A WOMAN is
ELECTED MAYOR
Susan Wlssler, Former SchO0lmarm, Ia
now Towns Chief Executive.

CHEYENNE, Wyoming-"Yours
truly, Susan Wissler, Mayor of Day
ton" Such is the busnesslike sigma
ture of the new Mayor of a little
COW town in Northern Wyoming
which, few weeks ago, chose a keen
eyed, pleasant-featured woman to pre-
side over its public affairs.
Though Wyoming is the first equal
suffrage State, no woman there has
ever before secured mayors Office.
Indeed, Mrs. Wissler is the second
woman in the United States to be
Mayor, Hunnewell, Kansas, having
chosen a woman for that post year
or two ago.
Mrs. Wissler is a widow, and has
lived in Wyoming twenty-five years.
She is in the dry goods business in
Dayton, and is we'll known TO the
people of Northern Wyoming. Mrs.
Wissler has a wide acquaintance in
her part of the State, and even the
cowboys and sheepherders know and
respect her. For fifteen years she
taught school in the lonely and iso-
lated schoolhouses on the sheep and
cattle range, and the children in the
country surrounding Dayton love and
admire Aunt Susan
Politically, Mrs. Wissler is Dem
ocrat, but partisan politics cut little
figure in her election, as she was
practically the choice Of all parties.
The saloon question is dominant in
Dayton. Like most towns Of its class,
Dayton is some lively" when a few
visiting cowboys or sheepherders
come in from the lonely plains and
decide to wake things up. The con-
troll OF such turbulent spirits has vex-
ed the better class OF citizens, and

Every room in your house should
be ventilated thoroughly, no matter

have vacated it. This is particu-
larly ture of your nurseries. Little
children become torpid after
three hours, in a shut-up nursery.
Play loses it's interest and they
are inclined to wander about
aimlessly. Always keep in mind
the fact that fresh, pure air heats
more quickly than stale air. And
do not hesitate to open your win
dows in winter If your house is
well-heated.
Children do not take cold so
much from draughts as they do
from stale air. Colds result from

erwise if he will just consider that IT,

We do not believe in keeping al,

ed in other walks Of life, but the BIO,
should be taught to like farm work

farm at least until that time come,
when he is competent TO map OUT
his future life.
There are boys raised on the farm
who make a particular success in
some trade or profession. They
seem to be fitted for some other line
Of work.
For the man who must be content
with only average success along these
lines there are better opportunities

foods, are responsible for the
conditions.
1t is often difficult to know just
how to ventilate a room continu-
ously, or with a patient in bed,
without the danger of draughts,
and here is a suggestion for you.
An adjoining room that has been
thoroughly aired, and the door
closed into a hall, will furnish a
good deal of fresh air which will
circulate into the room needing
it. II the wind is not too high to
permit il, the window in the adj
joining rooms can be left open a
trifle-three Understand heavy
screen, fitting close down to the
floor, can be placed across the
open connecting door, leaving the
upper part free for the air to
circulate into the room.
II il is desired to ventilate
directly into the room occupied,
the upper sash of the window can
be lowered about three inches
or the lower sash instead OF the
upper-and a narrow, thin board
the length Of the window and the
depth of the opening can be
placed under the sash and sup
ported by it. and this will leave
an opening between the the two
sashes for the free circulation of
the fresh air without fear If
draughts. Bear in mind the fact
that the board should always be
inserted in the opening made by
the sash-if the upper sash is
drawn down then between that
and the window frame above.
II you have patient in bed,
any of these same methods can
be used and extra precaution be
taken by adding more covering
while ventilation is taking place,
or, barring all foolish superstition
raising an umbrella over her, plac-
ing it on the bed between her and
the window which is open.
Let me add, finally, that fear Of
draughts is an indication that
your system is depleted, that you
are run down or working beyond
the good-sense point.

Fashion Talks
For Summer Comfort.

Breakfast jackets combined with
simple skirts make really ideal sum
mer morning gowns. They are sim
pie, easily made and easily Numbered.
They can be adjusted quickly and
readily and, withal, they are dainty
and attractive in effect. This jacket
includes a new and exceedingly smart
collar and is made with a separate
peplum that means perfect smooth
ness over the hips. The skirt is five
gored and gathered at the upper edge,
but it includes a wide tuck that sug-
gests tunic. In this case, the ma
terial is simple batiste woven with
border in two widths, and the border
makes the trimming, but any pretty
summer material can be used with en-
broidery, simple lace or contrasting
material as finish. Many women
like all white for summer morning
gowns. White lawn with eyelet EN-
broidered banding would be very pref
ty. Figured dimity, with bands Of
color matching the figures, would
make pretty combination, or the col
lar could be of contrasting material
These sleeves are made to the elbows
and left loose, but they could be cut
in three-quarter length and finished
with bands.
For the medium size, the jacket will
require az yards 81, 21s yards SO or
2yards A inches wide, with ga yards
of banding; the skirt, 5H yards 81,
AZ yards SO or A inches wide OF mate
rial without up and down, or IA yards
~ inches wide of material with figure
or nap; the trimming, yards of band
ing.
The May Manton pattern Of the
jacket 1856 is cut in sizes from "a to
~ inches bust measure; of the skirt

Bathing the Blood.

