Rroposed hY Accident.

Mr. Spooner, the clergyman who be-
came famous for those humorous mis-
placements of initial consonants that
have become known as "Spoonerisms,' -
is said to have owed his marriage to a
characteristic slip OF the tongue. He
was very shy and would never have
had the courage to ask woman to be
his wife, but one afternoon in a friend s
drawing room he was requested to ask
one of the ladies present to make tea
In doing so he Numbered as usual
"will you take me?" he said, instead OF
"Will you make tea:" Blushing. the
lady took him." and thus he blum
dered" into happy marriage.

PRAISES
LOCAL EXHIBITION
Declares that Birds Are Well
Groomed and Properly
Attended.

The poultry on exhibition at the
Coliseum under the auspices of the
Greater Richmond Poultry association
is highly praised by Judge H. A.
Pickett of Greentown, Indiana today.
Judge Pickett stated that the exhibit
ton of Buff Leghorn chickens was
the best exhibition in the state. Other
stock which received particular praise
were the exhibitions of white leghorns
and white orpingtons.
The Richmond show is one of the
finest exhibitions in the state" said
Judge Pickett. Fort Wayne and In
dianapolis of course had larger shows,
but the one in this city is an excellent
one. The birds are all we'll groomed
and show the careful attention given
them by their owners
Hundreds of the chickens on exhibit
ton apparently realize that they are
, the center of attraction. Some of the
birds will hold their feet and heads
| just as placed by their owners and ap
| parently realize that they are on ex
hibition as they pose before their ad
| mirers before the wire cages.
In spite Of the Indictment weather q
large crowd of fanciers attended the
exhibition yesterday and today
Cash Beall, secretary of the associa
ton says that every indication point
ed to the most successful show ever
held in this city by the chicken fan
been distributed today. The silver
cups will not be awarded until tn.
show has been completed.

CONCENTRATION OF
FINANCIAL POWER
Admitted by G. M. Reynolds,
Prominent Chicago Bank
er on Witness Stand.
A REMEDY REQUIRED
A Few Men, Reynolds Said,
Can Control Entire u. S.
Credit System.

(NationaI News ASsociation)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-George
M. Reynolds, president of the Cont
mental and Commercial bank of Chi
cago was witness before the money
trust investigating committee today
His bank has a capital of $31, 900, 900
and total deposits of $181 100000. A
trust company and a savings bank are
operated under state laws in connec-
ton with the National bank he stated.
Mr.. Reynolds asserted as his belief
that there is concentration Of money
power in New York and other cities
that in a general way represents a
menace to the country.
Excess of power of any kind in the
hands of few men," he said," is a
menace. A distribution of power
would be better for the masses. In
my opinion concentration of credit and
wealth already has gone SO far as to
constitute a menace. / do not meen to
say by this that the people now in
control have used their power unfairly.
The theory of voting trustees in the
hands of three men, which prevailed
at Guaranty Trust company and Bank
ers' Trust company. In New York he
was declared by Reynolds to be I'M
wise. A speech which Reynolds de-
livered in 1911 was read to the wit
ness by Mr.. Untermeyer. Among the
statements therein was one that the
money trust was in the hands of doz-
en- men of whom he (Reynolds) was
one. Reynolds explained that he was
referring in this speech to the national
power to issue credit which was con-
centrated in few of the national re-
serve cities.
This explanation was offered also
in connection with the extract from his
speech asserting that two or three
men in New York and two or three in
Chicago and two or three men in st.
Louis could control the entire credit
in country banks" Mr.. Reynolds de-
clared himself in favor of currency
extension to end existing evils and
said he would take his chances of sue
cess under the law of competition.

Caring For Babies
 In Hot Weather


 These are the death days for babiea. Ten times as many babies die during tbs hot weeks of July and August as 1 in all the rest of the year.
 In the effort to lessen this terrific death toll the agents of the govern ment are carrying on a babies health
 campaign through the infants milk
 stations of the board of health and through private philanthropic agencies.
 The New York department of health has prepared a pamphlet of rules for the care of babies in hot weather Some of them are as follows: A1ilk.-Bottle D fed - babies must be
 given epIy good milk which sIs kept constantly covered and on ice. Use
 milk furnished by the milk depots or diet kitchens. If the milk stations are
 not convenient get good bottled milk
 which is delivered every morning IT
 the milk cannot be kept properly cool | ed it should be boiled as soon as re-
 ceived.
 Feedings.-Prepare the feedings for
 the baby exactly as the doctor directs
 Feed the baby at regular hours. Each feeding should be heated to a proper
 temperature in the nursing bottle be-
 fore it is given to the baby. Taste
 spoonful of the milk immediately be- i fore giving it to the baby to be sure | that 1t has not soured. If the milk is
 not sweet do not give 1t to the baby. Clean1fness.-As soon as the bottle used by the baby is empty 1t should be l thoroughly washed with cold water: l then cleansed with borax and hot wa ! ter Ca teaspoonfuI Of borax to a pint
 of Water)- The empty bottle should be put upside down on a shelf The bottles should be boiled just before filling for the next feeding. The nip
 pie should be thoroughly washed after
 each nursing with hot water and when | not in use should soak in. borax water | in covered glass. The nipple must be rfnsed in boiling water just before 1 the baby uses 1t
 - C1othing.-Durfng the very hot days
 or if the baby has fever. remove nearly l all the clothing. A muslin slip or
 gauge shirt is enough. A baby with
 fever will not catch cold
 l Bathing.-A baby should have one
 tub bath every day. on very warm days
 from two to four general sponginFs | with cool water If the baby has fever
 three hours and place cool. wet cloths | on its head.
 Fresh Air.-Babies. sick or ven. must have fresh air. Keep the baby 1 house or apartment Keep as little fire as possible Keep the rooms free from
 garbage, soiIed clothes and rubbish Leave. the windows open day and l night. Avoid the sun on hot days. Select the shady side of the street and
 the shade of the parks. recreation piers
 and roofs.
 1 Sleep and 0uiet-Keep the baby 1 quiet. Let it sleep alone and let it
 sleep as much as possible. Lay tt on a firm bed. not on feather pillows.
 Keep the baby and bedcIothes clean Change the diaper and bedclothes as
 soon as soiled and sponge the baby 1 with a soft cloth and cool water. If this is done the baby will not be SO restless and will sleep better. Do not
 give soothing strup to make the baby quiet and do not let the baby hang on the nipple or suck a 'sbaby com
 forter.''

