R. K. Smith, the head of the leaf
department of the American Tobac-
co Company, inspected the samples
of the Burley tobacco held by the
society at Winchester, with view
of buying the whole or part of the
pooled crop. The inspection was
not completed Tuesday and will be
continued Friday. 1t is hoped that a
sale can be made, but the trust does
not want the entire crop, fearing
that it would be overloaded.

FEMININE FANCIES
LITTLE HINTS AND HELPS FOR
ALL WoMANKlND.
The Careful Woman Rests Her Clothes,
Thereby Keeping Them Always
Fresh and Free from Shah
blness--Other Items.

The careful woman has taken ia
resting her clothes.
Nothing induces shabbiness In coats
and gown more than the lines and
wrinkles which show they have been
worn and reworn
Walking creases and sitting creases
make a garment old before It has
done its duty.
Men appreciate this fact better than
women That is why a man can al
ways appear well dressed with a
small wardrobe, because every week
OF so he makes change Of suits and
sends the one he has been wearing
to the tailor, and never by any chance
allows wrinkle to become fixed in
his suit.
Not all women's frocks can go to a
tailor, but she can manage to change
her clothes often enough to give them
an entire rest. And 1t is real economy
to do so.
Here Is practical plan for clean
ing and pressing skirts: Brush them
first, then whisk off with a clean
brush dampened in ammonia and
warm water.
Any stain can be removed If rubbed
out at once with a mixture of equal
parts of ammonia, alcohol and water.
After the skirt is thoroughly cleaned,
brushed and dried, lay 1t on the press
ing table OF board, pin each pleat
down in the proper fold, cover the
skirt with piece of dark wooden
goods, which has been previously
dampened, ahd then press.
To remove dust from silk skirts, do
not use a brush, but wipe them with
piece of velveteen, which will not
wear the silk and will remove the
dust very much more satisfactorily
than a brush.
Silk or ruffled skirts should be fit
ted out with tapes sewn on the lower
rufles, by which they may be hung
upside down. This prevents the skirt
from sagging and the ruff1es from
dropping.
Gowns of delicate material should
be put away in long boxes or drawers, |
each skirt being folded in pleats, into
which it should fall when being worn
The bodices should be stuffed with
tissue paper, also the sleeves and
filled out with the paper
Wash frocks should always be put |
away in trunks, boxes or drawers, |
whether they have been worn or not, /
for in hanging they grow stringy, are
more easily affected by dampness, and |
lose their freshness before they are
worn

TAKE A LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

One of the duties of the good citi-
zen is to subscribe for and read local
newspaper. This is true not simply
because it is the duty of a good citi-
zen to patronize home institutions and
not because the newspaper is the special
representative and champion of the
community but because the citizen will
himself be directly profited. The daily
or weekly newspaper, in the news that
it furnishes, the suggestions that it
makes, the advertisements that it prints,
the good, clean reading that it supplies.
is worth far more than its price of
subscription. The married man owes
it to his family and the single man to
himself to subscribe for local news
paper. Reading it will inform him.
broaden his mind, enlarge his sympa
thies and, mconsciously to himself per-
haps, make him a better citizen.

FEAR OF LEPERS

THE victims of leprosy are now the
only physical detectives who are
treated still as they were in the
Medieval times. They inspire an al
most superstitious terror in the clean
of flesh. More scientific study is re-
quired and more humane method of
dealing with the sufferers. There can he
no doubt that leprOsy is much COM
moner than is generally supposed. for
its period of incubation is unusually
long, and it often fails to announce itself
definitely for years. Until adequate pro-
vision is made for the victims. however,
they will continue to spread the plague
among their neighbors. State govern
ments have been slow to make the ne-
cessary provisions for their comfort. The
Federal authorities would seem to be in
a better position to deal with the situa-
tion.

TOWN AS CORPORATION.

The town is a municipal corporation.
Every citizen is a stakeholder with a
vote in the management of its affairs.
Every stakeholder is responsible for the
condition of the corporation. If the
corporation does not manage its business
properly then the directors and stock
holders are responsible. The stock
holder who never inquiries into the af
fairs of his corporation, who takes no
interest in it, who never concerns him
self with its prosperity, forfeits his
moral right to criticism of its manage
ment.
When business corporation is
formed, men of wealth, of high charac
ter, of intelligence and broad views are
welcomed into the number of its stock
holders. The same should be true in
the municipal corporation. But when
these men stand apart from the corpO-
ration, remain away from the meetings
which control its affairs. they have only
themselves to blame if matters 90
wrong.

POCkETBOOk POLITICS.

The Use of money in political CAM
paigns Is crying shame to our country
1t has come TO pass. in many cases
that more money is expended in can
vasses for nomination and election than
the entire salary of the desired Office.
The result of such practice is a constant
temptation to dishonesty in Office. The
legislator is tempted to expect paw for
supporting or opposing measure. The
executive officer is tempted to use his
position as a means TO private gain.
The evil has grown to such propor-
tons as to threaten our safety as re-
public. That nation soon ceases to be
free where the elections can be turned
this way and that by the expenditure of
money. Then this would be no longer
a republic where all men are free but
an autocracy of wealth. Money, not
man, would rule.
One way to get rid of pocketbook
politics is to punish the brile-civer
along with the bribe-taker. The candi

DOYLE'S
DRAMATIC POWER

G ONE Frcnchman has said that the
most dramatic situation of all lit
erature is where Robinson CrusOe
found the human footprints in the sand.
With all Difference to the unique genius
of Defoe. the present writer cannot wholly
agree with this estimate. Unquestionably
it should have been.
But to the modern way of thinking.
it is not enough for writer TO pre-
sent a great situation. He must have
prepared the readers mind to receive
it in the proper spirit. 1t must be led
up to. There must be the preliminary
period of suspense. The finding of the
footprint in Robinson Crusoe" comes at
the beginning of a chapter. out of clear
sky. The revelation surprises. but it does
not thrill
1t is precisely the same fundamental
idea of which Conan Doyle makes Use in
