At Special Council Meeting
Friday Will File Consum-

OPPOSED TO BOTTLED MILK
DAiRYMEN INDUCE PATRONS TO
SIGN PAPER THROUGH ARGU-
MENT THAT BOTTLED CON-
modify WILL INCREASE PRICE.

When council meets Friday even
ing, January Is to consider the prob
able action this body will take on the
following Mo,kday evening in regard
to the milk ordinance. it is probable
that the milk men will present petit
ton signed by several hundred con-
sumers against embedding a section in
the ordinance compelling bottled milk
to be used This petition is being pre-
scented by the dairymen to their Gus
toners in the following manner:
Would you prefer open milk at 6A
cents or bottled milk at IL cents per
quart" 1t Is needless to say that the
majority of the consumers prefer the
cheaper milk.
Dairymen will be invited to attend
this meeting of council as will also
interested citizens, DIR. Charles Bond,
city health officer. City Attorney T.
j. Study and other city officials. 1t
IL expected that arguments will be ad-
vanced by both sides in substantial
ton Of their contentious. The coun-
cilmen will act as judges and render
their decision Monday evening. 1t
would not be surprising if the milk
men would present an ordinance
themselves. There is feeling among
some Of these that If they have to be
Fsgulated they should dictate the
terms.

TRACTION COMPANY.
Gives City $3.50 to Assist Pay
ing Fees for Attorney in
Franchise Fight.
COMMERCIAL CLUB AGENT

The city treasury was enriched to-
day to the extent of $3.50. which was
paid by Secretary Haas. of the Com
mercial club. The money represents
contribution from the Ohio Electric
Railway company to the expense fund
the city incurred by retaining outside
counsel to contest the franchise mat
ter relative to traction lines through
the federal court. The Terre Haute.
Indianapolis & Eastern company has
contributed an equal sum In the same
manner.
The traction companies objected to
paying any money to the city to be
used to defray attorneys fees, which
were expended in fighting the COM
pany. 1t was a condition of the fran
chise agreement, however, that the
company assist in the settlement.
The traction companies agreed to pay
the money to the Commercial club
and would permit it to turn the
money over to the city, if it saw fit.
This is what was done. In this way
the companies do not go on record for
paying the city for its attorneys ser
vices and the city's records do not
show the money was received from
the companies. In this way a pre-
ce dent is avoided. also.

CURE FOR NERVES.

They May 30 Gained by Silence, Soil
tuds and Sleep, Says One Writer.
In an article on NERVES" published
In Harper's Bazaar the story is told of
one Of our noted scientists who went
to Dresden to consult the famous
specialist for broken down nerves. On
hearing his symptoms the great physi-
clan said indifferently:
"Ach SO? 1t Is probable that you
have-yes. all the gelehrten learned
have neurasthenia naturally" The
remedy suggested was play golf and

beer in Cairo, though it is disgustingly
expensive there"
Silence, solitude and sleep are the
sovereign remedies suggested for jag
ged nerves. Slight daily doses Of the
three ''S's,'' it is claimed, will prevent
q nervous breakdown and may be OBJ
tained by even the most busy people.
But "all the learned have neurasthe-
mia" Is at once a warning and 4 con-
ISOLATION to the brain worker. To
drive the machine with skill and
care Is the problem Of the successful
American.

THE VALUE OF GEMS.
Sapphire and Ruby Worth More Than
the Diamond.

Sapphire and Ruby Worth More Than
the Diamond.
There is popular belief that the
diamond is the most valuable Of pre-
cious stones. but the belief is a mis-
taken one under ordinary circum-
stances. The relative commercial value
of the finer stones is about as follows:
Rating an emerald of a certain size
as worth 500, diamond Of the same
size would be worth $50, a sapphire
$500 and a ruby $3.50. You see, there
fore. that the sapphire and the ruby
are both more valuable than the dia-
mond.
Perhaps 1t might interest the young
people to know Of what the principal
precious stones are composed. The
diamond, as they already know, Is
pure carbon crystallized. Sapphires.
which term includes the true sapphire
and the oriental ruby, emerald. topaz
and amethyst. are pure alumina COL
ored by the rust of different metals.
The opal. the red amethysts and the
agates are silica. Among the agates
are included carne,ian, the chalcedony.
the onyx, the sardonyx and the blood
stone. The true emerald and the true
topaz. which are different from tho
oriental emerald and the oriental to-
pas, are formed partly of alumina and
partly Of Silica The term oriental
as applied to precious stones does not
refer to the east, but is only tech.

It was agreed that all assessments

owing to the failure of members to

certain the library will be continued

Catherine by Machine,

For ordinary garments and for cur
tains 1t is q mistake to spend time in
putting in gathers by hand. Do it on
the machine and save time. When
using q chain stitch machine gather
ing may be done without an attach
ment II the thread is wrapped twice
around the tension. This is very
good thing to know, and. while 1t will
not make any deep gathering, it will
be quite effective for any ordinary
ruffling
With a double threaded machine the
under bobbin may be threaded with a
cotton ten numbers coarser Loosen
the tension until it Is very slack and
then place your garment under the
needle and proceed. When it is
stitched you will find that you may
draw up the material to the required
fullness with the aid of the under
thread. 1t will not be necessary to
alter the stitch If 1t is ordinarily short,
and the result will be amply satfsfac-
tory.
With the aid OF these two Ideas it
should be easy to do very good gath
erfng on any machine.

Many inexperienced hostesses who

luncheon or dinner are not quite sure
how forks and spoons should go.

spect, and just at present it is not SO
much in favor to have an array Of
silver resembling a jewelers. display

two courses are laid.
In any case the forks go to the left
Of the plate. In the order of using
they are taken from the outside in.
The spoons and knives, in their order,
are at the right of the plate.
II most Of the forks and spoons are
not on the table In the beginning, the
order OF serving should be as follows:
II fruit punch or bouillon are used.
the glass holding the punch should
stand on a dolly on dessert plate, and
the spoon for the course is also laid
on the plate. The bouillon cup and
saucer should be on another plate, and
the spoon should be at the right Of
the plate
The forks and knives for the main
courses are at the sides, also the fork
for the salad, but 1t is better to have

An Interesting Game to Play With
Paper and Pencils.
When your friends come in to see
you some time, and you can't think Of
anything else to do. suppose you try
fortune telling. Give each a paper and
pencil and tell them to write down the
following things:
/. Some time in the future, like next
Tuesday or the 25th Of January.
g A place, like the name Of a city or
an attic or a trolley car or anywhere
else.
3. The name of person.
4. An object.

6. A feeling, like glad, sad, cross.
kind, etc.
Z. A verb, like run, sing, dance, etc.
8. A color
8. Another color.
10. A place.
Then when your friends have filed
in the answers you read them the
questions, and their fortunes will read,
perhaps, something like this:
~ Next Tuesday e. on a trolley car
you will meet 81 Billy Brown carry
Ing ~ refrigerator, which he will
present to you, saying o.. Where are
you going, my pretty maidT' This will
make you feel (6) angry, and you will
start to O. dance, but he will remark
that your eyes are 81 purple and your
hair is co. green and will soon persuade
you to go with him to 90 the north
pole.
OF course If you like you can invent
different questions, but he sure your
friends do not know what they are
when you play the game.

this idea was a hallucination on the
