How to Avoid Bust.

There is not nearly so much sweep
Ing done as there used to be, as it is
so we'll known that in dust there is
likely to be many germs of diseases,
especially if there is any one in the
family who has cough. however slight
it may be- But there are many house
wives who have regular sweeping days,
taking certain precautions. A good
plan is to wet n newspaper and then
tear it up in pieces, scattering them
over the floor. Push them along in
front Of the broom and they will alb
sorb most of the dust.

The proper way of testing the
warmth of baby's milk is to squeeze
the nipple so that a few drops fall on
the back of the hand. One of the most
filthy and unhygienic things that can
be done, and one seen frequently, is
for a mother or other person to moist
en- a handkerchief or napkin with the
tongue and then wipe baby's mouth.
There are no words too strong to ex-
press the nastiness Of this, and the
consequent risk to a young baby's
health IS great.

Must Obey Fashion.

Fashion is very stern mistress and
every one must follow her dictates. No
better evidence of submission was ever
given than in regard to the change of
fashion in the waist. Last year, until
the weather was freezing cold, girls,
and women too, for that matter, wore
short sleeyed, diaphanOus waists that
aroused the criticism of those who did
not consider it quite proper to wear so
much open work. Now the same girls

neglfgee- looking linen coat, sleeves long
to the wrists and gloves completing the

tucked in squares. The skirt was
trimmed with three bias folds, cut in

Dissolve a little in hot water, and scrub

require it to be and put out in the

Mauston farmers are feeling the effects
of the continued wet weather and are
fearful that the grain which escaped the
cold of the very backward spring will be
seriously damaged if not destroyed by rust
or mildew. Oats and corn will probably
yield not more than half a crop and hay
is showing even lower percentage. 1t is
also feared that potatoes will rot in the
ground unless a dry spell comes on. The
recent sudden drop in temperature caus-

among the tobacco growers, who have

known whether any of them persisted or
not. Some of them probably went to
Wausaukee. The camps were destroyed.

The way to make good town is for
all the people to boost. The way to kill
town is for all the people to divide
into factions and for one faction to
knock what the other proposes The
old saying "United we stand, divided

you will build up town in which every
