Dentists Arc After Laws.

The dentists are having a little time
of their own. Among the representa-
tives of that profession who appeared
before the house medical committee
Saturday were Drs. Carlisle of Sioux
Falls, Wilson of Miller. Palmer of
Madison, and Mccartney of Mitchell.
Carlisle is pushing a bill for reduc-
zion of the qualifications required in
passing a dental examination. He
claims that the present state board Of
examiners have formed a close trust
and will not let in dentists except on
regulations which debar most of them.
The other side accuses him of attempt
ing to run an office with cheap help st
Sioux Falls and desiring to get in men
who cannot pass in other states, and
the war Is on.

For State Printer.

The state printer bill, which has
been prepared by the printers union
of Sioux Falls, provides for a state
printer who is to be appointed by the
governor until the next general cleo
ton, and after that to be elected as
other state officers. The principal
point in the bill Is the appropriation
it carries for operating expenses. The
amount asked is $64,150 for the fiscal
year 1908 and $S2,5OO for the fiscal
year 1909. The estimates made by
Secretary Wipf for the state printing
under contract for the same time is
$4,000. The bill is enacted would
only make difference of about $110,-
600 for the two years and the same
proportion for following years.

Road Law Hung Up.

The road law, to put the control of
the roads Of the state in the hands Of
competent. engineers, is yet hung up
in committee, the principal contention
appearing to be the desire of some of
the committee to make it county op-
tional measure instead of statewide.
AS soon as that point Is decided the
bill will be put out onto the floor for
discussion and the attacks Of those
who believe in the old fashioned way
of working the roads

SCIENCE OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
Necessary Knowledge If Home Is to
Be Made Happy.

Did You ever ask yourself the mean
Ing Of the term domestic economy?
Most likely you never did. Notwith-
standing the growing popularity Of
this branch Of study. there is no sub
ject the name and nature Of which
is so generally misunderstood.
Some young women think II means
cookery and laundry lessons" others
thing "scraning and saving" would
more ftly define it, while dim ideas
Of so-called mental duties and domes.
tic drudgery float through the brains
OF others.
But these are small nibhlings at
the outer barE' of the truth, which is
that domestic economy is a saving
knowledge. knowledge which relates
to the intelligence and cultivated man
agement of everything connected with
the home.
II is the science of the home. and
preemiDently a woman's science.
1t is the woman's work to make tho
house into a home. Every woman
ought to know how to do all Thu IS
necessary to make a home happy,
says Woman's Life.
The husband earns the money. but
the principal part Of 1t has to be
spent by the wife. Hence It is very
important that all girls should learn
domestic economy. But please re-
member that domestic economy is
one Of those things that cannot be
learned from books alone.

ing process. Take one and a half
pounds Of the best white laundry soap,
one-half pound Of whiteoak bark,
three fourths Of pound OF borax,
one-fourth, Of a pound OF iuller's earth,
one-half a pint Of good alcohol, one.
half a pint Of ammonia, onehalf an
ounce Of chloroform and four gallons
OF water. Tie up the bark in a piece
OF thin material and boil in two gal.
Ions OF water for four hours. Keep
boiling water at hand to replace that

bag, add the soap, shaved fine, the
borax and the fullers earth and let
simmer until all are dissolved. Then
add the other two gallons Of water,
