Dear Madame Alta:
Would like to ask a few questions.
viii ammonia promote hair, If not. how
will 1 use it, and how often? Will it
darken the hair? Can you tell me some
thing to tighten hair to take place of
peroxide? Also, will talcum powder
cause hair to grow? Please answer in
EVENING STAR. L. M.
You don't make yourself quite clear
on the question of ammonia. Ammonia
will not make the hair grow; on the
contrary, it will retard the growth of
the hair, n decay the roots, if used to
any extent. 1t will not darken the hair,
but will make it tawny and lifeless
looking. Don't use it on your hair. II
you are a blonde and wish to keep your
hair light, put half a teaspoonful of
baking soda in the rinsing water. A
teaspoonful of peroxide of hydrogen to
the Tinsing water will also keep the
hair light and will do no harm. Talcum
powder will not cause hair to grow.
Dear Madame Alta:
Niiiuly iet me hnoW the average
height and weight of a girl from IL to
20 years of age. l am II years old and
am 5 feet 3 inches Inc weigh 1872 pounds.
Dc you think I weight too much.
A READER.
l don't think you age has anything
to do with your weight and height, as
some girls develop quicker than Others
and take or more weight. The average
weight for a woman your height is 1870
pounds, the minimum Ill, and the max
imum $50 pounds, so you see you are
very little above the average, and I
would say, not too heavy.

Hon. to Make
the Home More
Attracttve

Go into any one of the smart shops
that are devoted to housefurnishing.
or in the departments of the big dry
goods stores that are set aside for that
purpose, and you will be astonished at
the prominence that is now given to
cretonne. 1t is used for all sorts of
purposes that would surprise our
grandmothers, who, in their day,
thought a good deal of this material,
but had only half a dozen or SO of
"chintzes." as they called them, to
choose from. Today there are a hum
bred or more varieties of cretonnes of
domestic manufacture, exquisite in de-
sign and colors, thai can be bought
from twenty-five cents a yard up, be-
sides a great quantity of imported
ones that range from about thirty
cents to three dollars and fifty cents a
yard.
But it is not the high-priced Gre
tonnes that are mostly in demand. The
throngs of women in the shops buying
cretonnes are mostly for the grades
tina cost from twenty-five to fifty
cents a yard, and include dark, light
and medium-toned patterns, many of
which may be matched exactly in the
new wall papers. And to have the de-
sign of the wall paper match the hang
ings or cushions in a room is the very
latest fashion in house decorations.
Another most attractive fad is the
new cretonne bedroom furniture. AL
most any woman seeing these fascinat-
ing suites for the first time, either
orders one-if her purse is plentifully
su~pplied-or signs because she cannot
possibly afford to do so. For they rep
| resent the very latest novelty in cree
tonne decoration, and are absolutely
u~p-to-date, though, it must be reluc-
| family confessed, not very serviceable.
No wonder you need a carpet every
few years if you insist OF using the
| sweeper instead of the broom. Ger
tainly it is more convenient, but it is
not so thorough in its work n each
time the carpet is swept you find a
double handful of lint taken off of the
carpet. II is not all lust by any
means, but the fine wool of the thread
The sweeper virtually pulls the WOO
off of the carpet. The sweeper is toe
useful to abolish, but the broom is to-
reliable to leave alone. Sweep a room
with short, ever strokes. n take VI
the accumulation of dust with tn
sweeper. The only proper way to clear
a velvet rug is a laborious one, but l

and sweep the floor with h pile o
the carpet. 1t removes every particle
of dust which a sweeper fails to re

wood floors.

A Bad Fire.

The Marx & Berscheidt stock Of
mems furnishings was badly damag-
ed by fire Sunday morning. Night
Marshal Hitchcock while making his
rounds discovered the fire through
the flames reflecting through a sky
light in the building. He immediate.
ly turned in an alarm but by this
time the flames had burst through
the roof and by the time the fire
company arrived the conflagration
had assumed such proportions THAT
1t was thought adjoining buildings
were doomed. The company manag.
ed to keep the blaze confined large.
ly to the top floor Of the building
and the main floor stock was chiefly
damaged by smoke and water. The
firm carried a heavy stock but are
fairly well covered by insurance.
The offices of Raffington C Lewis,
on the second floor of the buildings
were burned out and very little saw
cd BY this firm.
The building was erected last year
by Fred Miller. The damage to the
same will be about $l,5OO, covered
BY insurance. 1t will be repaired
at once.
The cause Of the fire Is an unsolv-
ed proposition. The most plausible
reason being spontaneous combustion.
The fire boys worked like Trojans,
doing good work, and the water press
ure was excellent, Firsmen Mala
and Fankhauser came near meeting
with bad accidents.
This fire brought to the attention
OF our people the need Of a hook and
ladder wagon, and we understand
steps have been taken to supply this
want.
As soon as the adiustors for the var.
ious insurance companies can per.
form their work Of adjusting, Marx
4 Bercheidt will begin to get shap-
ed up to do business again. While
their loss in stock is pretty well GOV.
cred, their loss in business in the
meantime, will be considerable, and
our people regret that this should
be the case, especially a. they O.
a young firm In business
here. However. they. will be ready
for business again in short order. -

