Judge Beer By
Its True Worth
Progressive Men and Women Consider
It a Means to National Temperance.

We have recently published n num-
Der of articles on the food value of
beer, and we believe that sooner or
later beer will be recognized at it's true
worth, as a food beverage of splendid
tonic effect and high nourishing value.
Noted men and women of this country
are already alive to the situation and
besides Miss Phoebe Cousins and DR..
Joseph Feisler of Northwestern Uni
versity, many others of note give their
endorsement to beer as a means to ma
tional temperance.
Miss Cousins, for quarter of a CEN
fury the most eminent woman suf-
frage advocate in the West, said in a
recent interview: There never will be
a law that will compel prohibition, and
the sensible thing for the Women $
Christian Temperance Union to do is
nourishing drinks like beer, which sell
dom produces drunkenness. A promi-
nent army officer who served in the
Southwest, operated canteens at three
different posts. He made the canteens
SO acceptable to the soldiers, who
found beer satisfying their demands.

Body Found in River-The body of
William Kistenmacher, a man probab-
ly 40 years of age, was discovered
floating down stream yesterday in the
river at the foot Of Harrison street. A
number of men were fishing at the
time off the sand barges in THAI locality
when they noticed the body. They Sc
cured a skiff and towed the body
ashore. after which it was taken to the
Boies undertaking parlors. Al the I'M
dertaking parlors. the body was identi-
fed as that of William Kistenmacher
who boarded with the Christianson
family on Swits street, in the old fire
district. Kistenmacher had been
drinking heavily of late and during the
night is stated by his roommate TO
have arisen several times and caused
IA disturbance under the hallucination
that the police were after him. He
is thought to have left the house about
3 O'Clock in the morning. and a little
over two hours later his body was
found floating down stream. The man
evidently jumped into the river some
distance above the government bridge,
as his hat was found there. He was
fully dressed when found with the eX-
ception of a coat and vest which he
was not accustomed TO wearing during
the summer months.

WOMEN CHESS PLAYERS.
Why None OF Them Is Mentioned II
the Annals of the Game.

Why None OF Them Is Mentioned In
the Annals of the Game.
Ladies' chess clubs are being estab-
lished in various parts of the country;
special inducements are held out for
their patronage by the promoters of
national and international tournaments,
and articles on the game appear regu-
larry in journals which cater specially
to them. Women have always played
probably never TO the same extent as
now. 1t is, therefore, remarkable that
ia the whole of its enormous literatu
there does not appear the name of
any woman among the stars of the
first, second or third magnitude. One
may go through volume after volume
containing thousands of games and not
find n single one played by women
which any editor thought worthy of q
permanent record.
When the question has been raised
before, it has been involved with that
of the intellectual superiority of one
sex over the other. Today the answer
to this would be totally Inadequate
and inconsequential. There are men in
the front rank of players at the pres
ent moment who by no stretch of the
Imagination or the term can be said to
occupy their position on account of ex-
ceptionally intellectual endowments.
While the game always appeals to in
tellectual men and women, intellect is
not the only factor which makes the
great player.
A careful examination of the games
of players whom the world recognizes
as great reveals the fact that the fac
ulties and qualities of concentration,
comprehensiveness. impartiality and.
above all, spark of originality, are
to be found in combination and in va
rying degrees. The absence of these
qualities in woman explains why no
member of the feminine sex has occu-
pied any high position as a chess
player.
There are many women who are ear
nest students of chess whose knowl-
edge of the theory, principles and all
the accouterments of the game is phe-
nomenal. But mere knowledge can
make nobody great. Taking results.
good judgment is much superior to
knowledge imperfectly applied.-Lon-

