The Democrats are all for harmony
now. At the convention the other
day every possible effort was made
to bolster up Tom Taggart's stir.
The chief cry was, What If Taggart
is a gambling house keeper? He Is a
mighty good fellow anyway" Nice
sentiments for the Democratic party
to place before the voters of the sixth
district and then expect them to sup
port Taggart's man, the Rev. Kuhn.

President Roosevelt's fame as a re.
former increases every day. The cit.
liens of our little sister republic at
Panama are appealing to him to use
his influence to procure for them a
pure ballot. When he gets through
with the Beef Trust, the Standard Oil
Trust, the Railroad Trust, and the
hundred and one other trusts, maybe
he will have time to help Panama get
a square deal" at the polls.

Practical Diagnostic Sign of Death.


DR.. OFT of Lillebonne Through Jour
nal des sciences medicales de Lille)
suggests the following practical and
simple method of ascertaining whether
or not life is present: The point select
ed is the forearm. which is quickly ac-
cessible, is free from hair and is easily
exposed. The arm is extended horizon
tally from the body and the forearm
pronated. If the test is made in the
open air a cloak Is held so as to shield
the part from all motion of the atmos-
phere The flame Of candle is now
directly applied to a spot on the fore
arm, which is closely watched by the
observer. At the end Of few seconds
a swelling rapidly forms and bursts.
If it contains air or gas the tissues are
.ifeless. If it contains liquid or exuda-
ton life is present.

UNCLEANLlNESS IN
HANDLING PRODUCTS,

An absence of cleanliness was X
also found everywhere in the x
handling of meat being prepared X
for the various meat-food pro- x
ducts. After killing, carcasses X
are washed, and to the time they X
reach the cooling are handled in
a fairly clearly manner The x
parts that leave the cooling room X
: for treatment in bulk are also x
handled with regard to cleanli- x
ness, but the parts that are sent X
to those departments of the pack X
ing houses in which various X
forms of meat products are pre- X
: pared are handled with no regard ,;
whatever for cleanliness. In x
some of the largest establish X
ments sides that are sent to what X
is known as the boning room x
are thrown in a heap upon the X
floor. The workers climb over
these heaps of meat, select the X
pieces they wish, and frequently X
throw thew down upon the dirty X
floor beside their working bench. x
Even in cutting the meat upon X
: the bench, the work is usually X
held pressed against their aprons, X
: and these aprons were, as rule, X
indescribably filthy. They were X
made in most cases of leather or );
of rough sacking and bore long ;:
accumulated grease and dirt. In X
only a few places were suitable X
oilcloth aprons worn. Moreover, X
men were seen to climb from the X
floor and stand, with shoes dirty x
with the refuse of the floors, on X
the tables upon which the meat X
was handled. They were seen at X
; the lunch hour sitting on the tab X
: les on the spot. on which the \
: meat product was handled, and \
: all this under the very eye of the
uperintendent of the room, \
: showing that this was the COM X

FASHION MiNTs

Both big and little hats are seen,
but none of medium size.
Velvet ribbons are used to very
great extent at this moment for the
trimming of hats, in bows, rucnlngs
and rosettes.
White gloves for day and evening
are more than ever the rage, and
there is a new shade of very palest
lemon kid with black stitching, which
is very smart.
The smartest handkerchiefs, for
using with tailor-made frocks are of
plain white, with a hemstitched Dor
der of colored lawn to match the color
of the dress; while there is a revival
of lace handkerchiefS for evening
wear
Sleeves will be short. They will be
made in a thousand ways-of lace
frills and ruffies; with cuffs and with
out-but whatever else they are they
will be short.
Many Of the newest coats for girls
are made in three-quarter length.
Empire shape, with yoke arranged
to give a short-waisted effect, both
back and front, and either stitched
and strapped, or trimmed with wide
silk braid. Below this coat the yoke
hangs loosely, both back and front
Other coats, again, are made to fit
the figure quite closely, and when
these are well cut, so that they give
long-waisted effect, they are very
becoming. AS rule, they are finished
with quite long basques, reaching al
most to the knees. In the case OF
girls who are still growing, however,
a looser style of coat is more sensible,
and far more comfortable in every
way The double-breasted REFER coats,
with semi-ftting backs, can scarcely
be improved upon for girls coat and
skirt costume, to be worn over
simple flannel blouse, and with a per-
fectly plain skirt.

