Bannerman has been busily engaged at
his house in Belgrave square, in the in

The present situation is certainly an

until their successors are appointed and
they hand over theier seals Of office.
Meanwhile, the prime minister is a lib

Duel of Words.
One lega! authority, Mr.. Danckwerts,
went so far, as to suggest in the king s
bench division that Sir Robert Finlay
was no longer attorney general. This
view was disclosed in a lively duel of
words between Sir Robert and Mr..
Danckwerts, during the hearing Of a
revenue case. Sir Robert objected to
Mr.. Danckwerts Interruptions and
Danckwerts, having obtained the ear of
the judge, said: .As. -. MI. .

the proportion Of old maids and old

Unionism and Its Influence

CHICAGO, June 2.-Professional
men and women of this city, in voicfng
their opposition and protest to the
unionizing of public schoolteachers by
the utilization of the Chicago Teachers
Federation with the Federation of La
Dor, declare that such a move degrades
the profession of teaching and places
the question before all the public
schoolteachers whether teaching in the
public schools is to be a profession or
merely job at so much a day.
1t is announced that the agitators in
the Chicago Teachers Federation who
brought about the utilization of that
organization with the Feredation Of
Labor are seeking to secure the coop
Grafton of the various labor organiza-
ton in opposing the reappointment of
members of the board of education who
have in any way interfered with eff
forts to dictate to the school board.
These agitators also desire to nave the
list of new appointes upon the board
of education submitted to the labor
unions for approval in order that the
pledges to the policy of labor unions
might besecured before such appoint
ment.
Some of the present members of the
Teachers Federation say that at the
regular meeting of the organization to
be held June 10, an effort viii be made
to separate the teachers from the Fed
Grafton of Labor, and to end the reign
of the radical ag tators in the organi-
cation. If the efforts fail wholesale
withdrawals from the organization are
promised.

CARE FOR YOUR GLOVES.

A Little ThoughtfuIness VIII Keep
Them Fresh . Long While.
do you realize that little thought
fulness will keep your gloves fresh just
twice as long?"
If you find stain on your new glove
clean it just as soon as you can. Do
not let it dry in and become a perma-
nent Disagreement. Dip a toothbrush
in gasoline and rub the glove until
clean, drying afterward on a bath tow
ell or piece of flannel.
A white glove should never be worn
more than once without cleaning. If
it is cleaned promptly after each wear
ing it can be used indefinitely, as the
spots do not become set.
Gloves can be saved in many little
ways and their term of usefulness pro-
longed. The handle of chatelaine bag
will wear a glove white, so it should
be carried on the wrist, and the tidy
girl uses her handkerchief to save her
gloves, particularly when boarding a
car, carrying an umbrella or drinking
glass of soda water or chocolate at 8
drug store.
In large cities dyers will clean gloves
In twenty-four hours for 10 cents q

gloves.
The tidy girl always washes her own
silk and lace gloves in summer and
takes particular pride in her washable
white kids. These gloves are both
practical and economical and may be
worn for a considerable length Of time
with careful handling in their launder-
ing. They should be washed on the
hands in tepid water and afterward
rinsed in several clear tepid waters
while still on the hand. Do not pass
the soap through the hands, but al
ways use the studded water. A drop or
two of ammonia In the second and last
rinsing waters will prevent the gloves
from becoming yellow. These washa
BILE gloves should be allowed to dry on
the hands. If removed while only
partly dry they will stretch out Of

Moderation in all things is the COM

the styles for all the world beside, but

How to DistinEuish Tender Beef.

Meat, to be wholesome, must come
from healthy animal; to be nutritious,
from a we'll nourished one. Much used
muscles absorb much food material,
making rich. juicy meat. This is, how
ever, tougher than that Of parts less
used, because the connective tissue and
fiber increase as well as the contents
Of the muscle tubes. The lean Of
good beef is firm, elastic and, when

are fine grained and we'll notified with

colored fat extends over the rib and

The street dress which sweeps the
sidewalk is a death breeder. If the
wearer Of this dress went out deliber-
ately to gather up the germs Of disease
and distribute them in her own home
and in the homes Of her friends she
scarcely could succeed better.
The woman with the train to her
dress goes downtown dragging the
pestilence making contrivance behind
her. OF course she holds it up some
times, but often it trails along in the
dirt, gathering into it's folds millions
of microbes of unnumbered breeds.
When she gets home again this wo-
man who conforms to the prevailing
fashions hangs her dress in a closet.
The closet no doubt is dark. The rays
Of the sun never penetrate it. Tuber

ease germs love the darkness. They
like to get away from the fresh air.
They gloat and flourish in this wo-

If the -four bin has been used or jar
out Of the kitchen cupboard or the pot
of coloring put them all back in their
places directly they are done with, so
that there Is plenty of space on the

amount Of trouble will be saved II they
are filed with hot water as soon as
they are emptied of their contents and
put on one side.
In preparing a meal always have the
table set at least half an hour before
dinner. Be, sure to think beforehand
how many hot plates, ETC.. whether
large or small, and what vegetable
dishes will be required and, dust these
well and get them thoroughly hot In