TRAVELLING HAT BAGS

Silk hat bags are very popular
among travellers for protecting hats
from cinders and dust on trains. Black
taffeta or China silk is much used,
but the prettiest ones are made Of pom
gee, which is broad and easily washed.
These usually have initials or mon
ogram embroidered in the center of
one side. A hat bag should be at least
three quarters of a yard square, to
give ample room for the hat when the
bag is drawn up by a ribbon. It makes
a nice gift for friend about to take
a journey. Accompanying it there may
be velvet hat brush, which will
prove of the greatest convenience. To
make the brush, cut two pieces of vel
vet about six inches square, lay them
together with a piece Of lining ma
terial between, and bind with ribbon,
finishing with loop for hanging. One
piece of velvet should be black, for
use on dark materials, and the other of
dainty pink or blue shade, for brush
ing delicate colors. Larger squares Of
velvet may be used for making a
clothes brush in the same way. The
soft nap Of the velvet will remove dust
and even spots more readily than
whisk broom will do. This little sub
stitute FOR brush is of light weight
and requires very small space in the
handbag.

THE ART OF MENDING

Mary Taylor-Ross, in an article on
new ideas for the sewing room in the
June Housekeeper, suggests the revival
Of an old-fashioned method Of fine
mending. She says: ~ g.. d. ~.
Did you ever try mending Jagged
tears in coat or jacket with hair
human haira Well, try it, before you
exclaim in your doubt as to the out
come. You know, long ago, mending
used to be work of, art. Clothes
were much harder to get, and once OBJ
tanned, every care was given them un
til they literally went to pieces. Some
one who lived in those days-a dear
old lady-taught me to mend with
hair, and the torn place on my jacket,
or what had been torn place, became
a matter of pride, because the mend
ing was the best kind of art-useful.
place the torn spot in an embroi-
derry hoop, if possible, and then take
long hair, from a head of brown or
black hair, and darn with very, very
fine needle back and forth, taking up
threads away beyond the tear on both
sides. Press the spot with warm fiat
iron, after dampening it slightly, on
the wrong side, and it is finished.
"The embroidery hoop is useful for
mending tears in the legs of hosiery, a
dropped stitch in tdrop-stitch stock
ings being taken up easily in the hoop.
Handkerchief, napkins, table linen
and tears in dresses and aprons can all
be patched without a wrinkle if the
goods is first stretched in the hoop"

WHAT A WAITRESS KNOWS

A servant should not ask guest to
have second portion of any dish, but
should bring it at once if asked.
In the family circle the mistress of
the house is served first, then the
daughters according to their ages, the
master of the house, and the sons ac-
cording to their ages.
When a large dinner party is given
the guests should be helped in the
order in which they are seated, COM
mencing with the lady seated at the
hosts right hand.
When fork or spoon is asked for,
it should not be handed on waiter,
but placed on the right or left hand
as required.
AS little noise as possible should be
made and all clatter with knives, forks
and plates be avoided.
In placing anything on or taking
anything off a table servant should
never reach across a person seated at
the table,, however hurried the servant
may be or however near at hand the
article may appear, but should walk
quietly to the left side Of each person
when about to place or remove an ar
ticle.

Blue brilliantine makes up into ex-
ceedingly smart and practical bathing
suits. Black peau de sole is the cor
rect, up-to-date material, however, but
as this must be of an exceedingly. good
quality, it is for that reason beyond
the average pocketbook. My idea
would be full skirt and baby bodice Of
the blue brilliantine, the former trimmed
above the hem with band Of blue and
white polka-dot goods, the belt to be
also Of the dot, while the top Of the
waist will be gathered into deep
band forming square neck with more
of the polkadot. Puff sleeves will
show band cuffs Of the trimming ma
terial, while the stockings will be plain
blue, and the belt and cap bright red;
that is, if you prefer striking effect,
otherwise, wear cap and belt of polka
dot. It will not be necessary to shrink
the material before making up, because
bathing suits are never made to fl
the form closely.
You can wear gray, tan, brown, pale
and navy blue, warm reds, yellow
cream and blue gray. Certainly your
questions were not too many.
