Hands and Feet in Winter.

The great point in being warmly clad
Is to attend first to the warmth of the
extremities.
While the blood is passing through
these small parts 1t is rapidly chilled, I'M
less the heat is shut in, and thus the
covering Of the legs and arms Is really
more important than the covering oI the
body. Chilblains on the hands were less
common a generation ago than at the
present time, says the Philadelphia Even
ing Ledger. The people of those days
wore woolen cuffs instead of elbow sleeves
and thus escaped the cold fingers which
produce chilblains. We may not care to
go back to the fashion of wooIen Guns.
but We shall not look conspicuously out
Of fashion II all our blouses are made
with long sleeves. and our shirt bIouses
fastened round the wrist with a band
Even then IL there is any feeling OF chilli
ness in the arms We do well to wear long
sleeve underbodices. or wooden armIets.
And II We have neither time nor money
for making or buying the latter, we can
make them from the leg parts of dis
carded stockings.

The Hourplass

Instead OF being obsolete and simply an
interesting relic. the hourglass in various
forms is a twentieth century necessity. A
machtnist authority points out that for
such purposes as timing. hardening and
tempering heats in twist drill manufac-
ture. where seconds or minutes must be
gauged accurately. nothing serves like the
hourglasS with the right amount of sand
Accuracy to fractions of a second can be
had much more easily than by watching
the hands OF a watch.

folding ironing board in a very pretty
cretOnne case is one of the newest acces-
sories for the woman who travels The
board, which is about three feet long
when opened, folds in the middle and
slips into the neat cretOnne case. A per-

which is slipped on and fastened when
the board is open, also slips into the Gre

holder finishes the equipment of this
serviceable case. Most women who travel
carry an electric iron in their trunks to
use for pressing blouses and gowns
wrinkled in travelling and to iron dainty
lace collars and cuffs when time does not
permit sending them to the tailor or

GOVERNOR HAYS WILL
OPEN CAMPAIGN AUGUST Ii

Little Rock, Aug. Gov. G.. w.
Hays will open the Democratic guns
in the state campaign, at Ola, August
IA. This much was decided at the
meeting of the executive committee
of the State Central Democratic Com
mittee, which met in campaign head
quarters Wednesday afternoon. There
will be big picnic at Ola on this
day, and Gov. Hays has been invited
, to deliver the principal address. If
the people do not wish a political adj
dress. the opening of the campaign
will be delayed day or so and some
other town will be given the honor.
but Ola is not expected to pass up the
privilege Of opening the Democratic
campaign. and fail to entertain the
large crowd it will attract.
1t was the unanimous opinion Of
the committeeman that the Democrats
campaign alone, consequently there
will be no opposing spellbinders to
share the time with Gov. Hays ut Ola.
Gov Hays has placed himself at
the disposal of the committee, and he
will be called upon frequently to lead
the battle against the enemy. Gov.
Hays has intimated that being at
the head of the ticket he is willing
to go to the front in it's behalf as
often as the committee desires. It
is planned to have him deliver about
twenty speeches during the campaign.
The committee has a list of about
800 speakers that can be called upon
at any time to take up the campaign
in behalf of Democracy.
