Contagion Avoided
by Tyree's Powder

For the treatment of all catarrhal
and infected conditions of the mucous
membrane, there is nothing so effec-
tive as Tyree's Antiseptic Powder.
Not only is it positive in its action,
but it is absolutely safe in the hands
of anyone. Contains no poisons, thus
making it the ideal sterilizing agent.
Being a powerful germicide and an
tiseptic, Tyree's Powder is for gen.
eral use. Especially efficacious for
prickly heat, poison oak, hives, insect
bites, sun-burn, offensive perspiration,
tender feet itching. Unsurpassed when
used as douche. A twenty -five-cent
box will make two gallons standard
antiseptic solution. Strongly recon.
mended by physicians. Sold by drug
gists everywhere. Send for booklet

Alexandrias public schools will re-
open this year a week earlier than
usual, September being chosen as the
date at a meeting of, the city school
board, held last evening. This an
nouncement Will bring gloom to the
small boy, who expected a slightly
longer vacation. The books for the
registration of pupils will be opened
and the permits issued one week earlier,
commencing September Q. 1t is ex-
pected that the headquarters will be in
the Armory Hall, on South Royal street,
as usual.
1t was also stated by members of the
board that they had abandoned the Idea
Of procuring buildings where the over
flow from tho primary grades could be
accommodated. Two locations were un-
der consideration. but 1t was found
that the expense of refurnishing these
rooms would be too great. Instead,
halliday sessions will be held for the
first and second grades, doing away
with the necessity for new quarters.
No mention was made Of the resolu-
ton which was introduced in the city
council by c. b. Marshall in reference
to the boards reduction Of Colonel
Ffcklin's salary. The resolution hav-
ing met with defeat, the incident Is con-
sidered closed.
It was expected that Judge r. H. L.
Chichester, Of Frederick, Va, who heard
the arguments on the quo warranto
proceedings brought by Robert 8. Bar
rett against City Councilman Urban 8.
Lambert, would arrive in this city to-
day and announce his decision in the
case, but nothing was heard from him
up till noon today. At the hearing last
week, the Judge took the case under
advisement, and announced, informally
that he would probably return to Alex.
andria today.

Production of Poison Here
+ More Than Double
That of 1911.

More than 100000 pounds of arsenic,
Enough to kill of the population of the
nation, was imported into the United
States last year. The production Of
white arsenic in the United States in
t91 was 3,132 tons, more than double
the amount of the preceding year. The
arsenic was obtained as by-product OF
smelling operations, and the output is
by far the largest ever recorded In the
United States.
White arsenic, metallic arsenic, ar
benic sulphides. Paris green, and Lon
don purple were imported by the ton.
Uses for Poison.
The principal uses of arsenic are in
glass making, in pigments, and in in
secticides. The use of paris green

pensions authorized by law recently.
In no instance does It provide for esti-

" HERE is no doubt now that hats
(or rather bonnets) made of lace
will be a leading feature in head
wear for children during the COM
Ing spring. Already, those who create
the styles for the public's acceptance,
or rejection, have made many beau
tifui bonnets and bonnet-like hats, with
such good success. that they will be
sure to sell. They appeal to the moth
ers from the standpoint of beauty and
utility, and more than all, from that of
economy. The majority are made of
narrow val lace and those of other
laces as rule will show good wearing
qualities.
These pretty head coverings are
made in nearly every case on a wire
frame which is faced with shirred silk
or chiffon. But sometimes the brim
facing is also OF lace. Ribbons in silk
or velvet are used with them Many
small flowers, too, add to their beauty.
They are set in prim and quaint fash

little bouquets on the brim. Forget-me-

For the Wee Ono.

During the winter months warm
wrapper to slip over the baby when he
is being taken from one room to an
other is a necessity. A very pretty
one may be made of nuns yelling in
pink or blue, with an underlinfng of
thin wadding and batiste. The dainty
little garment might be embroidered
or scalloped round the edge and would
prove a pretty present for baby and
also a most useful one.
The wrapper should be large enough
to slip on easily, for nothing jars
child's nerves more than to be forced
irto coat that is too small, and If the
wrap takes the form Of cape 1t is
equally necessary that 1t be large
enough to envelop the little form when,
as in this case, warmth is the object
to be secured.

main the favored posies for little
folks. Small field flowers look well
with the heavier laces.
There is really a great amount of
work on children's millinery. but 1t is
not of the most difficult character. The
pretty hats of lace shown here are not
beyond the skill of the mother who
makes her children's dresses. The
wire frame must be bought from the
millinery shop or the department store
and covered with null of silk before
the lace and facing are put on. Usu-
ally the finished hat looks considerably
larger than the frame.
Val and cluny laces are the favor
ties. Quite number of novelty laces
have been brought out, but are not
more attractive than those we have
had heretofore.
White and pale colors make up near
ly all the bonnets SO that choice of
colors is easy enough. Very thin silks,
chiffons and laces. are used for fac
ings. Wide, soft ribbons or narrow
velvet ribbons are chosen, with small
flowers for trimming.

