CURE FOR CHAPPED HANDS
Cold Cream Has Taken the Place OF
All Preparations That Con-
tain Glycerine.

During the spring months many
women find it difficult to prevent
hands and lips from chapping. And
yet there is an excellent remedy at
hand in cold cream.
It whitens the skin more than any
other preparation. 1t has taken the
place of the old-time glycerine.
1t should be we'll rubbed into the
skin and gloves-loose ones-slipped
on. The palms of the gloves should
be slit in several places and the fin
ger tips clipped off to admit the air
and prevent cramp of the muscles.
Vaseline should never be allowed
to touch the hands. 1t turns the skin
yellow and leaves stain on the nails
that is hard to clear away.
Cold water should be used sparing-
ly. It's action roughens the skin I'M
pleasantly. Tepid water, with few
drops of ammonia and good lather
of CASTLE or borax soap, is advisable.
If the hands are inclined to redness,
the trouble lies in the way of circula-
ton, and slight gymnastics will re-
lieve it.

Students Union Planned.

A Wisconsin union to serve as
common meeting place for all Wiscon-
sin students, fraternity and non-fra-
ternity men, sorority and non-sorority
goods, the building to cost approx
mate1y $150,000, is the dream of the
present student body of the state uni
sity.
The great success of the present
union on the first floor of the Y. M.
G. A. building is cited as the best evil
dence that a Wisconsin union on a
broader and more comprehensive
scale will stimulate great democracy
and bring the general student body
into a closer anu more genuine COM
radeship.
The movement meets with the ap-
prevail of President Van Hise and the
board of regents, and it is quite likely
that the next legislature will be asked
to make an appropriation to cover at
least half, if not more, of the expense
of erecting such a building. A site
In the heart of the university section
of Madison is part of the scheme.

Day of NoiseIess Skirt.

One of the tricks" employed by
modistes to give the proper Zines" to
flimsy evening gowns and at the same
time provide sufficient warmth is to
use fine flannel or cashmere for the
first or foundation layer. In these
silent" petticoat days everything
savoring of swish or rustic is dis
carded. Skirts and petticoats must
be soft, clinging and noiseless.
What change from the days-not

noisiest rustling silk petticoats so
that he who listened might indeed

In his official reply to Dr. c. A.
Harper, regarding the appointment of
a health officer for Milwaukee, Attor-
ney General Gilbert confirms the state
ment that DIR. Bading retains his office
until his successor is appointed and
qualities, or until his resignation is
formally accepted.
In giving this opinion Attorney Gen.
eral Gilbert says in part: 'The per-
son appointed to this Office having
failed to qualify, it is my opinion, on
the facts as stated by you, that Doctor
Bading is still the health commission
err of Milwaukee, and is the person

Must Pay ingalls, Expenses.

That the state should pay the ex-
pense account of Assemblyman Wal
lace ingalls,, amounting to $500, aris-
ing out of his trip to Europe as
member of the special executive COM
mittee on industrial insurance, is held
by Attorney General Gilbert in an
opinion just rendered.
Under the doctrines of the de-
cision in the case of Rosenheim VS..
F'rear, in which it was held that the
legislature has large discretionary
powers" the attorney general says,
"the only limitation placed upon the
legislature in respect to the expendi-
ture of public funds for the investiga-
ton of subjects within it's domain is
that such expenditures be reasonably
necessary"
The attorney general suggests that
in the absence of a showing of "rea-
sonable necessity" the claim is one
which might be properly presented to
the legislature.
