DICHCLOTH IS THE
HOME OF GERMS
Crash, Towsling Is Most Sanitary
Material for Cloths.

The disheloth distributes mora disease
germs than any other household article.
Although the washing Of dishes is the
most important part Of domestic routine.
Its method shows little Improvement since
Eve cleaned the platters OF the irst
meal outside of Eden. The one kitchen
operation upen whose thoroughness the
health OF the family may depend Is the
very one 10 which the least care and
thought is given.
Usually any handy piece Of cloth -
picked out-it may even be a bit Of
torn underwear. China, glass, silver and
iron pots all so into the same pan. and
the cloth Is more or less vigorously ap-
piled to each in turn. The water. at
first clean and sudsy. becomes dirty and
greasy. The dishcioth. which has become
dirtier and greasier, is twisted into a wet
cloth and left until the next meal Only
when It is worn out is 1t replaced by
another.
Now, disease germs are picked up
everywhere. They are in the dust OF the
streets. on the strap OF the car which
you grip on your way home. on the
handle Of your door. on your clothing.
The hand Is the great germ carrier.
The roads by which the germs find their
way to the discloth are many. The car
rying Of a fork back and forth from
an infected mouth to the food in a plate
will leave a number Of hourishing col
onies in the remains OF the meal Germs
from hands not sufficiently cleaned are
left on the handles OF knives, forks and
spoons or on the edges OF the plates.
The infected utensils 90 back TO the
kitchen and in the pan with the others.
n a servant has germs on her hands she
will certainly wipe them on on the dish
cloth.
Now II you take a dirty rag and rub
II over q piece Of board you will see that
no dirt has been left upon the really
smooth portions, but that a number of
little holes and scratches have become
dark. This is because the rag has left
behind in each of these irregularities
some Of its dirt. In the same way q dish
cloth, passing over the surface OF the
dishes. leaves in the little cracks and
faws bits Of grease, and II there are any
disease germs on IL II leaves them, too.
For the average person the best way
is to keep q supply Of dIshcloths made
from crash toweiing, which Is cheap and
does not offer the same possibilities to
germs as more loosely woven stuis.

/ hold II the duty OF one who is gifted
And specially lowered in all mems
sight,
To know no rest TIL his life Is lifted
Fully up 10 his great gifts height
He must mold the man into rare com
pleteness;
For gems are set only in gold refined;
He must fashion his thoughts into per-
feet sweetness.
And cast out folly and lust from his
mind
For he who drinks from a gods gold
chalice,
OF art. or music. or rhythmic song,
Must sift from his soul the chan Of
malice
And, weed from his nature the roots Of
wrong.
Great gifts should be worn like a crown
betting.
And not like gems on a begEar's hand,
And the toll must be constant and un-
remitting
Which lifts the king to the crowns

A cheap way to frame pictures is to
buy a roll OF passe partout. Cover pic
ture with glass the size OF picture, IN
sert small piece OF ribbon in back Of
cardboard, and paste the passe partoui
on four sides Of picture, making q neat
frame. I framed eight pictures. Il by
. inches, with one roll. the cost OF which
was 10 cents.

Two Little Hints.

As a general rule, you quite often
soil your door frame when shining the
front door bell. and in course of time
rub the paint of. which doesn't look nice
To prevent, this, take a piece of card
board larger than the bell and in II
cut the shape Of the bell. Place this
around the bell whenever you shine It
and your frame will never get soiled.
When you are dressing and in quite
a hurry, II you should find an eye loose
or out Of your dress or waist which
often happens. a good substitute for this
is to take a plain pin, stick in from the
left side Of the waist, then out to the
right and then to the left again. This
will answer as well as an eye

