Furs, Stains, Etc.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doon

er it would be improper for q slri
stenographer to send her 'employel

santhemums at Christmas? I write
for one who leaves town IN d aay u

the Star as soon as possible
Also let me know which you thlnk

of very fine quality?
Please let me know how to take a

form, but don't know how to use
them. 5 Yours very truly,
STAR READER.
ID II. the employers wife has
shown the s-tenographer any little
courtesies during the year | think
the former will understand the spirit
which prompts the Christmas remem-
brance. Either flowers or some dainty
handmade gift will be very accepta.

the wife alone.
(2) White furs are beautiful for
evening and dress occasions, but the
red fox can be worn more frequently
and has the great advantage that it
doesn't soil quickly. To my mind
nothing takes away so much from
the appearance of a well-dressed
woman as furs that arc even slightly
soiled. In choosing red fox be sure
that the color is becoming to your
particular style. Personally | think
black furs stand at the top of h
list for richness and 'becomingness."
One often tires of colored furs and
finds that they do not go well with
different suits, while black furs have
neither of these objections. However,
1t is all a matter of personal taste.
go C%hloroform will probably re-
move the stain. Put a layer of white
cheesecloth or a white blotter under
the stain, dip a cloth in chloroform,
and beginning at the edge rub gently
toward the centre. If the stain is the
result of the action of acids on the
color it can often be remedied by
touching it with weak ammonia
water.

To Overcome Winter

LAYER of ordinary mercoiiZed wax over

plexion treatment for the wlnter girl. The
wax gently absorbs the dead particles OF

Boil the macaroni (boiling water)

bake until brown.
Bake while the potatoes are cook

Don't forget to leave the door open

there be ever such a slight leakage in

CONGRESSMAN KENNEDY.

1t ought to be. and The Gate City
believes 1t will be, a pleasure for the
voters OF the First congressional dis
trict to again give their support to so
good and faithful public servant as
G. A. Kennedy who for several terms
has served as Congressman. There
are occasions where the voters of
district have been unfortunate in the
selection of their congressional rep
resentative but such is not the case
with Mr.. Kennedy. He is one of the
most attentive and effective officials
in the lower house He is always ION
the job" SO. to speak, and he has
watched the interests of his consti-
tuents carefully and brought credit to
himself and to the people OF Iowa.
Hundreds of Keokuk people and 9TH
ers from over the district have visit
ed In Washington since Mr.. Kennedy
was elected and they all return home
with the most favorable reports about
their representative. They say he is.
not only hard worker but an eff
fectiye one and that he Is one of the
best informed and most influential
members. He Is known to all Of his
colleagues and they speak of him in
the highest terms 1t is a pleasure to
have such good reports come back to
his district about him and
such service as he has been giving
to his district has been approved in
other campaigns. 1t should be this
time. Keokuk is especially under
obligations to Congressman Kennedy
for his efficient work along lines that
have been vital to the welfare of
this city and his majority this year
should be larger than ever before.

DISARMAME NT.

Put up the sword The voice o
Christ once more
Speaks in the pauses OF the cannon:
roar,
Ger fields of corn by fiery sickles
reaped
and left dry ashes; over trenches
heaped
With nameless dead; Ger cities starv-
ing slow
Under rain of fire: through wards OF
Down which a groaning diapson runs
From tortured brothers, husbands, Iov-
ers, sons
OF desolate women in their far-off
homes,
Waiting to hear the step that never
comes.
Q men and brothers, let that voice be
heard,
War falls. try peace; put up the use
less sword.
Fear not the end There is a story
told
In Eastern tents, when autumn nights
grow cold,
And round the fire the Mongol shep-
herds sit
With grave responses listening unto
it;
Once, on the errands of his mercy
bent,
Buddha, the holy and benevolent,
Met fell monster, huge and fierce of
look,
Whose awful voice the hills and .cI-
ests shook.
20 son of peace.1 the giant cried, thy
fate
If sealed at last, and love shall yield
to hate
The unarmed Buddha looking. with no
trace
OF fear or anger, in the monsters
In pity said: Poor field. even thee
love-
Lo! as he spake the sky-tail terror
To handbreadth size; the huge OBJ
horrence shrank
Into the form and fashion of a dove.
And where the thunder OF its rage was
heard.

bird:
Hate hath no harm for love- so ran

And peace upweaponed conauers

What Are We Going to dot

To the Editor of The Gate City:
notice that policeman guilty of
the petty vice of getting drunk has
been forced to resign by the high
moral toned chief OF the force. NY,
that ia an awful sin as compared with
the actual crime laid at the door Of
one higher up and so far as the public
have been advised never investigated.
Not long ago the commissioner in
charge of the police admitted that he
was collecting for the use of an cleo
trio piano In the leading gambling
house OF the city. Presumably he went
in blindfolded as he certainly saw
nothing. unlawful or in his official
capacity he would have moved.
The facts are really worse than DR..

Keok1k is in the most deplorable con-
dition. Men living on the lower end

Sunday last it was remarked by
men visiting the leyee that they had
not for years seen as many drunken
men as were on the street.
Ostensibly we have mayor elected
as a reform candidate and as a pro
test to former conditions but he is
running for another Office now and is
comforting himself with the
idea that he is making votes, in
which conclusion he may be mistaken.
commissioner must be look
ing for profits on electric pianos.
while the third one not concerned
about his future is busy digging UP all
the streets in Keokuk. Truly we seem
to have fallen into the hands of the
Philistines. What are we going to do?
Shall we let this go on or take steps
to stop the riot of vice in every line
that is SO patent to every man who
walks the streets at any time of the
day.
