GOOD HOME REMEDIES
FOR CHAPPED LIPS
NOSE AND MOUTH.
min Condition of Blood Is Often ~a-
sponsible for Such Sores-Lotion
Must Be Both Healing
and Soothing.

1T is a curious fact that cracks, or
what is more frequently called chap
ping, about the lips, nose and mouth
may all be given different applica-
tions. although the treatment re-
mains the same for cure. In most
instances such sores are due probably
to thin condition of the blood, for
which phosphates are beneficial If
taken internally, but this is matter
for physician to decide.
In any event, whatsoever is used to
cure must be not only healing but
soothing, and few preparations en-
body these two elements. If the sore
is kept soft constantly it cannot heal,
for the skin at the edges will not dry.
For this reason if a person has no
astringent materials talcum powder is
better than nothing, for it will cause
the edges to dry. Except as last
resort, however, it has no virtue.
Such cracks should be protected
from effects of the air before going
out of doors, and if grease is applied
a little powder should be rubbed over
IL W AldhS uIy ou1LdCO" wi fanny
something must be put on or the sore
will grow deeper.
When crack appears in the mouth
there may be used on such a spot
cream made from one-fourth of
dram of hyposulphite of soda, with
one dram each of ointment of rose wa
ter and oxide of zinc. The spot is to
be anointed with this lotion con-
stantly.
Only persons who have suffered
with a crack about the nose know how
painful this is. For such sore an
ointment made from one dram of
cerate of subacetate of lead, one and
one-half grains of cocaine hydrochlor-
ate and one dram Of lsnoline will be
efficacious This cure must be ap-
piled locally Powder may be put on

shows this to be an extremely econom-
ical design to build.
The hip roof, while being the most
artistic and satisfactory type for this
kind of building, is also the most
economical. The plan is very nearly
square in general outline and so can
be constructed and arranged to good
advantage without waste of time and
material
The floor plans show the desirable
features of arrangement. Three fine
rooms are provided on the first floor,
besides the large porch and entrance
hall. The living room is of the mod
ern large-sized style with home-like
fireplace. Attention is called to the
convenient arrangement of dining
room, pantry and kitchen.
On the second floor there are four
good-sized bedrooms, with large
closet space attached The bath room
is conveniently located. Altogether
this design is one of the most sails
factory for suburban and city use O.
any design executed this year. Home
builders can get many good ideas
from the study of these plans.

The well-to-do suburban builder is
getting rather particular about the
kind of house he puts up. 1t is not
enough to simply provide comfortable
shelter for his family and have room
enough for all; but the general style
and appearance of the house has to be
given due thought so that it will work
N well with it's surroundings and cln-
form in size and style to what his
friends and neighbors consider neces-
sary for his home. Something OF
spaciousness, dignity and hospitality
has to be embodied in such struc-
ture. The exact order of architecture
to be used may not be prescribed
some of those details are left to the
home builder himself and to his archi-
tect-but nevertheless custom pre-
scribes the quality and general char
Rcter Of the building
One of the features that public opin-
ION is coming more and more to re-
quire is that suburban dwellings
should be as nearly fireproof or fire
resisting as possible. Fire protection
in small towns and suburban locali-
ties is very seldom all that it should
be. Common business sense directs
that in such locations extra precau-
lions should be taken, especially for
residences, to make them as nearly
freproof as possible. This carries
with 1t the obligation to build sub
stantially and we'll, at the same time
using as artistic a design as may be,

To Protect Sleeves.

Dresses and shirtwaists always be-
come soiled and worn on the sleeves
faster than anywhere else and sepa-
rate black sleeves soil almost immedi-
ately. or at least leave marks on any
white waist with which they are
worn.
A good idea is to make oversleeves
of closely-woven old white stocking
legs. Cut them off the desired length,
using the top of the stocking as the
upper part of the oversleeve, and in
the lower edge make a narrow hem
and run elastic. No elastic is needed
at the top as the woven material will
stop in place and has further ad-
vantage of not making creases in the
sleeve of the shirtwaist as it would
vare elastic inserted in the top.

