RESULTS OF DICK BILL-The Bureau of Mill
tia Affairs Will publish the results Of its in
spection Of the organized militia Of the various
states and territories. on which will be decided
what states entitled to allotment Of the ap-
preparations made by Congress for the support Of
the militia. After January 21 next no portion OF
the money appropriated by Congress for the SUP
port Of the militia be paid to any military BODY
that fails to conform in organization and equip
ment to the regular army.
The Dick bill of 1903 originally prescribed a
period Of five years for bringing about the changes
necessary to plaee the guardsmen In uniformity OF
organization and equipment with the regular SOL
diers 1t was found that few Of the had been
able to conform. and extension to January 21
1910, was granted.
The War Department expresses great satisfaction
in the prospect and the apparent attending

to the requirements of the law The task has been
one Of considerable magnitude. In many cases the
companies and regiments mere skeletons;
twenty-five made up an average company IN
uniforms for parade but lacked the khaki outfits re-
quired for field service. Still others had only frag-

rifle, supposed to indicate membership In the
guard. The improvement in conditions has been
general, but markedly in the South.

The Lawless Spirit.

Because 1t involves the very principle
of honorable contest, I have given con-
siderable space to this discussion. The
spirit which prompted the removal OF
those stop-pins Is identical with the one
accountable for the "smart trick"
which brought public dishonor to an
American team in England; and both
painfully illustrate the lawless spirit
which is, am sorry to say, 80 much In
evidence wherever American teams and
American individuals show in COMPETE
ton. Football elevens are trained by
their coaches to break the rules as much
as the referee and umpire will tolerate 4;
athletes on the cinder path are coached
to Jockey on the turns a. much as
may be without attracting official atten-
ton. Base ball captains must kick at
every decision the umpire makes or be
viewed as weaklings by their fellows.
The slogan of American teams Is 10
beat the rules.
Instances of rule-breakage are COM
mon in every contest on land and water.
Unfortunately, the boys arc trained to
think it is smart, that 1t is part of the
game; and it is about time our college
faculties, who talk so much on the ethics
of athletics, give thought to educating
the young gentlemen as to the difference
between smart play within the rule and
dishonest play outside of it. 1t is bad
enough to meet these conditions on oul
college Fairgrounds and athletic club
tracks, but when we find them cropping
out also among the officers and teams OF
national institution like the Academy
at Annapolis, we begin to question II
winning at any cost has replaced the
essence of fair play. If violating the
plain letter of the rule is what they. are
teaching the cadets at Annapolis in their
rife matches, it would seem to me to be
an occasion for official attention.--Caspar
Whitney In Golfers.

The Kitchen Shelf.

1t is very often necessary to boil water
| for drinking purposes. To take away
the fiat, insipid taste after it has been
boiled, take It into the fresh air and pour
1t from one jug into another two or three
times. The water will absorb some oil
the oxygen from the air and 1t will be
found that the fiat taste objected to BY
so many people will have entirely dis
appeared.
Frequently housewives find that house
hold linen such as table cloths, towels
and kitchen cloths with red borders will
run, thus staining other linen they may
be washed with; If, however, when new
before being washed, they are stepped 10
gallon of water containing double
handful of common salt for twenty-fOul
hours, this trouble is overcome and they
may be washed afterward with any Other
linen without any fear of the red design
staining other things. This method
makes the color fast.
The ends of candles melted down and
mixed with turpentine make very good
floor polish.
A little bathbrick scraped on the
hearth Immediately after washing 1t vii
be effectual in removing any stains.
To make up fire to last for hours,
wet any waste paper, press into balls
place on the fire, cover with small Goa
and cinders.
To prevent gas stove from rusting
as they will do If care Ia not taken, rub
the entire inside with q flannel cloth
which has been saturated with swee,
oil.
Rub finger marks on doors with 9
clean piece of flannel dipped in kerosene
and the marks will disappear. After
ward wipe them with cloth wrung ou'
in hot water to take away the odor of the
oil. This plan is better than using SOAP
and water as the oil does not destroy the
paint. Kerosene will also be found ex
cellent for cleaning vanished doors.

Hints.

For headache and drowsiness, take q
cupful Of tea with the juice of half 8
lemon In 1t instead of milk. The effect
Is wonderful.
For burns or scalds nothing Is more
soothing than the white of an egg, which
may be poured over the wound. It IL
softer as q varnIsh for burn than colo
dion.
1t 10 an interesting fact that, chemical.
ly. milk and grape juice are almost
identical, and that the nutritive qualities
of both are almost the same, pint oil
each being equivalent to at least one
pound Of meat.
A simple and infallible remedy for
heartburn is to take half q tumbler oil
cold water to which has been added
half teaspoonful Of carbonate of soda
squeeze the juice of small piece OF
lemon and drink while effervescing.
For pains In the face and teeth take
two teaspoonfuls Of -four and the same
quantity Of grated ginger and mix them
well together with sufficient whiskey to
make thin paste. Spread this on q
linen rag and apply 1t to the part affect
ed on going to bed, wrapping piece OF
flannel over all, and It will effect cure.
For biliousness, squeeze the juice Of q
small lemon into half q glass OF cold
water, then stir In little baking soda
and drink while 1t effervesces. This
recipe will also relieve sick headache II
