Contractors Are Confident.

Notwithstanding the shortage In lum-
Der deliveries the building contractors ex-
press themselves as highly confident that
there will be no strike of their men, and
no tie-up in the building industry. In
this they are borne out by the state
ment of the business agents IF the va
rious building trades unions, which are to
the effect that no strike will be called
by any union on account of the delivery
of material by non-union men. In the
event of strike, however, by any num-
Der of men in the building trades union,
their walk-out will be their individual
act and will not be officially sanctioned
by the union, and men so quitting work
will not receive any strike benefits.
The May grand jury commenced today
an investigation into the strike. direct
ing its inquiry particularly to that fea-
ture which is said to involve the pay
ment of money for an attempt to bring
about settlement of the difficulty by
a number of the labor leaders. 1t was
also proposed to inquire into the exist
ence of an alleged black list against the
striking express drivers. The general
agents of the express companies were
subpoenaed, but all of them informed the
Jurors that they had no knowledge

PLATT IS UNRELtNTING

Chicago, May 29,-Renewed aggressive
ness on the part of the employers in the
teamsters' strike is expected on Wednes-
day. Taking advantage of the legal holl-
day, which will come tomorrow, plans will
be formed for extensively increasing the
amount of deliveries to be made from the
lumber districts. The downtown bust
ness houses where strikes exist have at
present about 400 unemployed drivers.
These they cannot use on account of the
inability of the police department to fur
nish protection for them, and on Wednes-
day these men will be sent to the firms
in the lumber districts which are in need
or drivers, and strong and determined
effort will be made to increase the volume
of business done in that section.
The lumber dealers had two hundred
teams in operation today. There was but
little disturbance during the day. and
none of the fights was sufficiently serious
to call for the interference of any large
body Of police.
Practically all of the Transfers employed
by the hardwood dealers in the lumber
district are now out and the soft lunl-
Der dealers are tied up comparatively
speaking, with the exception of one firm.

In Laundered Materials.

Freshly cleaned or laundered mulls.
laces and linens appeal to every
woman Of refinement far more than
richer materials and accessories that
can not be cleaned, and so it is more
than probable that the present reign
of lingerie accessories for run-about
shopping, travelling and gowns for
other than ceremonies or evening wear
will continue.
: Short skirts-and they seem to grow
shorter every week-with short Etons
having elbow sleeves and cut away
around the neck to a v-shaped section
of the white underblouse, or else
bodices gathered into a belt and with
elbow sleeve and deep VS. designed
to meet the new guimpe and under
sleeves fad, are seen on many fash
ioRnble women. Sometimes these
guimpes and sleeves are OF rich
crochet over some thin material. In
this case the undersleeves are tight
cuffs from the elbows to the wrists
and the stock attached to the guimpe
is high and is feather-boned.

Advice for Mothers.

When making baby's short clothes.
mothers will find it great saving if
they will do the following two simple
things: Make the neckbands of the
little dresses a tri1e larger than
necessary, then draw very narrow
tapes through. and when making the
sleeves cut them little longer than
required. and sew two horizontal
tucks below the elbow. If this is
done, as baby grows and his little
arms lengthen, the tucks can be let
out. and the string round his neck
need not be tied so tightly. In this
way the little dresses will last much
longer without being outgrown.
The Colorado statesman., 1905-07-29

Don't dry the face with a rough
towel if you want to keep the skin
smooth; :. instead use fine damask
one, and dab" the face with it. This
preserves the delicate appearance of
the skin.
For dry hair an effective wash is
one part glycerine to three parts rose
water. with five grains of salt of tartar
to about one-half pint of the lotion.
All lotions must be well shaken before
using.
Clean windows in damp weather
with little methylated spirit. and you
will have no difficulty in polishing
them.
Stains on the hands can be removed
by rubbing with salt moistened with
lemon juice.
A grease spot can be removed from
leather by applying little benzipe.
1t may make the surface dull, but you
can restore the polish with the white
of an egg.

The Ranchwoman.

