reminds one of the housewife
who, looking at Niagara falls
for the first time, said. "Oh,
this big splash of water reminds me-
that left the kitchen tap running"
Like this visitor to the falls many wo-
men keep II weather eye out for big
economies and leave the tap OF little
savings running. Taking care OF
clothes Is means of much saving to
the woman who will spend time and
thought upon her wardrobe Every
woman knows the ruinous sums 1t
costs each season to have her evening
frocks, light suits and silk blouses and
other unwashable materials cleaned.
Where gasoline is possible as renova-
tor she may sometimes try the expert
ment OF doing little OF her own clean
ing. but II is seldom successful. and IL
Is as hard To lose the odor of gasoline
as II is To acquire the odor of sanctty.
Also II is dangerous.
Therefore the knowledge of some
simple methods of dry cleaning that
can be done nj home and that leave no
trace of the process would save many
u precious dollar to the woman who Is
running 10 the limit of her allowance
for dress. The materials required are
very simple-fuller's earth. block mag
nesia. boracic talcum powder. flour and
borax or even plain cornmeal. The
first three can be bought by the ounce
or pound from any druggist. and the
others are always In the pantry or
store chest.
For n white silk blouse 1t Is perfectly
safe to use either the meals or talcum
powder A white serge suit for ex-
ample can be very successfully cleaned
by putting it into dry. clean tub and
covering II over with cornmeal slightly
sailed. The suit can be rubbed with
the hands exactly as II IL were In soap
suds. the most energetic rubbing natur-
ally being given to the spots which are
most soiled After II has been thor
oughly gone over the meal should be
thrown out and the gown put back into
the tub and covered over with clean
meal 1t should be left there for two
days, with n cloth over the tub to keep
out the dust. and then shaken out and
brushed with a perfectly clean brush.

MRS. PANkHURST.

Mrs. Pankhursts lucid interval in
which she promised to refrain from in
citing violence and from addressing
public meetings during the tendency
of the proceedings growing out Of the
attempt to destroy the country home
Of Lloyd George was Of short dura-
ton. When her bail bond had been
signed she was asked TO repeat her
pledge, which she refused to do. Then
the judge denied bail. She will be
held for trial,and there seems to be no
loophole through which she can es-
cape conviction and sentence on the
serious charge against her, the ex-
IRENE penalty for which is fourteen
years Imprisonment.
In her Cardiff speech Mrs. Pank-
hurst assumed responsibility for the
outrage against the chancellor and
dared government 10 arrest her and
place her on trial. She has sedulous-
y striven To bring about the unpleas-
ant situation in which she finds her
self placed. If she remains convinced
that her course is doing good TO her
cause she is victim Of frenzied self
deception. Among those who most
emphatically decry her tactics are wo-
men who are eager for the franchise
as she is, but not unmindful of the
duty Of every individual to respect
the rights Of other individuals and to
obey the law.

Her lqnorance.

In small college town there appear
ed In Il picture store II Photographic
copy of a modern Madonna. 1t was
beautiful picture. and ii so excited the
admiration of woman who frequently
passed the window that at length she
entered the store to inquire the name
of the artist. AS soon as she saw the
salesman who approached she felt that
her quest was hopeless; but, having no
other errand, she was obliged TO pro-
coed with her request.
Can you tell me" she said, ''whose
Madonna that is in the Window"
why" stammered the clerk, cts
it's ours. It's for sale
"Oh," she answered blankly, $50 you
don't know who painted it?'
He gazed at her with mingled scorn
and compassion as he replied. "'Tain't

Wanted the Handicap Removed.

Just what constitutes news is a
much mooted question. to the general
public especially. The average news
paper reader considers that anything
that pertains to him personally is the
most important piece of news that Il

OF the popular Kansas City clubs. re-
Gently divorced. furnishes an example
of one conception of news.

He Fixed Them.

Corporal Tanners favorite story Is in
connection with presidential cam
paigel of some years ago. The speakers
were being carried through Iowa on
their special train. The mayor of the
last town passed always accompanied
them TO the next town. One of these
municipal dignitaries remarked that
they were queer lot of Republicans,
for he hadn't seen card while he'd
been with them. They assured him
that they were all regular and
stanch," but had, strange to say, for
gotten to bring along any cards or
chips. His honor expressed sympathy
and said he'd try to supply the need
full.
Soon afterward the next mayor met
them at a way station After introduce
tons and liquidations the two were OBJ

the value of IA cents, and the cost or

fifteen dollars. A bounty was placed
upon wolves.

Salisbury II was predicted that this
town would become great city. There
is not so much as a log cabin there TO
show that il was once Wayne county
seat of justice and the old court
house which stood there for years was
finally removed to Centerville.
The notes compiled by Auditor Bow

that Wayne county was in debt was
in 1912 when the treasurers books
showed a deficit of S3.71. Some of the
notes follow:
Wayne county was formed in the
year 1910. II was composed of that
part of Dearborn county lying east
of the Twelve Mile Purchase and be
tween the north and south lines as at
present.
The first commissioners were ap'
pointed by the state for the purpose OF
