TO MAKE NORMAL
PERMANENT

To outline plan for making the
summer normal and chautauqua here
a permanent institution, a number
OF the directors Of the Chamber Of
Commerce together with other inter
ested citizens are in session at the
club rooms this afternoon. Press OF
other enterprises and the necessity
for doing all the work from the
start this year have not been en-
tirely favorable to the normal this
summer but as the report of the nor
NAL instructors and the manpar emit
shows the school has been 3, an
TALLY successful and the results al
ready achieved show that the normal
proposition for Amarillo can hardly
fail OF being a widely successful en-
terprlse. Students have been enroll
cd this year from all parts OF Texas
and the quality Of the work has been
uniformly high. Lack OF boarding
and rooming facilities at moderate
rates has handicapped the school
and furnishes the most serious OBJ
stacle to the success Of the normal
here. But as the men interested in
the enterprise point out this need
for boarding accommodation at low
prices can be supplied by providing
opportunity for cooperative house
Keeping by students and for light
housekeeping in temporary summer
boarding houses. 1t is intended that
announcement will be made within
the next few days in regard to the
normal next summer and to this end
the citizens most interested are hold

animal DIES
With RABIES
Mule Bitten Twenty Days Ago
By Dog DeVOISpHs Violent
Case Of HydIOphObla
(From Mondays Daily)

A malady which Or, Maxwell, the
government veterinary inspector pro-
nounced hydrophobla, was respons-
ible today for tho death OF a mule
which has been confined since yes
terday In the barn OF George Hayden
at Seventh and Van BuDren streets.
The animal belonged to a farmer who
lives several miles southwest OF
Amarillo and until a few days ago
had been running loose with other
horses and mules A short time ago
it begaa acting strangely and the
owner who suspected tho cause,
phonod Dr.. Maxwell and under his
direction brought It he.e for coniine-
ment. Whether or not It succeeded
in bltlhg other stock around tho
place Is not definitely known but the
owner aid not believe that any OF
the othfr animals had been injured
by the mule. lie viii keep strict
lookout for dangerous symptoms In
the otber animals and will take
prompt action in case any other cages
OF the dread disease deyeiope.
While such danger is not thought
likely, It is possible that there are
a number OF dogs and other animals
in this vicinity which are afflicted
with rabies, Twenty days ago the
owner Of the mule which died today
saw dog out in his pasture worry
ing the mules and he took a gun and
went out IN the pastue TO shoot II
or drive II away. When no APP
preached nearer the dog showed such
dangerous symptoms and rushed at
him so vloiously that he shot and
killed it at once. II had already Bit
ten the mule and, as the develop
ments OF the last few days show. the
virus from that small wound poison
ed the mule and killed 1t,
Great care had to be taken in
handling the animal which died to-
day, 10 keep It from getting away
and biting othors. To-day the dis
ease had reached It's most acute stage
and the big beast gnawed its own
limbs and wrlthed In paroxysms of
pain The veterinary inspector
watched the case carefully and will
take every means for verifying his
observations.
In cases OF bites by animals Sus-
pected of hydrophobia, physicians
and others are strongly advised
against needless killing OF the ami
mails. The suspected animal should
be taken wherever possible, muzzled

CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
CIuan Walls Are an Essential to
Sanitary Cooking.

1t is not only important to know
how to cook, but 1t is equally impor-
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing in dirty kitchen can never pro-
duce good food. The idea is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for months-sometime for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have light tint that the mer-
est fleck of dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. 1t is all folly expecting
clean food in a kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put wall coating on a
kitchen wall that is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in it, or sour
milk in it if mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly flecking off, fall
ing into the food and the idea of food
favored with glue made from horses
hoofs is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu-
larly in the spring and fall OF each
year with a light tint.
The care of the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed over every year, the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water. If there are ant
holes or any other insects in the pan
tries thick putty of the wall coat
ing can be made and all the ant holes,
even small mice holes can be filled
with it which will protect the pantry
from the incursions of disagreeable
insects and mice.

SOME EVIDENCES OF GRAF 7
MIR. Rossiter Placed in Charge With
Instructions to Assist a Commit
tee to Make Report on
Conditions.

Washington, Feb. 6.-President
Roosevelt Wednesday temporarily
suspended as public printer Charles
A. Stillings and appointed William
S. Rosster temporarily to fill the du
ties of that office The action, as
explained officially, is to facilitate the
investigation now being made of the
government printing Office by con.
gress. Mr.. Rossiter now is chief
clerk of the census office.
The following correspondence rel
alive to the change in the govern
ment printing office Wednesday was
made public by the president, the
dis of the house committee on print
ing, signed by the president follows:
The information you have given
NE this morning is so important that
| deem best that there should be a
written record thereof. | had already
begun some weeks ago an lnvestiga-
ton into the government printing
office under Mr. Stillings; TINS inves-
tigation, originating because of infor-
nation which reached me as to the
increased cost Of printing to the de-
partments. | accordingly directed Mr..
Havenner of the department of COM
merce and labor to investigate and
report upon this matter. His report
on its face was severely condemna-
tory of Mr.. Stillings. | furnished Mr..
Stillings with a copy anu requested
an answer from him, which | have not
yet received.
Il enclose you a copy of Mr.. Hav-
enners report and as soon as | re-
ceive the answer | shall also forward
that to you for your information, and
will let you know what action | have
taken on Lne report.
You now INFORM me that your COM
mittee has discovered circumstances
in connection with the printing Office,
notably in connection with eXpendi-
lures for furniture in the printing of
flee and in the purchase of supplies
which makes you feel that there is
great irregularity therein. You also
inform me that you believe that the
present audit system of the printing
bureau serves TO shield these irregu-
larities and that the persons in
charge of this system exert an undue
and improper influence not merely on
the purchase of supplies for the gov
eminent printing office but. in the
management of the office itself. You
also say that the subcommittee feels
that it can not make a satisfactory
investigation of the Office while Mr..
Stillings and the persons in charge
of the audit system are in the Office,
and request that | suspend Mr.. Still
lings pending investigation and also
shall suspend the execution of the
contracts made under the audit sys-
TEN.
Il have accordingly temporarily
suspended Mr.. Stillings and shall put
Mr.. Rossiter in his place, directing
him to cooperate in every way with
your committee, and furthermore, to
make an exhaustive report to me on
conditions in the Office"

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau

given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening

The extraordinary popularity of fine

from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