UTILIZING THE soILED SHOE
Days Of Usefulness May Be Extended
II Article 10 Not Too

Here are a couple of hints for the
girl whose dress allowance has to go
long way:
White kid shoes which are too soil
ed to wear and which are still Of q
good shape may be renewed for even
ing wear by painting them with gold
paint. Do this carefully and smoothly
and the shoes will look like new.
In some cases even soiled satin
slippers may be successfully treated
in this way.
White kid shoes may also be dyed
fast black by applying the follow
ing mixture to them: Five cents
worth of gallic acid and Eve cents
worth Of sulphate of iron.
Put the sulphate of iron in Just as
much water as is required to dissolve
1t, no more, and apply this to the
shoes. Let 1t dry. then dissolve the
gallic acid in very little water and
apply this. When dry the shoes should
be a good black color. Great care
must be taken In using these chem
icals. and after they have been used
the surplus quantity should be thrown
away.

The farmers of Denmark secure the
best prices for their fancy bacon for
the reason that they have established
small packing establishments where
they can haul their hogs and get their
pay for the hogs according to their
actual worth. How different from the
system, or lack OF system, In this
country, where We are compelled to
take Just what the packing house oper-
ators are mind to pay us for our
hogs. VIII the time ever come when
our farmers can see the great benefits
to be derived from cooperation?
Roughage is one of the most impor-
tant factors in wintering the brood
sows, and If they do not get enough
coarse food they will not do well. Corn
and milk are well balanced as a diet,
but there should be something added
to distend the organs or digestion.
Then again, brood sows will keep
more quiet and contented II they are
given alfalfa, clover or some kind of
roughage to work over during the day
Good corn stover is better than moth

very helpful. About all we can do Is
to feed ration that can be easily d.
gested and keep them In clean quar-
ters. thoroughly disinfect the pens and
let the disease run its course.
Whole milk is one OF the best feeds
for hogs that are suffering with dis
ease of any kind. It is an excellent
feed and has often been OF great as
sistance in bringing hogs through
spells Of sickness.
There is no disputing the fact that
corn is an ideal hog feed, but every
practical feeder admits that better re-
suits can be brought about by feeding
ration that is composed of less than
two-thirds corn. 1t is mistake to
think we cannot afford to buy other
feeds to mix with the corn
Ordinarily 1t is a mistake not to
feed the hogs the liquid before the
solid food.
See that the hogs have comfortable
quarters-now and the months to
come. Failure here will impair the
usefulness OF the herd.
Hogs will make from 10 to 10
pounds Of meat, live weight, for each
bushel of corn eaten. but because OF
this too many farmers feed too much
corn.
The cream separator has greatly re-
duced scours in pigs because the skim
milk can always be fed while sweet.
When the SOW Of good type has
proven herself prolific breeder. an
economical feeder. and good mother.
1t Is a good plan to keep her several
years.
The mature SOW requires only food
for maintenance while the growing one
needs food for growth. Furthermore.
the older one will have an appetite for
waste that young one would not care
for.
Exercise will help make that streak
of lean and streak of fat that is de
sired.

the middle of June will make better

the year.
Do not be afraid to give shoats plen-
ty of range during the winter, provid-
ing. of course. that you have good, dry
sleeping places and warm houses to
sh,-l.er them during the extremely cold
weather.
On each and every farm there should
be some provision made for dipping
hogs. This not only proves to be an
easy and effectual way of disinfecting
animals which are brought on the
farm, but 1t also keeps them free from
lice.
Possibly there is no other farm anil
NAL that can offer as poor an excuse
for his existence as the scrub hog. He
is an Improbable animal any way you
take him.
As an economical pork producer he
is failure. Even his ability to shift
for himself does not recommend him
to the people within the limit Of his
range as he has the reputation of prey
ing upon neighboring corn fields when
food is scarce.
His build naturally adapts him to
his manner of living since he is long
legged. narrow in the chest, has a
long, narrow snout. This adapts him
to his manner of living. With the
scrub hog 1t is root hog or de-" hence
the long snout. His narrow body aids
him in getting through small fence
cracks and II he fails to find place
large enough to go through the fence
he can soon dig under 1t with his long
snout.
There is no standard of excellence
for the scrub hog since he may pos
sess almost any form except a beauti-
full one; he may be Of any color.
He has the reputation of being able
to stand all kinds of rough treatment
and still survive.
He is regarded as being able to re-
sist disease better than the improved
breeds of hogs. We very much
doubt whether this quality attributed
to the scrub hog is true since we have
noticed that hog cholera takes the
scrubs as well as the well-bred hog.
One thing is sure. that the scrub hog
can consume more valuable feed and
give less in return than any other
animal that we know Of.
A farmer who owns herd of scrub
hogs seldom needs any other corn crib
than his hogs.
He never gets rich selling pork, and
in fact If he depended upon his hogs

farmers are more than ever In need
of machine which will husk the corn
from the standing stalks-a machine
which will do the work Of several men.
Heretofore, about an acre was con-
sidered an average days work for one
man A corn picker. however, will
husk several times this number Of
acres A corn picker will, however,
not only do the work Of several men,
but 1t will deliver the ear corn to the
wagon In much better condition than
is done ordinarily when husking by
hand.
The corn picker is not the inspira-
ton Of a minute. 1t is the work of
years. While necessity was the mother
OF Its invention, yet 1t was hard work
that overcame the difficulties that con-
fronted the designers Of this machine.
One by one these difficulties have been
overcome. and the machine is now
perfected so that 1t does a very high
class Of work
