. For persons liable to cramp
paralysis or any other affection OF
the fingers of that character knit
ting is regarded as most bene'
fetal exercise. Besides the simple
work is said to be an excellent di
version for the nerves and is recom
mended to women suffering from in
somnia and depression. In certain
sanitariums patients are encouraged
to make use of the bright steels, and
the work is so pleasant that it il
much enjoyed by them.

colors; and although the originals
of the illustrations were not in the
possession of the Office until three
o'clock p. m. of March 2s, and the
manuscript of the text was not re-

In planning the new printing Office
the architect, by the advice of the pub
lie printer, has paid particular atten-
ton to light and ventilation. Light is
supplied by thousand windows, many
of which face a spacious inner court,
with additional ventilation from a
complete exhaust system. Heat is
supplied by the latest system of di-
rcct-indirect steam.
Architecturally the building is one
of the finest specimens of the steel

which represents weight of 6OOo
tons, is completely covered by fire.

used for dadoes around the room walls
and for lining stair and elevator wells
and toilet rooms. The edifice will con-
tain 11S,0O0 square feet of granolithic

be cast iron, and this metal will also
be employed for door and window

HEALTHFUL WOMEN.
No Others Are Prepared, Physicnliy

No woman can be considered
beautiful unless the tint of health
glows on her checks. Despite the
volumes that have been written, and
the efforts of distinguished lecturers
to make our American sisters a ro-
bust, healthy set of beings, physical
ly and mentally prepared for the
varied duties of wife, mother and
friend, the means of the invalid still
greet our ears, and the numbers of
pale, emaciated females about us give
evidence that the field is large and
that workers are still needed.
What can we do with this genera
ton but administer to their woes,
and trust to the endeavors of the
wise to effect a change in the daugh-
ters who are to fill our places in the
future.
How few young girls realize that
If they would devote some of the

covet would crown their labors, and
that not only in freedom from bodily
suffering would they reap their re-
ward, but the sparkling eye and
blooming cheek would exist no longer

tion, four years ago, and they will
be quite at home in the larger So
cial sphere at Washington. The pub
lie functions of the Shaw admins
tration have not been equaled in
magnificence by those of any other
administration in late years. At the
beginning of Gov. Shaw's first term
Mrs. Shaw inaugurated a series OF
Legislative receptions, which were
highly appreciated by the wives and
daughters of members of the general
assembly.
Mrs. Shaw is not a club woman,
but she took delight in meeting as
far as possible all the social demands
made upon the first lady of the state.
She inclnes toward practical chari-
ty and does much in aid of socie-
ties of this character. Personally,
she is a gracious, lovable character,
and the wife of no governor has ever
been more popular with the people
| of Des Moines than she. 1t has been
the practice of Gov. Shaw to sub
NIT to her political questions per-
| sonal to himself and to be guided
/
whose word depended the securing
| by Iowa of the treasury portfolio
talks politics only to her husband
and never in public. She appears to
be a purely domestic woman and yet,
according to the public admissions of
Gov. Shaw, she has had much to do
with advancing his political fortunes.
The Shaw family consists of two
daughters-Enid, aged 81; Erma,
aged 16-and a son, Earl, aged 1s.
Enid entered society toward the end
of her fathers first term as gov
ernor. She has one more year in
Cornell college, when she will either
go abroad or enter Vassar. Erma en-
tered the schools of Denison in Sep
tenber, when arrangements were
made for the return of the family to
their home on the expiration of the
gubernatorial term; and Earl is at.
tending a military academy in Indi.

Mrs. Shaw and the children were
in their apartments in the Victoria
on Christmas day, when the public
was awaiting the decision of the ia.
ther on the question of accepting
place in President Roosevelt's cabi-
net, and each was asked what was
thought of the proposition to remove
to Washington. Mrs. Shaw prompt.
ly declared that it had been her wish
they might return to Denison, where
carpenters and decorators have just
completed the work of placing the
old home in shape for comfortable
occupancy, but she left it clear that
if Gov. Shaw should feel willing to
undertake further public labors she
would meet as best she might the
duties which her new position as 0
cabinet officers wife would entail
Miss Enid said it mattered less to heI
than to the others, for the reason she
would be abroad or at Vassar, but
she would enjoy Washington on great
occasions, when she hoped to be able
to be there. Miss Erma shared the
desire of her mother for return
to the old home in Denison. Master
Earl's answer was that his father.
