WASH HATS FOR THE BABY
Those Embroidered Pique With Sepa.
rate Brims and Crowns, Recon-
mended for Hard Wear.

The baby's hat changes in style as
of this season are graceful and easily
made For hard wear nothing equals
hats of embroidered pique. To laun.
der easily the brims and crowns are
made separate and buttoned together.
The crown is worked with simple
wreath Of detached flowers on top
and is finished on the edge with
groups of three buttonholed scallops
alternating with long tab that
reaches nearly to the edges in
straight line.
The brim is cut double with the rib
side of pique out on both sides and
the edges buttonholed together The
head opening is then cut in circle
and the edge bound with tape. The
crown buttons down on the brim
about an inch beyond the head size,
and the tabs also button.
A wide soft ribbon is run under the
tabs and tied at the back in big
bow This ribbon may be colored to
match the frock, or soft, null scarf
may be used with ends scalloped and
embroidered.
There are charmingly simple little
hats made with dotted swiss crowns
shirred into the brims, which are fin
ished with box p1aits; ruff1es of swiss
edged with valenciennes lace. These
hats are adorned with many Topped
bows of blue ribbon at one side and
smaller ones at the opposite side.
A quaint hat is of white null with
the crown gathered in radiant lines
from the center. The sides are
shirred over cord, and the brim is
deep ruffle of openwork embroidery.
A QUART touch is given by small ro-
settes of colored ribbon outlining the
top of the crown above the cording.

her far greater success than most of

VIZ ASHINGTON.-Added to his al

Wilson, the secretary of agriculture,
Is now made by congress the chief bug
Inspector of the United States. It
came about with the passage of a
Jaw identical with the pure food and
drug act, but covering all insecticides
and fungicides. The enforcement of
the law, as in the pure food law, Is
vested in commission consisting of
the secretary of the treasury, the Sec
Rotary OF commerce and labor and the
secretary of agriculture. But the two
cabinet officers first named are sort of
commissioners emeritus. The real
work comes down to the secretary of

The bug commission has appointed

CARING FOR THE CORSET
When Soied They Can Be Washed
at Home Instead of Sending to
the Cleaners.

Some people, instead of washing
heir corsets when they get soiled
always send them to the cleaners.
But with little care corsets can be
washed at home most successfully.
First Of all rip the front seam on
both sides and take out the steels.
If these are left in iron mold stains
will certainly appear after washing.
Then dissolve some soap jelly, made
by shredding half pound of the best
yellow soap in one quart of boiling
water and simmering until dissolved
In warm water.
Two tablespoonful of jelly to half
gallon of water is usually sufficient,
but very hard water may require
more
Put the corsets into the suds and
allow them to soak for five minutes.
Then spread them on a board and
brush thoroughly with a well-soaped
nail brush, dipping them occasion
ally into the suds to remove the loos-
ened dirt.
When quite clean rinse through two
lots of warm water and hang up to
drip dry When almost dry iron on
the inside with cool f1atiron and aft
er a thorough airing replace the
front steels and sew them firmly in.
Ii this is carefully done the cor
set will emerge from the washtub as
good as new.

MAKING USE OF GOOSEBERRY.
Jelly One Of the Best Condiments
That Can Be Served With Fish
or Cold Meats.

It would be pity to let the goose
berry season pass without making
some goosberry jelly to serve with fish
and cold meats. 1t is made by adding
to every cupful Of goosberry pulp two
cupfuls of sugar and letting the whole
boil until it is of a thick, jellylike con-
sistency. To prepare the goosberry
pulp, top and tail" the fruit, then add
enough water to it to prevent burning
Let 1t cook on the stove until the fruit
is soft While cooking pound the fruit
with potato masher, occasionally to
hasten the process When done press
the whole through sieve fine enough
to exclude the seeds and skins. This
gooseberry pulp may be spiced if de-
sired, but it Is delicious without the
spices, and is particularly good with
fried weakfish in midsummer, or, in
fact, with any fish or with cold meats.