SO that the building which is to last
for three or four generations will
throughout all that time be a source
of pride to the owner and an improve
ment to the neighborhood
The design illustrated on this page
will be found to fulfill all these con-
ditions and to recommend itself as be-
ing at once dignifed and attractive in
appearance, substantial in constrlc
ton and, using permanent materials,
is as near fireproof as residence can
be made with practical success.
The general type of this house is of
the popular brick veneer-cement plas-
ter combinati.sa which has proved so
satisfactory for suburban work during

HEADS RAILROAD ENGINEERS

Grand Chief Engineer Warren S.
Stone Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, on behalf Of the mem
bers Of the brotherhood, accepted the
agreement offered by the railroad man
ayers by which nearly $4,000 Of his
fellows are to benefit. Four million
dollars year is what it will cost 81
western railroads to make good the
provisions Of the settlement.
In spite of their repeated assertions
that they had reached the limit, the
managers made concessions in the
face of a threatened strike. Conces-
sions were made by the men also, but
they established two of the chief
points for which they contended-jur-
isdiction over motor trucks and an
increased schedule for the Mallet type
of locomotive.
Chief Stone in his letter to the COM
missioner of labor said: after thor
oughly considering the proposal and

Selling Eggs by Weight.

The decision of the new head of the
bureau of weights and measures not to
issue an order compelling merchants
to sell eggs by weight will be welcome
news to tradespeople and not disap-
pointing to housewives. While in
some respects the weighing system is
better than sales by the dozen, the
additional trouble and the difficulty
of making exact weight Offset the ad-
vantages. When this reform was pro
posed some months ago it created con-
siderable interest, but it was not well
coined as a remedy for any of the
evils which the bureau of weights and
measures is attempting to correct

A MISSOURI SUPREME JUDGE

Governor Hadley of Missouri recent.
ly announced the appointment OF
Judge Franklin Ferris Of st. Louis for
supreme Judge to succeed the late
Gavon D. Burgess.
Franklin Ferris is sixty-one years
of age and has been a practicing at
torney in st. Louis since 1874. He
was native of New York and was
graduated from Cornell university in
the class of 1873, coming to Missouri
the next year.
Though active in Republican poll
tics, he did not hold office until 1898,
when he was elected a member of the
city council, the upper house Of the
municipal assembly Of st. Louis. He
was made president pro tempore. At
that time Charles Nagel, now secre-
tary of commerce and labor, was the
presiding officer Of that body. Soon
after the four-year term ended in 1898
he was nominated Judge Of the circuit
court and elected.

WOMEN TRY TO
TIE UP CENSUS
Want the Ballot and Go on
Strike for It.

London, april 3.-The suffragettes
have gone on Il strike against the cen
sus enunerators throughout Great
Britain, as they had threatened to do.
Many left their homes so as not to be
counted and assembled in Trafalgar
square. A large number of men were
attracted in the hope Of seeing some
excitement, but there was a large
force Of police on hand, and the entire
performance was very unimpreSSiVe,
although q few youths e~ndeavored to
even things up by linking arms and
rushing the crowd. When this began
the police took a hand and cleared the
square in short order.
The women went to a skating rink a
half mile away. They had hired 1t in
advance, and admission was by ticket.
A number Of young men, apparently
medical students, tried to rush the en-
trance, and a desperate struggle en-
sued. Men and women were mixed
up IN the fray, and no respect was
shown either to individually or sex, A
tussle took place for the possession Of
the doorway, but the members Of the
Mems Woman Suffrage league saved
the day. They repulsed the disturb
ers, but the police gave them no as
sistance. The members Of the force
looked idly on while the struggle was
I'm progress and seemed to enjoy the
spectacle.
When the women finally made their
way into the rink they found that the
attendance was not up to expectations.
Not more than 900 tickets in all had
been disposed of in advance. Not
more than 500 Of the holders showed
up AT the meeting, Inside the hall
they were extremely orderly. They
made speeches. sang songs and lis
tened to a woman's march conducted
by Miss Ethel Smyth, the actress.
They planned to spend the entire
night in the hall and go to a friendly
restaurant for breakfast. The emu
merators, 1t was reported, would at
tempt to count the women as they
dled out to their meal.

FIRE DESTROYS
COAL POCKET
BIazs Ties Up Traffic at St.
George for a Tine.

A fire in the sixty-foot coal pocket
In the yard of the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Railway, at st. George,
about s O'Clock last night drew a
large crowd of spectators from that
section of the island. Many were
drawn there by the thought that the
big municipal f%erryhouse at St,
George was on fire.
For a time all trains on the Rapid
Transit system and trolley cars were
tied up by the fire. Engineer VIII
liam White, of Wood avenue, Tot
tenville, went through the flames
with his engine twice and succeeded
In getting out a number of cars near
the pocket. Many that gathered to
watch the flames that lighted up the
entire waterfront at that place had
signed a petition three years ago
asking the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road Company to refrain from build
ing the thing.
There was another fire in the coal
pocket once, but the damage on hat
occasion was not so great as that
done yesterday. 1t is estimated that
this time 1t will take at least $4,000
to make the coal pocket as homely
as it was before.
