To the Members of Seward Pomona
Grange No. IS of Baraga County:
Your committee appointed at the
Pomona meeting at Covington, for the
investigation of the records, accounts
and work of the county road commits
sioners of Baraga county, respectfully
begs to submit the following report
The resolutions passed by the Sew
ard Pomona at Covington requesting
the board of supervisors to investigate
the road commissioners record was
submitted tc that body by your secre-
tary, and read by the board at their
meeting on February Is, 1912, but vas
laid aside without action. At an ad-
journed meeting of the board of super
visors on Feb. %, 1912 your committee
was present and urged the board to act
on the resolution. Whereupon a mo-
tion was made to table the resolution,
which was carried by the followidg
vote, Yeas, Supervisors Been, Erick-
son, Schwalm and McKercher. Nays,
supervisor Maxey.
Your committee has, therefore, TAX
en- up the investigation and examined
the records and accounts of the county
road commissioners.
Your committee has found evidence
that tends to show that the complaints
made by various taxpayers against the
county road commissioners are well
grounded, considering the mileage and
condition of the county roads and the
large amount of money expended by
the commissioners.

penditures on the county road by years:

three dollars per day, approximately.
the sum of $3867. 90 not including board
meetings, inspecting roads, mileage
and rigs. And for Simon Denomie and
and Mission Store team at FIVE dollars
per day, approximately, the sum Of
$4729. 06. Commissioner James Nc
Kercher has drawn for similar personal
services or work, approximately, the
sum Of $3422.67. Commissioner Dan
Mcmillan, same, approximately $125s.6 GA
not including board meetings, inspect
ing roads, mileage or livery rigs. Com
missioner John Lyons. same, approxi-
mately $4,000 which includes some
team work.
Further, the commissioners have
shown too great consideration for
their private interests as evident from
the disproportionate sums of money
drawn by them for work on the several
road jobs. In many instances the sum
being larger than that received by any
or all the laborers during that period.
In support of this we submit, herewith,
several items from the county road
commissioners record. as follows
from record of meeting of May 9, 10.

MiIady's Mirror.

Every girl who stays at the seashore

in the country. knows that the good times
have to be paid for in bountiful cror
Of freckles, tan and sunburn. But the
game is usually worth the candle. and
a few applications of cream, or, better
still. doses of old-fashioned complexion
remedies. soon put an end to beauty
plight.
Cucumber juice is the easiest thing In
the world to make, for all you have to dc
is to crush the sliced vegetable into a
pulp and strain the juice through thin
muslin. One ounce of alcohol to eight
ounces of the juice adds to the long life
of this complexion cure, and a few drops
of benzoin usually improve it as a lotion
The juice extracted in this way is said
to be better than when the cucumbers are
boiled.
Lettuce cream is another one of our
grandmothers remedies for preserving
the complexion that have come into vogue
again. 1t is made by scalding a head of
lettuce with boiling water and allowing
1t to stand for half an hour Pour off the
water, pound the lettuce to paste with
a potato masher, then strain through
cheeseclOth. Now melt one ounce OF
white wax four ounces of almond oil and
one ounce of spermecti in a double boiler
Do not let these ingredients come to a
boil Just melt them and then drop
by drop add the lettuce juice, beating con-
stantly with a fork until the cream is per-
fectly smooth and cold.

FirSt-Aid Hints in
Case of an Accident

Fruits, both kindly and otherwise, are
rlpening early this year, and the season
OF poisoning scares has been started
rather before its usual time. A few days
ago several children were found in a col
lapsed condition in public park owing
to their having eaten the seeds of a
poisonous bush. and doubtless many
mothers have been filled with anxious
fears since the incident occurred.
AS early as possible children should be
taught that many tempting looking ber-
ries. even though they may grow in
garden, are poisonous, and they will then
cease to eat anything unfa miliar City
children, of course, are much more liable
to danger of this sort than country bred
boys and girls. Village children, in fact.
are often too suspicious of Dame Nature,
and despise such good things as water
cresS and blackberres.
Foxglove poisoning is fairly common
disaster. The tirst-aid treatment for
mother or nurse to administer is mus
tard, salt and warm water emetic fol-
lowed by draughts of very strong tea

when served with the frothing white Of

In Defense Of "0ld Maids. :"
By Ruth Cameron.

