To Clean Lettuce.

When cleaning lettuce one often finds
that each leaf contains hundreds Of small
green bugs almost invisible to the naked
eye. It is q great t!me-saver to nrst
wash the surplus dirt from the lettuce.
and to have ready q pan Of water, n
hot as you can bear your hands In. Take
eAch leaf and shake II around in the hot
water several times and you will fnd
that the bugs will loosen their hold on
the lettuce and will remain in the water.
II the water becomes cool. heat II again.
as cold water does not have the same ef-
feet as the hot.

The evening dresses for informal wear
follow classic drapery lines, in the de-
velopment OF which silk is often combined
with rich laces. Sash draperies of tulle
or crepe, many rich brocades, and en-
broideries in the trimmings. are seen on
these dresses designed for wear at dinner
and informal evening functions.

When you go on your summer UP
have four or five pieces of mat or straw

Wrap dresses in tissue paper, and Tie
to these boards with tape You can
pack or unpaca and nothing need be
disturbed until it is ready to be worn.
You may almost live in trunk with

KEEPING THE HOUSE
COOL. IN MIDSUMMER
Windows Should Be Shaded with
Binds, Shuttsrs, o.

Awnings.
Keeping the house cool in summer 10
not always an easy problem to solve.
People who have large houses and money
enough to equip them with electric fanG
and other appliances can, Of course. keep
very comfortable. but II Ii more difacult
to manage II In small houses.
Windows must be shaded with blinds,
shutters. or awnings. and be well
screened. All the heavy hangings should
be removed, and where possible the car
pets should be taken up and cool colors,
such as white, grey. light green's. and
blues, should take the place OF the
warmer colors. Then white muslin cur
tains soften the light though many peo-
pie object to even that much drapery.
The coolest hours Of summer are the
night hours. Therefore the night air
should be allowed to circulate freely
through every part OF the house. The
best circulation is obtained by having
windows open at the top and bottom
instead of entirely at the bottom. This
let's out the hot air and lets in the cool.
When this method 10 followed put the
screen In the lower sash OF one window
Of each room and in the upper sash of
another.

windows should be open only at night
when it is comparatively cool. Open
them At sundown and close them at 8

Cry for PIayGrounds.
The cry for Fairgrounds and yet more
Fairgrounds goes up in every city and
hamlet where there are reeking tene-
ments-and where are there not?-and
where children must play in the germ
laden dirt and dust Of the streets. out
where the big, hot sun beats down as It
does not beat in the parks; and yet there
are not half enough. And there never
will be enough until they are dotted here
and there where the babies and the girls
and boys are the thickest and the need
lest. For children never can grow and
thrive like little nature-howers until they
are kissed by wind and sun unburdened
with the germs that float about in the
streets and unguarded homes
And until the time comes that the call
of the children for Fairgrounds Is heard
and well answered. it does seem that
the real purpose of parks is forgotten.

their glorious shade and their big. green

ALMOST LAST CALL FOR OSTRICH PlUMEs
6aIke's Big Curio Store About to Close That Department for the Season.

This is about the last call for ostrich plumeS that will be issued from Bake S Big Curio store for this season, when the subject will be changed. Never in the history of the store has there been such a demand for ostrich plumes. Many of the purchasers in different parts of the country have been those who had purchased before and knew what they were buying. There are not now many plumes left. just enough to supply the needs of those who wish to make Easter presents to their friends and have not vet done so.
 Attention is once more called t0 the ostrich feather fans, beauties in a great variety of price and in colOrs, black. white, blue and pink. They would make most admirable Easter presents
 There has been a great run on blown ostrich eggs. There are less than a dozen of them left. They do not cost much and would be very highly appre ciated as gifts.

Arizona. the state, had been made the recipient of three bronze field pieces saved from times when the march of the war god had not been so rapid and most any kind of big gun was dangerous and effective. But the speedy movement of science had antiquated a lot of different sorts of heavy arms and the guns had to be discarded.
 The three guns with their carriages and shot are now in possession of the secretary of war, who is directed by the section of the bill to deliver them to the state for use in decorating the grounds of the state house in Phoenix.
