Ruling As To Label On Blend

Plural and Singular Both Are Mis-

Goods.
THE WORDING OF THE LABELS

Washington, Dec. Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson today made the
following statement 81 relation 10
blended whiskies:
MANY letters are received by the
department making inquiries con-
corning the proper method of label
ing blended whisky. Manufacturers
are anxious to know under what con-
dition the words blended whisky or
WHISTLES may be used. The follow
ing quotation from one of these let
tiers presents a particular case of
definite character: On account of
the uncertainty prevailing in our
trade at the present time as to how
to proceed under the pure food law
and regulations regarding what will
be considered a blend of WHISTLES,
am taking The liberty of expressing
to you today two samples of whisky
made up a. follows: Sample A con-
tains 81 per cent. of Bourbon whis-
ky and 40 per cent. of neutral spir-
its. In this sample small amount
of burnt sugar is used for coloring
and a small amount of prune Juice is
used for favoring. neither OF which
increase the volume to any great ex-
tent.
"'Sample b contains 81 per GEN..
of neutral spirits and 40 per cent. of
Bourbon whisky. Burnt sugar is us
ed for coloring and prune Juice for
favoring. neither of which increase
the volume to any great extent"
THE question presented is wheth-
err neutral spirits may be added to
Bourbon whisky in varying quanti-
ties, colored and favored. and the
resulting mixture to be labeled
blended whiskies.' To permit the use
of the word Whistles in the describ-
ed mixture is to admit that flavor and
color can be added TO neutral spirits
.and the resulting mixture be labeled
whisky.
The department is Of the opinion
that the. mixtures presented cannot
legally be labeled either unblended
WHISTLES or blended whisky"

A Wife's Duties.

When a woman marries she under
taxes certain duties and should fill
them to the very best of her abilities.
Marriage was never intended to be
one-sided, though this fact seems
Oftentimes to be overlooked, but it
takes two to make contract.
On her part she should try and
spend her husbands funds TO the very
best advantage. Never to get into
debt.
To see that the home is always
clean and well ordered.
To make the servants do their duty
to the man who pays them.
To bring UP the children properly.
To keep them we'll fed, we'll clothed
and above all healthy in body and
mind.
.,ever to allow any waste in the
housekeeping department.
To see that all food is of good quail
ity, we'll cooked and set before the
possible.
Always to be clothed becomingly and
according to her station
In fact, to be the real head of the
home with wisdom far above rubies.
Caring for all, advising and direct
ire, all.
Not to forget the poor dumb beasts,
but TO see that they also have their
moat aOd drink opd chn1+ar That tho
children 90 not Misuse them.
Never to permit any neglect, cruelty,
waste or excess Of any kind.
To think more of things than peo-
pie and to avoid gossip and criticism
of her acquaintances.

The Key to the Situation.

Mark Twain has told many good
stories of himself, and the circum-
stances make it likely that he was the
original teller of the following. His
sense of humor would give the incident
its full value.
While at his summer residence he
prepared one evening to take a drive,
and expecting to remain out late, told
his hostler that he need not wait for
him. He instructed the man, however,
when he had finished his work to lock
the stable and place the key under a
stone, the location Of which Mr.. Glenn
ems described with much exactness.
When the humorist reached home az
ter his drive, he was surprised to find
that the key was not in the place Sc
lected. He was obliged to rouse the
hostler, who explained, as he started
for the missing key, Mr.. Clemens, 1
found better place to hide it"

What flinders Proposals.

The timidity of girl during a mans
proposal is apt to discourage him, and
in his f1utter he is inclined to believe
the maiden does not appreciate him as
he would like.
Especially so IL the proposal is a
somewhat premature one, and he has
not had ample opportunity of learning
for himself the dictates of her heart
This has sometimes an unhappy eff
feet. and the proposal may be with
drawn, conversation drifting into diff
fere t channel. Undue embarrassment
In girl at so critical a moment also
tends to furry the lover, so that he
experiences extreme difficulty in max
ing satisfactory proposal.
A girl of this sort never assists the
nroposal and all for the want of a
little self-possession. A labored declar-
alton Is sometimes delayed for great
length of time, to the displeasure of
both.

Buying a Mattress.

The housewife who starts out to buy
mattresses will of course go to the
most reliable place she knows, for no
piece of house furnishing offers such
temptations to unworthy dealers. Moth
ing is easier than to give hair mat
treSS n coating of superior hair while
the inside is of the worst quality,
knowing we'll that until the bed is
made over the fraud will not he dis
covered. Having found her honest
maker, the buyer will then be confront
ed with the question as to what quail
she will be assured, is the best (and
most expensive), then comes the gray
and then best black, and black. Now,
as matter of fact, the white hair is
not the best for wear. 1t looks very
attractive, but one does not gaze on
the interior of ones mattresses. 1t is
softer and mats" much more quickly
than does the black or even the gray
hair. While many Of us have learned
this fact from experience. we may not
all know the reason for it, which is
that the white hair is black hair
bleached, and that the bleaching proc
ess takes much of the spring out of the
hair The best black" hair. which
should mean all long name and tail
hair, will be found the most satisfac-
tory in the long run. Have the mat
tress neither too heavy nor too light.
If the former, bedmaking becomes a
burden. If the latter, the mattress will
have to be made over very frequently.

