DeseMoines, May 9.-The progressive
republican state committee met last
night in its headquarters in the Flem-
ing building and made the final ar
rangements for the big Cummins-Dol-
liver meeting at the Coliseum Tuesday
night.
Ushers and vice presidents were ap-
pointed and the minor details of the at
fair arranged.
Because of the short time before the
meeting the progressives have found it
impossible to make arrangements
whereby seats can be numbered and re-

est part Of the balcony has been roped
off, however, and will be reserved for

committee.
With no admission charges and no
tickets, everything absolutely free, the
progressives figure on filling the vast
building to the roof. The band concert
will begin early and the speeches will
begin promptly at 1880 o'clock.
Great enthusiasm and interest has
been stirred up owe the state by the
coming of the senator's Fresh from the
firing line in the senate and with the
advance promise that the issues of the
day will be discussed plainly, local pro-
gressive leaders anticipate that the
senators will say things which will
start the ball rolling and send the Iowa
progressives rushing On with their
campaign to the primaries, sweeping all
before them.
At his time nothing but extreme
confidence prevails in the headquarters
of Governor Garst and Judge Prouty.
Each sees nothing in the primary but
victory for the progressive cause.

ginger into the congressional campaign

opponent, Captain ]. "A. 7. Hull. The
interrogations were a part Of his speech
delivered at Maxwell.
Judge lProuty wants Captain Hull to
come out openly and say what curse
he will pursue should he be sent back
to congress. Judge Prouty wants the
congressman to say whether he will
support Cannon for speaker again, OF
any candidate for speaker put up by
the Cannon organization. He wants tc

NO many women the laundry Is the
least Interesting part of the
home, and often the weekly
washing and ironing are the
work most dreaded by the entire family.
In fact, in many homes they prove to
be the one fnsurmountahle task. and
because no other solution Is found for
the problem the washing is sent to the
laundry or is done In any way and by
any one so long as 1t is, taken out OF
the house. Why the washing ana iron
ing should prove such unpleasant work
as to cause both mistress and maid to
rebel against 1t has always been a mys-
terry to me. l a explain It only by the
natural supposttlon that neither knows
how to do 1t we'll ana that the posi-
bilities for doing the work quickly.
easily and thoroughly are few In most
houses. We generally hnd that a prop
erly equipped laundry is among the
last things to be added to the house
and that In the majority Of cases a
tub or two, perhaps a washing ma
chine of possible merit and occasion
ally a wrinser comprise the average
washing outfit In private homes OF
moderate means. And. smafl as that
equipment Is. 1t can be made to give
very satisfactory results If a little
knowledge and intelligence are brought
to the task. The trouble is most wo-
men do not like to wash becaus they
have not been taught to do 1t prop
erly and because they make extremely
hard work Of 1t. They appreciate to
some degree fine fabrics and dainty
clothing, but they do not, as a rule.
appreciate these to the extent that
makes them DESTROYS Of preserving
materials and colors.
While It Is difficult at any time and
in almost any locality to obtain well
trained helpers for Homework, It Is
often an easier task to get a good cook
or housema!d than It is to find q first