The commissioners finished can.
vassing the returns of the recent
election last Saturday evening, and
the result is published in this issue.
As is always the case when a vote
is close on some candidatse, there is
always more or less talk Of contest,
recount and throwing out of town.
ships but that is as far as Il has
gone here this year. Technical, ir.
reguarities are reported from sever.
al places, but nothing of any con.
sequence.
The commissioners IN going over
the poll Of votes in the different pre-.
cincts Of the county found that o
few more votes were cast in Liber.
ty township than there seemed vot.
ers and the county attorney was CALI
ed In to see whether the ballots
could be counted or not. His ad-
vice was that the only way in which
this could be done was through
contest on the part Of some one In:
terested. Another opinion offered by
an outsider is that the commissioners
on finding a discrepancy Of this
Kind In any township can throw
out the vote Of the township In its
entirety but that they have no right
to open the sealed returns and count
the ballots until a court 90 decides.
Contests and recounts only serve to
widen a breach once made, and do
not result in any lasting good to
any candidate or party. =;

Fire at EIlinwood.

The old frame store building on
the south side Of the track at Ellin-
wood, belonging to Mat Dick, and
occupied by Geo. Helm as an imple-
ment warehouse. was burned to the
ground early Sunday morning. The
fire was discovered in time to have.
been stopped without great damage
had the town had the benefit OF the
water service which 1t is Install
ing but as a result Of its absencs
the loss is particularly heavy. Aid
was telegraphed to this city but the
fire department here at the time
of receiving the message was busily
engaged in fighting the Marx & Ber
scheidt fire and was unable to re-
spond.
The loss on stock is about Sl4,OVO'
and $500 on the building. There is
about $1O,5OO insurance.
This fire has removed one OF the
old land marks of Ellinwood. For
years it was the only thing in the
way of an opera house or hall for
dancing purposes in the city and
more than twenty years ago when tn
roller skating craze was on, it was
used for that purpose. Like other
old time buildings in western towns,
if it could have spoken, some great
stories it could have told. We sim
cerely hope that Ellinwood will not
be visited by the fire demon again
for some time, and at least not un-
til their water plant is installed.

5 Will They Revise the Tariff

/ AtG u 81 liI
washington, Nov. 11.-According
programme and party promise, Presi.
Gent Taft shortly after his inaugura
ton will have Congress assembled In
extra session for tariff revision In
anticipation a commission cons. i'm
ted by Congress at the last session
mas been at work collecting data to
be used in making up the new sched
uleS. The commission consists of
members Of the House ways and me
committee and the Senate commit
tee on finance, the two committees
which will have jurisdiction over Il
tariff bill. : ,."" .,
Until the outcome of the congress.
ional contest in certain districts
became known some hope was enter.
tanned that the House at least might
respond to the growing demand for
real tariff revision. .T-.-
The reelection of Mr.. Cannon is
taken here to mean his election agar
as speaker. If he organizes the House
committees he will place at the head
OF ways and means, Mr. Payne of New
York, and in second place Mr.. Dalzell
of Pennsylvania, his able standpat
lieutenants. IS E.
Unless the unexpected happens, this
trio will dominate the House so that
the tariff bill as framed and sent
to the Senate will be a maximum and
minimum affair, retaining the present
rates, with substantially no change,
as the minimum. and making the
maximum rates retallatory, to be
imposed upon the products Of other
countries which discriminate against
US. 1t is thought that here and
there some rates will be lowered, but
no one well informed looks for any
material reduction In rates. even
in the steel schedule. -
Should the stand-patters encounter
an insurreetion among the Republican
in the House with the re-
suit that real tariff revision Is
forced through that body, the stand
patters are amply entrenched in the
Senate, where the are In control and
do not fear the entrance Of the new
radical Republican senators from the
West. The outlook Is not consider.
ed good for anything in the form
Of acGual revision.
