W7uTTE TEGHORNs TO HAVE
 LARGE POULTRY SHOW FLAG

An interesting exhibit will be made hv a TrunbulI breeder of White Leg horns at the poultry show next week. This man has engaged a space 40 feet square at the RosedaIe dock where tbe exhibit is to be held, and in it he will show miniature chicken farm with 1,5O0 little one day old White Leghorn chicks. Visitors to thls DOT +ioo of the exhibit will see incubators filled with eggs which are about to hatch, and it will doubtless be inter esting to many people to watch the little chicks pick their way through the narrow confines of an egg shell to the wider limitations Of the little chicken farm.

It is not strange that some aof the states largest manufacturing concerns prefer to continue their tried plans for compensation for injuries and for adjusting claims instead of hastening to accept the new law. In 9 number Of these concerns there have been or ganized for a number of years mutual benefit societies, with. power to arbi- trate and fix compenea tion in cases of misfortune, and these methods have proved Satisfactory not only to the companies but to their employees. To change from plans which have been the means of settling such prahI ems upon what both parties have found an equitable basis for a plan which is yet to be perfected by actual test, would be needleEsly venturesome. Neither the companies concerned, nor the ern- ployes whose interests are quite as much at stake, would be likely to take the initiative to bring about such a change until the operation of the new state law has proved to be as good or better than that of the protection which the companies now provide for emselves-Hartford Times.

If the small boys woolIen suit be- comes spotted or stained, try cleaning it with alcohol Wood alcohol is quite as satisfactory as grain alcohol and, of course, much. less expensive. Simp- ly rub the spot with alcohol as you would rub it with naphtha. The aIco- hOl is pleasanter to use than gasoIene, both because the odor of alcohol is not generally so offensive as that of gaso- lene and because it evaporates more, quickly and because it irritates the hands less. Of course, the small boys suit is not the only thing that can benefit from this sort of bath. Any dark woolIen suit can be cleaned with alcohol, provided the alcohol does not harm the color. ark blue and black serge, for instance, look the bet ter for alcohol. Red would doubtless show lighter where the alcohol was used.

And now for soiled gloves: The best way to clean them is to make naph-- tha' soapsuds-which is no different from a water soapsuds save that the naphtha is not warmed, as the water generally is. But rub a cake of soap about in naphtha until a, foamy suds results and in this suds wash the gloves. Rinse them in clear naphtha. The professional cleaners use chIoro- form in third rinsing naphtha, but that is too troublesome for most of us, and gloves washed first ins soap and naphtha, then in clear naphtha, will be spotless, if anything can make them so.

Here is a southern housewife's meth cd of cleaning brass: She mixes fine wood ashes with lemon juice to make Q paste, use thin enough to handle on soft flannel cloth.

HELPFUL HINTS
 FOR MOTHER

Don't despair when you tip the ink bottle over on your lily white hands or do anything else to bring stains to your fingers. Here is @ remedy, given by a manicure specialist, which is warranted to remove stains of any sort from the hands: Mix 9 little baking soda and powdered punice stone together and moisten the mix ture with peroxide of hydrogen until it is the consistency of cream. Rub the stained skin with this mixture and behold, as if by magic the stains disappear. ''Others may recommend lemon juice or sulphur fumes or one of the patented bleaches,'' says this clever manicure, but just try my rem edy when your fingers are stained and you will never desire to try any oth- er.''

onize free sugar and the situation
thus became much worse.
Two dilemmas confronted the DEM
ocrats. One was to defer considera-
ton of the sugar schedule until a sue
cessor 20 Mr.. Johnston, could be
chosen, or the governor obtain author
ity from the Alabama legislature to
make a temporary appointment. The
other was to open up negotiations
with the Republicans and seek to Sc
cure a few Progressive votes.
1t was determined to try the nego-
tiation plan first and learn what
could be accomplished. 0vertures
were made to Senator Poindexter, the
solitary Bull Moose member of the
upper branch in congress. He fatty
lefused to make any promises what.
ever. He announced that his course
would be to vote for such features OF
the tariff bill as seemed sufficiently
progressive and vote against those
that appeared reactionary. He did
not indicate how far he would go in
the direction of free sugar.
Democratic leaders then conferred
with Senators LaFollette and Kenyon,
regarded as the most radical of the
Progressives. They were offered
concessions but would not accept
them Their demands were greater
than the Democrats could concede
without mourning the disapproval Of
President Wilson.
i A plan then was devised to hasten
the final passage Of the tariff bill.
The majority leaders wanted Sena-
tors LaFollette and Smoot, represent
ing the Regular and Progressive fac
tons to agree to an early vote on
the bill in return for putting such du-
ties on farm products as would meet
the cry of discrimination against the
farmer" The negotiations came to
nothing, for the reason that the Dem
ocratic leaders would give no assur-
ances concerning the duties on farm
products after the bill went to confer
enee.
The Democratic leaders do not
|deny that the constant. cry of eds
elimination against the farmer" by
the Republicans is getting on their
nerves. They fear it will cost the
Democrats votes.
AS result of the various confer
ences held, it became evident that the
senate Democrats will take. no
chances on sugar They will make
certain that they have sufficient
votes to approve the caucus action
before considering the disputed
schedule. If necessary, they will
wait until another strict party Demo
crat can come in from Alabama They
will take no chances on Ne&lands or

DOCTOR PRATT
SAYS TWO-YEAR
Term Is SHORT

AS stated in the Star-Bulletin yes
terday, Governor Frear reappointed
DIR. j. S. 3. Pratt to the presidency of
the board OF health and the latter is
now in Office for another two years,
unless he chooses to resign before
the expiration of the term. or the ter
ritorial senate in 1915 refuses to
confirm the appointment. Even in the
latter event, DR.. Pratt may continue
in Office eighteen months longer.
Discussing the situation yesterday,
DR.. Pratt commented on this phase.
This Is the only territorial depart
ment, the head Of which serves for
a two-year term" he said. All the
other members OF the governors cab
met are given four-year terms. In
Justice to the department, and regard
less of who may be appointed, the pres
ident's term should be at least as
long as that of the other officials. It
takes at least six months for new
man to familiarize himself with the
details of the position, to be able to
outline program of action, to mar
tial his forces. and see that all the
business is handled to the best adj
vantage to the people.
Some of our lines of endeayor re-
quiro painstaking preparation, close
study, and then lot of patient wait
ing before they are accomplished.
Fer Instance, ! have been trying, al
NEST ever since came into Office, to
have those insanitary lands at Hilo
acclaimed. And now we are just on
the point of realizing success in that
plan There are many other health
plans that require the same sort of
persistent plugging to accomplish,
and health work in the islands is too
important to have them ignored or
neglected, as they are certain to be
to some extent If new president
were appointed every two years.
The value of the longer term is
recognized by the chief executives,
who have invariably retained their
health board presidents longer than
the mere two years given them by
law"
