Federals retired, twenty-five men, dead
and wounded, lay about the Bolts home.
Mr.. Bolts became sexton for the dead.
The house became hospital, and the
women of his household cared tenderly
for the wounded.
Before the work of mercy had been long
in progress Stuart's troopers overrar the
place Mr.. Bolts was placed under ar
rest, charged with giving aid and COM
fort to the enemy by having entertained
Gen. Meade, the Federal commander, at
his house.
Before Stuart's men moved on in pur-
suit of the retiring Federal army, they
had denuded the estate OF its stock, the
contents of the smokehouse and the
growing crops. Corn that could not be
taken away was burned.

WOMAN AND THE HOME

disturbed by the light-hearted manner in
which some seemingly well-meaning cit
izens close their eyes to out-and-out un-
fitnesss not only close their eyes, but go
on applaudlng. And II Is not because we
desire to see the guilty brought low.
but rather that we want our public
standards maintained.
II Is that alone that makes US protest
at the disturbing clamor over fallen
idol.
More Than Pity.
For IL matters little whether 1t is the
head Of a nation. a State. a home, a
church, a school or a business-if the
head goes wrong, the whole body must
suffer.
1t is more than a pity when a head
drops away and is not fit for the work
Of guidance any longer; but, to one
woman-mind, at least, IL always has
seemed that something must be wrong
with a nation. a State. a church. a
school or a business. IL possibly not
with a home, that will continue at the
head a man who has been found sig
nally unworthy Of the post
Because IL seems like an open con-
fession of very poor standards. AMI
1t Is that that hurts, in any high place.
that that nightly lessons its influence.
When men at the head do slip from
the straight and narrow way, slip far
ther and still farther down. until at
last the folk who make up their public
know very well that their usefulness is
all gone. there are still many to urge
but let them be retained for the good
of the institutions for which they stand.
Can't Rise Higher Than Head.
But. again to the woman-mind, II
seems that that is the hardest blow the
institutions receive; because no institu-
ton can rise any higher than its mead.
and when the outside world measures up
its standards by the man who represents
IL, IL he happens to be conspicuous in
offending. how can IL have any faith at
all in the institution or the man?
In passing. some of US are hoping for
the time when women may grow more
and still more interested in the manner
OF men who sit in the highest places of
all, more ready to extend their applause
or to withhold il, when that is the need
Of the hour.
But public dignity and public honor
cannot be carried along by men or by
women through the simple process OF
closing their eyes.
At least. that is the way one woman
views IL.

This Will Remove
Hairs From Face
(Toilet Taiks.)

Many beauty experts have discarded
the electric needle and are now using a
plain delatone paste to remove hairy
growths because this method Is almost
instantaneous and is entirely devoid of
pain The paste is made by mixing
some powered delatone with water and
this is applied to the hairy surface for
about or minutes. then rubbed on
and the skin washed. This banishes
every trace Of hair and leaves the skin
soft and spotless. Be sure to get the
delatone in an original package.

FORESTRY FOR
LIGHT HOUSES

The federal light house bureau and
the forest service are cooperating in
forest work. Though this sounds
strange, it becomes very simple fact,
as pointed out by the officials of the
bureaus, that the cooperation is con-
fined to the light house districts on
the shores of the great lakes in the
lumber states of Michigan and Wis
consin The light house reservations
here include total of nearly $500
acres, and range in size from 80 acres
at Grand Island Mich, to 1910 acres
at Grand Marais.
An examination is just being start
ed to determine the best forest meth
DDS to pursue on the reservations. On
some, from which the timber has been
cut, white pine and Norway pine Will
be planted. On others the timber al
ready growing will be preserved
through use. On two of the reserva-
tons, the forest experts point out, the
opportunities are excellent for grow
ing cedar and pine for spar buoys anu
piling, to be used in the work of the
light house bureau itself
All parts of the reservations can not
be devoted to forests Some areas will
have to be left clear for protection
from fire, while Others Immediately
adjacent to the beacons themselves
will have to be left bare in order that
the lights may not be obscured

The younger members of the Turn
vereins resent the idea held by many
that the turner organizations are pure
ly for elderly people. Miss Marie
Ferber, one of the leaders of the st.
Louis turner delegation to the turn
fest, said: people shouldn't get the
idea that the turnverein is merely
for older German people who wish to
keep up the customs of their father
land. That isn't true. About three
fourths of any woman's turnverein
ordinarily is made up of young girls
with the rest sprinkling of young
married women. The older German
women as a rule, usually have very
little to do with it. They are bound
by the customs of the old country. 1t
is the younger generation, most of
whom We're born in this country who
take the greatest interest. There is
no organization like the turnverein to
develop, besides physical health, sense
of power and independence. You will
find that nine German girls out of ten