A western minister has recently got
have desired by saying that bachelors
and old maids should be exiled to a
desert island there to reflect on their
state as waste Of humanity.
Yesterday 1 recalled that brilliant
statement and wished with all my
heart that its author could have sat
beside me on the trolley car.
l was riding in town on one OF the
morning cars. 1t was the hour at
which most of the passengers are
| workers in shops and offices on their
way to the days Imprisonment, but
there was one woman with little
child in her arms. 1 did not happen
to see the child because she was so
placed as to be put off my direct line
of vision, but / saw her reflected in
the faces Of three women opposite me.
These three women were evidently go
ing to work in shops or offices. they
were middle-aged and apparently of
that criminal class against which the
minister preached. And yet, as l say.
without being able to see that baby
myself, l knew there must be a baby
somewhere by the strange, sweet look
which came over those three faces and
the absorbed way in which they gazed
across the aisle.
II that minister could have sat be-
side me. l don't think even the desire
for notoriety could have persuaded
him to talk about old maids that way
again.
If there is any more ridiculous idea
than this notion that the average old
maid dislikes children and deliberately
chooses a single existence because she
has q pickle lime temperament. in
spite of eager protests on the part OF
desirable males. l have yet to meet 1T.
And yet 1t seems to be a favorite
theory both with men and with safely
married females.
Stuff and nonsense! To be sure there
aren't many women who never had
a chance" But there are plenty of
women who haven't had a chance to
marry a man whom they could respect
and like and trust-to say nothing of
love. And is q woman to be blamed
for not swapping up anything at all In
| bachelor maids, how unfairly we treat
them, alternately we make fun Of
them for being ready to snatch at a
straw, and preach against them for
not being ready to.
This western minister's statement
was more widely quoted than 1t would
otherwise have been because good
and wise bachelor girl. widely known
| and as widely loved. has rebuked him,
IF / had found suitable helpmate
| might have spent my money in diff
| ferent way. which might not have done
| as much good as it does now." says
Helen Gould. please think this over
and before preaching on this subject
again make up your mind that there
| is some good in living single life"
The sanity and dignity of that quiet
statement is as soothing after that
foolish TRADE as silence after a
| tumult.
To be sure there may be some silly,
cold hearted, child hating old maids,
| but I don't believe they are any more
| common than silly, cold hearted, child
hating married woman, nor half so
common as splendid brave-hearted
self-sacriicing old maids.

Magpie Effects.

Black and white effects are. OF course
worn by the smartest women. Among
the most stylish little frocks recently
seen was one OF striped linen made
with the straight and simple lines OF
a soutane and piped down the from,
and round the hem and cuffs with
cherry-colored satin. The belt, oi
course, was Of patent leather. and the
hat that was worn to complete the
toilet was of white felt caught up a,
one side by a bunch Of cherries.
You may remark that the hat sounds
rather autumnal, but the fad OF the
moment is precipitating the season
and SO one sees already many hats
especially among the smaller varieties
that are already Of felt or velours
The attractive finishing touch was a
deep collar of white lawn, with an
edging Of cluny lace

Poisonous Berries.

Yew berries are already formed in the
garden hedges, and make a tempting dis
covery for curious child. They are high
ly poisonous, and the mustard and salt
emetic should be given if they have been
eaten. and followed by little brandy.
The proportions of the emetic are tea
spoonful each of mustard and salt stirred
into a tumblerful of warm water. OF
course, doctor should be summoned in
all these cases, but the emetic may be
administered at once. 1t frequently hap
pens that no doctor is within call when
a family is staying in the depths of the
country, and every mother and nurse
should be ready to face emergencies.
Deadly nightshade is the poisonous
growth most to be feared. The symptoms
of it's poison are heaviness and dulIness.
Usually the child becomes dizzy and feels
a deadly sickness. Vinegar and water
should first be given-two parts of water
to one Of vinegar-and followed by the
mustard and salt emetic
Evening star., 1912-09-04
Self Control Necessary.

1t Is most important that these matters
should be taken in hand by some one of
complete self control If the child is ter
rorized by hysterical people treatment be-
comes more difficult. The little sufferer
may refuse to tell what he has really
eaten or great trouble may be had in
forcing him to swallow the emetic. Self
control under the excitement of serious
mishaps, in fact. is one of the first uuali-
ties which the conscientious mother
should look for in nurse.
The old-fashioned remedy Of powder
blue for wasp stings is still one of the
most effective. and has the advantage of
being quickly ard easily procured, but the
mistress of a wasp-infested garden will
do well to have on hand a mixture of an
ounce of vinegar with an ounce of spirits
of wine and four ounces of water. Sal
volatile is another remedy, but Ms only
efficacious il used at once Spirits of
hartshorn will also take the pain from the
wound In very severe cases a paste made
from drachm of powdered opium mixed
with an ounce of olive oil should be ap-
piled to the injured part.
Gnats or ''midges," on a damp and sui
try day. are capable of destroying all
ones outdoor pleasure by their deter
mined attacks. The itching sensa ton
which follows their bites may be relieved
by the application Of a thin paste OF chalk
and water.

Fashion and Footgear.

Nearly every one Is wearing white boots
or shoes. and colored shoes are scarcely
to be seen. Either white glace or suede
is chosen. and in either case the foot
gear is finished by strappings OF black
patent leather which may be Judiciously
nlacad so as 70 make the foot appear
quite tiny-though this is so rarely the
case that the feminine foot this season
looks enormous. Black velvet. which is
the other popular material. by no means
minimizes sizes, but also cOntrives to
make the foot look clumsy, so that in
regard to neatness the most attractive
footgear of the season is the shoe which
is of suede finished by a pretty buckle
that must not. however, be too 0btrusive.

Steamed Eggs.

An especially dainty way Of serving an
egg is in a soufie dish, in which it has
been broken with a little cream and a
small knob of butter to float in. The
dish is put in boiling water. and the egg
is allowed to steam till 1t sets, and for
two or three minutes more.

To Clean White Wells.

White wells are so much in vogue
that women may find 1t useful to know
how to do these up successfully at
home. as they are sometimes apt to
be roughly handled in the public
laundry.
First make a solution of white soap
or lather of good soap powder. Let
the veil simmer in 1t for quarter of
an hour. Squeeze in warm water and
soap till it is clean; then rinse In cold
water slightly blued.
Pour boiling water on a teaspoonful
of starch; run the veil through this
and clear by clapping it, Pin 1t out on
a cloth or cushion very evenly by the
edges to dry.