A great many of the illnesses
we have are due to the absence
of pure air in the body and a
great many of these illnesses are
actually durable by the presence
of this same sweet air. Deep
breathing is one of the cures that
has now come to be a recognized
factor in rehabilitation of a de-
pleted system.
Headaches, resulting from ex-
haustion, are easily cured by
deep breathing. Place one finger
on the left nostril and inhale
deeply through the other. Then,
remove the finger from the left
to the right nostril and exhale
through the left. Do this five
times, steadily, and evenly. Then,
presto! Where is your headache?
Gone! And such a sense of re-
freshment and clarity through
your head!
That simple method is called
the cleansing BREATH" and is
we'll named. The right nostril
brings in the airbroom, which
sweeps through the head and
cleans it and the left nostril
carries away, on the exhaled
breath, the "acheness," the
fatigue, and the general cobwebby
feeling that, has been over your
brain all day.
Deep breathing, after you leave
a stuffy office or room and come
out into clean fresh air, will lit
orally snake you over" and is
ell worth remembering also when
you are "done to a FRAGILE and
ready to DROP" after days
shopping in badly ventilated
stores.
The blood, like the body, has to
be kept in a clean condition in
order to function property; the
bath for the blood is the air-bath,
and it is "tubbed" in the lungs.
II we look at it rightly, our body,
brains, intestines, etc. are really
our servants with specified work
assigned to them, and neither you
nor I would think very highly OF
that housekeeper who kept her
servants working up to the break
ing point without proper nourish-
ment to sustain them But this is
what is done by our bodies every
day and hour of our lives.
Most mothers who are ailipg are
i'll from sheer starvation in some
one form or another. Either il il

little rest, or too little fresh air

FLOWER STORY
PLACE CARDS

A charming set Of place cards for
woman's luncheon in summertime
was home designed IL was the at
tractive idea Of the hostess TO have
each card indicative Of different
kind of flower and to have this bios
som delicately suggestive of the guest.
occupying the particular cover where
the card was placed.
For instance, the undisputed beauty
OF snowy types could have the red
rose card. The woman small and ex-
quisite both of physique and tempera-
ment would be given the lily of the
valley. A lovely blond, graceful and
natural, might be characterized by a
yellow "daffydowntilly" and daugh-
ter of the gods divinely tall and fair
by Gala lily.
There were twelve guests and con-
sequently twelve cards The latter
had for foundation little folders about
the size of holiday card made from
art paper. On the front of each folder
was water color sketch of the chos-
en- flower, and across the top the name
of the guest in gold or silver paint
Inside the folder was written brief
history of the flower, giving the de-
rivation of the name where known,
and other such information. These
short accounts were read aloud be-
tween courses and afforded an inter
esting topic of conversation appropri-
ate to the season.
Two floral biographies are given
here as illustrations.
The Daffodil.
When the daffodils begin to peer,
With heigh! the doxy over the dale,
Why then comes in the sweet O. the
year"
The word daffodil is derived from
the name of another flower TO which
it is no relation whatever-the aspho-
del. Apparently the Anglo-Saxons
called the yellow beauties (Which
grow wild in England) asphodels, and
from this confusion come both the
modern name and the pretty diminu-
tive, daffydowndilly.
The Rose.
High in Paradise,
By the four rivers, the first roses
blew"
Although for centuries past cult
waited in all habitable portions OF the
globe, the rose is generally regarded
as the glorious daughter of the sun
| of Eastern climes All roses were
white, says the legend, until Cupid
one day, dancing among them, upset
glass of wine, which dyed all upon
which it fell resulting in red roses
forever after.
For the hostess who does not draw
or paint, and who would find it toe
great tax upon her privy purse &c
order the folders made TO order, an
other pretty plan is available. In
stead of painting the flower, carefully
make two Sits in the outer cover oil
the folder and through these draw
the stem of posy, the subject of the
sketch written inside, of course. All
the flowers may be natural or all may
be of paper, but no combination OF the
natural and artificial would be attrac-
tive.

Many a farmer who is worrying
about the question of how TO keep
his boys on the farm might solve it
by getting them really interested in
the dairy business. There is no other
branch of farming which offers more
remuneratve employment and a
more interesting experience.
In the first place, the good dairy
COW is an interesting piece OF ma
chinery She is a subject Of study
She is intelligent and meets intelli-
gent care and attention with intelli-
gent performance She is a thing of
beauty and prolific producer of
profit.
Boys generally leave the farm be-
cause they find life there uninterest-
ing and full of drudgery, They find
it full of drudgery because it is UNI
interesting.
1t is good plan to make the boy
a partner and il is not a good plan
TO wait until the boy is nearly of age
before making him pa.tner You
can't start too soon. After making
him a partner, he should be treated
just as you would treat a good part
ner who is not member of the
family.
Some farmers are so magnanimous
that they give their boys a calf or a
hog and then when the animal goes
to market they take the money and
buy the boy suit of clothes that
would have to be provided anyway
The boy is not real partner in an
arrangement of this kind 1t doesn't
teach the boy to think and he is dis
couraged over the partnership ar
rangement OF course he can not
help himself until he gets old enough
to strike ont for himself
A definite arrangement should be
entered into when you undertake 10
make a partner of your boy and you
should be the last one to violate such
an arrangement. Do not try to drive
too good a bargain either and don't
be too liberal with the boy. Let him
