Notes for Women
Dustless Streets

Why not try the new chemical
called 'alkonia' for sprinlsling the streets
instead of water?" said a lady who had
had experience Of the oleaginous sub
stitute for water in other cities. IT read
of a report made by George Horton,
consul at Athens, in which he told Of
the virtues Of this chemical for street
sprinkling. one ton OF akonia, dis
solved i'm 500 gallons OF water, will
sprinkle third Of a mile OF streets,
making them dustless by means of a
coating for at least fifteen days. The
next sprinkling need only be slight,
and if the weather Is damp will not
be necessary for long time. Dust
less streets are what every house
keeper prays for"

A Footbath in Bed

When an invalid is lying in bed a
footbath may be given under the bed
clothes, and often proves soothing and
will even induce sleep when other RENE
dies prove of no avail. The patient
lying on the back, bends the knees
up, and the feet are then immersed
in the footbath up to the ankles. To
dry them a towel is held above the
footbath and the feet are received in its
folds while the bath is withdrawn.

WHY TAYLOR DID
PITCH In SERIES
Begged to Pitch Against SOx
But Manager Chance
Said Nay

Half the critics have roasted Managed
Chance because he did not pitch Taylor
against the sox. and nearly all the other
half have insinuated or said that Taylor
was afraid to face his cid foes.
The truth is that there were not two
worse disappointed persons in Chicago
than Taylor and Chance when the brake
man did not pitch. The reason Taylor did
not work during the series was that the
thumb Of his pitching nand was knocked
back over the wrist in u game with Bos-
ton almost a month before the season
closed and the injured member refused
to heal. Twice during The last month Of
the season Taylor pitched exhibition
games. but pitched with mis- fingers alone,
being unable to grip the BAN with his
thumb at all.
He reported to Chance that he was all
right, but the manager watched him too
closely. He begged Chance to let him
pitch against the Sox but Slough Foot -
knowing it would mean almost certain
defeat under the circumstance, refused.
