"Rurplaro Was Treasurer

From the New York Sun.
 San F'rancisco.--Citizens and taxpayers of San Mateo county need never fear for the safety of some s5o0.ooo in gold that lies in their county treasur in Redwood City. At Il o'clock In the morning a burglar alarm sounded. Gongs were rung in every part of the court house and bells were heard in a dozen different places in the outlying district and the news was flashed that the treasury vaults were be- ing footed.
 Deputy Sheriffs John Shields and O. Parker poked sawed off shotguns in tho treasurer's office doors. Constable Mich ae Sheehan. Traffic Officers James I.o- gan and NJ F. Brown covered the court house doors with revolvers and Justice of the Peace II. w. Lamplin ran from his court room half a block away armed with a hammer. the only engine of de- struction he could find on a moment S notice.
 The period of suspenxe seemed hours. Finally County Treasurer F. F. Cham- berlain emerged from the vaults drip- ping with precipitation. His apologies were profuse. While opening box in the vaults he had jared the mechanism of the burglar alarm and had set it in operation.

MADAME ISE'BELL
 Explains Properties of Hair : TOnics
The Hair and Scalp-Part VII

As we have explained previously the blood vessels that feed the hair roots provide all that is required for hair growth; oil is obtained from the oil glands, and normal. healthy scalp needs no tonic or other applications save those necessary for cleanliness. But an abso- lutely normal. healthy scalp is rare, so rare that 1t need hardly be taken into consideration in this connection.
 Many people have an over-dry scalp; in some cases the oil glanos secrete hardly at all and it is necessary that the scalr should have some application to make ur for this deficiency. The oils most com monly used for 8 dry scalp are vaseline and preparations containing castor oil Remember that a hair tonic has no virtue the scalp. Tn the case of oily prepara- tions it Is particularly necessary that the scalp alone should be treated for oil or the hair Is not pleasant, while the scalp needs 1t. A medicine dropper provides an economical and convenient method of ap- plying hair tonics.
 An oily scalp Is often improved by the application of a tonic that will act as an astringent. reducing tho supply of the oil glands and mitigating che effect of too much oil on the scalp. Most tonics de- signed for this trouble nave good pro- portion of alcohol.
 For dandruff there are many specifics. While cleanliness is the first requisite in removing this trouble, it should be re- membered that dandruff is really dis ease, form of bacteria, and Is often very stubborn of cure This condition can often be helped by some scalp appli- cation.
 A torpid scalp that Is pushing scanty. weak hair needs invigorating. Tonics for this purpose contain capsicum, alcohol and cantharides. and certain preparations of petroleum have proved most beneficial in assisting hair growth. Camphor, an- other favorite ingredient in stimulating tonic will sometimes t.nd to making the hair curly on account or It's resinous quail ities.
 Choose the tonic that your hair needs and use 1t with the scalp massage move ments given in an earlier portion of this lesson. and the benefit will be twofold.

Home Made Cook Book

Noting the scope of your work in the Helping Hand Corner l ask why not inaugurate some method of saving and perpetuating 1t? The daily papers, mag azines, etc, are disseminating informa- ton so useful. varied and complete that it takes the place of a cook book. It seems the time is ripe for each woman to compile her own books of recipes, each recipe tried and true, when tested, to be placed in it. limited number, un- der proper headings, would be the peer of any cook book on the market. Besides the merit of recipe there would be the added one of personality In the trying out process there would be the entire as- sstance of the II. H. c. The recipes from the paper should be put into envelopes properly headed, as Beverages Bread, etc. The book should be loose leaf affair, consisting of lids division sheets, etc., on which should be printed the rules, methods. information etc., concerning that class, and blank sheets, a double column, on which to paste the clippings. A book might also be made to cover such ideas as laundry, sewing gar dening, cleansing. bugs, etc. l think a woman should be taught to clip and pre- serve extracts In time she will have information of priceless value. If there is nothing suggestive In this letter you have a waste basket handy. S. E.
 Tn making room for the foregoing val uable communication l am moved by per sonal consideration as well as by the conviction that our correspondent has laid before our members a scheme at once feasible and most useful to the practical oLsemother Home made cook books wei. the treasure houses from which our grandmothers drew all the domestic lore they transmitted to us. The bookkeeper of today has a wealth of materials put into her hands. If this were classified and preserved as our able correspondent suggests there would be little need Of seeking for recipes elsewhere. And may add, feelingly, still less occasion for the repetition in our all too cramed Cor ner for formulas which I mean to keep but have unfortunately lost?"

Gasoline Best Remedy

"I no longer have the horror of bedbugs once had. To me gasoline is the sim plest and best remedy for the b. b's It spreads into all the cracks, killing the bugs and destroying the eggs as soon as 1t touches them. Gasoline is good to clean woodwork and will eyaporate from any fabric. l once took tapestry couch out of doors and poured gallon of gaso- line over it. One application did the work Use plenty. A bottle or small can may be used in putting the fluid around the beds. Brush the mattress each week with whisk broom, and use more gaso- line if needed. Do not use gasoline where there is a fire or light of any kind, or stay in a room where the fumes are strong with it. MRS. G. w. R
 Regular readers of the Corner need not be reminded that l have over and again expressed the opinion that gasoline clears premises of the loathsome inruders upon the comfort of family more effectually than any other agent. Within week have reiterated this belief with emphasis. Given reasonable degree of care in the use of the inf1ammable fluid, 1t is a remedy for grevous evil within the reach of every housewife. Keep artificial light away from the neighborhood of the gas oline, and ventilate freely in opening the closed rooms, and there is no drawback to the use of it.

Clean Before Storing

twill you kindly advise through the Corner which is the better thing to do, to clean white ortrich plumes before lay ing them away for the summer season or put them away soiled from the last seasons wear? I thought of cleaning them now. or would they become yellow ish? M. e.
 They may be cleaned by dipping them in cold starch tinged with bluing and quite stiff. Hang in the sun until per- fectly dry. then shake and brush out the powder. Tn putting them up lay between sheets of pale blue tissue paper with cakes of white wax under the paper. Or you may clean them by sousing them up and down in plenty of gasoline. drying them in the wind and shade. Hold over a hot stove to recurl when the gaso- line has entirely evaporated. Do not put them away while soiled.

Portieres of Corn


 II recently wrote to you in reply to a query in the Corner. As you have so many letters 1t may be sometime before mine can appear. What l asked is. do you know anything about making corn portieres? How Is the corn dyed? Are the grains softened before one may string them? E. l.. MT You will have seen before now that correspondent offers to give instructions without charge to persons wishing to learn how to make portieres. Since it may not be convenient for you to avail your self of the kind proposition, I am ask ing for you and for others who have ap- piled for like information that some mem- Der conversant with the process of mak- ing corn portieres will let us have the formula. We are pretty sure to get what you desire to have. It Is against our rules to send recipes by mail and in the present instance have not trustworthy formula for making the portieres.
