Measures Are Necessary.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-Otto G. Schneid-
president Of the board Of educa-
tion, it is announced today, will In
troduce resolution at the next meet
ing Of the board, prohibiting the fur
Their existence OF fraternitias and So
cieties In the city high schools and
making membership IN them ground
for expulsion Of pupils from the
schools. Professor Cooley, superin-
tendent OF the Chicago schools. Is
strongly In favor of the proposed C
ton. He said:
THE testimony Of teachers seems
to indicate that the general moral
tone Of members Is lowered by their
experience in this association; that
idleness, expense. trivinal converse
ton, love Of display and the spread
Of gossip all go with the fraternity;
and that, in the case OF some special
boys organizations we may add to
these the keeping Of late hours, RI
bald language, obscene songs, smok-
ing, drunkenness, gambling and social
evils"
Action Legal.
Since the enactment OF the present
school board rule prohibiting mem
bers OF ~traternal societies from par
ticipating in school activities, and the
recent unfolding Of this rule by the
appellate court, the organizations
have felt their fight to be a losing
one, but such drastic action ~ Is now
contemplated by the school authors
ties surprises them. What President
Schenider proposed, however. Is.
claimed to be in direct line with q
score Of state decisions and state en-
actments made within the past three
years.
Minnesota, Indiana and Kansas
have prohibited fraternities In the
public schools and in several other
states local rules like the one pro-
posed have been upheld by the court
decision.

Odds Generally, Placed at From to 2
to I to 6.
Chicago, Oct. %. Betting on the
elections in all the large cities of the
country places Taft as the favorite at
odds, of from 1 to 2 to 1 to 6.
The gambling this year will be
lighter than on the previous presiden-
quent. according to reports from all
over the country. and no bets of large
amounts are reported in any place.
The largest offer yet reported Is
from San Francisco. where one man
has offered $4,000 at 4 to 10 that Taft
will be the winner.
Almost as much interest is taken
by the gamblers in the New York
gubernatorial contest as in the nation
al fight. In these bets the favorite Is
Lieutenant Governor Chanler. The
quotations at Buffalo are 9 to 10 that
Hughes will be beaten and the same
San Francisco man who offers 100000
on Taft has put up $4,000 that Hughes
will be defeated.
Curously enough, some of the great
est odds on Taft are offered by men
in the solid south and in the doubt

a flat ! to 8 that the republican can
didate will win. Another offer of the
same odds is made in Baltimore. Odds

Rose, a rancher in Columbial county,
south of Spokane, is experimenting
with sand as a fertilizer OF clay soil,
and the result is being watched with
interest by his neighbors as we'll as the
heads of state agricultural colleges In
the northwest The purpose of the sand.
which is being spread over the land
where there is clay, is to increase the
fertility of the soil. Mr.. Rose tried
this in a small way last fall and he
says the results in larger and better
crops were such rs to warrant him in
extending the sand mixture over his
entire holdings. He has demonstrated
that the sand prevents the clay from
adhering to the plows, also making the
ground easier to work for sowing. This
is said to be the first time that sand
has been utilized as fertilizer on

in the United States.

You, dear madam, you who are now
reading this paragraph, will be inter-
ested in this easy make toilet prep
araton if you care for your complex
ion:-you will be particularly inter
ested if you do not approve of the use
of powder and paint. We all realize
that some aid must be given to the
skin to keep the complexion clear,
white, soft and velvety during the try
ing months of fall and winter. Eppo-
tone is one of the best known aids to
a beautiful complexion. 1t is compare
lively inexpensive and it is easy to
prepare. Get at your druggists 9
ounces of Rose Water. 1 ounce of
Cologne Spirits and ounces of Eppo-
one. Take these home and put the F,p
potone in a pint of hot water (not
boiling) and after dissolved strain and
let cool, then add the Rose Water and
Cologne Spirits. This excellent face
wash should be applied daily. 1t is
harmless and it's use cannot be de-
tected, for it does not rub off or show.
For preventing or removing chaps and
roughness there is nothing so good as
