Effect of Ultra Violet Rays.

The ultra violet rays have fatal
effect on bacteria, and as these rays
are abundantly developed by the mer-
curry vapor lamp, a device has been
designed abroad for the sterilizing OF
milk, which is accomplished effective
ly in few minutes, it is said. The
milk flows in thin stream along an
electric light. Demonstrations were
first made with water infected with
different kinds OF bacteria. and 1T is
said that the water was purified in a
few minutes, without appreciably in
creasing it's temperature. The result
is attributed to the ozone formed I'm.
der the influence of the light, but the
demonstrations must be conducted
where there is sufficient room for the
light to burn freely This method OF
sterilization, without heating or add
ing preservatives, is believed to have
great hygienic value in respect to
nursing children.

HOME SEWER MAY SAVE TIME
As Little 5astIng as Possible Should
BE the AIm-Not Hard to Hold
tho Work Together.

1t saves time and eyesight to do as
little basting as possible for machine
sewing. In making up supplies OF
clothes, such as underwear and school
dresses, ETC., it is worth while to
haste and fit accurately one of each
thing, then rip it apart and trim all
the rest to its exact proportions.
Begin sewing on the straight seams,
so as to accustom yourself to simply
hold your work together-it Is no
trick at all once you catch the hang OF
it. Fold down hens and crease tucks,
keeping them fiat and smooth under
the presser foot as you sew. Gather
on the machine, regulate the fullness
properly and you can sew the gathers
the same as a plain seam. Even
sleeves can be held in as they are
sewed, but this is after one is expert.
At first it is best to haste them. Gull
tivate likewise the habit of running
of one seam onto another. With light
stuff hold strip of paper underneath
while sewing, and tear 1t off after
wards. Wherever possible use the
English bag seam; 1t is neat and strong
and lends itself beautifully to no
baSting.

Moore had consumed about two
inches off one of these, and was en-
veloped in cloud of smoke like a fire

anti-tobacco society was ushered into
his Office to ask him to cooperate with
them in taking tobacco from every liv-

will be to get rid of them as soon as
possible, SO that they will not be
communicating influence among the
men for whom there is hope for re-
form. The great majority, however,
are expected to reform and make good
soldiers. The new military reform is
an English idea, and the putting into
effect Of the plan in the United States
is the result of a long investigation OF
the English system made by the judge
advocate general OF the army. The
English system has been in effect sew
eral years and has resulted in a
marked benefit to the army.
The first movement toward the adop-
ton of the system in the United States
army was the recent order for the
transfer of all military prisoners con-
victed of felonies under the civil stat
utes to Alcatraz Island, Cal, and Fort
Jay, N. Y, for confinement, and pris-
oners convicted of purely military Of
lenses or civil offenses amounting only
to misdemeanor, to the Fort Leaven-
worth prison. Several things are yet
to be done before the British plan can
be adopted in its entirety, but it is
hoped by the military authorities that
congress at it's present session will
pass legislation to do away with pres
ent obstacles.

side. station OF the New York Edison
company. This single generator,
driven by a steam turbine engine, will
generate enough electricity to supply
the entire state of Delaware.
Single generators OF $4,000 horse
power have been built for large water

Everybody Wants to Know the Reason

r. ENATOR Reed Smoot, in conse-
y quence of his Mormon training,
uses no stimulants-no tobacco, alco-
hol, coffee or tea No one who has
never undertaken to go through life
without the use of coffee or tea has
any idea of the petty annoyances that
such abstinence entails. A man can
quit drinking malt, vinous or spurious
liquors and his friends merely re-
mark: "On the wagon, eh?" and let
it go at that. They don't ask why he
quit, and usually do not insist on him
drinking, regardless of what may be
the prevailing notion to the contrary.
Anybody knows that when man quits
drinking he does so because he does
not wish to take all the natural finish
off his insides and die ahead of sched-
ule. or have befuddled, maroon
brain, much as one can see on the
charts in any doctors office.
But with a man who does not drink
coffee or tea it Is different. EVERYBODY
desires to know why. Wherever Smoot
goes to dine people ask: DO you
End that coffee makes you nervous?

MORNING ROBES ARE DAINTY PRETTY GIFT FOR TRAVELLER
Elaborate characterization Allowed on
Costumes to Be Worn at
Breakfast.

