Large sheets of this may be saved from cracker boxes and many small cardboard poNes containing candy, dates, raisins and other fruit cartons lined with a good ouan- tity of waxed paper.

 An excellent way to clean harbrush is to take one-half cup of salt and flour in equal proportions. Mix and rub through the bristles of the brush two or three times. Shake the mixture all out and the brush will be as clean new. This is better than washing the brush, for it does not softer, the bristles.

>OI round of cardboard about twelve lnches In diameter, and fix about six hands to the center. Round the rim ot
 the dial write the names of various
 kitchen articles in alphabetical order, such as apples, ammonia. butter. bread etc. Leave a fairly large space so that you can add to the list if necessary As you need the different groceries, etc. instead of bay- ing to hunt for a pencil. you simply turn hand to the name of the article.
 Handkerchefs which have become yellow can be made snow white by soaking them i. pipeclay and water for twenty four hours.

With Sleeves Set In.

A pretty nghtgown with set-in sleeves may have a broad deep front and back most nightgowns now are made to slin over the head. Have the loose bell sleeves cut ;,, deep points ending an inch above the elbo,u outline the neck with inch wide lace Insertion set on top of the narrow turned seam and overcast, three-quarter inch lace to it.
 Starting from the point of the in front paste strip of insertion at each side to form diagonal line for three inches Miter to a point and bring the insertion to the neck in sertion at the shoulder seam and contin,,a it around back of neck. Half way between the point and the shoulder haste a second strip to form a parallel diagonal line, cross ing the first from similar point and carry over the shoulders and round the back in line parallel to the first and second rows and about an inch away.
 If you do not want to have the fullness drawn in at the neck cut it just big enough to slip easily over the head and have A pro,,n Of five or six quarter inch tucks in the night dress extending below the point of the V h give fullness over the bust.
 Overcast the lace to the rolled or narrow hem points of the sleeve and set in tbe in. sertion about an inch above. following tba outline of the points. Cut away the maie- rial under the insertion. Stitch the lace nm each edge. cut away the material into mar row seari. turn back. and stitch again. This may be done with the raw edge or it can be turned into a narrow hem

Simple 10 Make.

The making is simplicity itself. Place wrong side to wrong side and sew a narrow-about a quarter inch-seam on the right side on the sleeve and down each side. Trim off rayel- ings, turn. crease the edges evenly and stitch again in a seam on the wrong side Though the fiat fell is usually preferred for underwear the French seam is equally good for the kimono style and always is easier to manage for me.
 Slip the nightdress over the head and turn up the desired depth for a hem. If the goods have not been shrunken make the gown at least inch and half longer than you wear it. Three inches is a good sized hem for the ordinary garment. Hem by hand with ninety cotton, or if the gown is not one of your better ones save time by using the ma chine. The seams should do on the machine even when all the rest or the work is hand made.
 The sleeves may be drawn up or the ribbon can be run through plain with small bow on the top. Instead of the two lines of stitch ing on this transparent banding the upper edge can be sewed to the gown in a narrow seam and turned over as a facing on the right side; that is. put the right side of the banding to the wrong side of the neck or sleeve, stitch the seam. turn and crease along the upper edge then sew the banding down to the right side of the gown, having first turned in the lower edge of the trimming enough to hold when stitched.
 Instead of the banding heavy torchon or Cluny insertion can be used in the same way or embroidery insertion is equally effective though rather harder to put on. For lace beading finish the neck and bottom of the sleeves in quarter inch hem or less and sew the lower edge of the beading on top of it. on the right side. For the sleeves the upper edge of the beading is sewed Sew the ends of the beading in bias seam to make it fit better.

The size of the dresser scarf shown here is sixteen inches wide by thirty-one inches long. In order to continue the width of the scarf repeat scallop design between Nos. 1 and g add terminal design No. to No. 3. To continue length of scarf repeat scallop design between Nos. and G. Then add entire design shown reversing it's position
 Ihere are two ways to apply the design to the material upon which it is to be worked IT the material Is sheer, such lawn and the like, the simplest method is to lay the material over the design and with q sharply pointed pencil draw each line If, on the other hand, the material is heavy, secure a piece of transfer or impression paper. Lay it face down upon this, then draw each line of the paper with hard pencil or the point of a steel knitting needle Upon lifting the pat tern and the transfer paper you will find a neat and accurate outline of the design upon your material.
 There two points to observe in this simple process if you would execute it satis- factorily. One is to that your material is level, cut and folded by a thread and that your design is placed upon it evenly at every point The second is, when placed accurately secure the design to the material with thumb tacks or with pins so that it cannot slip dur ing the operation.

NEWCOMB TOLOOK
INTO ILLEGAL SALES

Des Moines, Feb. 19.-Investigation
Of the alleged illegal sale of drugs by
mail order houses doing business in
Iowa, has been undertaken by George
D. Newcomb of Creston, member of the
state pharmacy commission. He is in
communication with druggists about
the state and others who are said to
have discovered points which will en-
able the druggists to make a success
full fight against the mail order con.
Germs.
Sales of drugs and articles handled
by drug store operators by outside
companies by means of clubs and or
CARNATIONS is said to have deprived
the retail dealers of the cities of the
state of considerable business. The
dealers appealed to the state pharm
acy commission to take up the matter
for them.
The pharmacy commission will come
to Des Moines on Friday to be present
at the hearing of the three men charg
ed with conspiracy in the pharmacy
it is probable conference will be
held with Attorney General Cosson
with the object of preparing the mail
order drug case for the courts.
1t is said that the mail order houses
take million of dollars every year from
Iowa retail druggists, There is scarce
ly city or town in the state without
clubs working in conjunction with
some mail order house. The member
ship in these organizations runs up in
to the thousands. In Des Moines 1t Is
discovered that one secretary has forty
clubs and makes comfortable living
managing the affairs of the clubs.
All the druggists of the state are
working with the view Of finding some
| legal point or some irregularity in the
business, which will enable the state
to force these companies to cease bust
ness in Iowa.

His decision to enter the race came
Tuesday after repeated conferences
and requests from numerous friends
and party workers of the district.
These men have the welfare of the

lican vote and bring the district again
into the republican fold.

research and deliberation and he
maintains them with courage and de-
termination, careful, however to
respect the rights and views of those
who differ with him. Twice elected
county attorney on the republican
ticket in the democrat stronghold OF
Davis county and with an enviable
record as an official, the attention OF
the republicans Of the district was
directed toward him as man deserv'
ing higher honors.
HE is broad minded and liberal,
both in political and social life. In
the politics Of Davis county he has
been one of the mainstays of the re.
publican party.
He is of the good old German stock,
80 years old, born in Ohio, coming to
Davis county in 1888 from Mclean
county, III. Left to his own resources
at an early age, the qualities that later
distinguished him as man developed
and in the face of trying obstacles
fought his way upward to success. He
ambition was to enter the law He
earned the means to educate himself,
worked at farm labor and later taught
school to acquire the necessary sum to
graduate in law. He refused fourth
election as superintendent of the
Bloomfield public schools to enter the
law department Of the Iowa state uni
versity in 1908, graduating in 1906 and
Immediately engaging in the practice
at Bloomfield. His rise has been
rapid, and his career without a
blemish. He is student of public
affairs, never superficial but deep and
broad"
