House to Have "Homespun Brigade"

the next time he went back to South
Carolina he brought back bolt Of
cloth and presented it to the speaker.
Uncle Joe" had it made into suit
which made him the envy Of every
man in the house. Since that time Mr..
Aiken has been able to get recognition
and postoffices whenever he wanted
them, but he has been besieged by a
score of members for cloth enough to
make suit like Uncle Joe's."
Last spring when he went home he
engaged the old woman to make all
the homespun she could during the
summer. The result was three suit
ings. These Mr.. Aiken brought up
to Washington and presented to
Representative Ryan of New York,
Representative Lee of Georgia and
Representative Griggs of Georgia.
These three, with the speaker and Mr..
Aiken, will form the charter member
ship of the 'homespun brigade" Other
applicants will be admitted when the
old woman turns out some more jeans.
1t is costing Mr.. Aiken lot for uni
forms, but he doesn't mind that for he
gets everything else he wants.

A YEAR and four months after the
"A United States senate decided that
some investigating ought to be done
into the way customs revenues were
coming in at New York the clerk of
the senate finance committee awoke
one bright morning and determined to
act at once. He, A. B. Shelton, did so.
He took trip to Providence, r. l..
(August 4 to Z, 1907, inclusive), and
charged it to the government. The
total, including Carriage hire, car fare,
telephones and baggage" cost the gov
eminent $45.50.
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island is
chairman of the finance committee and
Mr.. Shelton Is his secretary. Provi-
dence. R. l., is given In the congress
sional directory as Senator Aldrich's
home.
The trip to Providence was duly en-
tered in the itemized list of receipts
and expenditures of the senate" "On
business of the senate finance commit
tee" is the way it appears In the
record under authority of senate reso-
luton of March 8, 1905"

Congressman Listen to Suggestion

ferred to the appropriate committee.
Committees, too, have come to pay
heed to these petitions and memo
rails. The written suggestions that
come In are looked upon as a sort OF
barometer to public sentiment. And
what member of congress is not al
ways anxious to learn the drift of pub
lie sentiment In his district touching
any public question?
An examination of the files of the
senate and house shows that the petit
tions and memorials come from all
kinds of people. 1t frequently occurs
that more than 10000 names are rep
resented on the petitions that reach
the senate in single day.
Over in the house the petitions are
even more numerous. From 1000 to
$1,000 names are represented on the
petitions that reach that body daily
during the first weeks of congress.
AS rule the petitions sent to con-
gress are not worked up" The petit
tions generally show on their faces
whether they are ready made"-that
is to say, whether they have been so
licited. Senators and representatives
say that 80 per cent. Of the petitions
that come to them are not the result
of any organized effort on the part Of
persons or corporations who want to
get legislation through congress.

FOES TO WRINKLES
THAT ARE BOTH
CLEANSING AND HEALING.
Pearl Barley Water Probably the Best
OF All Lotlons--Feeds the Tissues
and Does Not Dry
the Skin.

1t is easier to prevent wrinkles than
to cure them. This is not new or
original statement. but It bears repeti-
ton because Its truth cannot be too
firmly impressed While a woman Is
still young and her skin is fresh she
should try to keep 1t so. To do this,
select applications both cleansing and
healing. or the many lotions, ETC.,
recommended ! would suggest pearl
barley water as being most helpful TO
flesh that has begun to show lines.
1t is made by putting three ounces
OF best pearl barley In pint of boiling
water and simmering slowly until the
llquir has extracted the starch This
is easily told by the slight thickness
1t will take on. The grain Is then
strained out and thrown away and
the liquid used as wash.
III 1t is found to be gluey when cold
1t must be thinned with clear water.
In the proper consistency II Is soft,
but not sticky. For half pint OF the
liquid Is drops of tincture of benzoin
should be added when the former Is
cold.
One cannot do better than to use
this exclusively for cleaning the face.
1t feeds the tissues, does not dry the
skin as clear water may, and is not
a cosmetic. 1t should be applied by
moistening bit of thin muslin and
wiping over the face. There need be
no hesitation In using the liquid freely
and letting 1t dry In. What remains
OF the cleanser after 1t has been left

IMPROVEMENT IN THE HALL.
Changes That May Be Made with Com
paratIvely Small Outlay.