Breakfast robes are being made in
most ornate style with fiouncings and
ruchings of lace. adorned with satin
rosebuds. The dresses are completed
by shoes to match and dainty little
caps of lace adorned with flowers.
A charming version of the break
fast toilet was to be seen recently in
one of the shops. The foundation of
the dress was white satin, yelled with
pink ninon and f1ounced with white
lace. A series of flowers caught up
the lace flouncings, and the cap which
went with it had a frill of lace franz
ing the face prettily, with clusters of
overs at the sides.
Some of the simple house frocks
are filed in at the throat with folds
of tulle in v shape. while others are
made with high transparent collars of
the tulle, edged along the top with a
narrow band of satin. Satin, after taf-
fetas, is the principal material for the
house frock this season and there are
charming little dresses in crepes of
silky weave, trimmed with lace and
satin folds.
In length the skirt of the house
frock touches the ground all the way
round and the sleeves are long to the
wrists.

Pincushions Of Novel Designs Make
Acceptable Tokens Between
Parting Friends.

Penny dolls made of china are the
foundation of cunning little pin cush-
ions, which look like ballet-dancers at
first sight, but on second glance 1t is
discovered that in lieu of fluffy skirts
they wear balls Of brightly colored
satin, silk, Pompadour ribbon or tinsel
cloth. To dress one Of these cushion
dolls, wind strip of inch-wide cotton
about the trunk, from the waist over
the left shoulder. back to the waist
again and over the right shoulder and
then tack 1t with stout thread. That
is the basis for the fluffs of cotton
scented with sachet powder-which
must be put on to form a symmetrical
ball that is covered with white, soft
linen and finally with the fancy silken
material. When finished, the dolls
hands, feet and head only are uncov-
cred and no matter how many long
pins are stuck into her, their points
are scarcely likely to reach her trunk.
Pin cushions of fancy ribbon, velvet
or silk of oblong shape have three
plain plump corners and one that is
trimmed with two square double
leaves of silk which fail over both its
sides and, when their baby ribbon
strings are united, reveal several in
side leaves of embroidered flannel for
holding needles of various sizes. At
the other end of the cushion and set
directly at the center of its shortest
edge, are ribbon loops by which the
cushion may be suspended. This is
the ideal steamer or travelling pin
cushion and makes a most acceptable
bon voyage gift.

just where 1t is needed The lamp is
fixed on an upright standard and has
hemispherical reflector which
throws the rays out horizontally. At
the top of this reflector is a shade,
which in turn defects the rays to the
book or piece of sewing or whatever
it is that the light is needed on. Thus
there is no waste light thrown in a
circle on the floor or in all corners OF
the room where 1t Is not needed, and
there is no glare or strain on the
eyes. AS will readily be understood.

NY ASHINGTON.---The big annual
w loss of trained men to the army
through desertion, is to be stopped in
q large measure If new plan, now
being tried out at the United States
Military Prison at Ft. Leavenworth,
succeeds. Heretofore man convicted
Of desertion has been sent to the pris-
on, serves out his time, and is then
turned loose, branded as convict and
deprived of all the rights Of citizen
ship. Under the new plan the prison
is to be made a reformatory where
men convicted of desertion are to be
placed until it is believed they have re-
formed, when they are to be released,
restored to duty with the colors- to
serve out their enlistment and, If they
SO desire, to be reenlisted and serve as
long as they like.

III FATHER Chief Willis L. Moore
w sent out an order to all the wealth
er stations over the country some time
ago, forbidding messengers and other
youngsters in the service to smoke
cigarettes. 1t had been noted that
boys who forgot TO leave weather
maps where they were directed to-.
were nearly all cigarette smokers;
hence the order.
The newspaper photographers and
testers heard about the anti-cigarette
order and promptly made merry over
it. Whenever a weather prediction
went wrong they suggested that Moore
ana his men smoke up-and so on.
From this advertising of the anti-cigar-
cite order, many got the impression
that Moore wouldn't stand for smok-

Lace-Edced poiIies.

In making set of round doilies for
Christmas gifts one woman made the
discovery that by stitching narrow
hens in the edges with rather long
machine stitch she could very easily
crochet linen thread lace on the edges,
catching loop of the linen thread in
each machine stitch.
A simple wreath of scattered daisies
and leaves was embroidered on each
linen circle, then a two-inch edge Of
lace, resembling torchon, was cro-
cheted about the edge Of each. The eff
feet is wonderfully good. The work is
easily done, making a charming set
for gifts.
