otherwise looks fresh and clean. The

By being your own workman you
may at trifling expense make the

same color and good sized brush.
Cut eight or ten inch pieces of yellow
soap into bits and put it over the fire
to dissolve In couple Of quarts Of
water, says the Chicago Tribune. Fill
the bathtub with hot water and throw
in a generous handful Of powdered
borax and the dissolved soap. When
the water becomes cool enough to put
the hands in, scrub the surface with n
brush, letting the water run off us the
work is done. Again partly fill the
tub with hot water and scrub with the
brush and sand soap to make sure that
NIL greasy particles have been removed.
Then rinse 1t i'll clear hot water and

Cover it with two cpatings of the

HOW to kecp orr wrinkle.,

1t Is highly important that CRIME ac-
cumulated in the day should be re-
moved before lying down. Neglect Of
this rule will cause sallowness and
blackhcads. The face should be washed
with hot water and soap, be rinsed IN
many waters and be dried thoroughly
Next, a really good skin food, quite
free from wax, spermaceti and salted
lard and containing little or no glycer-
In. may be applied. If liquid. it
should be brushed over the parts. If
more solid, it should be gently spread.
Any massage below the eyes or at
the eye corners is sure to make wrin-
kles. a brush has marvellous effect
on the softer skin lines.

DyeinE Garments Mt Home.
The garment to be dyed must first
Of all be absolutely clean. Whether it
Is silk, wool or cotton it must first of
all be washed with soap and rinsed in
clear water afterward. The dye must
be boiling, and the goods to be dyed
must remain in the boiling liquid for
twenty minutes or half an hour. Chif-
fon takes dye beautifully. So do wool
Ell goods. SILK is harder to do and
sometimes only takes in spots. But
still by seeing that you get the proper
dye Tor each kind of goods and by fol-
lowing the instructions implicitly you
will often get results far beyond your
expectations. One of the points is to
keep the article to be dyed moving
the whole time it is in the liquid, and
then the color Is sure of reaching every
part. OF course a small wooden stick
must be used for this purpose to avoid
soiling the hands.

Subsidy va Equality.

,y A II. McCook, Secy Iowa Democr. tic Clubs.
Like the tainted money contro-
.versy, Mr.. Carnegie's gift Of $l0,-
100000 in steel trust bonds as a
.und for college professors who have
,ullived their days Of usefulness, is
exciting much adverse criticism and
also some that is favorable.
1t is unnecessary for the present
to question MIR. Carnegie's motives,
but what Of the influence and ulti-
nate consequence of these annuities?
Next TO Rockefeller, MIR. Carnegie
is the greatest beneficiary of the
trust system. There is already too
mnch trust and corporation domina-
ton in the educational work of our
colleges and universities, and the
influence Of prospective annuities
will hardly increase the professors
opposition to these industrial mons
tiers. Rather may we not expect
them to invent new excuses and apol-
ogies for monopoly's greed and
avarice.
The argument is made that teach
ors are underpaid, and that conse-
guently the pension is deserved.
Teachers are underpaid, but the
remedy should be an increase Of
salary rather than pension-at
least until the aged common laborel
is provided for in some way; and
then the government, and not in.
dividuals who have accumulated
millions as result of unjust laws
should grant the pensions.
With an equitable industrial sys
tenn there would be no Rockefellers
and Carnegies who, like parasites
fatten at the expense of less fortu
nate members Of society.
Better than this system of unequa
distribution which breeds financia
princes and paupers, would be th'
strict enforcement Of the cardina
principal of Democracy "Equa
rights to all, special privileges t.
none" This, while preventing th'
accumulation of colossal fortunes b.
our captains of industry" woule
give to the private in the ranks o
the industrial army a just proper
ton of his production.
Between socialism and monopol.
there is happy mean, and when j
is reached all will be rewarded il
proportion to what they do for 50
ciety. When fair play and equalit,
become universal, the problems Q
tainted money pensions and me
nopolistic charity will disappear.
Democracy's great mission to tn
( world is to abolish subsidies an
