Greek Letter Party.

From the Galesburg Republican-Reg-
lister of Saturday evening:
The Illinois Delta chapter of Pi
Beta Phi entertained Friday evening
at their annual promenade, with per
haps fifty couples In attendance. The
party was given in Elk's hall and the
excellent music was furnished by See
lig's orchestra. In the course of the
evening programs of sixteen dances,
four extras was danced. The most
charming feature was the Pi Beta Phi
extra which came after the twelfth
dance. The lights of the hall were
dimmed SO that the only light was
furnished by the star suspended in
the center of the room. The young
ladies then appeared each with a
bunch of the fragrant Joss-sticks, and
during the dance following the effect
was most pleasing; on the second
encore the orchestra played GLOW

4 Great Aid In the Dairy

Professor Deans first advice to dairy
men is-@Ciean the pals, cans and sep
arators thoroughly, at least once or twice
a day"
Soap and water remove surface dirt
but they do not thoroughly remove all
the little germs which sour and faint
the milk. The greatest of all clcansers
is Gold Dust washing powder 1t not
only removes all the visible dirt and
grease, but goes deep after every trace
of impurity. and leaves the milk pals,

and safe. Moreover, it does the work
more quickly and easily than any other

Death Shortly After Noon Today Of
Well Known, Highly Respected
Citizen Of
keokuk.
SEVENTY SIX YEARS OLD
Was Nine Years Old When He Came
to This City With His Rela-
tlves and Was
Old Settler.

In the house in which he built, was
married and had lived continuously for
over half a century, George F. Gill
more, the contracting carpenter and
old citizen of Keokuk, died this
afternoon at 1880 o'clock, after a
life which caused one who knew him
we'll to say that God never made a
better man.
The breaking down incident to old
age carried him OF, and he was born
seventy-six years ago in New York
City. He was only eleven years old
when his family came to Keokuk,
crossing Pennsylvania and, the Ale
ghany mountains by stage and canal,
and coming the rest of the way by the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers. That
was before Iowa was a state and
when Keokuk was an outpost of civ
ilization. About fifty-two years ago
he was married to Miss Tanzan Ackley
in the home h had prepared at 1922
Orleans street, and there he lived
and died.
He Lived Model Life.
Mr.. Gilmore learned thoroughly the
trade of stair building when 1t was
one of the most skilled branches OF
carpentry; later he worked at car
pentry in general and became con-
tractor in the building trade. A few
years ago he retired from active life
and has been living quietly since then.
Among all his large acquaintance,
he was respected and admired for his
fine character While he was not
active in any church movement, he
lived the sermon on the mount in his
daily life to a remarkable degree
Straightforward, gentle. firm in his
convictions, he treated others as he
desired to be treated and his whole
life was based on the Golden Rule AS
a result he had very many firm friends
in Keokuk where practically all of his
life was spent
He had FIVE daughters of whom four
are living. and he is also survived by
four grandchildren. His daughters
all of whom live in Keokuk. are
Mrs. w. e. Strimback Mrs F. ]

In housekeeping ammonia has many

with cupful of water in which a
teaspoonful of ammonia has been
mixed, will renew it's freshness, while
black silk will lose it's Objectionable
shininess by such a sponging. A lit
tie ammonia will remove grease from
collars, and when rubbed over corsets
will cleanse them to a nicely. When
mixed with equal parts of turpentine,
ammonia will remove paint stains
from cloth. If the paint is stubborn
it may require several applications be-
fore the work is done. Persevere.
Nothing is so good for boys tweed
suits as to sponge them with the am
monia mixture. For toilet use, small
quantity will soften the water in
which the hair is washed and aid in
cleansing the scalp. 1t renders the
bath delightful, and carpets, when
thoroughly gone over with ammonia
and water, are surprisingly restored
to something like their original fresh

ROOM THAT is sOUND-PR0OF
Remarkable Chamber at University OF
Utrecht That Was Constructed
for Scientific Experiments,

The Physiological institute of the
University of Utrecht possesses one OF
the most remarkable rooms in the
world, a chamber about seven and a
half feet square, which is said to be
absolutely noisoless, as far as the
entrance of sounds from outside is con-
cerned.
This room is situated on the top
story of a laboratory building, and is
an inside room, but so arranged that
1t can be ventilated and inundated
with sunshine. The walls, floors and
ceiling each consist Of half a dozen
layers Of different substances, with air
spaces and interstices allied with
sound-deadening materials
Some persons when in the room ex-
perience a peculiar sensation in the
ears. While every effort has been
made to exclude sounds that are not
wanted, of course the object of con-
structing this singular room was to
experiment with phenomena connected
with sound. Some Of the sounds en-
ployed are made in the room itself;
others are introduced from outside by
means of q copper tube, which is
plugged with lead when not in use.

THERE THE SAUSAGE is HOLY
Highest Aim of Good German Is to
Evolve New Brand of
"Wurst."

While in this country one may puT-
chase many varieties Of sausage, it is
to Westphalia, Prussia, that we must
look for the sausage in all it's glory,
says Harper's Weekly. There, it is
said, trader will name you no fewer
than four hundred different kinds, and
they present bewildering array Of
divers substances in their compost
ton.
At a German sausage exhibition
held not so long ago at Berne, in
Switzerland, there were displayed
1875 kinds of sausage from various
countries. 1t is said that good Ger
man would rather invent a new sau-
sage than anything else. At any rate
there is told the story of the young
Prussian who, though he had received
an expensive training as a chemist,
shut himself up in his laboratory and.
instead of devising new dye, safety
match, motor engine, explosive, aero
plane or Photographic lens, took pork,
veal, olives, pepper, fennel, old wine,
cheese, apples, cinnamon and her
rings roes, and from them evolved a
wonderful and totally original "wurst,"
the best of it's kind. He has amassed
a considerable fortune from its sale.

At last its owner grew weary Of

over its internal stupidity. One day,
when the rain was pouring extra

from the wall, and took it out into the
