CLEAN THE CLOSETS REGULAR
Apply White Paint With stiff Brush
FOR Light Use Reflection
From Mirror.

A little time should be taken every
cleaning day in inspecting the closets
about the house that are slightly or
not at all used; generally there is one
under the upper stairs or over the cell
lar steps.
These closets are in most instances
so dark that II is almost impossible TO
tell whether they are dirty or not, but
1t is not hard to tell If they need a
cleaning when you try to remember
the last time you gave them thor
ough cleaning.
These forgotten clorets are breeders
Of disease, and they are often to be
found In the very best managed house
holds, for few housewives and still
fewer maids will think Of giving these
dark enclosures the cleaning they
need as regularly as they do the other
rooms of the house.
The dust might appear invisible
when you are not in search OF II, but
If you flash light into the low cell
inged apartment II does not take much
Imagination to picture how amazed
you will be.
A remedy for this is can OF white
paint and a good stout brush. Apply
after a thorough cleaning out OF dir
and wall paper, If there is any.

RED CROSS SEAL IN HISTORY
First Used During the American Civil
War-Now an Aid In Fight
ing tuberculosis.

Red Cross Christmas seals date
stamps" first used for the soldiers
relief funds in Boston in 1862, during
the Civil war. After the war. this
method OF raising money was discon-
tinued in this country for a genera
tion. although It found vogue in Por-
tugal. Switzerland, Australia, France,
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia,
Sweden and other European coun-
tries. There are now several hun
dred different types of charity stamps
used in all parts of the world.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti.tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden In
1904. After being used in these coun-
tries for three years, as direct re-
suit of the interest of Jacob Riis In
this movement. the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis association, headed by
Miss Emily p. Bissell, and the Red
Cross society of Delaware combined
In issuing a tuberculosis stamp. Sc
successful was this campaign that
nearly $4,000 was realized, and the
next year. in 1908, the American Red
Cross was induced to issue a nationa
Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From
this sale, s135,000 was realized, thai
amount being almost doubled in 1909
This year, for the first time, the sale
is organized on comprehensive
basis, taking in all parts of thu
United States. A million for tuber
culosis work is confidently expected.

A Boost from a Booster.

The Gilbert Herald, formerly
known as the Gilbert Booster, is in
line with a boost for the county
division movement in its last issue
in unmistakable terms, in the fol-
towing manner:
Virginia has awakened, at last,
to the call of the rest of the Range.
She has started a movement tor
county division through her Com
mercial Club and evidently means
business from now on. There has
been a lot of newspaper talk about
Virginia accepting political pap in
having the court house built there
and in return was to say nothing
about county division. By her &C
ton last week in starting this move
ment she gives the lie to the asser-
ton that she was bought off. Vir-
ginia's commercial club has called
meeting for next week to be at
tended by delegates from all other
commercial clubs on the range.
Gilbert will have its delegates there
and they will talk county division
strong. While Duluth has not play
ed the hog the last few months as
it did previously, there is no telling
when that city will do the pork act
again and stronger than ever. The
county is large and rich enough to
split and now is the time to do it.
There has been considera BILE talk to
this effect the past three years but
no definite step has been taken un-
til the one taken by the Virginia
club. There is no doubt but what
the time is ripe for the united sup
port of the range, and this united
support will be what is needed to
carry the thing through. Practic-
ally all the cities and villages ad.
nit that Virginia is the logical city
for the county seat and there will
be, it is thought, no division be-
tween ourselves on this point. Talk
county division all the time. Talk
it in your sleep. Sooner or later it
is bound to come"
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1911-01-27

THE idea that the lawyer and the
editor were the only ones interested
in division was thrown to the winds
by the expressions of men in every
vocation of life. The merchant, the
farmer, the lum ALDERMAN joined with
the professional man in emanding
the rights of range citizenship to a
home rule government, each seeing
in the ultimate success of the move
ment points of vantage to every
range interest.

And Virginia Will Stick With That, Too.

This from "the old man hereof of
the Mesaba Ore at Hibbing, may
seem to do an injustice to Virginia
and Virginia's spirit Of fairness,
but we can assure our friend Atkin-
son that he will find Virginia in
line for division at any stage Of the
game under any condition, being
willing to take pot luck" with Hib-
bing, Wolf or Winton on the loca-
cation of the county seat after the
creation of the new county of Iron:
"The Ore believes, and has so
stated repeatedly, that it would be
better to have the law changed so
as to permit the elector to vote for
division and at the same time to
vote for any town of choice as the
permanent county seat. But this
means each town, with an aspira-
ton, would have a chance at the
county seat, and then the affair
would be settled tor all time.
"The Ore is of the opinion that
the Saint Louis county delegation
in the state legislature could have
the law 80 changed without any
difficulty whatever, and it should
be done before the vote is again
taken on the division proposition.
NATURALLY, there are many people
in Hibbing that are of the un.
changeable opinion that Hibbing
is the only logical town tor the
seat of the proposed new county
and there are those who would vote
against division rather than have
the honor and the prestige go to a
rival city. 1t may not be just the
proper spirit, or neighborly, but it
is only human nature, and we are
all of US more or less human. Every
other town, except Virginia, will
feel the same way about it.
There is no question but that
Saint Louis county, bigger than
some states and richer, should be
divided, and that we of the iron
ranges should have county gov
eminent of our own.
mo one will question but that
Virginia, a most beautiful and en-
terprising city, has every qualifca-
ton necessary for the honor, but it
would be fairer and more satisfy.
ing to everyone if the opportunity
were given the voter to cast ballot
in favor of his home town.
"1f Hibbing wants a fighting
chance for the new county seat, if
the county is to be divided, it must
be up and doing and going fast, be-
cause Virginia is already away and
it may be a hard one to catch up
WITH" -. 5 z=s 5..-z.: J.. IL