Must Have Fads.

eff a woman hasn't a fad, there's
something wrong with her." remarked
an observer Of mankind. "She's in
love, or out of it, or her liver is out Of
order
American girls are the greatest for
taking up new cults. Now, an English
girl settles down to doing one thing.
and sticks to it, and nothing short Of
an earthquake or a dynamite explo-
sion will turn her out Of the way of 1t.
but you just suggest to an Amer
lean girl that some new physical ex-
ercise will give her plump neck. or
reduce her hips or any other old thing,
and she will be nothing else for-well,
until the novelty wears of or some
thing else turns up.
Gust now it's boxing. Every box
ing master in town is rushed to death
with applications for instruction from
girls. Boxing, you know, is warranted
to do the impossible; consequently they
all want it.
But, then, after ell, suppose It's
just that variety and unexpectedness
about the girls over here which makes
them so attractive. You never know
where they're going to break out next"

now, or we shall all be ruinedr"
There was no installing the terror in
the poor woman's face; and he started at
once. They walked quickly over the
grass; but for all his hurry, Mr.. Nal
lett managed to ask two questions and
get two replies before they reached the
small door by which he had entered.
What sort of person was that Pau
line Polling, who lies buried thereY' he
asked.
She was a mere babe, only three
months old. She was born in the hos
pital of this town, long since abandoned"
"Merciful heavenr' exclaimed Mr..
Mallett, gazing az her in blank astonish
ment.
The woman was hurrying him along
the narrow passage, for every moment
now might lead TO discovery.
And its motherY he gasped.
WAS the beautiful fair lady for
whom Senior CASTELAR, took the view of
the grave just before she set out for
England"
And before Mr.. Mallett had recovered
from his last surprise he found himself

of conflicting thoughts.
"Pelling has by some means jumped
to the conclusion, or been led to it in
tentionally, perhaps, that his wife died
in this convent and is buried here, while
in truth it is his child's grave, and his
wife is still living; and, according to the
present aspect of affairs, Pelling's wife
and Pauline Mailing are evidently one,
And she, Pauline Mailing, or Polling, or
whatever she Is, is going TO be married
to Dornton tomorrow morning, and she
has one husband still living | wonder if
she knows that he is still alive? After
all, if this turns out true-and it looks
very like i'll shall resume my rightful
position at Mallingford, for this girl has
disobeyed the clause in Paul's will about
marrying without Summers consent
And that provides the motive for her
conduct. She knew, if her husband found
her, she would be compelled to resign
the estate. Well, she has played a sue
cessful game so far; it is my inning
now"
And that evening Mr. Mallett, who
had not been across horse for nearly
twenty years, rode the twelve miles of
execrable road that lay between Villa
Silentio and Bassilis, and prepared and
delivered personally several kilograms TO
be dispatched directly the office opened in
the morning.

Secret OF ararried Happiness.

SecTSt o. hn0rFle0 ifuDpincSSs
There is no doubt that there is far
too great a tendency on the part of
women to let marriage be the end. in
stead of only the beginning, of new
chapter in the book of personal expert
ence.. A man of 45 or 80 is very diff
ferent being from the same man at %.
He has very much wider outlook upon
life, different ideas, thoughts and am
billions. An ordinary woman has quite
as much intellectual ability, power of
observation, and deduction from the
facts of life especially with a hus-
bands more logical judgment to aid in
forming her OWN, and far greater
amount of insight and intuitive per-
ceptiOn, and there is absolutely no rea-
son why she should not grow and ex-
pand mentally as we'll as physically,
in the same interval of time as much
as the man, or almost as much; yet
nothing surprises one more than the
number of middle-aged matrons who,
mentally, ceased growing when they
entered upon married life They have
acquired certain amount of knowl-
edge and housewifely skill, founded on
experience and practice, which they
did not possess when they married, but
practically their minds, intellects, in
terests and ideas are not more ma
ture no deeper. no wider than were
those of the girl of 20 or Whereabouts
who blithely embarked upon life
long comradeship with the man she
loved! Is it any wonder that in the
course of years, with the difference be-
tween them ever widening and widen
ing they should drift apart? There is
one universal truth which women are
far too apt to forget or ignore Cat any
rate when young afterward, when
they have realized the truth Of this,
it is in nine cases out of ten too late
to be of any useD, but which is the
very keynote of happiness in married
life. 1t is that comradeship is the
only foundation for happy marriage :;
and how can two people remain COM
rades the mind Of one of whom re-
mains stationary while that of the 9th
er evolves and develops through years
of life, experience, thought, and con-
tact with other minds?

Health and Beauty Hints.