they are as good or better without any such additions.
 the whites and yoIlzs of the eggs sepa- rately. This will make the desserts particularly delicate. Jam and Jelly ome1ets are also improved by first whipping the whites and then adding them to the yollzs.
 Orange Omelet.
 For an orange ome1et have ready a tablespoonful of salt, two oranges and two tablespoonfuls of butter. Crate the rind of one Of the oranges over one of the spoonfu1s of sugar. Pare the oranges and cut them in thin slices lengthwise-not crosswise. as usual Over the sliced oranges sprinkle two tabIespoonfuIs of the sugar. Whip the whites of the eggs until they are a daky, firm froth. Fold through them the sugar that was mixed with the grated orange rfnd. the yolks of the eggs and the orange juice that dripped from the oranges in cutting them. Put the butter into a frying pan and let it melt; then add the omelet- Just be- fore folding spread with most of the orange slices we'll sprinkled with pow dered sugar. After folding sprinkle with sugar and put 1t into the oven to stand for a few minutes. Before send ing to the table decorate with few of the slices cut in fancy shapes. Some times the omelet is not folded over at all, but after frying on top of the stove, usual, it is put into the oven to be- come firm or slightly brown on top. Slices of orange are not used except perhaps a few, cut in fancy shapes, for decorative purposes. When sent to the table the omelet is accompanied with whipped cream favored with grated orange rind The omelet itself should have been literally favored with the orange juice and grated rind to give 1t delightful flavor.

Soap In the Garden

NEW amateur gardeners realize the
 value of solutions of soap in the garden, especially when used at this time of year. The best soap for the purpose is white castillo, but any mild white soap will suffice.
 As an insecticide or fungtcdde shave an ordinary sized bar of the soap Add three gallons of 1ukewarm water and six drops of lemon oil Stir well and before the water is quite cool spray the plant thoroughly. not only on the top of the foliage, but under it. The liquid, besides funigating the plants, VvHIv enrich the sol, and it is inyalu- able for checking mfIdew on roses, ssf To keep flowers in nice condition shave a pound of soap very finely into a gallon of boiling water. When. dis solved add tWenty-four gallons of cold water and use without delay. If a small quantity is wanted dissolve one sixth of a small cake of soap in a pint of boiling water and add a gallon and a half of cold water.
 Apply to rose plants, carnations. vio let leaves and the like. Half an hour after applying rinse off the solution with soft, clear water
 For begonias, fuchsias, ferns and all tender and bulbous plants add third more water to the solution so that it will be about three-fourths as strong as the one mentioned above, and. again, after half an hour, rinse off with clear, soft water. Be careful always to reach the under as well as the up- per side of the leaves.

Advice About Baggage

DON'T overload yourself with bag
 gage if you are going abroad for a few months. Try, if possible, to get along with one trunk and if that piece It Of the wardrobe type, as with one of these there need be unpacking at every stopping place. The two dozen pr more of gowns, frocks and coats re- main on their hangers. occupying one Bide of the box, and the lingerie, shoes and accessories in the various drawers which fill the remaining space. Lack Ing wardrobe trunk, best take small steamer trunk, preferably of eHameled leather. and medium sized hatbox Of matching material
 But be sure that the latter piece has 3 tray, as in that event during short side trips 1t will hold everything likely to be needed for a week or ten days Meanwhile the trunk may be express ed ahead to the next stopping place. Express charges throughout Europe are very high. and this fact must be taken into consideration when plan ming the disposal of the various pieces Df luggage That is why the enameled leather or the straw hamper is more popular with the American tourist who knows the ropes than is the big Saratoga
 Steamer rolls of small size are pref erable to satcheIs and G1adstones for hand luggage, for their capacity seems 70 De almost lILn1tleSS- Provided an sxtra hat is not needed a tourist can easily manage for a week or more with what one Of these rolls will hold and he receptacle is quite as easily carried IS is a dress suit case.
