WHEN CLEANING HOUSE
SIMPLEST AND QUICKEST METH.
DDS OF DOING THE WORK.
Housewife Of Experience, Of Course,
Has Her Own Manner of Doing
Things, but These Hints May
Be of Value.

For those who have put off their
housekeeping from the spring tothe
autumn the time of reckoning has
finally arrived Perhaps a few words
as to the simplest and quickest way tc
get through this period of trial may be
welcome to many housewives.
If you own a house start at the top
and work downward. II you are a
fiat dweller, begin in the room far.
thest away from the hall door, always
leaving the kitchen until the last.
One direction applies to every room
in the house. First take down all
hangings and draperies. The carpets,
too, must come up. If any Of these
are to be replaced by new, the old
coverings should be Immediately sent
to the laundry or cleaners. If not,
they should be carried out of doors
and given thorough brushing and
beating.
Next, all pictures and ornaments
should be removed from the walls and
thoroughly busted and cleaned. These
should then be piled in safe spot and
covered from the dust.
After this the floor should be well
swept When this is finished the wall
should be swept off with clean
broom twice, then gone over with a
buster.
The floor should be brushed lightly
Z to collect such dirt as may have fallen
from the walls. Chairs which are
stuffed should be thoroughly beaten
with bamboo bat, and then the wood
work on them polished. For the fine
furniture, which may be spoiled by a
polish of beeswax or turpentine, a
good furniture cream should be used,
but this should be tried very carefully
before using on fine woods. Also a
perfectly dry silk cloth should be used
For dining-room furniture the old
fashioned mixture of turpentine and
beeswax is better than anything else
For leather covered chairs this Is
much better and safer than any new.
tangled concoctions you may be per.
suaded to buy.
If there is fireplace In the room
this should be well cleaned and the
hearth well ename1ed.
Then scrub the floor thoroughly.
using strong carbolic soap and hot
water, When the floor Is perfectly
dry the clean carpet may be put down
and the stretches of floor which sur
round it should be well polished with
plenty of beeswax and turpentine.
All cushions should be beaten out of
doors before being returned to their
accustomed places.
The pictures should now be rehung,
the windows cleaned and fresh cur.
tains put up.

MRS. WILSON'S BODY
IS LAID TO RESI-
PRESIDENT, ACCOMPANIED BY
HIS DAUGHTERS, MADE SAD
DEST JOURNEY OF LIFE.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Woodrow
Wilson, President of the United
States, last night made the saddest
journey of his life. In a special train
bearing the body of Mrs. Wilson to
its final resting place beside the graves
of her father and mother, he was on
the way to Rome, Ca, with his daugh-
ters and few members of his own
and his wifes families.
The last simple ceremony of the
funeral will take place this afternoon
in the quiet, wooded cemetery Of the
Georgia town. Then the President
will turn again to the burdens of his
office and the loneliness of the White
House.
While flags were draped at half mast
throughout the capital today and thou
sands gathered in the wide avenue be
fore the White House, the first ser
vice was held over Mrs Wilson'S BODY
in the east room. The flags. the
crowds, the closing of the government
departments in the afternoon and the
masses of flowers which overfiowed
the east room were the nations only
way of expressing its sympathy.

SUPERVISORS DENY
HELENA PETITION
AREA IN PROPOSED SCHOOL DIS.
TRIcT INCLUDED TOO MUCH
THEY THOUGHT.

All the agitation in favor of a big
consolidated school at Helena came to
naught yesterday when the Board of
Supervisors rejected the petition of a
number of residents in the Helena
neighborhood, asking that bonds be is
sued to build a new and improved
school house.
There were number of reasons why
the board came to this decision. 1t
was found, on careful investigation,
that some Of the property which the
Helena petitioners included in the pro-
posed new district did not properly be-
long there. 1t was also found that
the opposition to the additional tax,
which kept quiet until after the petit
ton had been filed, was very strong
and the supervisors believed that to
affirm the bond issue at this time
would surely create discord in the
neighborhood.
E. J. Currie, superintendent of edu-
cation, said today that he believed the
people of Helena district would pre-.
pare a new petition, omitting from the
area all ground which the supervisors
did not think belonged in it, and that
they would present a new petition
soon. He said he believed the set
back is merely temporary. 1t is prob
able the supervisors will not adjourn
until the latter part of the week, as
there is still much important routine
business to be attended to.
j. L. Davis and w. A. Conn, members
of the board, made a trip through the
country today to inspect some now
county bridges.

INGTON OF ELECTION.

A telegram from the Riggs National
Bank, of Washington, D. c. to Frank

Hattiesburg banker has been elected
to represent group 2, class "a" on
the board of directors of the Regional
Reserve Bank of the Sixth District, to
be located at Atlanta.

ment who are in charge of the organ.
ization of the new financial system
completed counting the ballots yester.
day and Mr.. Foote election was an.
nounced, along with others.
In addition to Mr.. Foote announce
ment was made of the election of
L. P. Hillyer, of Macon, Ga; and w.
H. Toole, of Macon, Ca, from Glass
"A" and of w. H, Haryford, of Nash,
Vile, Tenn, from Glass b. a,.,s,
Mr.. Foote'S election will cause little
surprise in Hattiesburg for it has been
the opinion in financial circles here
ever since the meeting at Montgomery
that his race was as good as won.
In the, face of the European war
crisis and the general financial strin-
gency, it is expected the organization
of the regional reserve banks will be
pushed with vigor and it is not at all
unlikely that Mr.. Foote will have to
spend the greater part of the first
month in Atlanta. After the institu-
tion has been we'll launched and in
good running order, however, it will
only be necessary for Mr.. Foote to
be absent from Hattiesburg for the
monthly or quarterly meetings of the
board, as the case may be.
The First-National Bank of Com
merce has received a number of
kilograms today congratulating the
Hattiesburg man on his election.
One of the first kilograms to
be received was from Edward
W. Lane, of Jacksonville, Fla,
Mr.. Foote'S strongest opponent and
generally regarded as the leading
banker of his state.
McLane Tilton, of Pell City, Ala.
another defeated candidate, wired his
congratulations. Other kilograms
from B. L. Gaddis, Jr., of the Fourth
National, of birmingham; L. NJ. Poole
vice-president of the Hibernia NaS ion
al Bank, of New Orleons; Emmett
Yates, of Hammond, La; W. H Toole
of Windar, Ca, who was elected il
the same group, and several others.
Mr.. Foote received these congratu
lauons at his home, He did not com
to his office today, as he is indis
posed.
