JERSEY COAST STYLES
DEAL BEACH, July 10th, 1911

OEAL O1AOuy 0hAy 4Othy AOAAs
With the celebration of the Fourth thu
season may be said to be fairly launched
at the coast resorts, though as the cottage
settlements increase there are plenty of
people here and all along the coast at any
time after the middle Of May.
sartorial Variety
Perhaps it is that all these Jersey water
ing places are within easy shopping ais
tance of New York and Philadelphia Or
perhaps because there are SUCH varieties
of people and circumstances and tastes in
the crowds one tees on boardwalks at
Horse Shows and various iestal doings but
surely everything in the way Of gowns and
headwear is to be seen smartly worn or
otherwise, on the throngs that people
this long stretch of beach from Long
Branch to Cape May.
Prominent Styles
Certain styles ''catch on" with the
right people, and being on the crest of
fashion's.Tave are worth recording not
only for present interest but because they
offer valuable suggestions of coming
modes. All sorts of fancy collars and
fchus and shaped pieces that suggest
boleros, are very much employed. They
lend simple frock the desirable business
that allows it to go almost anywhere and
the girl with 'long wants and short purse
strings" finds help in these for varying
the effect of her few getups. Much of the
Summers fancy work doning on cool
corners of hotel verandas on the beach or
under the trees, takes the form Of en-
broidery on these pretty 6xings, as well
as on blouses of cotton voile, batiste or

ANTHRAX VIRUS FATAL
State Sanitary Live Stock Board
Paid $2,ll5 to Farmers
INCUBATION KILLED ANIMALS

The State Live Stock Sanitary Board
has just paid S2,115 to four farmers in
Blackbird hundred, New Castle county,
causing the deaths of q number of horses
and cattle by inocutations for anthrax.
The fatalities were due TO the fact that the
vaccine, which was made by Dr. Charles
F. Dawson, veterinarian at the State Ex-
pertinent State in connection with Della
ware College, was too strong. The vac
cine was manufactured from anthrax cul-
ture secured by him from the University
of Pennsylvania. DR.. Dawson having
failed to test the culture, its strength was
not known.
The inoculstions we're made from June
Is to June 20 by DR.. H. B. Mcdowell, of
Middletown, veterinarian connected
with the Sanitary Board. A total of 102
animals we're treated before the fatalities
began to appear. Then the vaccine was
called in.
Horace NanDyke, farmer near Walk
er's Schoolhouse, lost three valuable
horses and four COWS. The State authori.
ties paid him $3.50. Henry Hoffecker,
tenant on the farm of ex-Judge Spru.
ance, in the same neighborhood, lost a
half dozen cows. He was paid $3.50.
Samuel Fortner, farmer at Eagles
Nest, lost half dozen COWS and horses,
was allowed $615. Joseph Hutchinson,
tenant on the farm of James W.
Price, nearby, was paid 500 for the in
furious effects the vaccine had upon bis
cattle. None of them died, but they will
probably never regain their former
strength.
The Sanitary Board has held mum.

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW

Dissolve ten cents worth Of gum cam.
phor in one teacup of ammonia or alcohol
and shake well; then add half pint Of
pure olive oil and ten cents worth of
glycerin; shake well before using. This
liniment will cure sCiatic rheumatism by
rubbing the parts in pain from six to
eight weeks, and will not return. It will
take the swelling from sore throat.
Chop finely one pound Of clean beef;
put in jar and cover closely. Place in
a pan of cold water and bring gradually
to boil; simmer gently for three hours.
This will draw every drop of juice from
the meat. Drain and add little salt. A
splendid nourishment for invalids.
The names OF the new colors, or more
correctly speaking the new names OF old
colors fashionable this year, are so many
that to attempt to learn them all wearies
one. Every fsh, flower and fruit has its
fashionable namesake this year, and now
fashion is starting on the vegetables and
foodstuffs. The difference between butter
color and mayonnaise yellow must be at
once distinguushable by those who pre-
tend to know aught of the fine shadings
OF gowns. This is to be season OF
bright colors. II must be said that there
is a more marked difference than usual
between the gowns of young people and
their mothers aud that this difference ls
noticeable chiefly in the colors which
they adopt.
Warm the soles OF new shoes. While
they are warm paint them with copal
varnish. When it dries paint them
again. Three such coats will not only
make the soles waterproof, but will make
them last twice as long
A slice of lemon put into the copper
when boiling clothes will make them
beautifully white and will remove all
stains from handkerchiefs and children's
clothes. Cut the lemon with the rind
into slices and allow it to remain in the
boiler until the clothes are ready to come
out.
A heavy broom should be chosen for
thorough sweeping in preference to a
light one, for the weight adds to the
process. Test new broom by pressing
the edge against the floor. II the straws
bristle out and bend the broom is poor
one and should be rejected; they should
remain in a firm solid mass.

To Wash Laees

To wash real laces, makea suds of tepid
water, white soap and borax. Borax
will whiten the lace and loosen the dirt.
Place the lace in bowl, cover with q
towel and allow them to soak. Change
the water once OF twice, and rinse the ar
tIcles several times. In the last rinsing
water add few drops of gIycerine, Stir
il through the warm water, dip the pieces
and lay them upon towels to dry. Do
not stretch or pull the laces. Cover
them with tissue paper and press with
medium hot iron. All real lace has some
oil in the thread. lis free from aIkali.
Never use blueing.

brooch in the jewel case.
Low Cut Necks

Low cut necks and elbow sleeves are so
universally worn that the woman whose
neck is not quite up to the revelations
that the sun makes of any defect in con-
tour or smoothnese, must resort to the
various camps and cuffs that fill in such
frocks acceptably. PerfectsblV plain
camps and collars of net or fine EN-.
broidery are the preferred filings. At a
little distance those made of plain, very
open, mesh lace are almost imperceptible
and they have the added merit of being
cooler and more easily freshened than the
fussy camps OF other seasons.
For Blouses
For biouses there is rumor that we
are to 60 back to the sewed.in sleeve but
so for there is little seen of such styles
among the fashionable contingent.

The Minnesota Legislature of 1911
will go into history as one of small
accomplishments and much noise. The
disorder which has prevailed in the
house would seem impossible in ma
ture men of high standing in their re-
spective communities, and yet this
disorder even reached to the point of
physical encounter. There are many
contributing causes to the condition
of affairs, but chief among them is
that during the Klemer episode Speak
er Dunn lost his self-control. and i'm
mediately there after lost his control
of the house. Undoubtedly majority
of the house were in favor of reform
measures. but they lacked leaders in
whom they had confidence and in the
chaotic condition which prevailed, the
disorder itself was made to serve the
purposes of the opponents of reform
legislation. A long list of good bills
were thus defeated because they were
never reached. The Dunn goods roads
bill and the popular election of United
States senators are mentioned as about
the only important reform bills pass
ed, and there is certainly no crying
need for the popular election of SEN
ators in this state. Distance tariff, 5
per cent earnings tax, the road-house
bill, the recall. initiative and refer
endum, primary reform are among
the measures which failed simply be-
cause the antireform forces made the
most of the chaotic condition prevail
ing.