II your hall Is old, long and has a
closed stairway, the only way to make
q decided change is to have money to
change the stairway. Have the closet
torn away and put railing to the
stairs. IL the steps are badly worn
they must be covered; If not, they can
be refinished and vanished, for car
pets are no longer used on the stair
way. The steps at the bottom might
be curved to give more graceful
landing. Now, instead of having the
closet, have window seat back of the
stairs. 1t should not be quite in the
middle. The lower end of the stairs
can be boxed in with oak and panels
TO match the seat II the closet side
has faced the side of the house win
dow can be made; If not. 1t can be
neatly decorated and lighted with an

IL the space is large and will admit

Senate Investigation from Car Window

with vigor. So he took another flying
trip to Providence, r. /. This time
it cost the senate contingent fund
$51.O5.
On October 3, A. B. Shelton hap
pened to think of going to New York
on his way to Providence, R. l., to in
vestigate the revenue receipts, and &C.
cordingly took a three-day trip to
Providence "via New York" Cost,
$46.10.
On November 4 Mr.. Shelton tried
the scheme of investigating the reve-
nue. receipts by going first to Provi-
dence, R. l., and returning on the third
day via New York CITY," Cost, s54.55.
On December the experiment Of
going direct to Providence and re-
turning through New York was re-
peated. 1t must have been success.
for it took but two days to be back in
Washington, and it cost the govern.
ment but $43.75.
But on January 3, 1907, the first
method of investigating New York's
customs revenues-namely, from the
car window-was resumed, and Mr..
Shelton ran on to Providence and
back without disembarking in wicked
Gotham. Cost to Uncle Sam, $685..
Now, isn't 1t funny that Mr.. Aid
rich's secretary should have to go to
Providence, R. L.. every time he
wanted to investigate the New York
customs revenues? And isn't 1t funny
that an investigation authorized in
March, 1905, should not begin until
August, 1906? And should not cease
until January, 1907? And should not
then produce any report?

Tho Eatlma Scarf.

The Fatima. or hip scarf, has been
launched In Paris and worn in various
forms during the last few weeks.
1t is little more than the wide
scarf associated with the Oriental
dance, and is certainly somewhat sur.
prising in effect. though In modified
forms 1t is not quite so revolutionary
as 1t sounds.
These scarfs are made extremely
broad, and are worn not only around
the waist, but drawn closely over the
abdomen and hips and knotted In the
back with falling ends.
Or again. this broad scarf is drawn
closely about the hips. and knotted in
true Oriental fashion.
1t Is easy to see that here again the
figure with small hips and general
slenderness Is demanded.

The throat and neck should re-

When wrinkles have made their an.
pearance and are due to illness or

skin food combine 80 grains of alum,
three quarters of an ounce of almond

r. ROM the confessions OF man with
il army connections 1t may be said
that all is not Joy with the military
and naval attaches of the American
service who are on duty in Washing
ton with White House duties as side
issues of the regular routine. The
places of aids to the president. social
aids Washington calls them. are much
sought, but 1t Is declared that after
a few months of it most of the social
staff officers get tired unto death of
their work and long for the sound OF
boots and saddles" at frontier post
or an order for a march in the Phil
ippines.
II must not be supposed that the
military and naval aids of the presi-
dent have nothing to do except to at
tend him personally when he is giving
official receptions at the White House
When young Grant was one of Mr..
Roosevelt's aids he was engaged in
engineering work during a large part
of the day at the Washington barracks.
Young Lee drilled troop of cavalry
over at Fort Myer when the president
had no need of his services, and the
other officers, past and present, did
not do things pertaining to their mill
tary calling when they were not In
the midst of things social.
President Roosevelt is the easiest
man In the world to get along with,
so all the aids say, and they are tied
10 him in affection, but notwithstand-
ing this one is told confidentially that
the aids think their part In the social