For tender eyes make an infusion of
one handful of cOrnfiOwers in a pint
of hot water. Let it stand one hour.
Strain and use either tepid or cold.
If you wish to do your hair very
smartly, braid it and put it up coronet
fashion. This is 1.-The thing" for the
fresh young face crowned by abundant
locks.
Don't cut the cuticle or any part of
the flesh around the nails. Don't pol
ish the nails too highly; they should
have only a natural gloss. Don't cut
the nails in points, but carefully arch.
Boiling vinegar as hot as can be
borne to the gum and cavity of an ach-
ing tooth will allay the pain. Use bit
of absorbent cotton to pack the tooth
cavity and apply until relief is OBJ
tanned.
Don't wash the hands oftener than
necessary; dry them thoroughly after
every washing. Don't wear gloves that
are size too small or that fasten too
tightly. This prevents free circulation
and makes the hands red.
For itching of the skin many skin
doctors recommend lotions of bromide
of potassium. The strength may be one
part of the salt in sixty parts of
water. 1t is not poisonous prepara-
ton, and may be tried without fear.

To Test Wool and Linen.

1t often happens that wooden goods
will be doctored with cotton. To dis
cover this there are several tests that
can be made. One is the match test.
BY applying a lighted match to a
sample of the goods, the manner in
which it burns will be evidence of its
genuineness.
Wool will burn slowly, while cotton
will GO like train of gunpOwder. An
other test is to unravel the threads,
and the cotton can then easily be de-
tected.
To the experienced buyer the feel
of linen is a sufficient indication of
the quality, but for those who lack
this knowledge there is an Old-fashion-
ed test which our grandmothers used
which Is unfailing to show if there is
cotton in the wool.
Dampen the finger and apply to the
surface of the linen fabric. If the
moisture is seen on the other side YOU
may know at once it is linen. If it is
slow in coming through, without doubt
there is an admixture of cotton. An
other method is to unravel the threads,
as in the wool test.

HOUSEHOLDS IN SUMMER.
Citizens of Seattle Who Live All Year
in Floating Mansions.

Citizens of Seattle Who Live All Year
in Floating Mansions.
Seattle people, although they have
no legitimate excuse for leaving town
in summer as people who live in hot
cities have, nevertheless prefer to
spice their lives with that variety
which keeps existence from becoming
fat. and so they build households and
go to the lake and various points on
the sound to live on the water that
they can see from almost every street
in town. says the Seattle Times.
Lake Washington has the largest
collection of households. Lying along
the beach from above Madison Park
to Leschi there are a great number Of
ent designs. With the trees Of the
shore for a background and the waters
of the lake for ones front yard, 1t Is
hard to imagine q more delightful 10
cation for summer home.
One of the most artistic and COM
Portable of the Lake Washington
households is the low. green bunga-
low owned by Mrs. c. III. Pomeroy. 1t
floats well out into the water, is
roomy and comfortable, and has q
sloping shingled roof stained green.
There is a very wide veranda in front
and at the sides, with a boXed-in rail
and porch gardens and is easily one
of the most satisfying places to pass
a summer evening that could be mag
ined. It's advantages are we'll appre-
ciated, for Mrs. Pomeroy has leased
it this season to number Of young
bachelors, who combine the joys Of
outdoor living with the necessary at
tention to business downtown.
There are two canoes slung up I'M
der the caves and many other evil
dences of an enjoyable time indoors
and out. The Pomeroy houseboat is
more deliberately furnished than are
most summer places of the kind and
resembles a permanent home in the
city, with its rugs, good pictures,
books and library furniture. There
is huge fireplace OF gray stone also,
which suggests winter comfort. Mrs.
Pomeroy uses her houseboat for her
winter residence when she is in town,
finding the winters on the lake as de-
lightful in many ways as are the sum-
mers.
W. A. Malloy has comfortable
houseboat, convenient to the car line,
double-decker, with the porch up
stairs. Mr.. Malloy's summer home is
also his all-the-year home, for he and
his family are others of the winter de-
voices Of the lake.
J. z. Chilberg's beautiful houseboat
at Eagle harbOr solves the problem
of comfort, convenience and elegance
combined with a life that is not only
as free as air, but is in the air itself.
His luxurious summer home IS the
most elaborate Of its type in these wa
tiers and lifts the development Of the
housebOat several notches. 1t was
built this year and lies behind Wing
point, at Eagle harbor. The first
floor is built like any house and is
ceiled with Washington wood. But
the whole Of the second floor is open
| to the sun andxair and is protected
when occasion Nquires by striped
awnings. 1t is hung with baskets OF
growing vines and with gay japanese
/ lanterns and from tall Flagstaff floats

Mind HOW HOu Laugh.

Isn't this curious thing, that laugh
ing may spoil your features? If you
laugh with the sides of your face, the
skin will work loose in time, and
wrinkles will form in exact accordance
with the kind of laugh you have. a
person who is accustomed to suppress
ing his feelings generally has deep
line running from each side of his
nose to the upper corner of his mouth,
which. in time extends to the chin,
forming the shape OF half-moon. The
scholars wringle forms on his brow,
while a schemer's wrinkles come around
his eyes. The mar who always wears
a Smirk viii have series of semi
circular wrinkles covering his cheeks.
