DESIGN FOR FACE CLOTH BAG
Dainty Woman Will Be Careful to
Have Separate Receptacle for This
Most Necessary Utensil.

The absolutely dainty girl Is espe-
cially careful Of her face cloth. She
uses 1t but one day, and in order that
1t may not accumulate germs and other
Impurities she is particular to keep it
out Of the way of them-in a bag
This bag. like all of the other toilet
belongings of the dainty girl, is a
fetching affair of cretonne, shaped like
q correspondence card envelope and
about twice the size of such a recep-
tacle.
To make one of these face cloth
bags, cut paper pattern of a CORE
spondence envelope, enlarge it doubly
and lay it upon a piece of cretonne.
Then cut similar shape from rubber
lied tissue cloth, place the edges of
the two materials together, bind them
with ribbon and join three of the
points together under fancy button,
leaving the fourth edge for the flap,
whose point should be equipped with
loop large enough to go over the
button.
The rubber lined envelope is really
the only sanitary receptacle for a face
cloth, and it is the only one in which
damp rag can be placed safely.
Even this should not be permitted to
become water soaked, as it inevitably
will do unless frequently spread out
fiat and hung in the sun.

NOT LIKELY TO Be ACCEPTED
Armistice Is Extended Until February

--a Is Belief Expressed .i.z
In Picking. GEy

Picking, Jan. 29--The armistice be-
tween the government and republican
forces, which was to have expired to-
day. has been extended until Febru-
AIRY IL. .- .s....
1t is believed here that neither the
rebels nor the republicans will OBJ
serve the extension of the armistice.
The imperialists have ordered that a
division of troops march at once on
Chefoo and military activities are re-
ported from republican headquarters.
Chinese "Pope" Is Opposed.
The Manchu princes have an
nounced that they will agree to the
abdication Of the emperor If he be
given absolute spiritual control In
China. This proposal to create a Chi
nese pope" is received with wide
spread surprise and with much hos
tility. There is little chance that 1t
would be accepted as the southern
rebels see In 1t an intrigue. whereby
the Manchu dynasty might later re-
claim it's old power. The acceptance
Of the proposal would mean a state
of affairs In China similar to the posi-
ton Of the emperor OF Japan during
the Shogunate.
The position Of Premier Yuan Shi
Yai is now positively perilous, Japan
seems to have entirely abandoned her
attitude as favoring the retention Of
the monarchy and the premier. it is
evident, will soon find himself in the
embarrassing position of having no
support from any quarter.
At a meeting of the Chinese royal
family to consider abdication, the
empress dowager and Prince Ching
expressed themselves as being will
ing to relinquish the throne but the
other princes vigorously opposed abb
dication at this time. Prince Ching
and the empress view with alarm the
increasing popularity of Prince Kung,
who they fear may attempt to usurp
the" throne.
The forty-four imperial officers who
petitioned for abdication are all I'M
der the control of Yuan Shi Kai. This
fact is regarded as highly significant
of the present attitude of the premier
toward the situation

ALL FOR GOOD ROADS
Every Township but One Repre-
scented at Meeting.

When County Auditor Briggs called
the roll at the good roads meeting
Tuesday afternoon every township in
the county was represented except
Richland. All the trustees and others
were present from most of the town.
ships. This is an unusually good
showing and argues we'll for the great
cause.
The afternoon meeting tested the
seating capacity of the court room
and it was not only a school of in.
struction, but an enjoyable afternoon.
Senator Young supplemented his talk
on good roads with some excellent
thoughts on good living, and withal
he made one of the best talks ever
heard here.
Frank A. Nimocks, postmaster at
Ottumwa, was again called on in the
afternoon and answered many ques.
tions to the satisfaction Of all con-
cerned. He is practical and plain
and is doing much for the cause.
Mr.. Young had with him Robert R.
Morrison, OF Des Moines, a vocalist
of exceptional power. He sang sever
al popular airs, the crowd joining in
the chorus to good effect. This feat.
ure added much to the enjoyment of
the afternoon.
Next Monday is the day fixed by
law for the trustees of the various
townships to elect road superinten.
dents and look after other matters
pertaining to the highways. The
meeting of Tuesday will be of great
advantage to these officers and all
will be able to act with greater famil.
iarity with the subject at hand.
