SATURDAY, MAY rs, 1907.

1t is really amusing to read of the
suddenly awakened interest on the part
of saloon keepers for better regulation
of saloons in this city. Did anybody
ever hear of this interest until after
the message of the Mayor urging a
higher license for the future. If city
Aldermen cannot understand now, that
the people of Montgomery favor strict
er regulation, more scrutiny into char
acter of those who obtain license, and
higher price for license, they Will
learn not only to their sorrow but to
the injury of Montgomery, when the
city is thrown into the excitement and
turmoil of a dispensary or prohibition
campaign. 1t is not to the advantage
of Montgomery to have such a con-
test, but 1t will come If the number
of saloons is not lessened, put into
more restricted territory, and stricter
compliance with the law enforced. 1t
is, up to the Aldermen whether or not
such a contest as can be avoided Is
opened up In Montgomery.

Plain Talk to the President.

Chicago TrIDUHe.s
We earnestly wish that President
Roosevelt would attend more strictly
than he does to the duties which he
was elected to perform. The chief
duty intrusted to him was the execu-
ton of the laws, not the making OF
the laws. and still less the nomination
of his successor. The Republican par
ty would like to have something to
saw about the nomination of Roose-
veits successor. 1t does not like to
see him put up a combination of office
holders, most of whom owe their places
to the President, and all of whom look
to him for patronage to promote their
nolitical ambitions.

One of the most curious clocks IN

geyser which shoots out an immense

SUEDE. LISLE, AND SILK
GLOVES IN ALL COLORS WORN
DIX Not So Durat as the Lise-White Gloves More
Striking and Effective Than CoIors to
Match Gowns.

Gloves are undoubtedly one Of the
most expensive items In woman's
wardrobe, so That the averaRe-the one
who must keep up a smart appearance
on a modest amount OF pin money-is
ever on the watch for special prices in
up-to-date goods. reductions on account
of broken sizes, and. in fact. is always
trying to get the best value FOR the
sums spent.
The backward condition of the wealth
er has forced sales in almost every line
of wOman's wear, with the exception of
gloves. These. being staple, hold their
own prices. and special reductions may
not be looked for until the end OF the
season, when perhaps merchants viii
find themselves overstocked with sum-
mer varieties. However, as women can
not wait until this period of time the
next best thing is TO invest their money
wisely, choosing what is stylish as far
as is within their means and with due
regard to wearing qualities.
SILK is cool. but cannot be said to be
very durable. despite double finger tips,
and hitherto the choice has been be-
tween the silk and the Isle thread.
Many fastidious women reject the latter
entirely, though well aware that Isle
thread gloves give good service. How
ever, this year there should be really
no objection to this fabric. for improve
mentS have been so great along this
line that now, once the glove is on the
lano, there is very little perceptible
difference between isle and suede kid

The Making of Starch

There are two ways OF making starch,
and II is Just a question OF convenience
, and suitability which would be best.
One kind Is called boiled starch OF boil
ing water starch: the other cold water
starch.
Now it is only when starch OF any
kind comes TO boiling heat that it has
, any stifening property however. there
fore, In the one case the stiffening
property is brought out by the boiling
water. in the other case the stiffening
property is only brought out by the heat
Of the iron.
All articles that are heavy. or that
are wanted 20 be very stifr. or where
. a very hot iron can be used are better
starched with cold water starch In
case of lace, fine or sewed muslin or
any articlee that should be flexible. a
hot iron would not do at all, and so the
starch would not be cooked. but would
kilave a foury appearance. Have every
I thing al hand before commencing to
iron.
LIT the irons as little as possible. and
iron quietly, at the same time press
we'll. Ironing must be done in a good
light. requires a great deal Of practice,
and cannot be done well unless done
with speed
There is an art in the way clothes
are lifted and moved about. Handle
the clothes so as not 70 crush the parts
that have been smoothed.
All clothes must be thoroughly aired
before they are laid away. Although
they seem dry after ironing. there is
always n certain amount OF moisture
which cllngs 20 them.
After folding, open out so far, then

The greatest care and attention should
be paid TO this. as want OF thought may