belt and strings made to match the

belt and strings made to match the
colored border.
A pillow for baby is easily made OF
four handkerchiefs and strips of inser-
ton to form the diagonals of the
square. Dainty and easy of construc-
ton, with perhaps touch Of pink or
blue If you wish, four handkerchiefs
cannot be put to a better use.
From one kerchief baby cap for a
tiny head can be made in about TWEEN
ty minutes. One edge should be turn
ed back, and fullness allowed for the
head by gathering the rest of the
square at the back; cut off the pointed
flaps and sew into a narrow band of
null or ribbon.
Handkerchief jabots are legion, but
one has been sketched to refresh your
mind, lest you forget.
Lay the kerchief in pleats to see
just how much to allow for the little
tabs at the top. Cut off and sew to-
gether. Ironing will give the tailored
effect of ready-made. A touch of
color, if you wish, can be added by en-
broidering over the raised flowers or
dots.
Don't let the handkerchiefs go to
waste. They can be fashioned into
pretty gifts for your friends, and no
one will appreciate the cleverness of
the idea more than recipients.

Vast Sum Which We Spend on Peanuts

roots of the plant, which furnishes
nitrogen to it from the air.
The result Of all this is that scien-
lists claim that the peanut, which in
the past was not very highly regard
ed, is the only food staple that will
at once nourish man, beast, bird and
fields. 1t is the most nutritious Of the
entire nut family, rich in tissue build
ing properties, containing glucose and
northumberland is the cheapest.
Beyond the shadow of doubt it Is
first from both dietary and econom-
ic standpoint.
The fact Of the matter is the pea
nut in about every way is in a class
by itself as regards price, average
number in pound, edible part, waste
and fat. They average about $50 to
pound at cost Of ten cents, the
edible portion Is 1876, waste 1854, and
the amount of fat is placed at 80 per
cent. These are remarkable figures
when one stops to consider them, and
brought out more clearly when COM
pared with the small Texas pecan, its
nearest competitor, which sells for
over third more, averages but ZIG
to pound, has a waste Of 618 per
cent, edible part of 1872, and contains
sc per cent. of fat
The farming of peanuts during the
past five years-not longer than this
has become an established industry
Of this country. At present about FIVE
sixths of the crop comes from Vir-
ginia and most Of the balance from
Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia
and the Carolinas, although most of
the southern states contribute some.
AS the peanut industry has increased
so has the use of all nuts grown
nightly as an article of food during
the last decade, and the entire fam
lily now forms a most important part
Of the diet of the physical culturist
and vegetarian.

How Old Mother Earth Hides Her Age

1 e Of the Earth" from a more philo-
sophical point of view
The age of the earth always has
been a subject for discussion among
men of science and largely without
any definite agreement among the
representatives of the different
branches of studies on account of the
different points of attack
Briefly, the more recent discussions
as to the earth's age have placed the
time as follows:
Lord Kelvin, in 1868, estimated the
earth's age at 100000 to 100000
and perhaps 9S,000,00O years.
Clarence King and Carl Barus, in
1888, placed the age at 100000
years.
Lord Kelvin in 1897 revised his fig
ures from 100000 to 4O,O00,0Oo
years.
De Lapparent, in 1890, said 1t was
100000 to eO,O0O,OOO years.
Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, in 1893, placed
the maximum age at 100000 years.
]. Jolly, in 1899, estimated the age
of the ocean at 100000 to 100000 900
years.
w. J. Sollas, in 1909, placed the
age of the ocean at S0,000,000 to $780,
100000 years.

THE person who buys a nickel's
worth of peanuts to MUNICH at the
ball game, to feed the squirrels in the
park or to gladden. the hearts of chill
dren at home, scarcely realizes that
he has contributed to an industry that
last year formed million dollar crop,
and which placed on the market in
various forms, reached the enormous
sum Of $36,000,0O0. But it is a fact,
according to Washington statisticians.
This little seductive nut-a resolu-
ton to "eat Just one" Is soon forgot
ten-whose birthplace Is America,
was, until comparatively recently, un-
appreciated either as to the money
in them" or as really nutritious
product. Today the peanut plays an
important part in pleasure, from the
swell dinner party to the ever-present
democracy of the circus, ball game or
picnic. After all, what is a ball game,
picnic or a circus without the peanut
accompaniment?
BY far the largest part Of the crop
is consumed from the peanut stand,
the little whistle sign of the rooster
being the signal for the average
youngster to suggest to dad or ma
that some of them would be very &C.

