Corn Club Exhibit at State Fair.

Professor G.. A. Cobb, who il

n Mississippi. is determine
that the exhibit at the State Fail
This year will receive the attention
It deserves. Professor Cobb /!
n the city at this time for thu
purpose of arranging for .ad'
litional space over that of las
vear, and stated in conversation
&oday that he has definitely de.
eided to take personal charge Of
he Boys Corn Club exhibit al
he Fair himself.
Much more space than former
" occupied by this department
has been conceded by Secretary
Mcdonald of the Fair Associa-
ion, and it is admitted that the
tate will derive more fame from
his feature at the fair than per
laps any other classification.
The corn club idea has done
more within the last few years to
Sdvertise and to bring new, in
a~ustrious farmers to the state
han all other crops combined.
Mississippi had never been adj
gertised as a corn state until the
poys got busy under the direction
IF Prof. w. H. Smith and began
10 show what could really be
Zone on Mississippi farms.
The result was that records
we're broken that were convinc-
ng only in the proof of the pud-
ling" When Oscar Bass, of
Marion county, produced 23O
bushels of corn to the acre, and
he fact was published the world
yer, the work had just begun.
Willard Bennett. of the same
county, made ITO bushels. Hamp
pittman 143; Ray Barnes 1873;
Clifton Cooper 143; and a num-
Der of others came near the mark
d the same contest.
! This awoke interest the state
,ver. and the other counties be-
ran to get jealous with the result
hat corn began to grow like
magic in every section OF the
tate under the labor of Missis-
sippi youth.
Professor Cobb, who is now
baying strict attention to this
particular endeavor, predicts that
The increase in average weld per
acre will be greater from now on
shan any comparative figures of
The past will show, although it is
known that in three years the
has almost doubled.
Those who visit the State Fair
In October will have the pleasure
Of meeting the man who is at
This time the center of attraction
among farmers, both young and
bid, of Mississippi.
One thing that Professor Cobb
seems to be greatly encouraged
by is the fact that the younger
farmers are taking readily to the
corn raising idea. They are
going at it with enthusiasm, and
are getting everything from
the soil in the way of yield that
is due them. 1t is his purpose to
use the exhibit at the fair this
year as a means of spreading the
''corn raising fever" into every
extremity of the state, and
where it will remain permanent
ly.

Public Baths.

to be the question that is attract
ing widespread attention all over
the country. There are those
who advocate the daily bath. and
there are others who are opposed
to any sort of bathing. Perhaps
somewhere between these ex-
trenes the proper medium will
be found. When in the height
of her glory Rome had public
baths capable Of accommodating
80, 900 people at one time, but
whether the baths or an aband-
onment of them caused the down.
fall of the Eternal City is not
known. 1t is not likely that
there was much bathing during
the Middle Ages. from the fifth
to the fifteenth century. From
the fifth to- the tenth century
was the period known as the
Dark Ages, when the rude bar
barians from the black forests
and elsewhere overran the coun-
try, destroying civilization and
the public bathing habit. After
the renaissance, or the rebirth of
the world, the bath again ap-
peared, but it has never reached
the popularity which it once en-
joyed. A good many European
cities and New York, Chicago
and a few other American cities
have public baths, but there
seems TO be a strange hardness
in this excellent hygienic ex-
pedient all over the country.
Every city and town ought to
have facilities;for public bathing,
and in the cities bathing should
be made compulsory. There are
thousands of men in every city
who never 5ubmerge themselves
in water or bring their bodies in
contact with soap. When these
congregate in any given place the
man in the moon has to hold his
nose when passing over them.
The private bath is a modern
luxury. 1t is only yesterday
since it became a thing of uni
versal use. In this country we
have had the washtub from the
laundry bench down under the
tree. on Saturday night, and the
youth of the land had the lake or
river or old swimming hole for
their additions; but the bathtub,
as we now know it, was un-
known. The proudest Southern
mansions were without it, usual
ly, which is not so strange when
we reflect that water had to be
carried in buckets to fill it, and
how much easier it was to go to
the water. But it is surprising
to know that twenty-five years
ago the palatial brownstone
fronts occupied by the wealthy
in New York had no bathtubs or
provision for bathing. To this
day some of these buildings are
still unprovided with bathing ia
cilities.
Paris, that is supposed to be
the most up-to-date city in the
world, has known the bathtub
but a short time, and does not
know it to any alarming extent
at the present time. Up to fiji
teen years ago the custom in the
gay city was for four stout men
to carry a tub of water on their
shoulders to a house, and permit
all of the family to battle, and
from this performance there
grew a curious law suit. A maid
unceremoniously quit her position
and was hailed into court and sued
for breach of contract. Her plea
was that conditions where she
worked were intolerable; that
while she was willing that the
father, mother and all the child
rem should battle in the water
first, she objected to having the
dog bathed, before her turn came,
and her plea was sustained.

