Declared Man in City Jail Dungeon
Spec ling of His Grub

Because they swore at the men
bringing in their meals, several city
Jail prisoners were warned today that
the dungeon in the basement was
waiting for them. According to M. A.
Nelson, proprietor of the cafe which
serves the risoners three meals daily,
two or three of the inmates of the
prison annoy him when he brings the
dinners. He took his complaint to
Mayor r. L. Cofran this morning, who
in turn reported it to Chief Ross. The
men were threatened with the dark
cell in the basement if they are not
more polite or gentlemanly to their
walters.
The food this morning was said to
be of good quality and none of the
prisoners raised any objections to it.

Little Fodder or Ensilage Be-
ing Fed to Horses.
Fungus Growth ON Fodder
Makes 1t Unfit to Feed.

Farmers and stockmen in the north
ern part of the county have come to the
conclusion that 1t is cheaper to buy
hay than horses. So there is very lit
tie ensilage or corn fodder being fed
Authorities, almost without exception
agree that ensilage is not fit to feed
horses. 1t is SO rich that it will give
them indigestion in a short time if fed
regularly. Not few horses have been
lost by farmers and stockmen this win
ter and last winter on this account.
The corn fodder grown last year is
also unfit to feed horses. according to
the veterinarians. when the fodder
is damp there is a kind of fungus
growth which develops on the stock and
leaves which makes it unfit for horse
feed,'' said DIR. c. 0. Byerley this morn
ing 1.-The fungus Is on the same order
as yeast and is very harmful to horses
and often proves fatal. I would never
recommend that fodder or ensilage be
fed to horses"
1t seems that the fodder is not as
harmful to horses when it is dry as
when it is damp. The dampness causes
the fungus growth which makes it un-
fit for feed.

If it be true that "Cleanl.ntss .t next to godlness,' it is quite as certainly a fact that cleanliness sus- tains an intimate relation to health. if needed. the two are not insepar- ably joined,
 Women. especially, seem pre1es- tined to spend no small part of their lives in a never-ending combat With dirt and disease, It may be remark ed in passing that these two D's have a much closer relation to each other than many people suppose.
 Custom has decreed that homes shall undergo periodic uDheayals. though you cannot but sigh for the time to come when houses will be so constructed and furnished that thorough cleaning will be natural process carried on to a certain eN- tent each day. and a systematic renovation each week will be the rule.
 In planning the spring houseclean- ing campaign, a little looking ahead and some system about the business will simplify matters wonderfully. Before the time arrives when stoves and furnaces (with their accompany ing dust which cannot be ayoided) can be dispensed with for a fe" months, it is a pretty good plan to go through the dresser drawers, clos cts, and such places, clear them up and straghten them out Even the most careful housewife will find in these places an accumulation of ar ticles that are fit only for the house hold bonfire.
 No woman will be likely to make a real success of her housecleanin& if she does not believe in the cleans ing virtues of fire. It is the great purifying agent. Look through your house and sort out all the old let ters and papers, patterns long since out of date. rags, old felt and straw hats no longer fit for wear, bonnets, feathers and artificial flow CTS, trousers, dress coats, boots and shoes by all means, paper boxes, bric-a-brac, coupon pictures and chro- mos and last but by no means least-calendars.
 The most sanitary home is the one which affords the least chance for the accumulation of dust and the disease germs which are always

uSES FOR LINEN TAPE.

Ribbons fade after washing or two, therefore why not use fine white mercerized linen tape for underwear? 1t comes in all widths, plain and fancy.
 Keep your sewing basket or bag equipped with linen tape. Many q small tear may be neatly Garned down to tape instead of patching. Sew loops to tape in every garment which is to be hung up. In all un- derwear thread tape; be sure to tack it securely in the back so it will not slip out if one end should get an extra pull by accident.
 Linen tape seldom twists, launders perfectly. ties and unties without knotting, does not wear out before the garment, gives general satisfac- ton, and is especially desirable for children's apparel

HOUSEKEEPING FOR EiEALII!


floating about seeking victims Some housek e.ers seem to have a perfect mania for storing up old odds and euds-~oln-oat Or useless things,
 i'll the expectation that they win come in aseiul sometime. One #om- an saves every old shoe-5oz and bit Of pasle5oard that comes to the house, because she says sometime sGe might want to send away 3 photograph. Old magazines and are piled away because sometime she might ant to look up an article in some of them All the old boots of the family are say ed, because she might want a bit of leather sometime to make a hinge for box. Slippers are saved to keep the boots company. Old rags and garments are pohe4 here and there in every convenient place, be cause she intends to make quilts or mats, or because sometime some parts of them would come handy, The most eNasperatiug thing about such methods is that she believes ali this slowing away of trash is commcndable forethought and econo- my. when 1t is nothing Of the Kind.
 Perhaps all homes do not have such a collection to begin work on, but there is usually some useless lumber as the result of the winters accumulation Ii one can get rid of it before the actual cleaning begins, and get the out-of-sight" places in order. it will save time after the actual cleaning begins and help in getting the rooms in order.
 Hardwood floors and rugs are rapidly displacing the tacked-down carpets, and are especially desirable for sleeping-rooms. Even an old common wood floor can be made both inviting looking and sanitary by the use of some of the many good pre- pared floor finishes on the market, The revival of the Old-fashioned rugs made of rag carpet is a hy- gienic custom that is especially worthy of consideration when the renovation of the children's rooms is in progress. Such rugs are wash able; the painted or varnished floor can be washed up every week and the task of keeping down the float ing dust is made easy.

NEAT IRONING BOARD.

A simple way of removing the board, and one Whica has been entirely satisfactory is to use large brass thumb tacks instead of pins. The board may be covered tightly. and the work will take jHst half as long as with the other method.

WHEN YOU RIP.

There is all ineXpert way and al expert way to do so small thing as ripping garment. The wrong treatment sometimes puts a perfect ly good garment beyond the possi- Dility of making over. Scissors should not be used for ripping. A sharp pointed knife does the work better. Hooks, eyes, buttons and clasps, etc, should be taken off with great care and patience; bias seams carefully held, that they may net be stretched and all threads neatly pulled out after they are well cut. Lace trim mings should be carefully taken off without pulling or shipping.

STEAM FOR COMPLEXION.

A thorough steaming has a won derfulIy good effect occasionally in clearing the complexion. It may be accomplished by holaing the face over a basin of hot water and keep ing in the steam with a towel which covers the head and basin, forming q sort Of tent. After steaming for I short time, wash the face well with a good superfatted soap and warm water, then Gouche the face With cold water.
 The soap does the work of cleans ing. the hot water removes the suds, and the cold closes the pores of the skin, which it braces so that it is not made too sensitive to bear the effects of cold winds, or of sun.
