Keep the sows where they will not

PETUNIA COSTUMES.

Petunia shades in velvet, silk and
crepe de chine are SO aIIuring that it is
small wonder that the petunIa costume
has become a fad. Because OF the cost
of the materials in which the peculiar
purple and red tones are most perfect
these get-ups are usually seen at after
noon receptions and at evening dances
One OF the most successful models is a
three-piece costume, consisting of a De-
tuna red-corded silk skirt, blouse, also
of the silk, cut away at the shoulders
and elbows to show round-necked
Suimpe in petunia rose malines, and a
three-quarter coat in petunia purple vel
vet, lined with satin matching the rose
Of the malines. The purple velvet hat
carries petunia red ostrich plumes and
the gloves and shoes are in black suede
This choice of minor accessories is a
wise one. for were they in white, gray
or even in glace black, they would glare
at the dull petunia tones.
Dull and inconspicuous accessories in
variably accompanying the petunia even
ing costumes. These are usually in two
or more shades in malines and are
chiefly worn as dancing frocks by young
girls. Occasionally, however a young
matron is seen in a trained gown of
petunia-shaded malines or chiffon, bright
ened by a necklace or a dog collar in
rubies, amathysts or emeralds set in dull
Dutch silver.

HOW AND WHY DUST
Is so DANGEROUS

The various methods of dustIess clean
ing are deservedly popular in these DAYS
Of preventive medicine. Dust i. danger
Gus to health. Air germs" are mostly
dust germs. and the number of disease
germs in the air is usually in direct pro-
portion to the amount OF dust contained
in il.
Disease germs which are cast into dry.
dustless air soon lose their power to
cause disease. But when they can attach
themselves to dust particles, they are
protected and retain the moisture which
is necessary for their life, for long periods
of time.
tuberculosis germs. for example, will
live and retain their disease-producinS
power from one to nine months on indoor
aust. and as long as two months on street
dust.
Dust found indoors. especially in dark.
damp, poorly ventilated places, is more
dangerous than outdoor dust. which is
dried by being blown about and is sub
jected to the purifying action of the
direct rays of the sun.
Besides being carrier of disease germs,
dust IS an enemy to health in an indirect
way. 1t acts as a mechanical irritant to
the delicate mucous membrane lining the
breathing organs.
This irritation, il continued. causes a
mild Inflammation, or catarrhal condition,
lowers the natural resistive powers of
these delicate structures, thereby prepar-
ing the soil for the growth of disease
germs which may find their way there.
Floors, carpets, walls, and furniture
the whole house, in fact, can and
should be cleaned without making dust.
Dry sweeping and dry busting simply stir
up the dust from one place to let 1t settle
again at another.

The Tea Table May Mean
Many Delightful THINGS

Tea is not merely a beverage; it is very
many things in one-rest, refreshment,
comfort, and consolation.
Its supreme power lies in establishing
friendly relations between people who
have very little in common: it develops
unexpected conversational powers in The
timid. it subdues the aggressive, disarms
the cynical, and inspires the witty. In a
word, it is a potent magic that quickens
10 life the best that is in US all.
In every large city there are husbands
, of women, artists, musicians, writers, and
business women whose Lares and Penates
are all inclosed within four walls but the
domestic touch of the tea table, the
power to offer ones hospitality in the
form of friendly cup of tea will make
OF the four walls home.
prettily appointed tea table is within
almost every ones reach. As for the
table itself, the most practical table for
any one who must consider space is the
kind with the top that turns down SO that
il may be pushed back against the wall
when not in use
This is a revival of an old style, and
very good copies in mahogany, w1kh round
or oval tops. may be bought for as little
as Sc.
The curate's assistant, so named be-
cause in England it is the young curates
who must fetch and carry, Is a pretty
adjunct, not essential, but very useful
when tea is served out of doors
These also go by the more prosaic name
of muffin stand, and cost, in mahogany,

willow
A pretty conceit, and a most economi-
cal one, is to have the entire service,
including the teaspoons, Of Chinese ware.
A goOd-sized tray of woven straw.
shaped very much like the hats the
coolies wear, may be bought for s. cents.
For as little as $3.50 a most attractive
tea service is sold that includes teapot,

cups and saucers. The china is very
thin, and the coloring is good, whether
It is entirely blue and white or In the
reds and greens Of the Chinese medallion

makes that ware one OF the most beau
tiful that there is.
China teaspoons are pretty and not
fragile, and have for the busy woman
the great merit of not growing furnished.
It is sometimes hard to choose between
the two evils of using dull silver or
spending time and energy in cleaning it.

no business to marry. There isn't the

URGES CHANGE TO

BRISLAWN SAYS STATE MUST
GET AWAY FROM GENERAL
SYSTEM OF TAXATION

Collections of inheritance taxes, es-
cheats and liquor licenses made in
the past l ! month by the tax commits
sion amounted to $241,862.13, ]. w.
Brislawn, a member of the commits
sion, stated in an address at the
weekly luncheon of the Thurston
County Democratic Club last Satur-
day. The total cost of the tax COM
mission for salaries. clerk hire, trav-
cling expenses and incidentals during
that period amounted to $14,684.52,
he said, leaving net collection over
the expense Of operating the depart
ment of $227,177.61.
Mr.. Brislawn spoke on taxation,
the work Of the tax commission and
the reforms necessary in the state.
"The first step to be taken is con-
stitutional amendment, permitting us
to get away from the general proper
ty tax" said Mr.. Brislawn, land we
will urge the next legislature very
strongly to submit such an amend
ment at the next general election.
Believes it Will Pass.
"The prospects for the passing of
such an amendment are brighter now
than they were before, bue to the bet
ter understanding that people gener-
ally have of the difficulty of tax re-
form without first amending the con-
stitution. This will enable us to
classify property on the tax rolls that
now escapes taxation entirely, so that
the burdens of taxation may be re-
duced by distributing them more ev-
emily and upon a greater amount Of
property than at present.
"The tax commission can only eff
feet a reduction in taxes indirectly
by collecting every dollar that is ow-
ing to the state for indirect revenues
and by assisting the assessors of the
state to secure more uniform listing
of property in order that the burdens
may be distributed as fairly as pos

ing to it that the state gets dollars
worth of service for every dollar ex-
pended on the commission, and that
no more money be expended than is
necessary.
Follow Governors Example.
II can think Of no way in which
you may accomplish this better than
by following the splendid example Of
the present Democratic governor,
when he stood before a hostile legis-
lature and forcibly told them that
the appropriations then contemplated
would be far in excess of the contem-
plated revenues and that undoubted-
ly. If the appropriations proposed
were made, the revenues from the
general fund would be exceeded by
hundreds of thousands of dollars even
though the highest levy permitted by
law were fixed for that fund"

Cookery Basket.

One of the objections to cooking with
paper bags has been the difficulty in
lifting the bag from the grid of the
oven without opening it and spillng its
juices. This difficulty is entirely over
come by using the novel metal basket
recently put on the market for this
special purpose. The basket is of at
tractive looking metal, very light, fit
ted with handles and is to be lined
with special parchment paper. in which
the food is placed 1t entirely does
away with bursting or heating bags
and permits the food to be removed as
easily as it would be from any ordinary
utensil. Special bags or papers come
fitted to the basket. which also has a
lid and can be lifted directly on to the
table If desired.
