The Selfish Member of the
Household.

There is usually one member Of
household to whom others give way
at every point, and it is the least de-
serving, as a rule, who has the best
time. ! know one girl who by sheer
temper and selfisbness rules the other
members Of the family. She secures
the best of what is going; she has
consideration shown to her; she has
first choice in the shape of amuse-
ment. In short, whoever goes without,
she does not. Pleasant as it appears
to outsiders, that girl has paid a
heavy penalty for her good times. She
has lost the love and good comrade-
ship Of those about her. They would
never dream of seeking her sympathy
and advice In an emergency. Each
year as it passes finds her selfishness
and tyranny more deeply rooted than
before. People give in to her whims
and temper for the sake of escaping
"a scene" and she gets her own way

The juice of a lemon in hot water

A dash of lemon juice in plain water
Is an excellent tooth wash 1t not only

A School For Eye Expression.

No longer need the maiden with the
dull orbs be jealous of her rival with
the sparkling, mischievous eyes.
A progressive woman has founded a
school to make eyes expressive. First
the aid of a first class ocunst is called
upon to find out if any real defect lies
back of the lack Of expression. Next
the pupil is seated in front of tndlvid-
ual mirrors. practice sIdelong, straight

educated in their own language as her

After the course is over the pupil is
amazed to ind how much more ex-

Princess Luise, or "Luisschen," as
the German people affectionately call

her own little kitchen off the big one

QUEEN REVIvES
ART or TATTINl3


~ ARllEN SYLVIA, the be2uti-
& ful silver haired queen Of
u E0um4uia, has entered new
line for her in literature by
writing all elaborate introduction to a
book on the old fashioned Art Of
Tatting." which has just been put out
in London by Lady Hoare.
The queen is one Of the most enthu-
siastic and skillful opponents Of the
use of "grandmOthers' shuttles' and
some very beautiful examples of her
handiwork from the principal illus
traticns in a book which is of consid-
cradle value.
In her introduction Queen Elizabeth
SAYS: "T2tting has the charm of lace
making and weaving combined. 1t is
the same shuttle as in the weaving
loom only that the loom is our fingers
and the shuttle ohrys our thoughts and
! the invention of the moment. The JOY
when 4 new stitch is found is very
gre#t,~

or ce.mtrutpd Womau" that the intro
/ dr~tion is specially 6cGicuted-the W0-
! MAJ "whv is rot condemned to earn
hard bread with hard work"
With true w0manIiuess also Carmen
Sylvia says:
Il have often piled mon-in tie first
place because they can't know mother
hood. III the second because they are
bereft of our greatest comfOrt-noedle-
work. Our needIework is so much bet
ter than their smoking-it is so un0b-
trusiyp"
There Is the same charm in the writ
ing Of this little introduction which
characterizcs everything from the pen
Of Carmen Sylvia.
Lady Hoare tells us that no one has
done more to raise the work of tatttng
to a fine art than the queen Of Rouma-
MIA. The origin of the art of tattlng Is
very old aud may be traced to macTa
me work. the oldest of all kinds of lace
which is found, for example, in the
twisted threads and knotted fringes II
the wrappings in the tombs OF upper
Egypt. and tatting is only knotttne
made with a shuttle and is entirely
composed of knots made on running
thread.
Lady Hoare tells us good deal about
the history of the art and the probable
derivation of the name, and her BOOB
contains an interesting description o.

This is an excellent way to
keep salt dry In damp weather:
To four ounces of well dried Ia

Charles c. Eldridge and Edwin J.

les Manufacturing Company, against

principal owners.
The plaintiffs aiiege in their petition
that they have been manufacturing a
spark plug on which they have patents
pending and that they are the as
signees and owners Of certain i'm
provements in the spark plug invent
ed and made by Charles F. Johnson,
which they have been marketing I'M
der the name of the "Hel-h'' plug.
They also claim that last October
they employed Hansen TO be an auto
mobile salesman. he to remain with
them during the winter TO become
familiar with the business and be
ready for the 1911 trade. They con-
tinue by alleging that while Hansen
was in their employ they We're devel-
oping and experimenting with the
manufacture of the spark plug and
that Hansen became familiar with its
improvements and methods Of manu-
featuring It.
Hansen. according to the petition,
left the employ of Eldridge and Beebe
and joined with Sinclair in the manu-
facture of a spark plug called the "

The plaintiffs ask that the Mar

ing Company be enjoined from making
the plug in imitation of the one they
have patents pending on and that he

fits Of the defendant company.
There is nothing to their claim, and

CONTAMINATION, HOWEVER, is

THREE SAMPLES REPORTED ON
BY STATE CHEMIST KINNEY
That From Reservoir is Declared Good,
But From Two Other Services, One
Down Town and One in Depot Dis

Forms, Indicating Pollution in Mains.

That the city water is good at the
source of supply and the reservoir
where it is contained before pumping
to consumers, and yet, in certain quar-
ters at least, becomes polluted before
reaching the consumer, is shown in a
report received Friday night by City
Physician T c. Brady from Prof. c.
y. Kinney, Des Moines, chemist of the
state board of health.
DR.. Brady selected one sample at
the source of supply. the reservoir, a
second at his own office. on East Main
street. and third at the Mcbride &
VIII store on South Third avenue.
sample No. l is found to contain
only q small amount Of algae and no
animal forms, and is declared to be in
good condition, and subject 10 little
criticism.
Sample No. ,. from DR.. Brady's Of
fee, shows the presence of much algae,
and numerous animal forms. DR. Kin
,ssy says Of this sapIc that i i n
about the same condition as sample

present indicates q dirty condition of
the main or that surface water is
gaining access to the original water as
pumped. III both OF these samples
come from the same well. and no ami
NAL life is observed in the water from

reporting on it Professor Kinney says:

show up so we'll. and in my opinion
this water IS in a defective con-

life present. and organic matter runs
UP quite high, which should not he

VIII Recommend Cleaning Mains.
DR. Brady said today that he would
recommend to the board of health that
the water mains be more thoroughly
cleaned If possible. in order that the
Objectionable matter may be overcome
Dr.. Brady thinks that Professor Kin
ney does not understand that all of
the water sent him came from the
same source. and the chemist reports,
tho he understood the samples may
have been from different sources DR..
Brady is Of the opinion that the trouble
with samples and are local only.
and due to the fact that services and
mains are not clean.

Of the report today. he said that his