The success of Mrs. w. N. Sherman
and the beauty of her hospitable home,
the famous Minnewawa ranch in Cali
fornia, should be an incentive to every
woman to hold fast to the home in
stinct while winning her way in the
business world. In the face of much
opposition and caustic comment Mrs.
Sherman, soon after leaving an east
ern college, bought large tract of un-
improved land near Fresno, deter
mined by her own efforts to develop
its possibilities.
Her success is indicated by the fact
that Minnewawa is valued at over FIVE
times the original investment. During
the busiest season there are over 400
people at work on the ranch and in the
cannery. Since discovering that by
personal oversight of the packing her
grapes brought from $100 to $500 more
per carload than when left to the su-
pervision of others, Mrs. Sherman
very sagely concluded that a woman
can be real helper, even though she
leave the care of the household to
some one else. Mrs. Sherman has not
confined her efforts to raisin growing
alone, but has a national reputation as
stock raiser and fruit grower.=Pil-

Actor Would Not Die,

Dutton Cook, in his Book of the
Play" tells an American stage anec-
dote of an English melodramatic act
Or with the pseudonym of Bill Ship
ton, who, enacting a British officer in
The early Life of Washington" got
SO stupidity intoxicated that when
Miss Cuff, who played the youthful
hero, had to fight and kill him in
duel, Bill Shipton wouldn't die; he
even said loudly on the stage that he
wouldn't.
Mary Cuff fought on until she was
ready to faint and after she had re-
peated his cue for dying, which was.
"Cowardly, hired assassin!" for tho
fourteenth time, he absolutely jumped
off the stage, not even pretending to
be on the point of death. Our indig-
nant citizens then chased him all
over the house and he only escaped
by jumping into the coffin which they
bring on in Hamlet" Romeo" and
Richard"

How to EIx silk STOCKINGS.

Who dances must pay the piper,
and who wears fine clothes must go
to trouble. And the purport of this
is that If you will wear silk stock
ings and can't afford a maid to wash
them for you, you'd better do it your
self. rather than send them out with
the ordinary wash.
Some experts say that delicate silk
and lace stockings should always be
cleaned with benzine. but benzine is
SO odorous that it should be used only
when absolutely necessary, and here
1t is not. The most cobwebby quail
lty will come out whole and unstreaked

Picked Cherries

Picked cherries are the most de-
hcious of relishes, and one that can
not be purchased for love or money.
For this purpose select large, rather
tart, cherries with the stems on, wash
and pack into fruit jars. making them
about three-quarters full. Bring to
scald one quart of cider vinegar, one
cupful of white sugar, two dozen
whole cloves and twelve blades of
mace, with a few pieces of stick Gin
ramon. Cool and pour over the cher
ries, screw the tops on tightly and
keep in a cool, dark place.

once take place.
Yellow flowers are not changed by
this process, but white ones usually
turn to a yellow or a deep orange
tone.
The action of the fluid is almost in
stantaneous, and you may vary the
experiment by sprinkling some flowers,
instead of dipping them, which will
give a spotted effect.
Somewhat similar results may be
produced by using ammonia only, but
the process is a longer one.

Suspender Erock.

The suspender frock is pretty and
practical enough to hold its own
throughout the season. One costume
of this sort is a trifle less infantile
than the regulation suspender models.
1t is made of soft-finish taffeta in
small box plaits all around fiaring
from knee depth. A short, jaunty bo-
lero with wide collar and straps gives
an exceedingly chic effect; these are
embroidered in self-tone silk. The

cuff matches the lingerie blouse worn
under the jacket.

SOME CURES FOR INSOMNIA.
The Victim Of DisagreeabIe TroubIs
Must Study Himself.


Lying awake is often a habit. It is
worth almost any effort to break up
such a habit, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer
Insomnia is usually the result of one
of three things-poor circulation, in
digestion or mental distress. The
person who studies himself carefully
will be able to locate the difficulty and
treat himself accordingly.
For poor circulation try warm baths.

soaking the feeting and deep breath.
ing.
For indigestion take warm drink
before retiring or when sleepless.
Drink warm water, warm milk, weak
tea or cocoa and breathe deeply.
For mental distress mere will power
is the best. Close the eyes and as fast
as the thoughts come drive them out
Carry on in the mind house-cleaning
process.
Sweet sleep and plenty of it will
go a great way toward keeping women
young. When sleep departs wrinkles
come.
1t is by sleep that we gain strength
for another day. Sleep is to the brain
and nerves what food is to the body.
Here are a few simple, tried rules
for driving away insomnia:
Go to bed warm. Never go to bed
with cold feet.
If the events of the day have been
trying. read a short, light story be-
fore retiring.
Leave the window down at the top
and protect the bed from drafts.
AS soon as the body touches the bed
relax the muscles, shut the eyes and
make ready to sleep. Nothing drives
away sleep more quickly than the
thought that one can't sleep.