Crocketed Whip for Baby.

Girls who can crochet or knit will
find a whip made of this handiWork an
attractive gift for baby. The inner
most part is a soft whip. This is
wound around with cotton batting and
then bound with a cord so that it is
securely covered. Then a case for it
is crocheted or knit and put on with
tassel to finish the pointed end, Sc
curely fastened on SO that If the child
tries to put the whip in somebody's
eyes it will not do any more harm
than a soft handkerchief. Bells are
fastened on the whip part way up,
and on the handle end there is loop.
The whip must be SO soft every
where that It cannot possibly do any
harm. It paay be given separately or
with a set of crocheted or knitted
reins.

TURN THE KERCHIEF

Ciefer Woman Can Make the Little

A little handkerchief is a practical
thing if you regard it through the eyes
of the clever woman who makes one
thing in its day play many parts. 1t
is no unusual thing for women to pos
sess more kerchiefs than they can
use. The experiment of turning the
pretty squares to other uses should be
met favorably by the fair sex.
For handkerchief holder, or really
a little laundry bag, the idea is sug-
gested that will occupy very little time
and decorative place of Importance
in the bedroom. Two handkerchiefs
with scalloped edges are effective
when placed together and sewed about
one inch from the edge. A beading on
the outside, two inches from the top,
furnishes serviceable place for the

General Wood May Stir Up the Army

reer. 1t is expected he will under
take most actively a number of re-
forms which might not meet with the
approval Of the army at large,
One of the questions which will be
taken up by General Wood is the
physical test of officers. Since Presi-
dent Roosevelt inaugurated this sys-
tenn, many officers have been hoping
that it would be modified. General
Wood is one Of the foremost of phys
ical culture enthusiasts.
Instead of being made milder, 1t 10
not unlikely that the tests will be
made harder than ever. The detail
Of troops to the Philippines is an.
other matter that will be disposed Of
by General Wood very soon. He has
also number of ideas regarding CO
operation between the regular army
and the militia which he will prob
ably attempt to put into practise.
General Carter, who has been act
ing chief Of staff, will take his place
as assistant chief. General Bliss,
whom he succeeds, will go to San
Francisco to relieve General Barry,
who takes command of West Point.

Secretary Wilson Now the Bug Man

insect might be repealed or destroyed,
they did not see how they could pre-
vent an insect or mitigate him.
The law Is specific in declaring
against misbranding insecticides. II a
well-meaning citizen of the United
States puts up a compound that he
says will rid house Of, say, bugs,
within specified length of time,
there seems no way to determine
whether the compound is misbrand-
ed, unless the secretary of agriculture
goes to the premises and holds
stop-watch on the reaches, to see
whether they mitigate or vacate with
in the time limit.
The biological survey has issued an
informal statement already, saying that
the law is remiss in that it does not
include rats among the insects to
be prevented. An effort is being made
to see whether the law officers are
willing to consider rats as insects.
DR.. Henshaw of the biological sur
vey and Prof. Crittenden of the bu-
reau of entomology are going to call
to their aid the legal advice Of Judge
Pugh of the police court. Judge Pugh,
while assistant district attorney some
years ago, established a reputation In
the police court by arguing that, le-
gally, lop-eared rabbit was a chicken
within the meaning of the act. If any
body can prove sewer rat to be a
centipede Judge Pugh is the man, 1t
is believed.
When congress passed the law 1t
omitted one rather essential point. 1t
did not make any appropriation, for
enforcing it. This hampers the en-
forcement of any law somewhat.

The little submarine boat Salmon,
built for the United States navy,
seems to have shown beyond a doubt
that she is seaworthy. She made a
trip from Quincy, Mass, to Bermuda,
over course where rough weather and
heavy waves are frequently encoun-
tered, and went through a rather try
ing experience. But she stood the test
and has demonstrated that craft of
this kind may be operated effectively
on the surface of the water as well as
below. Her exploit adds another to
the list of American submarines.