course, ID is. expensive, but then it don't

The new helter-skelter linens are very
NsveI, indeed. The weave is truly helter-
r rkelter in every sense OF the word. They
come in white and tan. cream and black
and brown and white.
The Medic collar Of pIeated net is very
effective when worn with any dress
Among the many pretty styles in taf-
feta blouses none is prettier than that
with straight patent leather belt and In
set folds OF white cotton ratine on each
side of the front. Collar and cufts are
also of the white rough material and
the blouse has q tailored smartness that
Is very likable.
New baskets for bonbons are in DUH
rose color. One is shown in the shape
Of a small grand piano. A paper box
for candles is in the same rose tint, dec
Grated with magnolia blossoms very Well
painted. Either basket or box hold about
three pounds Of candy.
The newest evening slippers have en-
broidered heels Small spangied orna-
ments in the place Of buckles, for these
slippers are in the shape Of a four
as the slipper. unless Of gold. Both these
ornamental additions tend TO make the
foot large and gaudy, however.
Many of the shops are showing stin
little neck bows Of variegated ribbon or
velvet ribbon These are worn either at
the front Of the collar or at the side
Their price is about 80 cents.
The new double-faced linens are very
stunning, indeed, and these make up into
most attractive tailored suits. Plain blue
linens have on the reverse side blue
and white fancy weave; violet, tan, and
green linens also come in this effect.
These linens, while expensive, require no
trimming, as the collar and Guns or the
coat suit can be made from the other
side
New linen crashes are very inexpensive
and quite wide. They make very good
looking separate coats, and are also
splendid for long coats suitable for tray-
cling.
Although richly coIored gowns are pop
uIar, large numbers of smart women are
adopting the black gown in serge or
siIk.
Strictly tailored street suits of bro
caded taffeta are shown among the new
est models
Hats with pancake crowns Spd double
brims and little or no trimming are fea-
tured. Wy.
Belts of patent leather. soft morocco,
and suede are all modish. They are
rather narrow.
An entirely new fabric is a fine. thin
white wool with a border Of khaki
colored ratine.
The long sprays of osprey, which form
the only ornament of the pearl and
gold caps for evening coifures, are worn
directly. in front instead Of at the side.
Perhaps the handsomest linens are the
new linen ratines-a heavy, loose weave
and very stylish for the new. coat
dresses and tailored suits. Cotton ra-
tine and macrame lace make chic trim
mlngs for these linens.
Very heavy linens come in natural
color with black stripes. Suits of these
promise to be very popular They also
make very good looking collar and cuff
sets for the various heavy linens in |

erage unusually low from lea Sept.
% to near Oct. 5.
Our forecast of unusually severe
storms in many places all around the
earth, Aug, &c to Aug. 81, was a
great success for these forecasts, but
the storm forces were so great that
they. threw our temperature lines off,
causing warm weather first week of
September, where we had predicted
cool weather. Our forecasts of these
great storms, that caused the loss of
$4,000 human lives, were based on the
relative positions Of the great planets
Jupiter and Saturn.
Next disturbance will reach the Pa
cific coast about Oct. 3, cross the Pa
cific slope by the close of Oct. 4, the
great central valleys Oct. 5 to Oct.
a., the eastern sections Oct. 8. Warm
wave will reach the Pacific slope
about Oct. 8, the great central val
leys Oct. 5, the eastern sections Oct,
Z. Cool wave will cross the Paci-
fc slope about Oct. 6, the great cen
trail valleys Oct. 8, the eastern sections
Oct. 10.
This disturbance will bring assmall
rise in temperatures but at no time will
high temperatures prevail. Not much
rain is expected with this disturbance,
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-09-21

Weather will be generally quiet, but
will become more disturbed about Oct.
s, as this disturbance enters the
eastern states and one preceding en-
ters the Pacific slope.
October will be an unusually cold
month and the cold weather will con
tinue till about Nov. 2, after which
date the average temperatures will go
very high, making December average
ais much above normal temperatures
as October will average below. From
Dec. 2 to Jan 2. the temperatures will
be lower than usual.
A notable event in astronomy, as
Economical m~eteorology and astro-
physics will occur during the week of
which Oct IL viii be central. During
that week a great group of sunspots
are expected to form on the extreme
eastern side of the sun-on the left
hand side as we look at the sun at
noon.
About that time great disturbances
are expected on many parts of the
| earth, including a hurricane in the
Caribbean sea, a severe cold wave in
our northwest and other w wealth
er features on this continent. Frosts
will go far south. We are not yet able
to give details of these great disturb

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Those who watch
ed closely yesterday credited the Ar
mour-Lichstern interest with selling
1,000,0 600 bushels September wheat and
buying as much December and May. 1t
is said that Lichstern recently changed
100000 bushels from September to
May at &c difference. The surprising
thing in the wheat market is the limit
ed pressure from sellers in the face of
continued big receipts. The way wheat
has disappeared indicates hat there
We're more holes to fill up at the be-
ginning of the crop movement than the
trade was aware of. Bears find it hard
to understand why prices do not de-
cline, since the export business has
faHen off and Russia has taken the
European market away from American
sellers.

is to be on the lookout for whatever
may come.
The past crop seaso was unusual.
The early rains thoroughly wet the
soil in most places and that moisture
remained in the soil throughout the
season. In one-third of the country
east of the Rockies the rainfall was
deficient 33 per cent. but throughout
the drouths the soil remained damp
and grain kept good color. 1t was a
clear case of deficiency of evaporation
that saved the crops. Evaporation is
usually small in Canada and large in
the states. We have not vet learned how
to forecast evaporation Of moisture
from the soil.