THE BEST WAY

To cure feet blistered from long walk
ing rub them with spirits mixed with
tallow on going to bed.
A delightful deodofizing disinfectant
for a sick room is made by putting
ground coffee in n saucer with a small
piece of gum camphor In the middle.
Light the camphor with a match and as
it burns the coffee will be consumed,
at the same time throwing off an agree
BILE odor.
An old embroidery hoop with a square
of cheese cloth makes n very handy and
sanitary strainer. The cheese cloth can
be washed Immediately after use and re-
placed in the hoop so that 1t forms a bag
without trouble.
Old silk gloves kept on hand are ex-
ceedingly useful when mending silk
stockings. A square cut from the wrist
and neatly sewn In the heel saves that
portion which is usually first to wear
out.
A clean, damp sponge is quite useful to
have near the ironing board on ironing
day. Nothing Is better for moistening
thin articles.
To preserve their flavor and keep your
hands from being stained. boil parsnips,
oyster plant and like vegetables with
their skins on.

Banana Filling for Silver Cakes
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the cake
and slice on the bananas, cutting each
slice as thin as possible; cover the fruit
with a little whipped sweetened cream,
put on the next layer of cake and add
more fruit, sugar and cream in the same
way. Do not put this mixture on top
Of the cake, as the air will dlscolor it.
Bananas are most appetizing when
combined with Strawberries and cream.
If the berries are large cut them In half,
using a silver knife. Place first a layer of
berries and between and over them la
slices of the bananas. When ready to
serve cover with sugar and cream or heap
sweetened whipped cream on the top.
In hot climates natives live mostly on
bananas, and such nations are said, by
travellers, to be cursed because the ease
with which the inhabitants procure their
living makes them too lazy for any exer-
ton.

For Perspiring Feet
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you please publish in your paper a
remedy for perspiration of the feet? l
battle my feet frequently, but still they
seem to perspire. I will be very thankful
to you If you can help me. Thanking you
In advance, ! am
A CONSTANT READER OF THE
STAR.
This is a very troublesome condition,
but one from which nan people suffer.
Battle the feet twice n day in lukewarm
water and salt In the proportion of a
double handful of sea salt to a half foot
tub of water. After the bath dry the
feet thoroughly with a rough towel, using
plenty of friction. Just before retiring
rub them with alcohol or witch hazel.
Change the hose daily and have two
pairs of shoes, so that you may wear
them on alternate days, thus giving each
pair two nights and a day Of air to one
day of wear. And be sure when the shoes
are airing they may do so to the best
advantage; that is, never shut them up
in a closet or a shoe box, but leave them
near an open window.
Dust the feet and the hose every day
with boracic acid or with this prepara-
ion: Five grams burnt alum, two and
one-half grams salicylic acid, fifteen
grams starch, fifty grams violet powder.

A DAINTY LITTLE FROcK
BY MAY MANTON

This hchu froek is one of the newest
and prettiest. 1t has just the touch of
ouaintness that is a feature of the sea
sons styles and it is essentially childish
In effect. There are almot numberless
pretty materials adapted to its making,
but, In this case, Powered lawn is
trimmed with frills of the same, but in
cludes sleeves of tucked white muslin.
There is just a simple, slightly full blouse
which is Joined to a straight skirt, and
this skirt can be made plain or trimmed.
The waist line Is lifted u little above
the normal and this adds to the quaint
effect. For summer afternoons and oc-
casions of the kind nothing p~rettier could
be suggested. If for any reason the round
neck and short sleeves are not liked, 1t
can be made as shown in the back view;
or IL a very plain frock is wanted, the
fchu can be omitted altogether, but most
girls would like the dress made just after
this manner. 1t is adapted to wolfe as
we'll as to dimity and batiste; 1t would
be pretty of embroidered Swiss muslin;
and for cool days challis with trimming
Of lace frills would be charming. Girls
are wearing simple little silks, too, and
the design is we'll adapted to these. A
foulard In Dolly Warden design on white
ground would be very quaint n charm
ing.
For the 12-year size the dress will re-
quire 4A yards of material q inches wide,
4 yards Sc or 49, yards Al, with Ia yards
27. / yard SO or q yard "A for the little
frills.
The May Manton pattern 7455 Is cut In
sizes for girls 10. II and IA years of age.
1t will be mailed to any address by the
fashion department of this paper on re-
ceipt of ten cents.