She leaves getting down on her knees

saves infinite labor after the grease,
sugar and meat juices have hardened

So deity does she handle things
tina she can get a dinner from start
to finish and her apron, dress, and
hands are as clean and her kitchen
as orderly when she is through as
when she began.
Household work is not dirty if prop

it's not being so is in having the
proper things at hand, especially when
cooking. The holder and fresh towel

Six Gored Skirt With an Applied Box
Plat Over Each Seam 5299

The skirts of the season make an
interesting study and are graceful and
attractive and charming in the ex-
IRENE. This one gives long slender
and becoming lines to the figure while
at the same time it Is abundantly full.
In the illustration it is made of dot
ted eolienne, pale green in color, sim
ply stitched with belding silk, but it
will be found desirable for every light
weight material, those of the immedi-
ate present and also those of the COM
ing warmer weather. The tucks give
it sufficient weight to render it de-
sirable for the thinest and lightest
possible stuffs while they also make
effective trimming.
The skirt is cut in six cores with
a box plat at each seam. The cores
are tucked in groups at their upper
and lower edges and the box plaits
are applied over them from the upper
edge to slightly below the hip line
and are joined to their edges below
that point The closing is made in

WISDOM FOR THE KITCHEN.

The lady in the kitchen will not
sacrifice her hands where 1t is pos
sible to give them protection, and if a
trained worker she has many little de-
vices for quick accomplishment, order,
and saving herself. Over her sink are
half dozen implements to make dish
washing handy, the small mop for
glasses, the larger one for dishes, the
little whisk broom for custard kettles
or the saucepan in which milk has
been scalded, the wire dishcloth for
the mush kettle and the glutinous
things which in spite of soaking adj
here tenaciously And there are the
sand soap and the little match to the
vegetable brush, both of which are
needed for the iron pan in which there
has been both little frying and a
little thickening. To clean the sink
there is the common scrubbing brush
with faring hristles to touch the cor
ers--only this is kept half size.
She is not disturbed by what is said
in abuse Of the mop, but knows that
If the much malinged mopstick is fur
nished with soft, spongy, half wooden
and half cotton cloth that can be easily

when tired. 1t is a mistake to work
when not in a fit condition for
the work and worse for you.
After long standing or running
about battle the feet with vinegar and
warm water. The effect is wonder

Don't neglect sleep. You can sleep
yourself into good looks. A long nap
and hot bath will make any woman
more attractive and lift years from
her shoulders.
Don't forget that the nurses of a
woman's beauty are seven-fresh air,
sunshine, warmth rest, sleep, food and
whatever stirs the blood, be it exer-
else or enthusiasm.
1t is not generally known that the
hands depend upon the state of health
for beauty quite as much as the COM
plexion, but it is fact The hygienic
laws recommended for the improve
ment of the skin will all be found good
and necessary for the hands. In ad-
dition, few helps along this line of
outside application will be needed,
more especially by those who work.
Continued overindulgence in the
sweets is quite certain to give rise to

ace to law and order, to the safety of life and
from it. 1t is not an organized society, with an
individual head a governing board, roll of
members treasury, a common cabalistic code, etc.
1t is the popular name for body of about twenty
five thousand Italian criminals organized in gangs
wherever there is much Italian population. There
may be one gang in colony, or there may be
twenty The object of each gang is its imme-
date benefit, financially politically, and otherwise
and the only national form of organization is the
mountaineering and freemasonry among the
leaders The principal man in each gang, the capo,
has usually been in a gang in Italy in New York

gang now heads of murderous groups elsewhere,

fourteen years the Sicans plotted vengeance under
