Up-to-Dat News Of

INVENTION OF WOMAN
WILL EXTERMINATE PEST.

SAVANNAH, June 19.--With women
taking their stand alongside of men In
the business, professional and scientific
world, 1t appears that the climax is go
ing to be capped in the South by the
general determination of the cotton boil
weevil through the invention of a wom-
an. Such Is the belief of the officials
at h Georgia department Of agricul-
ture, who are carefully looking into the
merits of a letter received from a
woman who declares she has perfected
a preparation which, when scattered In
the fields, absolutely prevents the weeVfl
from entering them and kills those that
are already there.
II the invention prove to be able to
do all that is claimed for 1t, the spend
ing of a few thousands Of dollars in
Georgia will prevent the weevil from
invading this State at all. It is said
that 1t has already been tested private
ly In the West. and that 1t is effective
against potato bugs n other pests as
well as weevils.

FOR AN ACHING HEAD,


Too late going to bed, too early ris-
ing or anything that promotes want OF
sleep are fertile causes of headaches.
Brain repair goes on during sleep
People often don't know, or forget this.
If you are worrying or working hard
all day then go to bed late and get up
early, you are very likely to be a
martyr to headache" More sleep Is
what you iced to cure You.
For all headaches hot TO-
mentations are most comforting and
curative. They are far better than
cold applications.
Want Of exercise, living in badly ven
tilated rooms, indigestion or anything
that lowers the health, predisposes to
headache.
When headaches are not cured by
simple means a doctor should be o
suited. They NEAR something.
When hot Concentrations are used the
application of them to the nape of the
neck, as well as to the forehead, will
give more relief than If used to the
forehead only. To heat the spinal cord
soothes the brain.

TO CLEAN STRAW.

When only the straw is at fault it
can be kept clean quite easily.
Rub all the exposed places with stale
bread crumbs. Break a crust into
small pieces and wipe over the hat in
the grain of the straw till it is soiled;
her take a fresh piece.
For rough light straw, where crumbs
are apt to stick, washing with alcohol
is a cleanser.
If the trimming must come off a pam
anna or leghorn 1t a be ~freshened
with equal portions of precipitated sui
phur and oxalic acid.
Dissolve a half t~easpoonful in a half
glass of cold water and apply to the
hat with a sponge until perfectly clean.
Dry in the sun and the hat will look
as If it had been in the hands of a pro-
fessional cleaner.

Keeping Company"

MISS POyntef.
Kindly settle the following argu-
ment; A claims that when two persons
are keeping company, although not
engaged, either one has the right to
accept attentions from friends of the
opposite sex without any injustice.
B claims that If one OF the parties de-
votes all of his or her time to the one
person whose company he or she Is
keeping it is no more than fair and
just for the other party to act in like
manner. Awaiting an early reply, /
remain, respectfully, A READER.
The keeping company" stage is
omitted in these days. Until a man
and woman become engaged each is
free to do as he pleases without con-
sulting the other. If the one party
wishes to devote all his time to the one

Mr.. BRANDEIS FAVORS
MATERNITY INSURANCE.

BOSTON, Mass, June 19.-Louis D.
Brandeis, the anti-railroad trust law
vel, came out yesterday in advocacy Of
a State insurance for prospective moth
ers.
Maternity insurance must come, and
it will" says Mr.. Brandeis, ever ready
to lay aside his countless cares to talk
about the betterment of the status of
the workingman.
my plan is that women should be
forced In their own interest to become
members of some society, preferably
one under direct government control.
In the event of her becoming a mother,
and therefore being obliged to give up
working for six weeks (by law). the
mother would be entitled to draw on
the fund for money"

THINGS TO KNOW.


A little work basket in the guest
room is often a great comfort, and one
of those little things which a guest
particularly appreciates.

In which it is being cooked.
When hot dishes have made marks
on your polished dining table rub with
spirits of camphoT 1t will remove
them.
When Eggs are scarce, and they are
needed for buildings, a dessert-spoon =
full of cornstarch may be substituted
for n egg.
When wells are washed at home they
usually come out quite timber and
fimsy. To give them stiffness add a
pinch of sugar to the rinse water.
Bread dressing may be served with
a pot roast as well as one put in the
oven. The bread should be baked
separately In a cake tin.

You are right to avoid eating rich
pastries and greasy food. .Overeating

and any disorder of this system Is al
most sure to result in a poor com

person that is his own choice and does
not make it obligatory for the other
party to do the same. However, when
they entered into an engagement their
freedom is more or less limited. No
nan cares to have his fiancee going to
places of amusement or receiving the
attentions of other men any more than
she cares to have hin paying atten-
ton to other girls. If engaged people
live in different parts Of the country
they often grant each other permission
to attend certain functions at which
social obligations require their pres-
ence, and to which they cannot go
without al escort. 1t is wise even in
such cases to be accompanied by a
chaperone, and n must always be-
sure that the person acting as escortSor
being escorted knows Of the existing
engagement.

SMART AND PRACTICAL
GOWN.

Gowns that are made in ,shirt-waist
style are always practical for summer
wear. This season the blouses in sailor
style, cut with peasant sleeves, are ex-
ceedingly smart and much liked. This
one includes a big sailor collar and
shield, and can be finished with a
round neck or with a standing collar,
as preferred. The skirt is a plain six
gored one, and six-gored skirts are ex-
ceedingly smart this season, and at
the same time they are essentially
practical. They launder successfully,
and they are in every way desirable
n attractive. This dress Is made of
pale blue linen, with collar and cuffs
Of darker color, edged with black
and white stripes, while the shield Is
of white. Buff with trimmings of
black Is liked this season, and is
smart; white with colored collar and
cuffs is exceedingly attractive, and
many of the darker, more serviceable
colors, such as wistaria, are trimmed
in contrast or made of one tone, with
embroidery of white to give relief.

FRIENDSHIP HINTS.


Some natures are more capable of
easily forming friendships thar others.
Real friends are scarce, and once a
real friend is found he or she is worth
keeping. Mountaineering Is the APP
premiership of true friends. but many
acquaintances can never become any
thing else. The balance of friendship
finds them wanting.
The best way to retain a friend is
never to interfere In family or bust
ness privacy. Don't presume on liking
or affection to impose on your friends
time or arrangements. Always give
and take. Your peculiarities are prob
ably as disagreeable to your friend as
his or hers are to you. Endure them
and so avoid chickering's.

drawn. We expected her to be angry;
they usually are. But she wasn't.
